As Colombia grapples with mounting fiscal pressure in early 2025, the drop in international oil prices has delivered a surprising benefit: it is helping stabilize the country’s fuel subsidy fund and alleviating some fiscal burdens for 2026. However, the picture is more nuanced than it appears.
A wave of violent incidents in the Quifa oil field, located in Puerto Triunfo, Meta, sparked alarm across Colombia’s energy sector.
Ecopetrol launched a new Produced Water Treatment System (STAP) in the Acacías Station, with a capacity to process 120,000 barrels of water per day.
In Colombia, every gallon of fuel powering vehicles contains a 10% agro-industrial contribution, ethanol derived from sugarcane or biodiesel made from raw palm oil. This mix, deeply rooted in the country’s agriculture and industry, has become a key component of Colombia’s energy landscape, helping to reduce emissions and create jobs.
The Colombian oil and gas industry is sounding the alarm over a sharp escalation in violent attacks targeting critical energy infrastructure.
We used to think that the Petro government and its Ecopetrol leadership were no more subject to scandals than any other Colombian government we have observed at close range. They’re not. They’re definitely worse. What implications (if any) for the industry, and those doing business with Ecopetrol?
