Amer News Perfect Storm-Ecu Change27 Jun 2018 21:34
There is no doubt AMER are caught in a sea of change, on many fronts, PUT 8 takeover, Ecu, Elections, FARC, ONGC Ramadan, so with the boat taking on water with power draining. But surviving these trails and tribulations, some of which are Marco Economic could bare huge fruit offerings . I never realised the radical Power consolidation shift taking place in Ecuador Govt Oil industry - sonsolidation , I gave a factor of 3 not 9. Quote 'As a result of the State's organizational measures and in order to reduce its size, in line with the austerity announced, on May 15, 2018 the President of the Republic issued Executive Decree N° 399, which provided for the merger of the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy, the Ministry of Mining and the Secretariat of Hydrocarbons into the Ministry of Hydrocarbons, to be renamed the "Ministry of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources"1. These mergers shall be completed within 90 days. As a result of this presidential decision, the Ministry of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources and its minister, Carlos Pérez-García, will have important responsibilities in the future development of Ecuador. Among these responsibilities, the Ministry is committed to recovering the space lost by Ecuador in its capacity to attract direct private investment in the oil exploration, exploitation and refining sector and, to this end, is seeking to ensure that the selection processes for investors are once again formalized through the tender process and that they allow for free competition on equal terms. As I said earlier - sorry to repeat again this a SEA change of approach and there will be delays for the betterment of our investment. - Oil & Gas 2018 Fields: This process is underway and is intended to attract private investment for the Cuyabeno-Sansahuari, Oso, Yuralpa, Blanca-Vinita and Amistad fields, located in the provinces of Orellana, Sucumbíos, Napo and El Oro. Fingers crossed. GLA. It's hot damn hot - Robin Williams, crotch pot cooking.
