Title: Colombia News Hot off AP Wire Post by: JunFanTX on April 10, 2001, 04:00:00 AM BOGOTA (Dow Jones)--Attacks on the Cano Limon pipeline cut total Colombian
crude production to 579,130 barrels a day in March from 614,300 in February, state-owned oil company Empresa Colombiana de Petroleos SA (E.ECO) said in a statement Tuesday. March's total was down from the 631,700 b/d year goal set by Ecopetrol, as the state firm is known. The average for the first three months of the year is 626,200 b/d, also below the target. Ecopetrol said rebel attacks on the Cano Limon pipeline, which is the country's second most important, has cut production there to less than 10,000 b/d, which is less than 10% of its capable output in normal conditions. Cano Limon's production was less than 50,000 b/d in February and 118,000 b/d in January, according to the field's operator, Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY). Repairs have cost more than 2.5 billion pesos ($1=COP2308) while a further COP600 million has been earmarked for cleaning up spilled oil. Occidental has had a force majeure in effect over its obligations as operator since Feb. 27, after storage at the field filled up and production was shut down. The pipeline, which normally takes crude to the port of Covenas for export, has only operated for a few hours since February 17. It has blown up more than 60 times in the year to date, on target to easily beat last year's record of 98. The army says most attacks are by the country's second-largest guerrilla group, the National Liberation Army or ELN. Oil and its derivatives are Colombia's most lucrative legal export, accounting for around 35% of total 2000 export revenues. But without major new discoveries, reserves will be depleted fast, forcing Colombia to become a net importer by 2004, with potentially dire economic consequences. Title: Re: Update...

Colombia to invest $160m to explore 20 fields Bogota |Reuters | 11-04-01 Print friendly format | Email to Friend Colombia's public and private sectors will invest $160 million to explore 20 potential oil fields across the Andean nation this year, state-owned oil company Ecopetrol said in its bi-weekly magazine Carta Petrolera, published yesterday. "Ecopetrol and its associates estimate total investments of $160 million in exploration activities," it said. Empresa Colombiana de Petroleo, or Ecopetrol, said the hike in exploration comes as Latin America's fifth largest oil exporter moves to reverse its decline in oil production, caused mostly by natural fall-off in output from mature fields. Colombia needs to discover new wells or it could lose its self sufficiency by 2004, it said. Ecopetrol added the results of three oil exploration projects would be released by the end of 2001, including data on the U.S.-based Occidental Petroleum Corp's potential find of 2.20 billion barrels in reserves. Oil is the biggest export revenue earner in Colombia, Latin America's fifth largest economy, which also ships nickel, coal and coffee abroad. But the oil industry has been hard by recent rebel attacks that have slashed production and caused companies to miss contractual export obligations. Separately, Ecopetrol said yesterday Colombian oil output fell to 579,130 barrels per day in March, down from 723,500 in the same month last year amid rebel attacks along the 780-kilometre oil pipeline Cano Limon, run by Occidental. Analysts estimate that Colombia has 37,000 million barrels in untapped reserves, but virtually all are located in unexplored regions of the country controlled by rebels fighting in Colombia's 37-year-old war. Despite the conflict, enthusiasm over potential oil discoveries remains high. In 2000, Colombia signed 32 exploration contracts with multinational and local oil companies, compared with just one contract in 1999, due in large part to a cut in taxes on the industry due to changes in exploration licensing policy. The most promising oil discovery prospect is the Samore block in northeastern Colombia, which is run by Occidental and has potential reserves of above 1 billion barrels. Other hopefuls include the Capochos and Iscana blocks, also located in northeastern Colombia, which have potential reserves of 900 million and 250 million barrels, respectively. Capochos is operated by Spain's Repson-YPF while Iscana is run by Hocol. · Iraq exports at highest four-week average since November Title: Re: Re: Update...

