With fellow oil company Parex and the Government of Casanare in Colombia, we are working on a project to reinforce strategic bridges in Villanueva and Tauramena in the south of the department. The bridges are on secondary roads, and their strengthening is essential to improve connectivity and promote the development of local communities.
The Government of Casanare has played a critical role, leading the permitting process and guiding the technical visits that are essential to the project. The joint effort resulted in Resolution 0150 being passed on September 24, 2024, authorizing us to structurally strengthen the bridges over the Tua River in Villanueva and the Pinalito River in Tauramena.
We started the works on November 22 with local companies Global Tech Servicios y Soluciones SAS and CIAM S.A.S, as well as bridge design specialist Acerarq S.A., and the 4 billion peso project will be completed in the first semester of 2025. The main objective is to improve the safety and functionality of both bridges, making it easier for communities to travel and optimizing goods transport in the region.
This project reflects our commitment and that of the Government of Casanare and Parex to the development of sustainable infrastructure and the well-being of our neighboring communities, promoting safer and more efficient connectivity to drive progress in the region.
