Economic Report – Recent investments in oil transport infrastructure: an analysis of impacts and challenges

This document describes the efforts and challenges of the sector to improve the pipeline and river transport infrastructure for crude oil, estimates the impact of some of these investments, particularly the adaptations to receive heavier crudes (with a viscosity of 600 centistokes cSt-) in the Ocensa and Apiay pipelines, whose second phase began operations this month; and presents the benefits of multimodal transport of oil and its diluents via the Magdalena River.