Just some more info guys. COLOMBIA - Colombian Threat Highlighted to US Congress The US Commander for the Southern Command, General Peter Pace, told a House of Representatives committee April 6 that the “greatest threat to Colombian democracy” comes from the right-wing paramilitaries. Pace said he has evidence of cooperation between the Colombian army and the right-wing paramilitaries, although Colombian President Pastrana is trying to correct the situation. Pace then traveled to Colombia to explain the consequences to the military if they do not cut ties to the paramilitaries. Also on April 6, FBI agents and State Department and private security experts testified before a House Subcommittee that Americans are running a serious risk if they live, visit or have commercial interests in Colombia. Both the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) view Americans as prime targets for kidnapping and extortion. The private security expert added that many companies are finding it difficult to recruit Americans to work in Colombia and many of these companies may have to relocate. Similarly, some 38 congressmen wrote to Colombian President Pastrana suggesting that members of the Colombian Army’s 17th brigade assisted the right-wing paramilitaries in their March 5 attack on a small village in Antioquia State. They wrote that the army knew the paramilitaries would attack the village but did nothing. PERSPECTIVE: The Colombian government needs to address these Congressional concerns or face possible diminishing support in Congress for assistance to Colombia, akin to the 1980’s when Congressional support for assistance to El Salvador diminished because of close ties between government security forces and right-wing death squads.

Looks like instead of giving huge swaths of land away to Rebels, they need to take control of and secure huge swaths of land from the rebels. So that exploration can resume. The AUC just mounted an offensive against the ELN in the New ELNlandia pastrana gave them. The Colombian Att Generals office filed a warrant for a FARC commander today on Drug Charges....the first of such actions. The Colombian Army confiscated 1200 new uniforms and weapons of Venezulian origin......although Ven. claims they are facsimilies made in the US....LOL..

Well fool, there are over 2million internal refugee's in Colombia due to the war, conflict or disagreement....what ever pastrami wants to call it....along with 40 thousand civilian dead. If you look at the numbers of women joining agencies the numbers don't go up in proportion to the souring economy or the violence. Do the math....look at the BIG Picture of life....not for me...for you. I Get It ! Look at the numbers of people in the US and the World looking for romance outside their sphere of influence and contact. Frustration, Technology, and Acceptance are what drives the Long Distance Romance Game....coupled with poor choices in the close proximity of ones own sphere. People who look at life realisticaly and finaly accept that they might not get lucky in their local mall, and decide to become proactive about finding a suitable, desirable mate in a time frame of the sooner rather than later or never variety. Along with the acceptance that modern technology can further their efforts to that end. What the long distance romance venue really shows is many people becoming realistic and deciding to take the initiative on their own behalf. Simply recognizing that if one increases their exposure to potential mates they also increase their Odds of finding someone they really want, rather than just settling for whatever. So the real answer to your question came from Latin Woman quite some time back....A Jerk here, will simply be a Jerk on vacation there. And will have no better luck because of economics that he has in his own back yard. Don't believe me ? Just ask Rueben. Do your homework.....maybe then someday you will start to "Get It".

what does that have to do with my question??? previously you stated that the reason there are so many MOB in Colombia was because of the machismo. However, machismo exists in Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, brazil, Santo Domingo, Panama, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Chile but where are the MOB services there?? surely you wouldn't say that machismo only exists in Colombia. it seems to me that the social situation in Colombia has deteriorated so much that women are looking for a way out of their country so they don't have to become one of those refugees you cited. I saw that LC is closing down because of the cheaper competition. Obviously, Cali and Colombia are reaching the saturation point of MOB agencies. Someone commented that there may be new opportunities in other countries since Colombia is saturated. However, because other countries of South America do not have the same social crisis that Colombia has, there may not be enough interest to establish an agency service. Now, in the future if we see armed conflict or extreme social disorder in other countries like what is happening in Colombia, I can assure you that the climate will be right for the MOB services.

it doesn't take much to jump on a plane and meet women that desparately want to leave their country. you are proof that these women do not have the highest standards. I don't go to foreign countries to meet chicks. However, I do meet them when I go. Its part of the experience. I find the thought of having a girlfriend living in a foreign country to be unrealistic at this point. traveling two times a year to be with her is just not my idea of a relationship. having to marry her just to be with her and not really knowing if it will work out is too risky for my tastes. maybe when I'm older, like you, I would change my mind.
