Aircraft fuel Available
Terpel S.A.
Terpel S.A. operates the aviation fuel service station (EDS Terpel Aviación El Alcaraván) at El Alcaraván airport, Yopal, Casanare — confirmed as a named, airport-specific station in Terpel's aviation-fuel network. A new dedicated fuel-station building was constructed at the field to support into-plane refuelling; the building's contractor was Aviacom S.A.S. (construction only, not a fuel supplier — corrected from earlier draft that listed it as co-provider). Into-plane agent not separately confirmed — likely Terpel-operated. A phone number found (national PBX •••) is Terpel's corporate line, not confirmed station-specific, so contact left unconfirmed.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Policía Nacional de Colombia – Policía Aeroportuaria
Airport Police (Policía Aeroportuaria) is documented among El Alcaraván's essential services alongside SEI fire/rescue and SAR in Aerocivil airport-services listings. However, 2025 Casanare-police reporting (Col. Pablo Galindo, Casanare police commander, responding to public concern) states the Policía–Aerocivil security agreement lapsed early in the year and the permanent Airport Police unit was withdrawn from El Alcaraván without prior notice; security has since been reduced to a single police patrol plus private security personnel. Status downgraded from \"available\" to \"unconfirmed\" to reflect this — current in-airport security-provider identity as of 2026 is not confirmed. No separate cargo regulated-agent documented.

Helistar S.A.S.
Helicopter operator with its own hangar at El Alcaraván (built to house MI-17 and Bell 412 helicopters), administrative building, apron/parking and taxiway infrastructure, supporting Casanare oil-industry helicopter transport — Helistar has held an Ecopetrol helicopter-transport contract since 2011 (renewed alongside Helicol) and describes itself as functioning in an FBO/handler role at El Yopal (pilot services, aircraft services, fuel). This FBO-style description is drawn from general company positioning rather than a published third-party tariff, so status is kept on_request pending confirmation it services aircraft beyond its own/contracted fleet. ~24 years operating in Colombia; fleet includes multiple Leonardo AW139s.
