“In the second quarter of 2023, the refining segment presented a historical record of 428,000 barrels per day (bpd) by registering an increase of 17.1% in the load to refineries compared to the same period of 2022 (62,500 more bopd) and an increase of 3.8% compared to the first quarter of 2023 (15,700 bopd more). Specifically, the Cartagena Refinery (Reficar) reported a load increase of 47.5% (67,000 more bopd) compared to the second quarter of 2022, and 10.6% (20,000 more bopd) compared to the first quarter of 2023″, Campetrol indicated.
“From Campetrol we reiterate the importance of oil, gas and energy in the generation of well-being, economic development, productive chains, local labor, energy sovereignty and macroeconomic stability of the country. Although in July the downward trend from month to month in 2023 in the number of active drills stopped, the level of equipment is still worrying, since it is below what was registered in 2022,” said Campetrol’s executive president, Nelson Castañeda. .
