A rapidly evolving gas market

The Colombian natural gas market is experiencing strong momentum, with growing demand and a need for investments to develop production and transportation infrastructure. Maurel & Prom’s entry into the Sinu-9 project aligns with this trend, aiming to optimize resource exploitation and maximize production capacity.
