Latin America’s conventional energy sector is experiencing a dynamic transformation, as both established producers and emerging players navigate volatile price environments, regulatory shifts, and global energy transition pressures. This panel will explore the latest investment trends, operational challenges, and new projects shaping opportunities in the region. Experts will discuss how companies are repositioning for growth, improving efficiencies, and managing geopolitical risk in today’s market.

  • Current outlook for new investments in upstream and midstream conventional energy projects (such as natural gas, hydro, and thermal power) in key countries like Brazil, Chile, and Argentina as investor sentiment evolves.
  • Navigating regulatory changes, heightened ESG demands, and geopolitical developments influencing the viability and capital flows into long-term conventional energy projects.
  • Are there particular innovations in capital structuring or risk transfer (e.g., insurance solutions, political risk mitigation) that are unlocking new projects in Latin America?
  • Where do panelists see the best balance of risk and reward for investors and developers in the conventional energy landscape over the next five years? Do you see a clear path for traditional energy companies to navigate the energy transition, or is the outlook still uncertain?
