Colombia to import four crude cargoes in April for Cartagena refinery
Colombia's state-run Ecopetrol will significantly increase crude imports in April to some 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) with four cargoes that are heading to its Cartagena refinery, according to Thomson Reuters Trade Flows data.
Latin America's fourth largest oil producer, Colombia started regular crude imports last year trying to configure a better slate for its Cartagena refinery, which was modernized and expanded to process up to 165,000 barrels per day (bpd).
In 2015 it received Nigeria's Bonny Light crude and Artic's Arco blend shipped from Norway.
Since then, it has been mostly buying spot cargoes of Latin American crudes, including Mexican and Brazilian grades.[/font]

Someone who posted news about Venezuela importing oil in the last year somehow forgot to mention Colombia has been importing oil, as well.
