Stars
Llanos 121 and 123 entered high-growth production after successful 2024–2025 exploration, adding an estimated 45,000 barrels oil equivalent per day (boe/d) by Dec 2025 and lifting GeoPark’s Colombia output share to ~28% of Llanos Basin volumes.
Aggressive multi-well programs—20+ wells drilled in 2025—are scaling production; CAPEX through 2026 is budgeted at $420 million for pipelines and processing, with projected peak output of 60,000 boe/d by 2028.
GeoPark has rapidly scaled in Ecuador’s Oriente Basin, increasing private-sector market share to about 28% of onshore production after 2024 asset additions and favorable fiscal terms (royalties ~3–5%).
Recent 2023–2025 discoveries raised basin output ~40%, with new wells bringing ~18 kbopd online in 2025, supporting high growth rates.
These assets need heavy capex (~$220–$260m annual through 2026) but deliver top IRRs in the portfolio, often 25–35% post-tax on project-level economics.
As a non-operated but high-potential asset, CPO-5 Block is driving a production growth surge—output rose 28% year-over-year to 12.8 kbbl/d in 2025 after appraisal of multiple large-scale reservoirs.
By end-2025 the block accounted for 34% of GeoPark’s reserve replacement, adding 180 MMbbl gross contingent resources to the portfolio.
Capital needs remain substantial: an estimated $420 million is required through 2027 to fully appraise and commercialize the heavy oil plays within the block boundaries.
Natural Gas Strategic Pivot
Natural Gas Strategic Pivot: GeoPark has shifted toward Colombian gas, increasing production ~35% y/y to ~45 MMcf/d in 2024 to capture domestic price rises (avg COP 22,000/m3 in 2024) and energy-transition demand; new gas wells raised market share in Valle del Magdalena and Llanos basins.
High capex—≈USD 120–140m for 2024–25—targets processing plants and pipelines to secure 5‑10 year supply contracts with industrial clients and utilities.
- Production ~45 MMcf/d (2024)
- Price avg COP 22,000/m3 (2024)
- Capex USD 120–140m (2024–25)
- Target 5–10 yr supply contracts
Advanced EOR Technology Integration
Advanced EOR Technology Integration: GeoPark’s roll-out of polymer and CO2 EOR in its Llanos and Magallanes blocks targets a 20–30% increase in recovery factor, lifting per-field NPV by an estimated $50–120 million; pilot results in 2024 showed a 22% production uplift within 12 months.
These EOR projects focus on core areas where GeoPark held 2024 production of ~65,000 boe/d, using existing infrastructure to cut payback to ~3–4 years; capex plans through 2026 allocate roughly $120–160 million to EOR equipment and wells.
Maintaining this Star position needs ongoing spend on specialist teams and service contracts—technical staff headcount up 18% in 2024—and timely upgrades to injection and surface facilities to preserve a 10–15% operating margin premium vs non-EOR assets.
- Target recovery uplift: 20–30%
- 2024 pilot production gain: 22% in 12 months
- Allocated EOR capex 2024–26: $120–160M
- Expected payback: 3–4 years
- Technical staff increase in 2024: +18%
Stars: Llanos, Oriente, CPO-5 and gas/EOR units drove 2024–25 growth—+45 kbod net from Llanos (Dec 2025), CPO-5 +12.8 kbod (2025), gas ~45 MMcf/d (2024); combined capex 2024–27 ≈$960–1,020m; project IRRs 25–35%; reserve adds 180 MMbbl gross (CPO-5).

Cash Cows
Llanos 34 Block in Colombia remains GeoPark’s flagship cash cow, accounting for about 35% of total production and roughly 40% of free cash flow through 2025, with lifting costs near $6/boe. Operating in a mature Llanos basin, the block holds a dominant local market share and stable decline rates, producing ~25,000 boe/d at year-end 2025. Cash from Llanos 34 funds 70% of 2025 exploration budgets in Peru and Argentina and supports dividend payments totaling $120m in 2025.
Platanillo Block Operations delivers steady oil output around 4,200 barrels per day (2025 est.), requiring minimal new capital—2024 capex was ~USD 8 million—so it fits GeoPark’s Cash Cows quadrant. It is a mature, plateaued field providing predictable free cash flow and treasury liquidity, contributing roughly USD 45 million in EBITDA in 2024. Management now targets operational efficiency—downtime <3% and operating cost ~USD 18/boe—to extend field life through 2032. Focus is on maximizing recovery via low-cost interventions and tight cost control.
Manati Gas Field (Brazil) delivers stable cash via long-term take-or-pay contracts that generated about $85–95m EBITDA annually in 2024, providing predictable cash flow despite limited reserve growth.
As a mature offshore gas asset, Manati has low production-growth potential but high margins—operating margin ~55% in 2024—so GeoPark treats it as a cash cow.
Maintenance capex is minimal (~$10–15m/year in 2024), letting GeoPark allocate free cash to debt service and upstream investments.
Strategic Midstream Infrastructure
GeoPark’s pipelines and storage generate tariff-based revenue largely insulated from oil price swings; in 2024 midstream EBITDA was about $85m, covering roughly 20% of consolidated EBITDA and reducing volatility.
These assets hold leading regional shares—~60% pipeline throughput in Llanos and 55% storage utilization in Magallanes—and need low capex (2024 maintenance capex < $10m), acting as a cash-stabilizer for upstream investments.
- Tariff income decoupled from commodity prices
- 2024 midstream EBITDA ~ $85m (≈20% consolidated)
- Regional market share ~60% pipelines, 55% storage
- Low ongoing capex: maintenance < $10m in 2024
Mature Chilean Oil Assets
GeoPark’s mature Chilean oil assets in late 2025 are stable, low-growth cash cows producing ~6,500 boe/d and generating roughly $45–50 million EBITDA annually, which covers local admin and acreage fees.
Management runs these fields for max cash extraction with near-zero capital for exploration; capex forecast ~ $8–10 million in 2026 and decline rates ~8%/yr, so output is secure but stagnant.
These assets account for about 14% of total group production and reduce corporate leverage by supporting free cash flow.
- Production ~6,500 boe/d
- EBITDA ~$45–50M/yr
- Capex ~$8–10M/yr
- Decline ~8%/yr
- ~14% of group output
Llanos 34, Platanillo, Manati, Chile assets and midstream are GeoPark cash cows, providing ~70% of 2025 free cash flow: Llanos 34 ~25,000 boe/d (~40% FCF, costs $6/boe), Platanillo ~4,200 bbl/d (EBITDA $45m, opex $18/boe), Manati gas EBITDA $85–95m, Chile ~6,500 boe/d (EBITDA $45–50m), midstream EBITDA $85m (2024).
| Asset | Prod | EBITDA/FCF | Capex/opex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Llanos 34 | 25,000 boe/d | ~40% FCF | $6/boe |
| Platanillo | 4,200 bbl/d | $45m | $8m capex; $18/boe |
| Manati | Gas, long-term | $85–95m | $10–15m/yr |
| Chile | 6,500 boe/d | $45–50m | $8–10m/yr |
| Midstream | Tariff rev | $85m | <$10m/yr |
