The company's financial performance was also bolstered by robust oil demand, which surpassed the comparable period in 2022. Ecopetrol's financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The company also files financial information with the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, which is not directly comparable to its IFRS-IASB reported figures. Ecopetrol's Board of Directors approved maintaining investment levels for 2024, focusing on energy security and the country's energy transition. The company's 2040 Strategy, 'Energy that Transforms,' has been adjusted to maximize gas potential in the Colombian Caribbean offshore and to optimize internal energy consumption. The company's investment plan for 2024 includes significant allocations to unconventional renewable energy projects, natural gas, and infrastructure, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions and advancing green hydrogen projects. Ecopetrol's financial plan for 2024 aims to secure competitive returns with an EBITDA margin close to 38%. Other developments include an arbitration award in favor of Reficar S.A.S. and the initiation of financial restructuring proceedings by McDermott International, the parent company of CB&I, following an adverse ruling in an international arbitration tribunal.
