“If we are able to optimize the prior consultations that we may finish this year and obtain the environmental license in the middle of next year, that gives us a final horizon to have everything for the gas line toward the end of 2028 or 2029, and begin production,” Velandia said, referencing the Tayrona block, operated by Petrobras.
Some 13 million cubic meters per day of gas output from the project will be supplied to Colombia via the pipeline, Petrobras’ head of exploration and production, Sylvia dos Anjos, said earlier this week.
