Colombia's National Gas Supply Under Strain Due to Terminal Failure
What happened
A fault occurred at the SPEC LNG terminal in Cartagena, which processes imported liquefied gas for Colombia. The terminal, a floating storage and regasification unit, experienced an unforeseen operating condition in one of its four processing trains and required corrective work. Capacity at the facility dropped from 475 million cubic feet a day to 400 million cubic feet a day, representing a 15.7 percent reduction.

Why it matters
The incident highlights the vulnerability of Colombia's energy infrastructure, as the country relies on imports for about 30 percent of its consumed gas. Since almost all imported gas passes through this single terminal, the national supply chain is currently lacking adequate backup capacity.
