La Guajira will have a new plant to import gas and add 250 million cubic feet to the system

TL;DR

  • Colombia has approved a new project to import natural gas and connect it to the national transportation system.
  • The initiative, part of the Natural Gas Supply Plan (PAGN), aims to add a regasification capacity of up to 250 million cubic feet per day.
  • The project involves installing a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) in La Guajira.
  • This FSRU will be connected to the existing Chuchupa B–Ballena gas line.
  • The goal is to increase supply options, ensure service continuity, and meet future energy demands.
  • The development leverages existing infrastructure in La Guajira, a historical gas production region.
