PRO FORMA 2P RESERVE LIFE INDEX INCREASED
44% TO 13.1 YEARS
2P VALUE PER SHARE (NET DEBT-ADJUSTED) OF
$27.8
GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPRK), a
leading independent energy company with over 20 years of successful
operations across Latin America, today announced its independent
oil and gas reserves assessment1, certified by D&M under PRMS
methodology, as of December 31, 2024.
The Company’s 2024 year-end reserves, related net present
values, and other information included in this press release
incorporate pro forma figures reflecting the acquisition of four
unconventional hydrocarbon blocks in Vaca Muerta, Argentina. This
acquisition became effective on July 1, 2024, and is undergoing
customary regulatory approvals from the respective provincial
governments.
2024 Year-End D&M Certified Oil and Gas Reserves and
Highlights
GeoPark’s 2024 year-end reserves reflect the ongoing upgrade and
recalibration of the Company’s asset base, driven by the
incorporation of the Vaca Muerta blocks and adjustments in its
Colombian portfolio. 2P reserves increased 41% year-on-year on a
pro-forma basis, supported by the addition of 74.6 mmboe from Vaca
Muerta. At December 31, 2024, 1P reserves of 102.0 mmboe and 2P
reserves of 162.2 mmboe showed that the Company extended its 1P RLI
by 54% to 8.2 years, and its 2P RLI by 44% to 13.1 years.
Vaca Muerta’s strong results reflect the quality of the
producing Mata Mora Block and the operating execution to date.
Strategic decisions such as prioritization of landing zones and
optimization of completion design are proving their value, driving
continuous performance improvements. Furthermore, an additional 113
mmboe of net 3C contingent resources have been certified in the
Confluencia Norte, Confluencia Sur and Mata Mora Sur exploration
blocks, partly underpinned by the successful drilling in 2024 of
the first pad in Confluencia Norte. Looking ahead, a pad to be
drilled in Confluencia Sur in 2025 will be a key milestone for
confirming further exploration potential.
Organic 2P reserves (excluding the Vaca Muerta blocks) decreased
by approximately 27.5 mmboe, after producing 12.4 mmboe in 2024,
mainly due to technical revisions in mature fields, with the Llanos
34 Block accounting for 48% of the reduction. This decline was
driven by updated reservoir performance assessments, well-type
revisions, and factors such as reduced drilling activity and
suboptimal well performance, and was partially offset by additional
reserves from ongoing high-value, low-risk drilling campaigns and
reservoir management efficiencies. Looking ahead, GeoPark remains
focused on the full optimized development of the Llanos 34 Block,
with material net 2P reserves at 64.5 mmboe as estimated by
D&M. The strategy includes expanding waterflooding, piloting
polymer flooding, targeted workover campaigns, advanced
technologies to reduce water production and addressing potential
facility bottlenecks to enhance production capacity. The success of
these efforts would mitigate decline rates, improve long-term
performance, and maximize recovery from the asset.
Following 2024’s strategic progress, GeoPark’s portfolio is now
strategically balanced and diversified, combining the high growth
trajectory and potential of the Vaca Muerta blocks with the
established, mature production flows from the Llanos 34 and CPO-5
blocks. Approximately 90% of the Company’s 2P reserves are
concentrated in these three core assets, providing a focused
platform for delivery going forward. The portfolio’s combination of
a world-class unconventional resource and a high-performing mature
asset allows GeoPark to leverage growth opportunities while
maintaining strong cash flow generation. The Company’s disciplined
capital allocation, focus on development and appraisal drilling,
and continued technical improvements position it to drive further
reserves replacement and long-term value creation.
Pro Forma Consolidated Reserves Summary
- 1P reserves of 102.0 mmboe, with a RLI of 8.2 years
- 2P reserves of 162.2 mmboe, with a RLI of 13.1 years
- 3P reserves of 255.1 mmboe, with a RLI of 20.6 years
Pro Forma Net Present Value and Value Per Share
- 1P NPV10 After Tax of $1.2 billion
- Net debt-adjusted 1P NPV10 After Tax of $15.3 per share
- 2P NPV10 After Tax of $1.8 billion
- Net debt-adjusted 2P NPV10 After Tax of $27.8 per share
Andrés Ocampo, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Our
2024 reserves certification highlights the growing scale and long
term potential of our portfolio. The 48% increase in 1P reserves
and the 41% growth in 2P reserves demonstrate the transformational
impact of the incorporation of the Vaca Muerta blocks, and the
underlying capacity of these world-class unconventional assets to
grow and replace reserves through best-in-class operational
performance. In parallel, the subsurface challenges experienced in
our mature Llanos assets have prompted us to reset our expectations
going forward, with updated development plans that maximize value
and are underpinned by deep technical rigor, disciplined capital
allocation and operational efficiency. With a stronger, more
diversified and resilient reserve base, we have extended our
reserves life and are well-positioned to deliver growth.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release contains statements that constitute
forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements
contained in this press release can be identified by the use of
forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe’’,
‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘will,’’
‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.
Forward-looking statements that appear in a number of places in
this press release include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, regarding
various matters including NPV10 After Tax, our reserves, closing of
the Vaca Muerta acquisition, pad drilling and exploration
potential, and full optimized development of the Llanos 34 block.
Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and
assumptions, and on information currently available to the
management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties,
and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied in the forward-looking statements due to various
factors.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are
made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update
them in light of new information or future developments or to
release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to
reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the
Company which could affect whether these forward-looking statements
are realized, see the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This press release contains a number of oil and gas metrics,
including NPV after tax per share, reserve life index, net
debt-adjusted NPV per share, etc., which do not have standardized
meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such
measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other
companies and should not be used to make comparisons. Such metrics
have been included herein to provide readers with additional
measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however, such
measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of
the Company and future performance may not compare to the
performance in previous periods.
Information about oil and gas reserves: The SEC permits
oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose
only proven, probable and possible reserves that meet SEC
definitions for such terms. GeoPark uses certain terms in this
press release, such as "PRMS Reserves" that SEC guidelines do not
permit GeoPark from including in filings with the SEC. As a result,
the information in the Company’s SEC filings with respect to
reserves will differ significantly from the information in this
press release. NPV10 After Tax for PRMS 1P, 2P and 3P reserves is
not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future
net cash flows for SEC proved reserves.
1 All reserves included in this release refer to GeoPark working
interest before royalties paid in kind, except when specified. All
figures are expressed in US Dollars. Definitions of terms are
provided in the Glossary on page 4.
