James F. Park, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Thanks very much to the GeoPark team for delivering again strong free cash flow and profits from our high-quality low-breakeven production. We also are gearing up for 2022, with a powerful work program consisting of a very active drilling campaign with 40-48 wells, targeting continued production and cash flow growth, as well as 15-20 low cost exploration targets to potentially open up new fields on our big low-risk high-impact acreage position that can quickly be brought to cash flow if successful. We also announced an actionable and concrete roadmap to lower greenhouse gas emissions that provides real results in the short-term – as well as continue to provide tangible shareholder returns by our active dividend and share buy-back programs. This means for 2022 we will be generating significant free cash flow that will self-fund all of our objectives including shareholder returns, balance sheet strengthening, emission reductions, new business efforts, growing our production base, and an exciting exploration drilling program. We believe that being able to self-fund from cash flow and simultaneously achieve these objectives represent the right business model for our industry today and provide GeoPark with a comparative advantage in an energy-transitioning world.”

BLOCKADES IN PUTUMAYO
In mid-October 2021, some communities in the Putumayo basin started protests against the Government and as a result, GeoPark shut in Platanillo production of 2,100 bopd and suspended drilling activities in the block. Revised 2021 production guidance results from shut in production and delayed drilling of two development wells that were expected to start producing in 4Q2021 and are now expected in late 4Q2021 or early 2022. Production was fully restored on November 4, 2021 and development drilling activities are expected to restart by mid-November 2021.

SALE OF NON-CORE ASSETS IN ARGENTINA
On November 3, 2021, GeoPark accepted an offer from Oilstone Energía S.A. to purchase GeoPark's 100% WI in the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks in the Neuquen basin in Argentina for a total consideration of $16 million.

Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected by the end of 2021 or early in 2022. GeoPark will continue operating the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks until the completion of the divestment process. The sale of these blocks will allow GeoPark to reallocate resources to its core operations in Colombia and to continue streamlining its operations.

During the first nine months of 2021, the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks produced approximately 2,200 bopd (58% oil, 42% natural gas), representing 6% of GeoPark's net consolidated oil and gas production during that period.

The Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks have net proven PRMS reserves of approximately 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent, based on the December 2020 DeGolyer and MacNaughton’s certification, and adjusted by production during the nine month period ended September 30, 2021.
