# Colombia energy and gas supply crisis > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/colombia-energy-and-gas-supply-crisis > Updated: 2026-11-04T14:57:06.000Z. Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Colombia is facing significant risks regarding its energy and gas supplies. In October 2026, the president of the Colombian Petroleum and Gas Association warned of a potential natural gas deficit of up to 10 percent, which could impact electricity generation, industry, and consumer tariffs. At that time, the country was importing approximately 40 percent of its gas consumption, facing rising international fuel prices. Additionally, hydraulic power generation faced pressure due to low water levels at the Mazar reservoir, and electricity exports to Ecuador were restricted to surplus thermal energy. By November 2026, industry leaders reported a decline in national sovereignty over natural gas, noting that production had dropped from 1,000 million cubic feet per day in 2015 to approximately 700 million cubic feet per day. The president of Campetrol warned that the country could also lose sovereignty in oil due to declining activity. Key indicators cited include a drop in oil production from one million to 731,000 barrels per day over eleven years, a reduction in active drilling rigs, and a significant decrease in exploration discoveries. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-04: Campetrol warns of potential loss of oil sovereignty in Colombia Campetrol warns that Colombia has lost gas sovereignty and risks losing oil sovereignty due to declining production, reduced foreign investment, and a lack of new exploration contracts. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/campetrol-warns-of-potential-loss-of-oil-sovereignty-in-colombia ### 2026-10-22: Colombia faces energy and gas supply risks Colombia faces potential gas shortages of up to 10% and critical water levels in reservoirs, limiting electricity exports to Ecuador to only surplus thermal energy. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/colombia-faces-energy-and-gas-supply-risks --- Cite as: Colombia energy and gas supply crisis.
