Ecopetrol is set to take another major step toward strengthening Colombia’s energy security with the potential approval of a third natural gas import terminal, this time in Coveñas, Sucre.
As Colombia faces growing concerns over its natural gas supply, the president of Grupo de Energía de Bogotá (GEB), Juan Ricardo Ortega, is calling for urgent reforms in pricing, regulation, and long-term contracting.
Gas prices are going up as we have said many times recently but how far, how fast, and how will this process affect what domestic producers can hope to charge?
As tensions rise over Colombia’s natural gas supply, industries and citizens alike are seeking clarity on whether the country faces a real risk of gas shortages.
Colombia’s natural gas supply is facing a growing crisis, with a projected shortfall of 20% by 2026, according to the Gas Market Operator (GMO) under the Bolsa Mercantil de Colombia.
In April 2025, Colombia recorded its lowest commercial gas production since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a recent report by the Colombian Chamber of Oil, Gas, and Energy Goods and Services (Campetrol).
Fedesarrollo warned of growing fiscal pressure amid rising import costs and shrinking domestic reserves.
Gas supply continues to fall while gas demand rises. The obvious consequence is that imports rise and thus the average cost of gas. The Petro government has even stopped saying that everything is under control or threatening to fine E&Ps that “waste” gas. Where did it go?
In a landmark effort to boost Colombia’s energy transition, the National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) and the Industrial University of Santander (UIS) have unveiled the results of a comprehensive research initiative aimed at identifying real, science-backed opportunities for decarbonization and efficient use of national resources.
At the IV Forum on Sustainability Achievements, Jorge Henao, President of Transportadora de Gas Internacional (TGI), outlined two urgent regulatory measures needed to ensure energy security, expand natural gas coverage, and secure long-term supply for Colombia.
