Autonomous system
AS8026 EMPRESA COLOMBIANA DE PETROLEOS, ECOPETROL
Unclassified LACNIC
Summary
Ecopetrol
enterprise energy legacy
The Autonomous System of Ecopetrol (Empresa Colombiana de Petróleos), Colombia's majority state-owned oil and gas company. It is a corporate network, not a service provider.
What it's used for
- Ecopetrol's own corporate and industrial IT: the company's internet edge and the systems its División de Informática runs behind it.
Notable
- Very small and very closed: three announced prefixes out of
200.4.16.0/20(~4k addresses), a single observed BGP neighbour, and no reverse DNS published on any of it. An enterprise edge with one transit provider looks exactly like this. - The address block is registered in LACNIC directly to Ecopetrol, División de Informática, in Colombia. Addresses here belong to the company itself — offices, refineries, corporate systems — and are neither hosting nor subscriber space.
- The ASN dates from 1996 (originally an ARIN-era registration, later administered by LACNIC when the region got its own registry). Large national industrial firms took AS numbers early, well before most companies did.
Interesting
- Ecopetrol is a state-controlled company rather than a government department, so this reads as enterprise, not government — a distinction worth keeping when a national oil company appears in routing data.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
