GeoPark announced the acquisition and operatorship of two Vaca Muerta blocks totaling over 12,300 gross acres in the black oil window, adding current production of 1,700–2,000 boepd (95% oil). The company reports access to estimated recoverable resources of over 60 million gross barrels, net 1P reserves of 11.4 mmboe and 2P net reserves of 25.8 mmboe, which increases GeoPark's proforma consolidated production to about 30,000 boepd in 2025 and yields a reserve life index of ~7 years (1P) and over 10 years (2P).

Management expects a clear path to a gross plateau of ~20,000 boepd by year-end 2028 driven by 50–55 additional wells and new hub infrastructure, requiring $500–600 million gross investment through 2028. Incremental pro forma adjusted EBITDA is estimated at $12–14 million for full-year 2025, rising to $300–350 million gross at expected plateau (assumes $70/bbl Brent). GeoPark will pay $115 million at closing funded with cash, plus a $22.7 million security deposit, and will operate with a 95% WI (carrying GyP's 5% share during the carry period).

GeoPark ha annunciato l'acquisizione e la gestione operativa di due blocchi di Vaca Muerta per oltre 12.300 acri lordi nella finestra del petrolio nero, aggiungendo una produzione attuale di 1.700–2.000 boepd (95% petrolio). L'azienda segnala risorse recuperabili stimate oltre 60 milioni di barili lordi, riserve nette 1P di 11,4 mmboe e riserve nette 2P di 25,8 mmboe, il che aumenta la produzione consolidata pro forma di GeoPark a circa 30.000 boepd nel 2025 e assegna un indice di vita delle riserve (RLI) di ~7 anni (1P) e oltre 10 anni (2P). La direzione prevede un percorso chiaro verso un plateau lordo di ~20.000 boepd entro la fine del 2028, guidato da 50–55 pozzi aggiuntivi e una nuova infrastruttura hub, richiedendo un investimento lordo di 500–600 milioni di dollari entro il 2028. L'EBITDA aggiuntivo pro forma rettificato è stimato in 12–14 milioni di dollari per l'intero 2025, salendo a 300–350 milioni di dollari lordi al plateau previsto (ipotesi Brent a 70$/barile). GeoPark pagherà 115 milioni di dollari al closing, finanziati in contanti, più un deposito di garanzia di 22,7 milioni, e opererà con una partecipazione del 95% (mantenendo la quota del 5% di GyP durante la fase carry).

