2022 Work Program: Superior Free Cash Flow3 Plus Multiple Catalysts to Grow Production and Test High Potential Prospects
Self-funded 2022 capital expenditures program of $160-180 million to drill 40-48 gross wells, including an extensive exploration drilling program of 15-20 gross wells that targets high-potential, short-cycle and near-field projects adjacent to the Llanos 34 block plus other exploration targets in Colombia and Ecuador
- At $65-70/bbl Brent the program would generate $90-140 million free cash flow, or 11-18% free cash flow yields
- At $75-80/bbl Brent the program would generate $170-210 million free cash flow, or 21-26% free cash flow yields
- At $80-85/bbl Brent the program would generate $210-250 million free cash flow, or 26-32% free cash flow yields
- GeoPark intends to use free cash flow for continued deleveraging, incremental shareholder returns through cash dividends and share buybacks, and other corporate purposes, subject to prevailing oil price conditions in 2022
Recent Events (Not included in the 2021 Year-End D&M Certification)
- Perico Block (GeoPark non-operated, 50% WI): In January 2022, GeoPark announced its first discovery in Ecuador after drilling and testing the Jandaya 1 exploration well. Initial production tests had a rate of 750 bopd of 28 degrees API and 0.8 mmcfpd, for a combined 890 boepd. Production is already tied-in and being delivered. The second exploration well, Tui 1, has spudded and is expected to reach TD in late February 2022
- CPO-5 Block: The Indico 4 development well was spudded in December 2021 and tested in January 2022. Initial tests showed a production rate of 3,840 bopd (on a restricted 32/64 inch choke) of light oil (35 degrees API) with an estimated payback of approximately 2 months4. Oil production is already tied-in and being delivered. Rig down activities are currently underway and the operator is expecting to spud the Indico 5 development well in February 2022
James F. Park, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Thanks and congratulations to our team for these strong 2021 results – in a year with little exploration investment. Once again, we were able to continue developing and adding reserves in our core and big cash-generating Llanos 34 block where we replaced 131% of Proven Developed, 79% of 2P and 100% of 3P reserves. Our large profitable reserve base in Colombia provides us with a steady growth fairway and large inventory of low-risk, low-cost development drilling projects to continue generating and growing production and cash flow. On top of this secure foundation, we have just kicked off our 2022 work program with an extensive drilling campaign of 40-48 wells, including 15-20 low-cost exploration wells on our high-impact proven acreage that can quickly be converted to production and cash flow, as demonstrated by our recent discovery in Ecuador and the new development well in the CPO-5 block.”

Analysis by Country
Colombia
Llanos 34 block
The Llanos 34 block represented 89%, 78% and 70% of GeoPark 1P, 2P and 3P D&M certified reserves in Colombia, respectively.
GeoPark’s drilling plan in 2021 in its core Llanos 34 block was mainly focused on low risk development projects that resulted in net PD reserve additions with a reserve replacement of 131%, and to a lesser extent on successful field extensions that added 2P and 3P reserves and opened new development and appraisal drilling opportunities to be tested in 2022.
GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in the Llanos 34 block in Colombia totaled 105.8 mmbbl in 2021 compared to 107.7 mmbbl in 2020, resulting from 9.2 mmbbl production that was partially offset by 7.3 mmbbl of reserve additions due to field extensions in the Tigui area, with a reserve replacement of 79%.
As of December 31, 2021, the Llanos 34 block included approximately 688 future development drilling locations (2P, gross).
The 1P RLI was 7.9 years, while the 2P RLI was 11.5 years.
Gross original oil in place in the Llanos 34 is estimated to be 0.8-1 billion barrels9. Cumulative production since 2012 to 2021 totaled 139 mmbbl gross, representing a recovery of 15% of the original oil in place, whereas the 2P reserves consider an ultimate recovery factor of approximately 40%.
CPO-5 block
The CPO-5 block is located to the southwest and is adjacent to and on trend with the Llanos 34 block. The block has 400-900 mmbbl gross recoverable exploration resources10, or 120-270 mmbbl net to GeoPark. During 2021, the operator, ONGC, acquired 250 sq km of 3D seismic in the central part of the block that is currently being interpreted and analyzed and which could add incremental exploration resources.
The CPO-5 block represented 6%, 15% and 23%, of GeoPark 1P, 2P and 3P D&M certified reserves in Colombia, respectively.
GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in CPO-5 totaled 20.0 mmbbl in 2021 compared to 21.2 mmbbl in 2020, reflecting 1.4 mmbbl production, partially offset by positive technical revisions due to strong reservoir performance in the Indico oil field in 2021.
