据烃加工新闻2月3日消息称，哥伦比亚矿业和能源部长Maria Fernanda Suarez表示，受已开发油井增加的推动，哥伦比亚2019年日均石油产量增长2.4%，至885851桶。

这位部长说，2018年平均每日原油产量为865127桶，显示这个安第斯国家的生产井数量从上年的725口增加了6.6%，达到773口。发展能源产业是哥伦比亚的首要任务。去年，它与石油公司签订了31份合同，国家碳氢化合物机构负责人Luis Miguel Morelli表示，这将给石油行业带来根本性的变化。

这个国家有大约6年的石油储备，政府希望增加到10年。

Suarez在新闻发布会上说：“我们每天生产2万多桶石油，这带来了更多的就业机会、更多的特许权使用费和更多的税收，以缩小社会差距。”他补充道，2019年哥伦比亚的能源行业正在复苏。

政府预计，到2020年，原油日均产量将升至89万桶至90万桶之间。

哥伦比亚是拉丁美洲第四大原油生产国，已探明储量近20亿桶，希望通过新发现和现有油田的更好开采来提高产量。

这位部长说，去年签订的合同将在未来几年为该国带来价值约27亿美元的投资。

Suarez还表示，2019年天然气日均产量从去年的9.77亿立方英尺增长到10.7亿立方英尺，增幅9.4%。

哥伦比亚矿业部副部长Carolina Rojas表示，2019年的煤炭产量预计将达到8020万吨，较2018年的8570万吨减少6.4%。

Rojas称，2020年煤炭产量将在8200万吨左右，而2030年之前产量将保持稳定。

Colombia oil output rose 2.4% in 2019

Average daily oil production in Colombia rose 2.4% to 885,851 barrels a day in 2019, pushed higher by an increase in developed wells, Mining and Energy Minister Maria Fernanda Suarez said.

Average daily crude production in 2018 was 865,127 barrels a day, the minister said, revealing that the number of producing wells in the Andean country rose 6.6% to 773, from 725 in the prior year. Boosting its energy industry is a priority for Colombia. Last year it awarded 31 contracts to oil companies, which Luis Miguel Morelli, head of the national hydrocarbons agency, said would bring radical change to the sector.

The country has around six years of oil reserves, which the government wants to see increase to 10 years.

“We produced more than 20,000 extra barrels of oil a day, which leads to more jobs, more royalties and more taxes to close the gaps in society,” Suarez said at a news conference, adding that 2019 saw a revival of Colombia’s energy sector.

The government expects crude production to rise to between an average of 890,000 and 900,000 barrels of oil a day in 2020.

Colombia is Latin America’s fourth largest crude producer, with proven reserves of almost 2 billion barrels of oil, which it hopes to raise via new discoveries and better extraction in existing fields.

The contracts awarded last year will bring some $2.7 billion worth of investments to the country in the coming years, the minister said.

Suarez also said gas production rose 9.4% to an average of 1.07 billion cubic feet a day in 2019 from 977 million cubic feet a day the previous year.

Coal production in 2019 is estimated to have hit 80.2 million tonnes, Vice Minister of Mines Carolina Rojas said, which would equate to a 6.4% decrease from the 85.7 million tonnes Colombia produced in 2018.

Rojas said coal production in 2020 will be around 82 million tonnes, while output is expected to remain stable until 2030.
