Colombia names Venezuela gas pipeline repair a national priority project
Colombia has put the recovery of its gas pipeline with Venezuela on a list of strategic projects. The aim is to diversify gas supply, while the oil agency plans a restart of stalled drilling.
The Colombian government has added the recovery of the Antonio Ricaurte Binational Gas Pipeline to its National and Strategic Interest Projects, known as PINES. The pipeline links Colombia with Venezuela. The project sits under the Strategic Resources and Energy mission.
The government calls this a key step for an initiative meant to diversify where the country gets its natural gas.
Separately, Colombia's oil agency unveiled a plan to restart drilling contracts that have stalled. It says the industry needs about $10 billion of new investment by early 2027.