The 1P RLI was 3.8 years, while the 2P RLI was 14.7 years.
The operator suffered delays in the execution of the 2021 drilling campaign in the CPO-5 block which started in mid-December 2021 with the spudding of the Indico 4 development well. The campaign originally included drilling of 5-6 gross wells, including development and exploration projects that were deferred to 2022.
The Indico 4 development well was spudded in December 2021 and initiated production tests in January 2022. The operator drilled and completed Indico 4 well to a total depth of 10,495 feet. Initial production tests show a production rate of 3,840 bopd of 35 degrees API, with a 0.25% water cut. Additional production history is required to determine stabilized flow rates of the well. Rig down activities are currently underway and the operator expects to spud the Indico 5 development well in February 2022.
____________
| 8 D&M best estimate. |
| 9 D&M best estimate of 1P-3P gross original oil in place. |
| 10 Corresponds to GeoPark’s aggregate Mean-P10 unrisked recoverable oil volumes in leads and prospects individually audited by Gaffney & Cline as of December 31, 2020. |
The 2022 drilling campaign includes the drilling of 7-8 gross wells, including 1-2 development wells and 6-7 exploration wells. The exploration program targets high potential nearfield projects adjacent to and on trend with the Llanos 34 block. The drilling campaign is being executed with two drilling rigs, with one rig currently active in the block and the second to join in 1H2022.
Total Colombia (including reserves in the Llanos 34, CPO-5, Platanillo and Llanos 32 blocks)
GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Colombia totaled 135.8 mmbbl in 2021 compared to 141.0 mmbbl in 2020, resulting from 11.4 mmboe production and negative technical revisions of 1.7 mmboe in the Llanos 32 block, partially offset by reserve additions in the Llanos 34 block and to a lesser extent, positive technical revisions in the CPO-5 and Platanillo blocks due to strong reservoir performance.
As of December 31, 2021, GeoPark blocks in Colombia included approximately 8811 future development drilling locations (2P, gross).
The 1P RLI was 7.2 years, while the 2P RLI was 11.9 years.
Chile
GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Chile totaled 17.3 mmboe in 2021 compared to 25.5 mmboe in 2020, with lower reserves resulting from negative revisions due to delayed development plans in smaller fields and oil and gas production of 0.9 mmboe.
The 1P RLI was 5.1 years and the 2P RLI was 19.8 years.
The Fell block represented 100% of GeoPark 2P D&M certified reserves in Chile.
The 2P D&M reserves in Chile were 30% oil and 70% gas.
The 2022 drilling campaign includes drilling of two gas wells in the Jauke/Dicky geological structure, targeting to spud the first well in March 2022.
Brazil
GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Brazil totaled 2.5 mmboe compared to 2.6 mmboe in 2020, reflecting production of 0.7 mmboe during 2021 that was partially offset by positive technical revisions of 0.6 mmboe resulting from strong reservoir performance in the Manati gas field.
The 1P RLI was 3.5 years and the 2P RLI was 3.7 years.
The Manati field represented 100% of GeoPark Brazil 2P D&M certified reserves.
The 2P D&M reserves in Brazil were 2% oil and condensate, and 98% gas.
Manati Gas Field Divestment Process Update
In November 2020 GeoPark signed an agreement to sell its 10% non-operated WI in the Manati gas field to Gas Bridge S.A. for a total consideration of R$144.4 million (approximately $26 million at an exchange rate of R$5.5 per dollar), including a fixed payment of R$124.4 million plus an earn-out of R$20.0 million, subject to obtaining certain regulatory approvals.
The transaction is subject to several conditions that should be met before March 31, 2022 and that have not been met as of the date of this release.
____________
| 11 D&M best estimate. |
Argentina
GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Argentina decreased to 3.5 mmboe in 2021 compared to 5.5 mmboe in 2020, resulting from delayed development plans, technical revisions and oil and gas production of 0.8 mmboe in 2021.
The 1P RLI was 3.4 years, while the 2P RLI was 4.6 years.
The Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks represented 100% of GeoPark Argentina 2P D&M certified reserves.
The 2P D&M reserves in Argentina were 63% oil and 37% gas.
Argentina Divestment Process Update
In November 2021, GeoPark accepted an offer to divest its non-core Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks for a total consideration of $16 million. The process is currently underway with closing expected in late January or early February 2022.

NOTICE
Additional information about GeoPark can be found in the “Investor Support” section of the website at www.geo-park.com
The reserve 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 NPV10 after tax and NPV10 after tax/share estimations, our reserves, the divestment process of the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks and the Manati Gas Field, the estimated future revenues, free cash flows and oil price forecast. 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).
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 the SEC’s 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.
