Sergio Cabrales, Engineering Professor at the Andes University, explained the factors that the government must take into account to support the industry as an ally in Colombia’s economic reactivation process.
This is how the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MinCiencias) and the National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) aim to generate a positive impact in the oil sector.
Authorities confirmed that Resolution 0904 of 2020 is ready. This is what the document means for companies interested in developing fracking pilot projects (PPII) in Colombia.
In his most recent article, Carlos Leal, President of the Colombian Association of Petroleum Engineers (Acipet), spoke about the never ending fracking debate.
President Iván Duque spoke about what to expect in the coming months when it comes to the economic reactivation process.
These new decrees aim to reactivate the economy and attract foreign investment to the country.

The National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) announced changes in its administrative personnel, through Decree 1146 of 2020.
As the country creeps closer and closer to fracking trials, the opposition gets shriller concerned that economic interests will overcome environmental considerations. Concerned that the courts might make a pro-fracking decision, members of Congress from several parties across the center and left have filed a bill to prohibit the practice. That inspired the associations representing the oil and gas industry’s professionals to make a plea for science to carry its proper weight in these deliberations.
Senator of the Green Party, Angélica Lozano, and Francisco Lloreda, president of the Colombian Petroleum Association (ACP), spoke about the pros and cons of developing fracking pilot projects (PPII) in Colombia.
