Alejandro Giraldo
Management
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Ecopetrol's second quarter earnings conference call and webcast. Before we begin, it is important to mention that the comments by Ecopetrol's senior management could include projections on the company's future performance. These projections do not constitute any commitment as to future results, nor do they take into account risks or uncertainties that could develop. As a result, Ecopetrol assumes no responsibility in the event that future results are different from the projections on the conference call. The call will be led by Mr. Javier Gutierrez, CEO of Ecopetrol. Also participating will be Hector Manosalva, Vice President of Development and Production; Pedro Rosales, Vice President of Downstream; Adriana Echeverri, Vice President of Growth and Strategy; Magda Manosalva, CFO; Rafael Guzman, E&P Technical and Development Vice President; Humberto Fuenzalida, Interim Vice President of Exploration; Alberto Vargas, Financial Controller; and Thomas Rueda, interim CEO of Cenit. We will begin the presentation with the milestones of the second quarter of 2014, followed by the highlights by business segments, the financial results and the new structure of Ecopetrol. We will close with the outlook for the third quarter of 2014. I will now turn the call to Mr. Gutierrez, CEO of Ecopetrol
