Analysis · EC · Energy & Transportation
A standout quarter saw net income more than triple year-over-year to COP 6.1 trillion, fueled by historic refining results. The downstream segment captured a gross margin of USD 29.80 per barrel on record throughput of 439,000 barrels per day, while higher Brent prices lifted upstream realizations. Although production slipped 6.6% due to external disruptions and Permian declines, the integrated model more than compensated. The balance sheet strengthened further, with leverage falling to 2.0x and a COP 11.3 trillion cash pile, supporting the dividend and growth investments.
