The comprehensive protection of the energy sector must be a priority for the economic and sustainable development of countries, not only for the promotion of investments that generate their development, but also for the security of their population.

 

Overview

The operation of the energy sector in Latin America represents approximately 3% weighted of the regional GDP in countries with oil activity. This boost promotes development, social investment in education, security, health and other essential areas for society.

 

The profitability of the Latin American energy sector, its impact and the scope of the operations that drive it, are frequently affected by illegality and the fragile institutional presence. These factors make it difficult to analyze and control the effects caused, causing serious difficulties for the communities and their environment. In many cases, they even threaten the sustainability of the sector's operations.

 

The problem transcends to the creation of organized crime cells, becoming not only an affectation for companies, but also structural security problems for countries and their populations. These criminal structures derive in sophisticated criminal enterprises that generate a real illegal economy, nullifying productive vocations and business ventures.
