据能源世界网1月28日波哥大报道，哥伦比亚矿业和能源部长Diego Mesa周三表示，哥伦比亚计划在2021年签署15份石油勘探合同，并将该国今年的原油产量目标定为86.5万桶/天。
2020年，由于冠状病毒大流行期间需求下降、供应高、价格低，哥伦比亚的石油产量放缓，导致油田暂时关闭，并导致政府下调了产量预期。
根据最新数据显示，2020年1-11月，石油产量同比下降11.6%，至日均783291桶，而去年同期的日均产量为886180桶。
梅萨在一次虚拟新闻发布会上表示，2021年，我们将继续巩固油气行业的复苏，并补充道，哥伦比亚希望钻30至40口井，整个行业增长2%。
到目前为止，总统伊万·杜克(Ivan Duque)的政府已经签署了35份勘探和生产合同。2021年，政府将拍卖30-40个前景区，并希望完成50份合同。
据哥伦比亚矿业和能源部(Ministry of Mines and Energy)估计，这个位于安第斯山脉的国家去年的煤炭产量下降了逾30%，至5,410万吨左右。哥伦比亚是世界第五大煤炭出口国，希望在2021年将产量提高到6200万吨。
梅萨表示，为了巩固采矿业的多样化，将至少推动三个黄金和铜勘探区，该部门的30个项目到2024年可创造50亿美元的投资和7000个工作岗位。

Colombia aims to sign 15 oil exploration contracts in 2021
Colombia aims to sign 15 oil exploration contracts in 2021, Mines and Energy Minister Diego Mesa said Colombia's oil output slowed in 2020 amid declining demand, high supply and low prices during the coronavirus pandemic, which prompted temporary field shutdowns and caused the government to cut its production outlook.
Oil production from January to November in 2020 fell 11.6% to an average of 783,291 bpd, compared with the year-earlier period, when output averaged 886,180 bpd, according to the most recent available figures.
"In 2021, we're going to keep consolidating the reactivation of the hydrocarbon sector," Mesa told a virtual news conference, adding Colombia hoped for the drilling of 30 to 40 wells and 2% growth across the sector.
President Ivan Duque's administration has so far signed 35 exploration and production contracts. In 2021 - with an auction for between 30 and 40 prospective areas - the government hopes to reach 50 completed contracts.
The Andean country's coal output is estimated to have fallen more than 30% last year to about 54.1 million tonnes, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Colombia, the world's fifth-largest coal exporter, hopes to increase production to 62 million tonnes in 2021.
"At least three gold and copper exploration areas will be promoted with a view to consolidating diversification of the mining industry," said Mesa, adding that 30 projects in the sector could generate investments of $5 billion and 7,000 jobs by 2024.
