To guarantee the firm supply of natural gas from the north to the center of the country, the Nation is already thinking of setting up a third supply line in the short term.
(See: Barranquilla opens four service points that will supply LPG).
It is the Jobo-Antioquia gas pipeline, a tube that connects the collection point for the supply of fuel in the department of Córdoba with the point of Sebastopol, from there to take it to the interior of the national territory.
(See: In October crude oil production fell and natural gas rose).
The first interested party and promoter of the initiative is Promigas, a natural gas transport company, which on its twitter account raises the proposal “to strategically connect the fields of the Lower Magdalena Valley (VIM) with the interior markets to provide reliability and supply to the country”.
The reason why this natural gas transporter makes the proposal is that the gas reserves of the Ballena, Cusiana and Cupiagua fields are in decline, and all future fuel remnants are located in a strip that goes from Córdoba to Cesar, so you have to take this fuel to the center of the country where 62% of the demand is.
(See: Ballena, the next regasification port in the Caribbean?).
For Promigas, the more connections there are, the more guarantee and reliability. in gas supply to meet the growing demand throughout the country.
Likewise, the transporter makes it clear that the gas pipeline they propose will be a complementary infrastructure to other similar projects (Jobo-Medellín-Mariquita-Bogotá tube), and whose purpose is the same, which is to guarantee the continuous supply of fuel from the north to the center of the country.
The assembly of the gas pipeline goes from Jobo to the Transmetano terminal of Promigas in Antioquia, and from that point it connects with Sebastopol, which is the gas collection center that arrives from the east of Cusiana and Cupiagua. The investment is US $ 400 million and it will be developed with the Open Season scheme, which allows reaching agreements between agents (production, demand and transport).
(See: Bogotá would have a tax on vehicular natural gas).
