After nine years, Francisco Lloreda decides to retire from the Colombian Association of Oil and Gas

The Colombian Association of Oil and Gas (ACP) wishes to inform that its current executive president, Francisco José Lloreda Mera, has made the decision to resign from his position, effective from August 15, when he completes nine years of tireless work for the hydrocarbons sector.

The decision is due to personal reasons that coincide with what Dr. Lloreda considers a completed cycle in the defense of one of the most important economic sectors of the country; his interest, at this moment in his life, is to continue working for Colombia from other scenarios.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors of the ACP, we regret Dr. Lloreda's decision not to continue at the helm of the guild. In these nine years, he was a strong defender of the industry and national interests, raising the name of the Colombian Association of Oil and Gas, and the hydrocarbon industry; we express our sincere feelings of gratitude and admiration, wishing him the best in his future plans,” said Orlando Cabrales, president of the Board of Directors of ACP.

“In the next two months, the selection and transition process for the presidency of the guild will take place, which will seek a suitable candidate who will continue in the same line of defense of the oil and gas industry,” Cabrales pointed out.

The ACP team will continue with its legacy of contributing to the study and generation of knowledge for the definition of public policies, working with the national government and, in the regions, with communities, governors, mayors, and authorities in the
territory.
