SANTIAGO, Chile–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: “GPRK”), a leading
independent Latin American oil and gas explorer, operator and
consolidator with operations and growth platforms in Colombia, Chile,
Brazil, Argentina, and Peru, today announced new drilling and testing
successes in the Llanos 34 Block (GeoPark operated with a 45% working
interest) in Colombia.

New Jacamar Oil Field Discovery

Exploring a fault trend southeast of the Tigana/Jacana oil field
complex, GeoPark drilled and completed the Jacamar 1 exploration well to
a total depth of 10,627 feet. A test conducted with an electric
submersible pump in the Guadalupe formation resulted in a production
rate of approximately 1,000 bopd of 17.5 degrees API, with 13% water
cut, through a choke of 38/64 mm and wellhead pressure of 79 pounds per
square inch. Additional production history is required to determine
stabilized flow rates of the well. Surface facilities are in place and
the well is already in production. Oil shows during drilling and
petrophysical analysis indicate the potential for hydrocarbon production
also in the shallower Mirador and the deeper Gacheta formations.

Jacana Oil Field Extension

Following the drilling of the Jacana Sur 2 appraisal well in the first
quarter of 2017 to test the northwest boundaries of the Jacana oil
field, a test was conducted with an electric submersible pump in the
Guadalupe formation. It resulted in a production rate of approximately
270 bopd of 16.5 degrees API, with 21% water cut, through a choke of
32/64 mm and wellhead pressure of 48 pounds per square inch. Additional
production history is required to determine stabilized flow rates of the
well. Surface facilities are in place and the well is already in
production.

Jacana Oil Field New Formation Addition

Following the drilling of the Jacana 8 appraisal well in the first
quarter of 2017 to test a channel sand in the Mirador formation, which
had not previously produced oil in the Jacana oil field, a test
conducted with an electric submersible pump resulted in a production
rate of approximately 1,850 bopd of 24.0 degrees API, with 0.4% water
cut, through a choke of 32/64 mm and wellhead pressure of 100 pounds per
square inch. The deeper Guadalupe formation was also tested and oil was
found in an area which previously had no reserves assigned to it.
Additional production history is required to determine stabilized flow
rates of the well. Surface facilities are in place and the well is
already in production.

Tigana Oil Field Production Addition

GeoPark drilled and completed the Tigana Sur 5 development well to a
total depth of 11,310 feet. A test conducted with an electric
submersible pump in the Guadalupe formation resulted in a production
rate of approximately 1,010 bopd of 14.9 degrees API, with a 0.4% water
cut, through a choke of 32/64 mm and wellhead pressure of 85 pounds per
square inch. Additional production history is required to determine
stabilized flow rates of the well. Surface facilities are in place and
the well is already in production.

Current Drilling

Current drilling by GeoPark includes:

  • Colombia: Jacana 9 appraisal well to test the northern limits of the
    Jacana oil field and Curucucu 1 exploration well to test a new
    prospect adjacent to the newly-discovered Jacamar oil field – both
    wells in the Llanos 34 Block (GeoPark operated with a 45% WI) in the
    Llanos Basin
  • Argentina: Rio Grande Oeste 1 exploration well in the CN-V Block
    (GeoPark operated with a 50% WI) in the Neuquen Basin
  • Chile: Kimiri Aike 4 development well in the Fell Block (GeoPark
    operated with a 100% WI) in the Magallanes Basin

GeoPark’s total oil and gas production is continuing to grow with new
drilling results and is currently over 27,900 boepd.

Oil Market Hedge Position

For the period July 2017 to December 2017, GeoPark secured a minimum
Brent price of $51 per barrel for 6,000 bopd through a zero-cost collar
structure that includes a maximum price of $57.5 per barrel.
Approximately 50-60% of GeoPark’s production is hedged through the third
quarter of 2017 at a floor of $51-$53 per barrel and 25-30% is hedged
through the fourth quarter of 2017 at a floor of $51.

James F. Park, CEO of GeoPark, commented: “Congratulations to our team
for being able to execute and deliver such impressive results across our
assets in such a compressed period. We continue to find more oil and
grow production in the Llanos 34 Block as we work to extend limits, add
new formations and explore new accumulations. We also are now exploring
and developing familiar and reliable rocks in Argentina and Chile.
GeoPark has always grown by the drill bit and continues to demonstrate
an exceptional drilling success rate with world-beating finding and
development costs.”
