Colombia PPAA round marks a long-awaited return
Report summary
Colombia`s return to the bid round scene proved to be remarkable. After half a decade away from licensing rounds, the first cycle of the Permanent Offer (PPAA) auction resulted in 11 out of 20 areas awarded. The terms are unchanged but a new administration is boosting confidence in the sector. These results demonstrate the success of the government's effort to extend the country's reserves. We expect the awarded blocks to increase the remaining reserves by 20% and spur investment.
