Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE:EC) is among the largest companies in Colombia and one of the leading integrated energy groups on the American continent, with more than 19,000 employees.

Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE:EC) fell short on profit expectations in its Q3 results announced on November 13, with the company’s net profit falling by 30% YoY on the back of weaker sales volumes and lower crude prices.

Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE:EC)’s total production volume in the quarter dipped by 0.4% YoY to 751 mboed, but still came in near the top of its annual guidance range, driven by key fields in Colombia such as Caño Sur, CPO-09, as well as the Permian in the United States. However, local sales volumes declined by 2.9% YoY, while international sales volumes were down 12.8% compared to last year, primarily due to higher throughput at the refineries and variation in logistics chain inventories.

Global crude oil prices hovering around a one-month low have also put pressure on Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE:EC), as a potential peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine conflict could ease restrictions on Russian oil and add to the supply glut.
