  2. Agenda • Colombia: a new business environment • Perspectives on new reserves • Oil & Gas opportunities in Colombia • 2007 Caribbean bidding round • Heavy oil selection process

  3. I. Colombia: a new business environment

  4. Production and reserves recover 1. Reserves and production Reserves (million barrels) Average Production (million barrels per day Estimado Preliminar - ANH ANH - Preliminary estimate Source: Ecopetrol, ANH Crude Reserves Crude Production

  5. To encourage investment in exploration and production: The ANH promotes exploration investment… • Attractive fiscal terms • Geological studies in frontier areas • Bid rounds …while Ecopetrol plays an effective operating role • Direct exploration • Improving recovery in mature fields • Development of heavy crudes • Internationalisation

  6. Industry perceptions show strengths Prospectivity 5 4 3 Personal safety Fiscal terms 2 1 0 Legal security Political stability Expected Colombia Macroeconomic stability Source: Arthur D. Little, 2005

  7. II. Perspectives on new reserves

  8. Under alternative crude production scenarios, self-sufficiency would extend until… Crude production scenarios (000b/d) 1.000 Abundance 900 800 700 Base - crude 600 500 Base - gas 400 Current Reserves 300 Scarcity Demand 200 (Pre-2007) 100 2014 2019 2011 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2015 2016 2017 2018 2020 Source: Arthur D.
