The ongoing attacks on oil infrastructure create huge losses and serious environmental damage to various regions across the country.

This week, a two-part “What We Think”. Firstly, Campetrol’s Nelson Castañeda spoke to the national press, naturally about rigs, saying the February 2023 count fell again because of social conflict.

And for those with the patience to stick to the end, a reflection on Ecopetrol as we await Felipe Bayón’s replacement.
