Colombia to begin natural gas imports early next year

Colombia in January will begin importing 39 MMcf/d of natural gas from neighboring Venezuela to meet domestic needs, ending decades of natural gas self sufficiency, the head of Ecopetrol said Monday.

The country is negotiating to increase that level of imports over coming months, Juan Carlos Echeverry, the CEO of the state-controlled company, said in an interview published Monday in El Tiempo newspaper.
