Q7 — Felipe Bayon Pardo & Jaime Caballero Uribe
Topic: Venezuela market impact on Colombian crude differentials and potential opportunities
Key points:
Vasconia differentials widened from $3–$4 (mid-2025) to $7–$8 currently, influenced by ~1 million new barrels/day from Venezuela entering the U.S. Gulf Coast market.
The widening is also due to seasonal low refinery demand in Q1 (maintenance, lower runs); management expects stabilization by summer when demand increases.
Colombian crudes (Llanos 34, CPO-5) have better quality (less sulfur) than Venezuelan supply; CPO-5 volumes (~6,000 bbl/d) are sold FOB at Covenas, tied to Brent rather than Vasconia, mitigating the differential impact.
Venezuela is opening up, with inbound interest for operating capabilities to restart/improve production; the company is actively evaluating opportunities.
Mgmt stance: Cautiously optimistic — temporary headwinds from differentials expected to stabilize, while Venezuela presents potential growth optionality given the company’s track record as a prudent operator.
