Pacific Rubiales Operations in Colombia

=Activities=

As of 2011 Pacific Rubiales was producing nearly one quarter of Colombia's total oil output 953,000 barrels per day (bpd), and Time magazine sees the company as the main driver behind Colombia's energy boom. The publication also comments that Pacific Rubiales' Colombian operations are run by exiled Venezuelan oil workers.

Pacific Rubiales owns 100% of Pacific Stratus and Meta Petroleum Limited, two Colombian operators with interests in the Rubiales and Piriri oil fields in Colombia’s Llanos Basin and the La Creciente natural gas field in northern Colombia.

When members of Colombian oil union USO went on strike in late 2011 over pay and conditions at Pacific Rubiales, press reported that union members received death threats from right-wing paramilitary groups.
