What's Happening?
Ecopetrol has published its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a net income of COP 1.8 trillion, a significant decrease from COP 3.4 trillion in the same period last year. The company's revenues totaled COP 29.7 trillion, with an EBITDA of COP 11.1 trillion and an EBITDA margin of 37.5%. The decline in net income is attributed to lower Brent crude prices, geopolitical tensions, and external market conditions. Despite these challenges, Ecopetrol maintained a solid operating performance, supported by market diversification and cost optimization strategies. The company achieved a production of 751 mboed, driven by strong performance in Colombian fields and the Permian Basin in the U.S. Ecopetrol also advanced its energy transition initiatives, including the acquisition of the Windpeshi wind project in La Guajira.
