Past, Present and Future
EAGE and VAPA are jointly organizing a Special Session called “Venezuela’s Upstream to Downstream - Past, Present and Future” to take place in a fully online format, in November 2020 as part of the Second HGS and EAGE Conference on Latin America.
This special session will bring a series of guest speakers that will explain the Oil & Gas exploration and production history of Venezuela; production infrastructure, refining and commercialization capabilities for Hydrocarbons and products, but more importantly, they will offer a view of the potential available in Venezuela to be developed during the reconstruction of the Energy Sector.
Please visit constantly our website for updates on the program and speakers this session will have.
Looking forward to e - seeing you!!!
