A wave of violent incidents in the Quifa oil field, located in Puerto Triunfo, Meta, sparked alarm across Colombia’s energy sector.
Ecopetrol launched a new Produced Water Treatment System (STAP) in the Acacías Station, with a capacity to process 120,000 barrels of water per day.
In Colombia, every gallon of fuel powering vehicles contains a 10% agro-industrial contribution, ethanol derived from sugarcane or biodiesel made from raw palm oil.
