Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, the company holds a portfolio of conventional and unconventional gas assets in Colombia’s key producing basins, with additional interests in Brazil.

The company’s core activities include the exploration, development and production of natural gas reserves, with integrated midstream and processing assets to support field operations. Canacol operates major gas processing plants such as the Jobo facility and maintains proprietary pipeline connections to local distribution networks. This infrastructure underpins long‐term supply contracts to industrial, power generation and residential customers in Colombia’s growing domestic gas market. In Brazil, the company holds exploration acreage with the objective of replicating its Colombian operational model.
Founded in 1998, Canacol Energy began trading publicly on the TSX Venture Exchange in 2006 and graduated to the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2008. Over the years, the company has completed a series of strategic acquisitions to build scale in Colombia, including the purchase of key block interests from international oil companies. These transactions have bolstered Canacol’s reserve base and expanded its drilling inventory, enabling the company to achieve sustained production milestones and improved cost efficiencies.
Canacol is led by President & Chief Executive Officer Alvaro Rengifo, who brings decades of Latin American upstream experience, and Chief Financial Officer Rick Cafuta, responsible for capital allocation and investor relations. Under their stewardship, the company emphasizes operational excellence, strict environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, and active engagement with local communities.
