Event concept

Energy investment, policy and project development in the Andes and Central America.

In its 5th year, the Andean Energy Summit is Latin America´s most forward thinking, senior executive energy forum that will address the financial, regulatory, technological and operational challenges facing oil & gas, electric power, and renewable energy operators in the Andes and Central America.

Held in the energy capital of the Andes (Bogota, Colombia), the Summit will unite a faculty of energy project developers, regulators and investors who will address key trends, opportunities and challenges in driving the industry forward. Investment plans, environmental issues, new regulations and sector specific updates will be the focus of the agenda and the conversations held at the Summit.

This is the business Summit where new business relationships are created: Critical business relationships that will enable the growth of your business in 2011 and beyond. In 2010, the Andean Energy Summit united over 300 senior executives from over 22 countries, who participated in over 30 keynotes, case studies and panel discussions led by 50 senior level speakers from some of the most important energy companies operating in the Andes and Central America.

In 2011, we expect even higher attendance, better quality panel discussions, and more high level networking activities. We look forward to hosting you in July, 2011 in Bogota!

3 reasons to attend this conference:

  • Expand your network
  • Reach key customers & prospects for your company
  • Learn about major energy projects, investments & trends

An aside: Having attended previous Andean Energy Summits, I can attest that networking is an important component of the summits. And the net connections range widely among many different fields, even those outside of the energy field. I met maritime attorney and a US online reputation management expert along with his partner, a well connected search results removal expert. I never even knew there was such a thing, but what he does is fascinating. He can remove harmful search results from damaging your reputation. Say a search for your name in Google brings up an old DUI arrest. Or a search for your business shows the fraud indictment of a previous employee. His company can suppress in the search results the harmful result, basically pushing it down until it falls off of Google's first page. Coincidentally, my client's business had been attacked online by a radical environmental group. A news item reporting false claims was ranking in searches for the company name. Though defamatory, it was unaddressable by US law because the site was based on foreign soil. But imfy.us was able to effectively remove Google search results that were damaging the business. Because they were drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico with an American partner, the maritime lawyer's advice was particularly helpful. I was given a finder's fee for the introduction/ recommendation which was also sweet.

May Oil Production hits 923,000b/d - colombia

Oil production in Colombia last month reached 923,000b/d compared with 902,000b/d in April and 776,000b/d in the year-ago month, according to preliminary statistics from hydrocarbons regulator ANH. Output has averaged 883,000b/d so far in 2011 versus 785,000b/d in 2010. Mines and energy minister Carlos Rodado Noriega has set production targets of 920,000b/d for this year, 1.15Mb/d for 2014 and 1.5Mb/d for 2015. Carlos Rodado is one of the confirmed speakers for the next Andean Energy Summit to be held in Bogotá, July 13-14. At this conference he will expose about regional overview on his portfolio and production targets for the region. Natural gas production hit 1.01Bf3/d (28.4Mm3/d) in May versus 988Mf3/d in April and 1.11Bf3/d in May

government supports lng export project - pacific rubiales ceo - colombia

Colombia's government has given its full backing to Canadian oil firm Pacific Rubiales' (TSX: PRE) plans to begin the country's first LNG export program from the La Creciente field in late 2012, according to CEO Ronald Pantin. "The government of Colombia is behind this project. We have all the support and decrees we need," Pantin told the firm's annual general meeting in Toronto, Canada. Pacific announced plans to begin small-scale LNG exports to the Caribbean from the La Creciente gas field on the SSJN-7 license earlier this month. The company has enlisted the help of Swiss LNG transport company Exmar for the exports, and will sell the gas at prices between US$4.50/MBTU and US$5/MBTU. According to a company estimates, around 11% of its international oil cargoes currently go to Central America and the Caribbean. Pantin also said the company is looking to diversify away from its North American market, which accounts for about 60% of its oil cargoes, by increasing its presence in new economic markets such as India and China. Within Colombia, Pantin confirmed that construction of the US$4.2bn, 450,000b/d capacity Bicentenario pipeline is currently progressing well. The US$1bn first phase of the project, involving the construction of a 120,000b/d stretch between Araguaney in Casanare department and Banadia in Arauca, is due online by the end of the year. Pacific has a 32% share in the venture alongside NOC Ecopetrol and several other Canadian juniors. Ronald Pantin estará presente en la próxima Andean Energy Summit como parte de la sesión que discutirá el papel que tienen las petroleras y gasíferas Junior e independientes en Colombia. En este panel, lo acompañaran: Julian García (presidente, Gran Tierra Energy), Huimin Ye (COO, Mansarovar Energy) y John Francis Scott (COO, Petrominerales) empresa con la que también participa en la construcción del ducto Bicentenario.
