Planeamiento estratégico de la producción petrolera de Colombia 2013

Abstract

The assessment of the strategic situation of petroleum production in Colombia shows that it is a linked to both public and private sector and has a prominent impact on the economy sector. The importance of this source of energy is something that happens not only in Colombia but worldwide the great powers are highly dependent on the evolution of prices and petroleum stocks, as is still the main source for moving companies and industries as critical as transportation. While international prices in 2008 were close to the level they had thirty years ago, after experiencing sharp declines in the early 80s and accelerated increments beginning of XXI century, in the last three years these prices have increased again as a result of the uncertainty associated with the performance of the world economy stemming from geopolitical events, the demand growth in emerging markets, the slow recovery of demand in industrialized countries and the volatility of financial markets. This evolution shows the close relationship between global economic events and oil prices.
