Colombia Seeks to Revive Pipeline to Import Gas From Venezuela

Colombia is taking steps that could allow it to begin importing natural gas from Venezuela, Energy Minister Edwin Palma said.

Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA will repair about 5 kilometers of the Antonio Ricaurte pipeline on the Colombian side of the border, Palma said Wednesday in a post on X after meeting officials from PDVSA’s local unit. In the meantime Colombia will work to secure the permits needed for the repairs to take place, he added.
