Brazil's state-controlled Petrobras, under the guidance of chief exploration and production officer Joelson Mendes, plans to drill two exploratory wells in Colombia's Tayrona block, as announced at CERAWeek. This initiative aims to mitigate Colombia's gas deficit, which has led to a situation where imports, according to Ecopetrol, now constitute 30% of the country's needs. Amidst Colombia's increased reliance on gas imports and a pause in oil and gas licensing reported by Reuters, this project seeks to find sufficient gas reserves for both domestic supply and exports. Petrobras is optimistic that the offshore Colombia project could confirm enough gas reserves to not only supply Colombia but also enable exports, potentially in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
