Professionals from Ancap, Cupet, Ecopetrol, GeoPark, OCP Ecuador, Tecpetrol and YPF started their training at the new edition of ARPEL Leadership Program, with the three 100% on-site modules to be delivered in Colombia, the United States and Mexico.

Module 1 – “Global Factors and their Effect on the Latin American Upstream sector”– took place from May 30 to June 1, 2023 in Bucaramanga.

What are global and regional companies doing to meet NDCs and low carbon goals? How should Upstream companies’ portfolios be analyzed? and What drives stock market profitability?
