Monday, 20 June, 1400 to 1500OPENING CEREMONY

Monday, 20 June, 1500 to 1630PANEL 1:THE ROLE OF THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENTOF LATIN AMERICAFocus:

1. How can the petroleum industry contribute to change some energy-dependent economies in Latin America and theCaribbean into stable and socially developed countries? Some issues: Increasing the flexibility of response,promoting a wide range of products, and growth with social responsibility.

2. Is the industry underinvesting its cash assets, and are opportunities constrained in Latin America and theCaribbean? Are the rising oil and gas prices having an impact in Latin America and the Caribbean, and are theycommensurate with investments in the petroleum industry?

3. The dynamic management of the countries’ and companies’ petroleum-assets portfolios and their ability to obtain arapid response to emerging global or local issues.

Thursday, 23 June, 1045 to 1215PANEL 4:CHALLENGES IN INTEGRATING THE NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTHERN CONEFocus:

1. Strategies to increase the natural gas demand in the Southern Cone development.

2. Can Latin American and Caribbean countries share a long-term vision of the natural gas market?

3. Natural gas is gradually gaining more importance in the world energy market; Latin America and the Caribbeanneed to consolidate their position as the leading gas-producing region.

Thursday, 23 June, 1045 to 1215PANEL 5:REGIONAL INTEGRATION THROUGH TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCESFocus:

1. The rate of technology change is accelerating, requiring changes in skills and work processes. Are the petroleum-engineering training programs in Latin America and the Caribbean tailored to this revolutionary technology-drivenenergy sector?

2. Are technology transfers from service companies to operators and between companies already in place in LatinAmerican and Caribbean countries?

3. How can we prepare people and communities for the new technologies? Some issues: motivation, retention, andleverage.

4. Are turnover, retirement, professionals turning into super-experts, cultural diversity challenging knowledge-basedorganizations, and making efficient use of manpower becoming issues of paramount importance?
