London (PRWEB UK) 10 March 2015 -- Securing oil and gas assets has become crucial for companies operating in Latin America and the Caribbean, a region that holds a fifth of the world’s oil.

The Air Assault Aviation Division of the Colombian Army will open the Forum with a Keynote Address on Day 1. This presentation will be followed by an overview of the terrorism in Latin America and Caribbean, including FARC and ELN’s roles in Colombia; Sendero Luminoso’s activities within the Peruvian region, and the threat posed by The Paraguayan People’s Army. This presentation, led by Schlumberger’s Security Advisor for Latin America, will also address the menace of Narco-terrorism and Islamic extremism, terrorist activities that have been increasingly affecting Latin America’s oil and gas sector in recent years.
