Venezuela is evaluating the possibility of exporting natural gas to Colombia.
The technical team of Colombia’s Central Bank (BanRep) updated its forecasts on the behavior of Brent oil prices for this and next year.
Oil production in Colombia could be affected if exploration of new hydrocarbon areas is halted.
Gustavo Petro’s campaign promise to ban fracking will be fulfilled sooner rather than later.
Minister of Mines and Energy (MinEnergia), Diego Mesa Puyo, spoke about the hydrocarbons sector’s contributions to Colombia.

Experts explained in more depth how the fracking technique works.
