Frontera Energy graduated the first group of women in Colombia in Oil and Gas Production Technician  

Frontera Energy, in collaboration with SENA Regional Meta, graduated 24 women from the municipality of Puerto Gaitán as ‘Technician in oil and gas well production’ as part of the company's objective to contribute to equity and inclusion in the regions where it operates and support female empowerment in the industry.

This training program was created by Frontera in 2021 after identifying that the position of production operators represented an opportunity to train women, given that 100% of the population occupying this position in the company is male.

In order to implement the program, partnerships were made with SENA Regional Meta, who created the courses, with the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) that accompanied the selection process and shared best practices, and CoreWoman that worked on women's empowerment with the students in parallel with their technical training.

Orlando Cabrales Segovia, president of Frontera Energy, stated: “We are very proud of this group of women from Meta who today receive their degree and who are evidence that gender equity is one of our banners, as we are convinced that by empowering women we will achieve a more equitable world.”.

Oscar Amaris, Hydrocarbons Coordinator of the Ministry of Labor, said: “For us, what Frontera is doing with these women is a benchmark, they inspired us to replicate from the Ministry, hand in hand with other allied entities, an initiative for gender equity in the hydrocarbons sector in other territories of the country.”.
