Exxon is participating in a joint-venture coal project with in Colombia in a move by the Colombian government to diversify exports and reduce dependence upon imported oil. The Cerrejon reserves equal about 12 billion barrels of oil. Exxon is responsible for 50% of the costs, and shares equally in the coal production. Exports have generated almost $1 billion in foreign exchange during the last six years, with income coming into Colombia nearly a year before construction on the mine began. The author describes the operation, which includes land reclamation and revegetation procedures as well as health and safety measures. Other personnel policies include socio-economic programs for job training and adequate compensation, as well as plans for improving community services.
