Includes royalties and other economic rights paid in kind in Colombia for approximately 5,045 bopd, 2,952 bopd and 911 bopd in 3Q2023, 2Q2023 and 3Q2022, respectively. No royalties were paid in kind in other countries. Production in Ecuador is reported before the Government’s production share. |
b) |
Please refer to the Commodity Risk Management Contracts section below. |
c) |
Production and operating costs include operating costs, royalties and economic rights paid in cash, share based payments and purchased crude oil. |
d) |
G&A and G&G expenses include non-cash, share-based payments for $1.7 million, $1.7 million, and $3.9 million in 3Q2023, 2Q2023 and 3Q2022, respectively. These expenses are excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. |
Production: Oil and gas production in 3Q2023 was 34,778 boepd, down by 9% compared to 3Q2022, due to lower production in Colombia, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador. Oil represented 93% and 91% of total reported production in 3Q2023 and 3Q2022, respectively.
Deliveries: Oil and gas deliveries to GeoPark’s offtakers in 3Q2023 totaled 30,559 boepd, down by 16% compared to 3Q2022, mainly due to lower consolidated production and higher royalties and economic rights paid in kind, which was partially offset by a reduction in inventories.
The mix of royalties and economic rights paid in kind versus in cash affects Revenue and Production and operating costs but it is neutral at the Adjusted EBITDA level. In 3Q2023, royalties and economic rights paid in kind increased significantly compared to 3Q2022, resulting in lower revenue and lower production and operating costs (due to lower cash royalties and economic rights paid in cash).
Reference and Realized Oil Prices: Brent crude oil prices decreased by 12% to $86.0 per bbl during 3Q2023, and the consolidated realized oil sales price decreased by 13% to $74.6 per bbl in 3Q2023.
A breakdown of reference and net realized oil prices in relevant countries in 3Q2023 and 3Q2022 is shown in the tables below:

(*) Net of Commodity risk management contracts designated as cash flow hedges. |
- Colombia: 3Q2023 oil revenue decreased by 27% to $178.0 million, reflecting lower realized oil prices and lower oil deliveries. Realized prices decreased by 13% to $74.7 per bbl due to lower Brent oil prices while oil deliveries decreased by 16% to 27,022 bopd. Earn-out payments decreased to $7.2 million in 3Q2023, compared to $9.3 million in 3Q2022 in line with lower oil prices. Commodity risk management contracts designated as cash flow hedges amounted to $0.7 million in 3Q2023, reflecting hedges with ceiling prices below actual Brent oil prices during the quarter.
- Chile: 3Q2023 oil revenue decreased by 66% to $1.0 million, reflecting lower realized prices and lower oil deliveries. Realized prices decreased by 19% to $75.4 per bbl due to lower Brent oil prices while oil deliveries decreased by 57% to 147 bopd, affected by temporarily shut-in oil production due to commercial negotiations with ENAP, the oil offtaker in Chile. GeoPark reached an agreement with ENAP and as of August 2023, it gradually started reopening temporarily shut-in oil production of 400 bopd.
- Ecuador: 3Q2023 oil revenue increased by 190% to $5.6 million, reflecting higher deliveries that were partially offset by lower realized prices. Oil deliveries increased by 279% to 859 bopd while realized prices decreased by 24% to $71.1 per bbl. Deliveries in Ecuador are net of the Government’s production share.
Sales of purchased crude oil: 3Q2023 sales of purchased crude oil increased 125% to $2.2 million, which corresponds to oil trading operations (purchasing and selling crude oil from third parties with the cost of the oil purchased being reflected in production and operating costs). Sales of purchased crude oil were 1% of total revenue in 3Q2023 and 3Q2022.
Sales of gas: Consolidated gas revenue decreased by 39% to $5.3 million in 3Q2023 compared to $8.6 million in 3Q2022, reflecting 37% lower gas deliveries and 3% lower gas prices. Gas revenue was 3% of total revenue in 3Q2023 and 3Q2022.

