Colombia's President Gustavo Petro will name Omar Andres Camacho as the country's new minister of mines and energy, following the resignation of former minister Irene Velez last week, a source in the president's office and local media said on Monday.

Camacho will face the challenge of realizing Petro's goal of weaning Colombia off of oil production and exports, a major source of income for the country, and acrimony between the administration and the industry.

Camacho had previously been speculated upon as the next in line to take over the National Hydrocarbon Agency.after two state agencies opened investigations against her, connected to allegations that she committed a crime of influence peddling. She has said she will respond to the authorities as needed.

Majority state-owned Ecopetrol produces the lion's share of Colombia's oil and is the country's biggest company.
