SURFACE FACILITIES PROJECTS
REGIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
OIL, GAS AND BIOFUELS SECTOR COMPANIES
IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
INTRODUCTION
The oil and gas industry in Latin America and the Caribbean faces the challenge of carrying out major projects in refining,
petrochemicals, oil production and transportation, both offshore and onshore, in order to meet the growing demand for energy as a
result of the economic growth of the region, and also to meet the demand for fuels with lower environmental impact.
These projects are capital intensive and of great importance, not only for the economy of the companies, but also for the
communities where those companies operate, due to their economic and socio-environmental impact.
For these reasons, the group on Management of Major Refining Projects of ARPEL has organized this workshop and invites all
professionals of oil and gas production companies, oil refining companies, construction companies and analysts of major project
management to exchange experiences and good practices in this field, in order to optimize the execution of these projects.
OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP
• Sharing experiences, best practices and lessons learned in the management of major projects for the oil and gas production,
transportation and refining among companies of the oil industry in Latin America and the Caribbean.
• Analyzing the new trends in the management of major refining and surface facilities projects, led by construction companies'
specialists who are experts in the state of the art of this topic and recognized at the global level.
