The preservation of the environment is one of the pillars in Ecopetrol’s operations. A sample of this harmonious coexistence between the industry and the environment may be found in the waters of La Guajira, underneath the Chuchupa I and II gas platforms. These structures, in addition to providing the greatest volume of gas that Colombians use, have served as a sanctuary for the development of over 300 fauna and flora marine species.

With high resolution underwater photographs in the platforms operated by ChevronTexaco in a joint operation with Ecopetrol, readers may become acquainted with the ecosystem that has been generated in one of the places with the greatest energy resources in the country, the Caribbean, thanks to a study undertaken by Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras (Institute of Marine and Coastal Research - Invemar).