Das Unternehmen meldet Zugang zu geschätzten überprüfbaren Ressourcen von über 60 Millionen Brutto-Barrel, Netto-1P-Reserven von 11,4 mmboe und Netto-2P-Reserven von 25,8 mmboe, was Geo Parks pro-forma konsolidierte Produktion auf etwa 30.000 boepd im Jahr 2025 erhöht und einen Reserve Life Index von ca. 7 Jahren (1P) bzw. über 10 Jahren (2P) ergibt. Das Management erwartet einen klaren Weg zu einer Brutto-Plateau von ca. 20.000 boepd bis Ende 2028, angetrieben durch 50–55 zusätzliche Bohrungen und neue Hub-Infrastruktur, was eine Brutto-Investition von 500–600 Mio. USD bis 2028 erfordert. Das inkrementelle pro-forma bereinigte EBITDA wird auf 12–14 Mio. USD für das Gesamtjahr 2025 geschätzt und steigt auf 300–350 Mio. USD brutto am erwarteten Plateau (unter der Annahme von Brent bei 70 USD pro Barrel). GeoPark zahlt zum Abschluss 115 Mio. USD in bar, plus eine Sicherheitsleistung von 22,7 Mio. USD, und wird mit einem 95%-WI operieren (wobei GyP während der Carry-Periode 5% Anteil trägt).
أعلنت GeoPark عن الاستحواذ وقيادة التشغيل لقطعتين من فاكّا موييستا تغطيان أكثر من 12,300 فدان إجمالاً في نافذة النفط الأسود، مضيفة إنتاجاً حالياً من 1,700–2,000 برميل مكافئ يومياً (95% نفط). وتذكر الشركة وصولاً إلى موارد قابلة للاستخراج تبلغ أكثر من 60 مليون برميل إجمالاً، واحتياطيات صافية 1P قدرها 11.4 مليون برميل مكافئ نفطي، واحتياطيات صافية 2P قدرها 25.8 مليون برميل مكافئ نفطي، مما يزيد الإنتاج الموحد pro forma لشركة GeoPark إلى نحو 30,000 برميل مكافئ نفطي يومياً في 2025 ويعطي مؤشر عمر الاحتياطي بنحو 7 سنوات (1P) وأكثر من 10 سنوات (2P). وتتوقع الإدارة مساراً واضحاً نحو هضبة إجمالية نحو 20,000 برمیل مكافئ نفطي يومياً بحلول نهاية 2028 بدعم من 50–55 بئراً إضافياً وبنية تحتية جديدة للمركز، وهو ما يتطلب استثماراً إجمالياً قدره 500–600 مليون دولار حتى 2028. يقدّر EBITDA المعدل pro forma الإضافي بـ12–14 مليون دولار للسنة الكاملة 2025، ليصل إلى 300–350 مليون دولار إجمالاً عند الهضبة المتوقع (افتراض Brent عند 70 دولاراً للبرميل). ستدفع GeoPark 115 مليون دولار عند الإغلاق نقداً، إضافة إلى وديعة ضمان قدرها 22.7 مليون دولار، وستعمل بحصة ملكية 95% (مع الحفاظ على حصة GyP البالغة 5% خلال فترة Carry).
GeoPark宣布收购并运营两块 Vaca Muerta 区块,总面积超过12,300英亩,位于黑油窗口,当前产量为1,700–2,000 boepd(95% 为石油)。公司披露可估计可采资源超过6000万巴油,净 1P 储量为 11.4 mmboe,净 2P 储量为 25.8 mmboe,使 GeoPark 的 pro forma 合并产量在 2025 年达到约 30,000 boepd,1P 储量寿命指数约为 7 年,2P 超过 10 年。管理层预计在 2028 年底实现约 20,000 boepd 的粗略产量平台,受 50–55 口追加井和新 hub 基础设施推动,需要在 2028 年前投资 5–6 亿美元的总投资。增量 pro forma 调整后的 EBITDA 预计在 2025 年全年为 1200–1400 万美元,达到预测的 plateau 时为 3–3.5 亿美元毛额(假设布伦特油价为 70 美元/桶)。GeoPark 将在收盘时以现金支付 1.15 亿美元,并再加上 2270 万美元的担保金,Carry 期内以 GyP 的 5% 份额进行携带,运营时的 WI 为 95%。
Positive
  • Significant reserve additions: estimated 2P net reserves of 25.8 mmboe and >60 million gross barrels recoverable in the blocks
  • Production scale: current 1,700–2,000 boepd adds to a proforma ~30,000 boepd in 2025
  • Clear growth plan: line of sight to ~20,000 boepd gross plateau by year-end 2028 supported by 50–55 additional wells
  • Material EBITDA upside: estimated incremental pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $12–14m in 2025 and $300–350m at plateau (at $70/bbl Brent)
  • Operator control: GeoPark to be operator with initial 95% WI and carrying GyP's 5% during the carry period
Negative
  • Significant capex requirement: $500–600 million gross investment needed through 2028 to reach plateau
  • Near-term leverage increase: peak net debt/EBITDA projected at 2.0–2.5x in 2026 before deleveraging
  • Execution risk: reliance on infrastructure construction (central processing facility, pipeline) starting 2026 to meet ramp timelines
  • Commodity price sensitivity: plateau EBITDA estimates are explicitly tied to a $70/bbl Brent assumption

Insights

TL;DR: Acquisition materially expands GeoPark's Argentina footprint with sizable reserve additions and a funding plan tied to near-term production growth.

