GeoPark: Colombian production resumes after protests
Latin American-focused oil and gas explorer GeoPark said June 1 it was able to resume operations in Colombia following disruptions from domestic protests.
GeoPark announced May 17 that road blockades and other demonstrations affected operations across three fields in Colombia, two of which were operated by the company.
Strikes across Colombia greeted an April tax reform proposal. Working to alleviate chronic debt, Colombian president Ivan Duque proposed a higher tax for middle- and high-income earners, sparking a major public backlash.
Colombian energy company Ecopetrol said last month that its upstream, midstream, downstream and commercial and marketing segments were all impacted by the social unrest. Apart from road blockades, the company said there had been isolated incidents involving its infrastructure.

it all boils down to this we have bills to pay. s 3$306 billion are due in august. we have $172 billion on hand. we ll be able to borrow if we want to borrow. nobody s worried about that, but we re up against a political barrier. the so-called debt ceiling, that s being used as way to prevent borrowing to advance a budget war. the budget war s a welcome battle. we need the conversation about the chronic debt in this country, but forcing a conversation about chronic debt when we have an acute problem, like a broken leg, which is unemployment, is like telling an overweight man walking into an emergency room with a broken leg that he s got to lose weight. by the way, if you fix the leg, the jobs problem it will help us lose the weight, the debt
