BOGOTA,
Colombia, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol
S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) informs that, in compliance with
the ruling issued by the Fourth Labor Court of the Santa Marta
Circuit, the names "Uchuva" and "Tayrona" will no longer be used to
refer to its offshore exploration projects in the Colombian
Caribbean, nor any project in which the Company is involved. This
mention of the former names is made only once to comply with the
court's order.
In collaboration with Petrobras, Ecopetrol's partner in these
projects, it has been agreed that the first project will now be
referred to as SIRIUS, and the second as GUA-OFF-0.
Going forward, any previous mentions of the old names by
Ecopetrol in the Securities Market Information System (SIMEV) and
in the Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (EDGAR) in
the SEC will be understood to refer to the SIRIUS and GUA-OFF-0
projects in their respective contexts.
