Frontera Energy says its Puerto Bahía LNG import project in Cartagena, Colombia, is 71% complete, with operations still targeted for February 2027. The company disclosed the progress in its 11 November results; commissioning has not been confirmed.
Quarterly work included jetty alterations, pipeline-connection civil works and mooring equipment. Estimated project expenditure remains US$80–100 million.
A take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol supports initial regasification of 126 million cubic feet a day, rising to 300 million after two years. Excelerate is expected to provide a floating storage and regasification unit. Frontera says another vessel from Excelerate’s fleet may serve initially instead of the previously contemplated Express.
Frontera also approved the second LPG phase and awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract for 29,500 tonnes of refrigerated storage, targeting operations in 2028. A separate 150–300MW gas-fired power proposal remains under evaluation, subject to approvals and commercial commitments.
