He says Frontera is now well positioned as a focused infrastructure company with a clear path for growth.

Frontera holds a 35 per cent interest in the Oleoducto de Los Llanos Orientales S.A., one of Colombia’s main crude oil pipelines, and its 99.97 per cent stake in Puerto Bahia, a maritime terminal in Colombia.

Parex says the Frontera deal adds 37,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of production.
