ARPEL’S 58TH ANNIVERSARY

 

As ever, an Industry in Constant Change, with new Challenges and Opportunities
in the Energy Transitions of Latin America and the Caribbean

History can be interpreted as the result of the tension between continuity and
change. As Heraclitus said some 25 centuries ago, “the only constant in life is
change.”

 

Fifty-eight years ago, eight state-owned oil and gas companies in Latin America
and the Caribbean decided to establish Arpel as a vehicle for cooperation and
mutual technical assistance. Initially and in its essence, it was a forum for
the exchange of knowledge and experiences on topics mostly related to
operational efficiency and industrial safety. We are proud of this legacy and of
continuing, as always, to articulate and be the catalysts of many reciprocal
technical assistance events among our member companies.

 

But our industry, its technology, and its environment have been changing and,
consequently, so have the priorities and needs of our member companies. As Arpel
is only the reflection and sounding board of its members, our association has
also been adapting, evolving, growing, and transforming itself.