The deal adds meaningful liquids-weighted production and reserves in the Vaca Muerta black oil window, improving scale and long-term optionality. The estimated 2P net reserves of 25.8 mmboe and proforma production of ~30,000 boepd provide credible medium-term growth runway. The projected plateau of ~20,000 boepd gross from these blocks implies large capex through 2028 ($500–600m gross) but also substantial EBITDA upside at $70/bbl Brent. Key operational enablers include planned hub infrastructure and a central processing facility sized for ~20,000 bopd. Execution risk centers on drilling pace, infrastructure build timelines (start 2026) and delivering forecast costs and volumes.

TL;DR: Transaction is accretive to EBITDA but raises near-term leverage before expected rapid deleveraging at plateau.

GeoPark funds the $115m cash purchase from available cash and posts a $22.7m security deposit, adding modest incremental pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $12–14m in 2025. The company projects peak net debt/EBITDA of 2.0–2.5x in 2026 driven by development capex, with deleveraging to below 1.0x as plateau EBITDA materializes. From a credit perspective, this profile is manageable if capex and production ramps meet expectations, but sensitivity to Brent price, construction timing and operational execution will determine whether projected credit metrics are achieved.

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

   

 

GEOPARK ENTERS VACA MUERTA AS OPERATOR OF TWO HIGH QUALITY BLOCKS

 

Bogota, Colombia – September 25, 2025 – 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 that it has entered into an agreement with Pluspetrol S.A. (“Pluspetrol”) to acquire a 100% operated working interest (“WI”) in the Loma Jarillosa Este and Puesto Silva Oeste blocks that target black oil in the Vaca Muerta formation in Neuquen Province, Argentina.

 

Concurrently, GeoPark and the Government of Neuquen Province have signed two “Actas Acuerdo” (Deeds of Agreement) that establishes the parties’ commitment to the deal and outline the terms and conditions under which the concessions will be transferred. The Deeds of Agreement include the issuance of a new unconventional exploitation license for the Puesto Silva Oeste Block that requires GeoPark to transfer a 5% WI to Gas y Petróleo del Neuquen S.A. (“GyP”), therefore resulting in a 95% operated WI in that block.

 

This acquisition delivers on GeoPark’s declared strategic intent to establish a position in Vaca Muerta, a growing, world-class, proven unconventional oil and gas play. As an accredited unconventional operator, GeoPark will be positioned to actively contribute to the basin’s operational ecosystem, while pursuing growth opportunities and efficiency initiatives. In addition, the acquisition provides:

 

·Scale and Longevity: Over 12,300 gross acres in the Vaca Muerta black oil window, with an estimated recoverable resource of over 60 million1 gross barrels of oil, under concession for more than 30 years. Current production of 1,700–2,000 boepd (95% oil and 5% gas) in the acquired blocks increases GeoPark’s proforma production on a consolidated basis to approximately 30,000 boepd in 2025, with an estimated reserve life index of 7 years for 1P reserves and over 10 years for 2P reserves

·Growth Trajectory: Clear line of sight to achieving plateau production of approximately 20,000 boepd by year-end 2028. The acquired blocks hold estimated 2P reserves of 25.8 mmboe and estimated 2C contingent resources of 44.2 mmboe, providing significant additional upside

·Value Accretion: Incremental pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA2 of $12–14 million in full-year 2025. At expected plateau production the assets are estimated to contribute $300–350 million of gross Adjusted EBITDA (at $70/bbl Brent oil price)

 

The transaction is expected to close before year-end 2025, following the issuance of the Neuquen Province Decree ratifying the Deeds of Agreement. GeoPark will continue to work jointly with its counterparties to progress the transaction effectively and inform the market on further developments as they become available.

 

Felipe Bayon, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Today’s agreement marks a defining milestone for GeoPark, transforming the Company by adding immediate production, increased reserves, and significant long-term value. It also demonstrates the commitment to drive sustainable long-term growth and value through both organic developments and strategic acquisitions. The Loma Jarillosa Este and Puesto Silva Oeste blocks establish a compelling entry position into one of the world’s most prolific unconventional plays

 

 

1 GeoPark’s estimate.

2 The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA which is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure, because the Company cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components, such as write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts or impairment loss on non-financial assets, etc.

