The USD41 million pipeline will be funded by:
- USD30.5 million from a group of private investors
- USD10.5 million from Canacol
Canacol’s contribution has been almost entirely satisfied by costs incurred to date.
Construction is proceeding on schedule, with first gas transportation expected in December 2017. All rights of way have been acquired, tubulars are on order and civil works are to commence during August 2017.
The Sabanas flowline will provide an additional 40mmcf/d export capacity and will satisfy 40mmcf/d take-or-pay contracts entered into in 2016 with existing and new customers. Canacol will pay a tariff for use of the pipeline in line with other regulated tariffs which will be borne by gas offtakers. Canacol does not have a ship-or-pay commitment for use of the pipeline.
With the additional 40mmcf/d production, Canacol’s production will increase to a 2017 exit rate of 130mmcf/d. The end of 2018 will see another big step change in production with an additional 100mmcf/d coming onstream with the completion of the additional Promigas Jobo-Bremen pipeline.
