Industry group CAMPETROL reported average oil production of 731,000 b/d in January–August 2026 — 27.3% below 2015’s 1.006 million b/d. Marketed gas was 704 MMcfd, 31.6% below 1,030 MMcfd eleven years earlier, according to Caracol Radio’s Nov. 4, 2026 coverage.

Import dependence

Imported gas accounted for 40% of total supply in October 2026, while proven gas reserves equal 5.9 years of production (vs 9.9 in 2015).

Contingent resources and Sirius

Colombia holds 10,540 Bcf of contingent gas. Portafolio notes the Sirius offshore project (Ecopetrol–Petrobras) at about 6 Tcf, with FID targeted for Q4 2027 and first gas in 2030–2031.

Corporate contrast

Ecopetrol separately reported 1,944 MMboe of proven reserves at end-2025 and a 121% replacement ratio driven by enhanced recovery — underscoring oil corporate resilience against a structural domestic gas gap.
