Colombian peace deal not a cure-all

摘要

Bogota, Colombia-Analysts and industry sources are skeptical that the peace agreement announced last week between the Colombian government and a rebel group with which it has been at war for a half century will provide any short-term boost to the fortunes of Colombia’s beleaguered oil industry. Continued violence, logistical difficulties and an expected tax increase later this year on top of an already high government take will continue to make Colombia’s oil patch a challenging place to find, produce and transport oil and gas, experts said, particularly compared with more hospitable venues.
