Colombia is reopening its doors to unconventional oil and gas development, presenting new opportunities and considerations for investors, operators, and legal professionals.

Join our US Chapter for a breakfast discussion exploring Colombia's evolving energy policy, from the fracking moratorium to the current reopening, including government incentives and the roles of ANH and the Ministry of Mines and Energy in shaping the country's energy landscape.

Our featured speakers will examine the legal and contractual frameworks governing unconventional exploration and production, including fiscal terms, royalties, environmental licensing, community consultation, and land access rights.

The discussion will also highlight key considerations for U.S. operators entering the Colombian market, including cross-border investment structures, tax implications, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The Chatham House Rule will apply to this panel discussion.
