South America hydrocarbons watch
Bolivia's hydrocarbons minister Luis Alberto Sánchez swore in Fernando Salinas as head of the ministry's recently created hydrocarbons planning and development department.
Salinas is a chemical engineer with postgraduate qualifications in the administration of oil and gas companies, gas engineering and processing plants. His previous posts include energy development vice minister and executive director of the ministry's VNG conversion unit EEC-GNV.
For its part, state hydrocarbons company YPFB issued a consultancy call to draft conceptual and basic engineering plans for the overhaul of a pipeline from Gualberto Villarroel refinery to Jorge Wilstermann international airport.

Ecuador's state oil company Petroecuador awarded Trafigura a contract to import 40,000b of avgas after the commodity group presented a differential of +US$72.49/b.
The other bidder was Phillips 66, said the NOC, which added that 34 groups were invited. The first of five 8,000b shipments are scheduled to arrive next month.
The entire lot will guarantee supply of the fuel until April 2018, according to Petroecuador.

Colombia's Ecopetrol reported that its subsidiary ECP Oil and Gas Germany registered an office with Angola's justice and human rights ministry to comply with legal requirements in the African nation as part of a process to withdraw from two exploratory blocks there.
In 2014, the NOC announced plans to enter Angola as part of a strategy to diversify and strengthen its international exploration portfolio. But it recently said it planned to leave the country after failing to find commercial quantities of oil and gas there.
