(Energy Analytics Institute, 4.Oct.2024) — Ecopetrol SA president Ricardo Roa has analyzed the natural gas deficit in Colombia and stressed that the reactivation of Venezuelan gas imports could be a feasible solution, as long as Repsol SA provides the supply.
During the VII Oil, Gas and Energy Summit, Roa mentioned that the import of Venezuelan gas is something that is on Ecopetrol’s agenda, according to reports in La Verdad on 4 Oct. 2024.
Roa said that up to 150 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) could be imported from Venezuela’s Cardón IV field. Partners in the offshore field include Spain’s Repsol and Italy’s Eni SpA.
“If the owner of that gas is Repsol, we could facilitate the transfer of gas from Venezuela to Colombia without problems,” the online media outlet said, citing Roa.
