Colombia's LNG imports surge to record high share of natural gas supply
Current overview (not historical)
Colombia's LNG imports accounted for a record 31% of monthly natural gas supply in July 2026, up from a declining domestic production that averaged 673 MMcf/d between January and August 2026. According to EIA Today in Energy, domestic output fell 39% from 2022 levels to 772 MMcf/d in 2025, and continued dropping to 673 MMcf/d in the first eight months of 2026, forcing the country to rely increasingly on imported LNG to meet supply needs.

Report first recorded Oct 29, 21:27
Colombia's domestic natural gas production fell from 1,070 MMcf/d in 2022 to 673 MMcf/d in January-August 2026. LNG imports accounted for a record 31% of the country's monthly natural gas supply in July 2026, driven by declining output from mature fields and drought concerns linked to El Niño. The country relies on a single LNG import terminal near Cartagena, with expansion and new projects underway.
