YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Rebuilding the reserve base amid policy uncertainty
- At year-end 2023, Colombia held 7.2 years of proven oil reserves and 6.1 years of gas reserves, while no new exploration contracts have been awarded since 2023.
- YCP combines basin economics, portfolio screening and policy scenarios to prioritize resilient prospects and build investment cases suited to regulatory uncertainty.
Securing gas supply in a tightening domestic market
- Mature-field declines are tightening gas availability: proven reserves covered only 6.1 years of production at year-end 2023, increasing import and price exposure.
- YCP links demand forecasts, supply alternatives and midstream economics to help clients define gas strategies, infrastructure priorities and partnership models.
Keeping assets reliable across complex operating areas
- Colombia’s pipeline network extends more than 8,000 km through remote areas, where illegal tapping, sabotage and community blockades can interrupt flows and access.
- YCP integrates operational-risk mapping, stakeholder engagement and response planning to strengthen asset resilience while protecting production continuity.
Decarbonizing operations while protecting value
- Colombia targets a 51% reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030, raising expectations for methane control, electrification and lower-carbon operations.
- YCP translates emissions goals into practical abatement roadmaps, prioritizing initiatives by cost, operational feasibility, regulatory fit and value creation.
