As of the end of 2025, Ecopetrol Group´s proven reserves totaled 1,944 billion barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), representing a 2.7% increase compared to the reserves at the end of 2024.

Although the 2025 Brent reference price (USD 68.64/Bbl) decreased by 13.9% compared to the 2024 price (USD 79.69/Bbl)1, proven reserves contributions reached 300 mmboe and the reserves replacement ratio was 121%, demonstrating the Company’s effective management in line with its long–term sustainability and resilience strategy.
