Canacol has announced that the Sabanas gas flowline is now connected. It is in the final stage of testing and gas transportation is scheduled to commence on 5th December. The flowline has a capacity of 40mmcf/d which is expected to be reached in mid-January following completion of a second compression station - initial gas throughout is expected to be 20mmcfd. Gas will be routed from the Jobo processing facility to the Promigas export line at Bremen with the gas to be sold to consumers at Cartagena. Upon reaching the full 40mmcf/d capacity, Canacol's total gas offtake capacity will increase to 130mmcf/d.
Canacol also added that gas sales for October and November averaged 84.1mmcf/d and oil sales (including Ecuador) of 3,025 bbl/d. In December 2018, the company expects gas production capacity to increase to 230mmcf/d following the completion of the second expansion of the Promigas pipeline from Jobo to Cartagena and Barranquilla.
