We have just finished the Third Oil and Gas Summit (III Cumbre de Petroleo y Gas) and as always it was packed with interesting sessions. While the ANH’s extended workshop on Friday will have the most impact in the short- and medium-term, my candidate for the most important long-term discussion was Thursday’s “Role of the hydrocarbons sector in the framework of the global recovery” (El rol del sector de hidrocarburos en el marco de la recuperación mundial), mostly because it had very little to do with the title.

Former Minister of Finance (MinHacienda), Mauricio Cárdenas, took the virtual stage of this year’s Oil & Gas Summit to discuss the role of the oil sector in Colombia’s energy transition process.
Campetrol’s German Espinoza and the Vice Minister of Mines and Energy (MinEnergia), Miguel Lotero, opened this year’s Oil & Gas Summit. HCC attended the virtual event.

Procolombia’s president, Flavia Santoro, explained why she is confident on the fact that more foreign direct investment will arrive in Colombia during 2021.
The National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) reported that it will host a second round of fracking pilot projects (PPII) in the coming days.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced its forecast for oil and other liquid fuels consumption.
At the recent Parex 3Q20 results call, CEO Dave Taylor officially announced that Lee DiStefano, Colombia President and Country Manager for the past 10 years, was retiring after 40 years in the industry. I wanted to get his views on the Colombian situation, so I asked for an ‘exit interview’ – virtually of course.
