Colombia Gas Equipment Market Overview, 2031

Key Insights

• According to the research report, "Colombia Gas Equipment Market Outlook, 2031," published by Bonafide Research, the Colombia Gas Equipment Market is anticipated to add to more than USD 166.40 Million by 2026-31.
• Colombia's gas-equipment market is being driven by an urgent supply crisis rather than demand growth. National gas production fell to 1,151 million cubic feet per day in March 2026, the lowest level in the country's history, and declined 9.7% in the first quarter compared with the same period in 2025. The natural depletion of mature fields at Cusiana, Cupiagua, and Clarinete has been compounded by operational issues including equipment maintenance and increased water cuts. LNG imports now cover more than 30% of national consumption, a stark reversal for a country that was self-sufficient in gas just a few years ago.
• The SPEC LNG regasification terminal in Cartagena is undergoing a critical expansion to bridge the supply gap. Through Resolution 002149 of 11 August 2026, the national environmental licensing authority authorised a new 9.3-kilometre, 24-inch pipeline that will add 275 million cubic feet per day of transport capacity from the terminal to the national transmission system. The project includes a new compression station, regulation and measurement infrastructure, and an additional storage vessel, bringing total terminal capacity to 533 MPCD, equivalent to 50% of national demand.
• Colombia has 17 gas pipeline projects requiring combined capital expenditure exceeding US$3 billion. Fifteen are in design and feasibility stages, one is under environmental assessment, and one is in tender. The largest is Cenit's US$1 billion conversion of the 483-kilometre Oleoducto de Colombia crude pipeline to gas service, with construction scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2027 and operation targeted for 2030.
• Hydrogen policy has moved from strategy to implementation. The government approved CONPES 4210 in August 2026, establishing the first National Hydrogen Policy with targets through 2031, including installation of 1 to 2 GW of electrolysis capacity and annual production of 75,000 to 200,000 tonnes of low-emission hydrogen. Resolution 0900 of 2026 set the first national threshold for low-emission hydrogen at 3.6 kilograms of CO₂ equivalent per kilogram produced.

Market Outlook

• Pipeline reconfiguration will remain the largest equipment opportunity. TGI operates more than 4,000 kilometres of pipelines and 16 gas compression stations with combined capacity of 195,000 HP. The company is advancing the US$209 million Bogotá–Magdalena Medio line and a US$150 million pipeline associated with the Ballenas LNG regasification project. Promigas leads the US$65 million Vasconia–La Belleza bidirectional upgrade, which will enable at least 5.6 million cubic metres per day of flexible gas movements by 2030.
• LNG import infrastructure is creating a new equipment market. The Ballenas LNG project in northern La Guajira province, proposed by TGI at an estimated cost of US$150 million, would inject up to 250 million cubic feet per day into the national transmission system via the Ballena node. The project would utilise the existing Ballena–Barranca pipeline and connect to the Sistema Nacional de Transporte, requiring cryogenic equipment, vaporisers, and metering systems. A separate Pacific regasification plant in Buga, Valle del Cauca, is over 80% complete and scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2026.
• Hydrogen blending is advancing through regulatory study and technical assessment. Colombia's energy regulator CREG hosted a sector workshop in June 2026 and published two technical studies on the economics and engineering of hydrogen-natural gas blending in the Sistema Nacional de Transporte. A circular issued in 2026 presented a technical analysis associated with pipeline integrity to evaluate the percentages of hydrogen that could be permitted in H2-natural gas blends. These studies will inform future regulatory limits and equipment specifications for hydrogen-compatible infrastructure.

Policies & Regulatory Landscape

• The CREG issued Resolution 102 023 of 2026, enabling the conversion of hydrocarbon infrastructure to gas pipelines to strengthen national gas supply. The measure establishes conditions for remunerating associated investments, opening a new pathway for repurposing existing oil infrastructure. This regulatory change is directly linked to the Oleoducto de Colombia conversion project and could accelerate similar repurposing initiatives across the country.
• The National Hydrogen Policy, approved through CONPES 4210, establishes a comprehensive framework through 2031 with 59 public policy actions to be executed by 27 government entities. The policy aims to mobilise investments approaching US$1.6 billion and addresses barriers including infrastructure, financing access, regulatory framework, production cost reduction, and institutional strengthening. The Colombian Hydrogen Association has identified five priority areas: investment, demand creation, infrastructure, governance and regulatory framework, and regional and sectoral capacities.
• Gas metering regulation is being updated. The Superintendence of Industry and Commerce confirmed that the technical metrological regulation for gas meters entered into force on 19 June 2026. The regulation establishes new requirements for meter accuracy, calibration, and certification, replacing previous standards. The SIC clarified that the regulation does not mandate a mass meter replacement programme but sets requirements for meters placed on the market after the effective date, applying to new instruments, first-time installations, and technically justified replacements.
• Regulatory uncertainty around Venezuelan gas imports remains unresolved. Colombia's state oil company Ecopetrol lacks the licence from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control required to import natural gas from Venezuela. The two countries agreed on a roadmap in March 2026 to reactivate the binational Antonio Ricaurte pipeline, including replacement of a five-kilometre damaged section on the Colombian side. The pipeline has a capacity of 500 million cubic feet per day and was originally financed by Venezuela at a cost of US$230 million.

Gas Equipment Procurement & Industry Impact

• International equipment suppliers are securing significant contracts. A tender was released in September 2026 for supply of Kiene V-10 valves for Ariel JGT/4 gas compressors operating in the Cicuco field, reflecting continuing demand for replacement components in mature fields. The expansion of the SPEC LNG terminal requires a new compression station with regulation and measurement infrastructure, creating procurement opportunities for compressors, valves, meters, and control systems. The Pacific regasification plant in Buga will also require cryogenic equipment and metering systems as it approaches commissioning.
• Local service capability and technical qualification are important differentiators. TGI's pipeline system comprises more than 4,000 kilometres of pipelines and 16 compression stations, creating a substantial installed base requiring maintenance, calibration, and replacement. EPM has expanded its virtual gas pipeline with seven new compressed natural gas transport units to serve 121 towns in Antioquia department, addressing municipalities without access to the main transmission network. Suppliers with regional service networks and spare-parts availability have a competitive advantage in this decentralised market.
• Replacement demand is substantial across Colombia's mature gas infrastructure. The country operates an extensive transmission and distribution system serving millions of residential, commercial, and industrial users. Ecopetrol's declining production and the shift toward LNG imports are creating new requirements for metering, quality control, and pressure regulation at import points. The pipeline reconfiguration projects, including the Oleoducto de Colombia conversion and the Vasconia–La Belleza bidirectional upgrade, will require large-scale replacement of valves, regulators, and control systems as existing infrastructure is repurposed for new flow patterns.
• Biomethane and hydrogen projects require a different procurement model. Unlike centralised transmission projects, biomethane facilities are distributed across landfills, agricultural operations, and industrial sites. Veolia's investment plan targets biogas from sanitary landfills, while the Ubaté dairy farm project demonstrates the potential of agricultural waste. The CREG's technical studies on hydrogen blending will define equipment specifications for future pipeline conversion, creating first-mover advantages for suppliers that can qualify hydrogen-compatible valves, compressors, seals, and metering systems early in the regulatory development cycle.
