Hydrocarbons

During the last century, oil was the energy

engine that drove the world economy.

There is therefore a high level of dependence

on this resource, creating an intense demand for a

finite good that is increasingly difficult to acquire.

In response to this high demand, oil-producing

countries have worked to increase their capacity

and seek new reserves to meet their fossil fuel

needs.

Colombia fits this profile as an oil-producing

country with strong growth trends and an outlook

that attracts investors from around the world.

Oil Sales by Type

In the world of oil trading, there are two major oil price benchmarks, WTI and Brent, which define the value

of a barrel of oil based on market estimates. One barrel of oil is currently valued in the USD 100 range.

West Texas Intermediate is a sales average for oil

produced in the West Texas oilfields.

This benchmark serves as a point of reference for

oil-producing countries in the Americas (including

Colombia), as well as some Asian Pacific markets.

The Brent benchmark is a sales average of crude oil

sourced from the North Sea. This is a light crude oil,

although not as light as WTI oil. This type of oil has some

of the lowest calorific values.

Oil production in Europe, Africa and the Middle East

tends to be sold according to Brent crude oil barrel price.

Global Hydrocarbon Market Expectations

Population growth and income growth are the two most

powerful factors driving energy demand.

Global integration processes are expected to continue

in the next 20 years, with rapid growth among low-income,

developing economies.

The world's population has grown by 1.6 billion people

in the last 20 years; it is expected to grow by another 1.4

billion in the next 20 years.

The fundamental relationship between energy and the

economy will become even stronger. People with higher

incomes will spur production and consumption will

continue to increase.

Colombia's Oil Rush

Oil production has increased 69% from 551,000

bpd in 2004 to 929,000 bpd in July 2011, nearly

reaching the goal of one million bpd set by the

Colombian government.

Exploratory activity is robust. More than 570

wells are expected to be drilled in 2014, most

in Vichada and the open sea.

In 2003, only 4.8% of exploratory wells were

successful. Today, that figure has exceeded

30%.

The price of oil has created an incentive for

growing and developing this industry around the

world and specifically in Colombia.

Ecopetrol: State Oil Company

Ecopetrol S.A. is the largest company in Colombia and the

leading oil company in the country. It controls almost 80% of

the market. Ecopetrol S.A. is among the 39 largest oil

companies in the world and within the top five in Latin

America.

The company's assets include hydrocarbon extraction

fields in the center, south, east and north of Colombia, two

refineries, ports for importing and exporting fuel and crude on

both coasts, and a transportation network of 8,500 kilometers

of pipelines throughout the country connecting production

systems with large consumption centers and maritime

terminals.

Ecopetrol S.A. is a leader in Colombia and an essential

partner for exploring and producing hydrocarbons.

Ecopetrol estimates that Colombia could have up to 47 billion barrels of oil in reserves. More than 80% of Colombia's territory has not been explored.

Colombia is now the third largest oil producer in Latin America. The country's production increased 69% between 2004 and July 2011, when 929,000 bpd

were produced.

Ecopetrol is increasing its hydrocarbon refining capacity at plants in Barrancabermeja and Cartagena. Talks are also under way to build

petrochemical plants.

In light of growing hydrocarbon production in Colombia, there is a large demand for both land and pipeline transportation services. Current capacity is

insufficient to meet this demand.

Colombia provides investors a stable, predictable business environment and a solid legal system. Colombian law gives local and foreign investors equal

rights.

Colombia has it all!

On the international level, this sector generated

USD 177.6 billion in 2009. Platform construction

and drilling equipment were the most lucrative

sectors, representing USD 55 billion.

According to forecasts by Datamonitor, this

market will be slowing down at an average annual

rate of 4.1% through 2014.

A directly proportional relationship can be

observed between oil prices and investment flows

along the hydrocarbon value chain. Planning for

the entire sector is based on the behavior of barrel

market prices.

Opportunities in the Colombian Oil Goods and

Services Sector

The oil sector is Colombia is going strong. There are

opportunities in the Oil Goods and Services sector for

growth and improvements on an international scale.

Growth is projected in terms of the number of wells

explored- 570 by 2014- and extraction- to nearly one

million barrels of oil per day (2012).

The Cartagena Refinery will enter operation in 2013

with a capacity of 165,000 BDP. The demand for goods

and services at this facility as well as the Barrancabermeja

Refinery will increase.

Various investment opportunities exist in producing

high-performing, high-quality goods and developing high-

tech oil services.

A regional goods and services exportation platform can

be established for meeting the needs of the Venezuelan,

Peruvian and Ecuadorean markets.

A few reasons to make the decision to invest:

Unexplored potential to be discovered in addition to the more than one million

barrels of oil stored in proven reserves.

Colombia offers investors a stable business environment and a solid legal system.

Colombia has an excellent geographic location with coasts along the Pacific and

Atlantic Oceans to cover all of the world's markets.

Colombia encourages and facilitates private investment in gas and oil sectors,

which involve a large number of oil goods and services associated with the

hydrocarbon production chain.

The country's successful 80-year history in the hydrocarbon industry is its strongest

endorsement for investment.

This is a great time to invest in oil goods and services in Colombia!

Pursuant to Article 189 of the Tax Code, for the purposes of calculating taxable bases

and determining presumed income, net equity from goods directly related to companies

whose business activity is mining can be subtracted from the previous year's total liquid

assets.

According to Paragraph E of Article 428 of the Tax Code, the temporary importation of

heavy machinery for the mining and hydrocarbon industries does not result in sales tax

(VAT) as long as said machinery is not produced in Colombia.

Article 476 of the Tax Code provides a sales tax (VAT) exemption for hydrocarbon

transport.

The special exchange control system applies only to subsidiaries of foreign companies

from the hydrocarbon and mining sectors that perform exploration, exploitation or service

activities for the hydrocarbon sector. Said mining activity is related exclusively to coal, iron-

nickel and uranium exploration and extraction.

Under this system, the subsidiaries are not required to reintegrate currency derived from

sales into foreign currency or exports on the exchange market. Instead, they can choose
