Colombia’s state-run oil company Ecopetrol said Wednesday that it will begin fracking operations in the United States.

Ecopetrol’s fracking operation will be carried out in a joint venture with US oil company Occidental Petroleum in Midland, a major oil region in the Permian Basin between Fort Worth and El Paso in Texas.

The fracking operation is Ecopetrol’s first and “in line with our new strategy,” Ecopetrol CEO Felipe Bayon told press.

. . .

Ecopetrol has been looking for oil exploration outside of Colombia and has expressed its desire to begin fracking as Colombia’s proven oil reserves in Colombia are running low.
