The balance
In the presentation of the oil balance of the Colombian Chamber of Petroleum, Gas and Energy, Campetrol, of the second semester of 2024the balance of hydrocarbons production in Colombia was shown last year. The results account for a 9.5% national gas production drop in contrast to an increase in imports of 166.4%.
Energy resource imports had a growth of 166.4% in twelve months, after having brought from Trinidad and Tobago and the United Statesmainly, 214.1 million cubic feet (MPCD), compared to 80.3 MPCD of 2023.
In February 2025, the inspected gas production was 1,294 million cubic feet (MPCD), which represents a 12.0% decrease compared to the same month of 2024, equivalent to 176.8 MPCD less. In relation to January 2025, a 1.5%decrease was experienced, that is, 19.8 MPCD less.
-during the first 2025 bimester, the average production was 1,305 MPCD, which reflects a 10.6% reduction (155.0 MPCD less) compared to the same period of the previous year. The inspected gas production closed the year 2024 with an average of 1,428 MPCD, which represents a 7.6% decrease (117.6 MPCD less) compared to the average reached in 2023, which was 1,546 MPCD.

In February 2025, the commercialized production of natural gas in Colombia was 824 million MPCD which represents a 19.4% decrease compared to the same month of 2024 (198.0 MPCD less) and an increase of 0.5% compared to January 2025 (equivalent to 4.0 MPCD more). In the accumulated of January and February 2025, The average production was 821.9 MPCD, which represents a 17.2% drop (171.2 MPCD less) Faced with 2024 bimester, when 993.1 MPCD were recorded. In annual terms, during 2024 the average production was 958.5 MPCD, evidencing a 9.5% decrease compared to the average of 2023, equivalent to 100.1 MPCD less.
