(Santander Department) to teach the children of the North American workers hired
by the Tropical Oil Co. Originally known as Staff Ecopetro, the institute was
renamed Colegio Directivo de Ecopetrol in 1959. The today's name of the
institute should have been adopted in a public contest organized in 1967;
however, the unexpected death of the noted teacher Luis López de Mesa caused the
cancellation of the contest and the naming of the institute for him.
Ecopetrol transferred in 2013 the management of the institute to the Aspaen
(Asociación para la Enseñanza) association, established on 1 September 1964,
grouping now 25 institutes in eight Colombian towns under the spiritual
influence, some say control, of Opus Dei.

yellow stripe between each field, and the emblem of the institute in the middle.
Blue is a symbol of the local resources and progress opportunities, and of
creativity. White is a symbol of aspiration to peace and liberty, of
transparency and purity. Yellow is a symbol of the vitality of the soil and of
the people.
