While Colombia is globally recognized as a source of heavy oil, deepwater exploration and the discovery of shale formations have opened phenomenal development opportunities for Colombian conventional oil producers, international offshore and unconventional producers and investors around the world. High volumes of recoverable reserves such as the Middle Magdalena and Cordillera blocks have been compounded with the government’s policy towards the development of unconventional resources and favorable royalty schemes that indicate it will not be long before Colombia becomes a firm fixture on the international offshore and unconventional resources’ map.

You are invited to join the Colombia Texas Chamber of Commerce and the US Commercial Service in a Forum where international oil and gas experts and government officials will discuss why you should be looking at Colombia for both deepwater and unconventional business opportunities
