DAY FIVE: GEO-PARK

DAY FIVE: GEO-PARK

We could not wish a better wrap-up meeting! The GEO-PARK office is located in a great area where it owns a beautiful old building. The presentation and a round table discussion were conducted by Miguel Patrico Aylwin and Luciele Marks Oliverski. 

The company is founded and owned by two outstanding businessmen: Mr. Gerald E. O’Shaughnessy from Wichita, KS (GEO) and Mr. Park (PARK). The company signed contracts with governments of Latin America countries for gas and oil exploration and extraction. All natural resources are owned by the government of Chile. GEO-PARK has oil production and treatment facilities in Chile, Colombia and Argentina covering 3.9 million acres.

GEO-PARK is a private company which  practices social responsibility to people of Latin America: It creates value and gives back.  All employees are shareholders of the company and take pride in its growth and positive impact on the environment and people’s lives.

All of us are very grateful to Mr. O’Shaughnessy for inviting the MGLM graduating class to visit his company.

This visit concludes our business  residency in Chile, a beautiful country with endless opportunities.

We took lots of pictures and will post some of them shortly.
