OIL AND GAS IN LETIZIA

The territorial dispute between Colombia and Peru over the city of Leticia and its surrounding areas in the Amazon region, which occurred between 1932 and 1933, is known as the Leticia conflict. Although it did not directly focus on resources such as oil or mineral wealth, the region was strategic because it was located in the Amazon, an area with high potential for natural resources, including oil and gas. Territorial dispute: The lack of a precise border delimitation in the Amazon region between Peru and Colombia was the cause of the conflict. Amazon as an oil boundary: The Amazon, an area with abundant natural resources such as oil and gas, has become a new frontier.
