Insights

Renewed Vitol deal locks in pricing and up to $500m funding.

GeoPark has renewed its Colombian offtake agreement so Vitol buys 100% of crude from Llanos 34, Llanos 123 and CPO-5 through December 31, 2028. Restoring weighted-average netbacks to single-digit levels comparable to 2020 benchmarks and adding about US$0.33 per barrel to realizations should support higher operating margins.

The package includes a prepayment facility of up to $500 million, with $330 million firmly committed and an option for another $170 million. This can be drawn and repaid via future oil deliveries or prepaid without penalty, giving flexible, asset-backed liquidity.

Pricing for any drawn amounts is tied to one-month term SOFR plus 3.50%, currently about 7.15–7.25% using a 3.69% SOFR as of January 26, 2026, and represents a 25-basis-point margin reduction versus the prior Vitol agreement. Funds are committed until June 30, 2027, so subsequent disclosures may clarify how much GeoPark actually draws under this facility.

GEOPARK RENEWS OFFTAKE AGREEMENT WITH VITOL IN COLOMBIA

 

IMPROVED PRICE REALIZATIONS AND LOWER-COST FLEXIBLE FUNDING OF UP TO $500 MILLION

 

Bogota, Colombia – January 28, 2026 – 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 the renewal of its offtake and prepayment agreement with Vitol, extending the term and expanding the scope of collaboration across the Llanos basin in Colombia.

 

The new offtake agreement provides for GeoPark to sell and deliver to Vitol 100% of its crude oil production from the Llanos 34 (operated, 45% WI), Llanos 123 (operated, 50% WI), and CPO-5 (non-operated, 30% WI) blocks, extending the current agreement from its original expiry in June 2027 through December 31, 2028.

 

The renewed terms restore GeoPark’s weighted-average netbacks to single-digit levels, comparable to 2020 benchmarks, effectively offsetting the cumulative impact of midstream tariff adjustments and inflationary trends over the past five years. Portfolio realizations are expected to improve by approximately US$0.33 per barrel on a weighted-average basis compared to the Company’s average over the past six months, supporting stronger margins and improved cash-flow visibility. The new terms take effect in January 2026, with deliveries beginning in January 2026 for Llanos 34 and in May 2026 for CPO-5 and Llanos 123, and remaining in force through December 31, 2028.

 

As part of the renewal, GeoPark will have access to a prepayment facility from Vitol that provides for a total of up to $500 million, consisting of a firm $330 million committed availability with an option to increase the availability by up to another $170 million in prepaid future oil sales over the period of the offtake contract. The renewed prepayment facility reflects the strength of GeoPark’s operational delivery in the Llanos basin, and builds on the track record established under the prior agreement.

 

Amounts under the facility do not constitute a mandatory funding requirement and if drawn can be repaid through future oil deliveries or prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest cost for any drawn amounts is based on a one-month term SOFR risk-free rate plus a margin of 3.50% per annum, representing a 25-bps reduction versus the prior prepayment agreement with Vitol, and, together with the decline in SOFR, would currently be equivalent to an interest rate of approximately 7.15–7.25%1. Funds committed by Vitol will be made available until June 30, 2027, subject to certain conditions.

 

The prepayment facility is an integral feature of the improved commercial framework agreed with Vitol, enhancing GeoPark’s financial flexibility and resilience under current market conditions while providing further optionality and certainty of funding to support the execution of the Company’s strategic plans for the 2026–2028 period and beyond.

 

Vitol is one of the world’s leading energy and commodity companies, and its strong presence and operations in Colombia and Latin America includes a well-established commercial relationship with GeoPark.
