Colombia plans to use its armed forces to help scout for new reserves of crude as it seeks to push output to a record, the commander of the armed forces said.
South America’s third-largest oil producer after Venezuela and Brazil is training a military unit to help perform seismic testing to locate potential reserves, General Freddy Padilla said in an interview yesterday. Until now, the armed forces only deployed soldiers to protect companies exploring for crude and at production sites.
