Both the Colombian petroleum producers' industry group ACP and the petroleum workers' union UTIPEC are in agreement in their calls for flexibility in petroleum transportation prices in Colombia's indirectly government controlled transportation network, and decry CENIT's financing...

The collapse in oil prices has led ACP, Colombia's petroleum industry association to call on the country's government to allow flexibility in the regulated pipeline transportation costs, that now make up almost half the cost of a barrel of oil, says the trade group.

Frontera Energy had been producing an average of roughly 8,950 barrels of oil per day from Block 192.

The 55-kilometer pipeline, with an 8-inch diameter, will span the distance from the town of Chinchiná in Caldas to Pereira.

The abduction reportedly occurred around 7:30 am on the day that the UN head arrived in Colombia to discuss the nation’s peace process.

President Santos recalled the nation's peace negotiator from Ecuador and told the military to "act with force and respond to this ELN aggression."

Ecopetrol said that it “rejects these illegal actions” that endanger people, damage the environment, and harm neighboring communities.

Repairs have not been completed due to “continued harassment by firing helicopters” and “anti-personnel mines,” said Ecopetrol.

The oil spill has threatened a nearby stream that feeds into an aqueduct relied upon by some 3,500 locals in Guamalito.

The prolonged shutdown has cost Colombia some 893,000 barrels of production, according to Ecopetrol.
