President Gustavo Petro demanded the resignation of Ecopetrol's vice president for the Andean region, Bernardo Forero Duarte, amid investigations into illicit enrichment. This request occurs alongside changes in the company's board of directors and the CNE's sanction on the 2022 presidential campaign, which impacts current Ecopetrol president Ricardo Roa. Petro also distanced himself from the USO's stance on the Permian basin business.
During its third-quarter 2025 earnings call, Ecopetrol reported a 29.8% drop in profits and addressed concerns over a top executive's potential inclusion in the Clinton List. The company highlighted its robust compliance system and mitigation plans for sanction risks. Growth in Permian well production offset the overall decline.
