Latin America Oil and Gas Assembly Conference 2017 (Barranquilla, Colombia – October 5-6, 2017) – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Latin
America Assembly 2017” conference to their offering.

Building upon established relationships from the first four Getenergy
Americas events, and looking at new opportunities across the rest of the
continent, Getenergy Latin America seeks to transform the economic
potential of oil, gas and renewal energy in Latin America through
localisation, education and training.

Governments, Operators, Service Companies and the training and education
communities are actively seeking to engage with international partners
to help them build local capacity for energy markets across the entire
continent.

In Colombia, the signing of the 2016 FARC Peace Agreement has provided a
secure platform to develop international partnerships and investment.
Ecopetrol aims to increase production by 2020, with more licensing
auctions scheduled and steps taken to liberalise the market.

Sessions will be open discussions on how to improve local workforce and
supply chain capacity, and how to maximise the economic potential of
hydrocarbons for national development in the region. Country focused
workshops will outline; how governments, operators, educators and the
supply chain are working together to achieve their goals in a continuing
low price environment, the current and future skills gaps, and what is
required from the international community.

The 5th edition Americas event, will launch Latin America, expanding
into new countries such as Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela,
Belize, Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago whilst building upon our
established relationships in Colombia and Mexico.

The Latin American Oil & Gas Community is actively seeking to engage
with international partners. Universities have identified the need for
the transfer of learning and knowledge and teacher exchange programmes
and oil & gas companies are committed to retraining the existing
workforce and developing new local skills. A national strategy will be
necessary to integrate all the players in the value chain and to
optimise existing and newly discovered reserves for the benefit of the
country.

Latin America discussions will focus on:

– Improving local workforce and supply chain capacity

– Strategies to maximise the economic potential of hydrocarbons for
national development in the region

– Examples of regional success in a longer term low price environment

– How industry leaders can successfully transfer their skills and
knowledge to new generations