In 3Q2023 GeoPark had zero cost collars covering 9,000 bopd including purchased puts with an average price of $70.0 per bbl and sold calls at an average price of $94.7 per bbl. As from January 1, 2023 Commodity risk management contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, so that realized gains or losses are recorded in Revenue.
Please refer to the “Commodity Risk Management Contracts” section below for a description of hedges in place as of the date of this release.
Production and Operating Costs: Consolidated production and operating costs decreased to $58.2 million from $87.1 million, mainly resulting from lower royalties and economic rights paid in cash (due to lower oil prices and higher royalties and economic rights paid in kind), partially offset by higher operating costs.
The table below provides a breakdown of production and operating costs in 3Q2023 and 3Q2022:

Consolidated royalties paid in cash amounted to $0.8 million in 3Q2023 compared to $15.5 million in 3Q2022, in line with lower oil prices and higher volumes of royalties being paid in kind.
Consolidated economic rights paid in cash (including high price participation, x-factor and other economic rights paid to the Colombian Government in cash) amounted to $14.8 million in 3Q2023 compared to $47.0 million in 3Q2022, in line with lower oil prices and higher volumes of economic rights paid in kind.
Consolidated operating costs increased to $40.6 million in 3Q2023 compared to $23.6 million in 3Q2022, reflecting higher energy costs due to lower availability of hydroelectric power in Colombia and inflationary pressures.
The breakdown of operating costs is as follows:
- Colombia: Total operating costs increased to $33.5 million in 3Q2023 from $19.4 million in 3Q2022, mainly due to higher operating costs per boe, partially offset by lower deliveries (deliveries in Colombia decreased by 16%). Increased operating costs per boe in 3Q2023 mainly reflected higher energy costs due to a drought affecting the energy matrix in Colombia with lower availability of hydroelectric power, as well as inflationary pressures (the general inflation index was approximately 8% in 9M2023).
- Chile: Total operating costs decreased to $1.8 million in 3Q2023 from $2.6 million in 3Q2022, mainly due to lower oil and gas deliveries (deliveries in Chile decreased by 36%), partially offset by higher operating costs per boe.
- Brazil: Total operating costs increased to $1.2 million in 3Q2023 from $0.8 million in 3Q2022, due to higher operating costs per boe, partially offset by lower gas deliveries from the Manati field (deliveries in Brazil decreased by 49%).
- Ecuador: Total operating costs increased to $4.1 million in 3Q2023 from $0.6 million in 3Q2022, mainly due to higher deliveries (deliveries in Ecuador increased by 279%) and higher operating costs per boe.
Consolidated purchased crude oil charges amounted to $1.9 million in 3Q2023 compared to $0.7 million in 3Q2022, which corresponds to oil trading operations (purchasing and selling crude oil from third parties with the sale of purchased oil being reflected in Revenue).
Selling Expenses: Consolidated selling expenses increased to $3.8 million in 3Q2023 compared to $2.0 million in 3Q2022.
Geological & Geophysical Expenses: Consolidated G&G expenses increased to $2.6 million in 3Q2023 compared to $2.3 million in 3Q2022.
Administrative Expenses: Consolidated G&A decreased to $11.6 million in 3Q2023 compared to $14.3 million in 3Q2022.
Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA4 decreased by 18% to $115.2 million in 3Q2023 (on a per boe basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $41.0 per boe in 3Q2023 from $42.4 per boe in 3Q2022).

a) |
RIK (Royalties in kind) & Other: Includes royalties and other economic rights paid in kind in Colombia for approximately 5,045 bopd and 911 bopd in 3Q2023 and 3Q2022, respectively. No royalties were paid in kind in Chile, Brazil or Ecuador. Production in Ecuador is reported before the Government’s production share. |
b) |
Reported in the Corporate business segment. |
c) |
Conversion rate of $mcf/$boe=1/6. |
d) |
Includes amounts recorded in the Corporate business segment. |
e) |
Operating costs per boe included in this table include certain adjustments to the reported figures (IFRS 16 and others). |
Operating costs per boe in Colombia are affected by the mix of royalties and economic rights paid in kind versus paid in cash, as operating cost per boe is calculated as total operating costs (including the cost to produce barrels that are used to pay royalties and economic rights in kind) divided by barrels delivered to GeoPark’s offtakers (after royalties and economic rights paid in kind).
Depreciation: Consolidated depreciation charges increased to $29.8 million in 3Q2023 compared to $21.4 million in 3Q2022.
Write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts: The consolidated write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts amounted to $9.3 million in 3Q2023 compared to $5.9 million in 3Q2022. Amounts recorded in 3Q2023 correspond to unsuccessful exploration efforts in the Llanos 124 Block (GeoPark operated, 50% WI), and to a lesser extent in the Llanos 34 Block, both in Colombia.
