Ecopetrol's CEO, Javier Gutierrez, stated: "In the first half of 2011 we had historically high financial and operating results. We made investments to maintain high rates of production growth, to keep improving our transportation infrastructure, to move forward with consolidation of our business group and to work on the modernization projects of our refineries. Moreover, we kept stable operations despite external factors, such as a harsh rain season.
"Company operations grew significantly. Ecopetrol's exports in the first half of 2011 grew by 36.8% when compared to the first half of 2010, driven by our commercial efforts and the expansion of our infrastructure. I would like to highlight that as an important step in the diversification of markets for our crudes, in June we loaded – in record time - the first tanker with two million barrels of crude headed for China.
"With regard to financial management I would highlight not only the excellent financial results for the first half of the year, but also that, as of June 28, 2011, we have received investment grade ratings from Standard & Poors, Fitch and Moody's."
