Colombia — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 600 energy assets in Colombia across 11 layers — the 15th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 285 oil & gas fields, 163 power plants and 61 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 18.5 GW, led by hydro at 63%. Refining capacity is about 415 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Ecopetrol (101), Cenit SAS (26) and Hocol (26), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Colombia's mapped assets in service predate 1989 (median commissioning year of the 220 with a known date), 26 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Infantas Oil and Gas Field (Santander, Colombia), dating from 1921. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Nencol 5 power station (2.2 GW).
