We have applied list the notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, thus, this listing memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of the Luxembourg law dated July 16, 2019 on prospectuses for securities,
as amended. Currently, there is no public market for the notes.

Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 20 for a discussion of certain information that you should consider
before investing in the notes.
The notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The notes may not be
offered and sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except to qualified institutional buyers, or QIBs, in reliance on the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
You are hereby notified that sellers of the notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
See "Plan of Distribution" and "Transfer Restrictions" for a description of the restrictions regarding the purchase and transfer of the notes.
The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the EEA or the UK. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "IDD"), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in
the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK
may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. References to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the UK, those Regulations or Directives as they
form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK domestic law, as appropriate.
The notes will not be authorized by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) (the "SFC") and will not
be registered under the Colombian Registry of Securities and Issuers (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) or the Colombian Stock Exchange (Bolsa de
Valores de Colombia) and, accordingly, the notes will not be offered or sold to persons in Colombia except in circumstances which do not result in a public
offering under Colombian law and in compliance with Part 4 of Decree 2555 of 2010.

Price: 99.247% plus accrued interest, if any, from July 14, 2020.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Financial Statements
Our financial information contained in this listing memorandum is derived from our financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 which have been audited by Ernst & Young Audit
S.A.S. (the "audited financial statements") and our unaudited interim financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and
for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (the "unaudited financial statements"). All references in this
listing memorandum to "our financial statements" are to our audited and unaudited financial statements. We prepare
our annual audited financial statements in accordance with the Accounting and Financial Information Standards
Accepted in Colombia ("Colombian IFRS" or "Colombian Government Entity NCIF"). Colombian IFRS are based
on the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and its interpretations issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and other applicable legal provisions for entities supervised or controlled by
the National Accounting Office (Contaduría General de la Nación). The accounting policies applied in the
preparation of our financial statements differ in certain respects from IFRS as issued by the IASB. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Impact of Non-
Application of Certain Provisions of IAS 12 Income Tax."
EBITDA
This listing memorandum includes our earnings before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization, or
EBITDA, which we calculate as net profit plus depreciation and amortization, income tax and financial (income)
expenses, net. EBITDA is not a measure recognized under Colombian IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning
and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies either in Colombia or in other
jurisdictions. In addition, we have not calculated EBITDA in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission on presentation of non-IFRS financial measures. We disclose EBITDA
because we use it as a measure of our operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for net profit or loss or as an indicator of operating performance or cash flow or as a measure of liquidity
or our ability to service debt obligations.
Currency Information
In this listing memorandum, references to "Ps$," "Colombian peso" or "Colombian pesos" are to
Colombian pesos and references to "U.S.$" or "U.S. dollars" are to United States Dollars, the functional currency
under which we prepare our financial statements.
In this listing memorandum we have converted certain Colombian peso amounts into U.S. dollars at
specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise indicated and other than information
derived from our financial statements prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with Colombian IFRS, peso amounts
have been converted at the rate of Ps$4,064.81 per U.S.$1.00, which corresponds to the representative market
exchange rate as of March 31, 2020, the last business day of the period reported in the unaudited financial
statements. The representative market exchange rate is computed and certified by the SFC, the Colombian banking
and securities regulator, on a daily basis and represents the weighted average of the buy and sell foreign exchange
rates negotiated on the previous day by certain financial institutions authorized to engage in foreign exchange
transactions. The SFC also calculates the representative market exchange rate for each month for purposes of
preparing financial statements and converting amounts in foreign currency to Colombian pesos. Such conversion
should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts correspond to, or have been or could be converted
into, U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate. On March 31, 2020, the representative market rate was Ps$4,064.81
per U.S.$1.00.
Industry and Market Data
The information in this listing memorandum also includes statistical data regarding the Colombian crude
oil and gas industry, including crude oil transportation logistics. We generated some of this data internally and we
obtained some data from independent industry and governmental publications and reports that we believe to be

vi

reliable sources, including, among others identified herein, the National Hydrocarbon Agency (Agencia Nacional de
Hidrocarburos) (the "ANH"), the Ministry of Mines and Energy (Ministerio de Minas y Energía) (the "MME"), the
BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019, or the 2019 BP Statistical Review, Argus Media price information and
Wood Mackenzie Colombia Country Overview. We have not independently verified the data obtained from external
sources nor sought the consent of any organizations, other than Wood Mackenzie Inc., to refer to their reports in this
listing memorandum. We have not participated in the preparation or compilation of any of such information.
Rounding
Certain figures included in this listing memorandum and in our financial statements have been rounded for
ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this listing memorandum have not in all cases been calculated
on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage
amounts in this listing memorandum may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the
figures in our financial statements. Certain numerical figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an
arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them due to rounding.
