Then on September 26, 1989, under "Ley No. 45" (English: Law No. 45), the "Empresa Estatal Petróleos del Ecuador (Petroecuador)" (English: State Petroleum Company of Ecuador) was created encompassing all operations of the CEPE-Texaco consortium, the Anglo and Repetrol refineries and the "Sistema de Oleoducto Transecuatoriano" (English: Trans-Ecuadorian Pipeline System).

Flag

The flag has always followed the same pattern: white horizontal background featuring the respective logo in the middle. However, even though there is one definite version (the latest, adopted in 2022) the other flags may seem to be in use still, since the changes have occured in a rather short period of time.
