The oil and gas industry highlights the work of Felipe Bayón at the head of the Ecopetrol Group.

Following the announcement of Felipe Bayón's retirement as president of Ecopetrol, the Colombian Association of Oil and Gas (ACP), representing the hydrocarbon industry in the country, congratulates and thanks engineer Bayón for his outstanding work at the head of the company.

During the nearly six years that Bayón has been president of the company, he has managed to strengthen it and transform it in the face of energy challenges and the need to advance towards a responsible energy transition with the country, the company, and the industry.

“Felipe Bayón bet on preparing Ecopetrol for the future without renouncing oil and natural gas as the foundations of the company's solidity, credibility, and stability, and as a driver of economic, social, and environmental development for the country and the regions,” said Francisco José Lloreda Mera, president of the ACP.

He added that: “the Board of Directors of Ecopetrol has an enormous, historic responsibility in deciding its replacement, as the future of Ecopetrol depends on that of the oil and gas industry and, to a large extent, that of Colombia; its energy security, its macroeconomic and fiscal stability, and its sustainable development.”.
