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.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Thursday, September 3, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world3 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.

AI · semantic search
The facts this piece stands on were selected by semantic search over the record: AI embeddings match each section's query to fact rows by meaning, not keywords.
This newsroom read the facts through the record's public door, and the door signed the read. The read receipt was not captured for this early revision.