 

 
 

and we are grateful that the Government of Neuquen Province has entrusted us with the development and operation of these assets. We see it as a unique opportunity to apply and continue to build our distinct capabilities to unlock value for decades to come. Looking ahead, we are confident that the execution of our strategic plan, leveraging the enduring foundation we have built in Colombia and the distinctive portfolio depth provided by today’s acquisition, positions GeoPark as a stronger and more resilient company.”

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

Key Deal Terms

·Payment: GeoPark will pay $115 million3 at closing4, funded with available cash, with a security deposit of $22.7 million on the date Pluspetrol and GeoPark entered into the agreement. The agreed price represents a valuation of approximately $9,550 per acre

·Concession Details:

oLoma Jarillosa Este Block: Transfer of Pluspetrol’s concession (6,054 acres), with an exploitation license valid until 2057

oPuesto Silva Oeste Block: Transfer of Pluspetrol’s concession (6,301 acres) and the award of a new exploitation license valid for 35 years, including transportation authorization. As part of the new license terms, GeoPark will transfer a 5% WI to GyP. GeoPark remains operator with a 95% WI and will carry GyP’s portion of the capital and expenditures on a fully recoverable basis with up to 100% of GyP’s share of production. This recoverable carry will be reflected in GeoPark’s working interest, increasing it from 95 to 100 percent during the carry period

·Effective Date: January 1, 2025

 

Growing Production and Reserves with a Clear Potential Upside

·⁠Production: Currently producing 1,700–2,000 boepd (95% oil, 5% gas)  

·Expected growth: Production projected to reach approximately 20,000 boepd by year-end 2028

·Development plan: Potential for 50–55 additional wells across 15 pads, unlocking more than 60 mmboe gross recoverable volumes

·Estimated reserves: Access to 11.4 mmboe of 1P net reserves, 25.8 mmboe of 2P net reserves, and 45.3 mmboe of 3P net reserves

·2025 pro forma impact: On a consolidated basis, the acquisition positions GeoPark at approximately 30,000 boepd, with an estimated reserve life index of 7 years for 1P reserves and over 10 years for 2P reserves

 

Value Accretive with Immediate Cash Generation and Long-Term Value

·Incremental pro-forma net Adjusted EBITDA2 of $12–14 million in full-year 2025

·At expected peak production of approximately 20,000 boepd gross in 2028, the assets are expected to contribute $300–350 million of gross Adjusted EBITDA (at $70/bbl Brent oil price)

·The development plan requires $500-600 million of gross investment through 2028. Peak net debt-to-EBITDA ratio is 2.0-2.5x in 2026, before rapidly deleveraging to below 1.0x as plateau Adjusted EBITDA is achieved

 

Facilities and Infrastructure

·Current production is processed with a battery that can handle up to 6,000 bopd at the Loma Jarillosa Este Block. GeoPark plans to develop the two blocks as a hub, with a new central processing facility to be built at the Puesto Silva Oeste Block with an expected capacity of approximately 20,000 bopd and a pipeline connecting the two blocks. Construction of this infrastructure is projected to start in 2026 and be online in time to support the anticipated plateau production

The reserves estimates provided in this release are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may eventually prove to be greater than, or less than, the estimates provided herein. Statements relating to reserves are by their nature forward-looking statements.

 

Gas quantities estimated herein are reserves to be produced from the reservoirs, available to be delivered to the gas pipeline after field separation prior to compression. Gas reserves estimated herein include fuel gas.

 

Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this press release may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release may not sum due to rounding.

 

Oil and gas production figures included in this release are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses.

 

All evaluations of future net revenue contained in the D&M Reports are after the deduction of cash royalties, development costs, operating expenses, production and profit taxes, fees, earn out payments, well abandonment costs, and country income taxes from the future gross revenue. It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented in the tables represent the fair market value of the reserves. The actual production, revenues, taxes and development, and operating expenditures with respect to the reserves associated with the Company’s properties may vary from the information presented herein, and such variations could be material. In addition, there is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions contained in the D&M Report will be attained, and variances could be material.

 

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 the closing of this acquisition and its benefits to GeoPark, production growth, development programs, Reserve Life Index, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, and capacity at the central processing facility. 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.
