Description: EC Ecopetrol December 19, 2025
Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE: EC) is Colombia’s largest integrated oil and gas company, operating across four business lines: Exploration & Production, Transport & Logistics, Refining & Petrochemicals, and Electric-Power Transmission & Toll-Road Concessions. The firm extracts crude and natural gas, moves these commodities through its pipeline network, refines them at the Barrancabermeja and Cartagena complexes, and also generates revenue from power-grid services and road-infrastructure contracts across Colombia and internationally.
Key performance indicators (as of FY 2023) include ≈ 850 kboe/d of net production, a refining capacity of ≈ 340 kbpd, and a consolidated revenue of ≈ US$ 15 billion. Ecopetrol’s earnings are highly sensitive to Brent crude price movements (≈ 30 % of net income exposure) and to Colombia’s fiscal regime, which imposes a 30 % corporate tax plus a 10 % “oil windfall” tax when prices exceed US$ 70 /bbl. The company’s logistics segment benefits from the country’s growing demand for diesel and jet fuel, while its power-transmission arm is positioned to capture incremental cash flow from Colombia’s 2024-2027 renewable-energy integration targets.
