# Colombia Hydrocarbon Study Projects COP 695 Trillion Fiscal Revenue by 2025

A new study projects Colombia's hydrocarbon sector could generate up to COP 695 trillion in fiscal revenue between 2025 and 2025 under a high-supply scenario.

The Centro Regional de Estudios de Energía (CREE) and RGL Consultor EU presented a study titled 'Futuro de los hidrocarburos en Colombia: una mirada cuantitativa' to the Comité Intergremial de Petróleo y Gas. [^1]

The study projects that in the high-supply scenario, fiscal contributions from royalties, income tax, and Ecopetrol dividends could reach COP 695 trillion between 2025 and 2025. [^2]

A study by the Centro Regional de Estudios de Energía (CREE) and RGL Consultor EU projects that without reactivating domestic production, Colombia could import 65% of its gas demand by 2035 and 98% by 2045. [^3]

The 'Coexistence' (CE) scenario, associated with 'dynamic', estimates a fiscal contribution of $276 trillion through harmonious development of hydrocarbons and clean technologies. [^4]

The 'Loss of Self-Sufficiency' (PA) scenario, associated with 'withering', projects a fiscal contribution of $207 trillion due to accelerated production decline and dependence on expensive LNG imports. [^5]

The 'Slow Transition' (TL) scenario, associated with 'rebirth', projects a fiscal contribution of $695 trillion from 2025 to 2050 due to solid oil and gas production and weak global climate constraints. [^6]

The analysis indicates that current proven reserves become marginal toward the year 2035, with a production gap potentially reaching 915,000 barrels per day of oil and 2.834 million cubic feet per day of gas by 2040. [^7]

The study warns that if a loss of self-sufficiency scenario is adopted, gas imports could reach 65% of supply by 2035 and up to 98% by 2045. [^8]

Between 2015 and July 2026, Colombia's oil extraction decreased from 1,006,000 to 731,000 barrels per day, representing a 27.3% reduction. [^9]

During the same period, gas production fell from 1,030 to 702 million cubic feet per day (MPCD), a decrease of 31.8%. [^10]

Under a loss of self-sufficiency scenario, the study estimates that fiscal contributions from hydrocarbons between 2025 and 2050 could reach only $207 trillion in present value, compared to $695 trillion in a high-offer scenario. [^11]
