FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
GEOPARK ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF ITS LATIN
AMERICAN PORTFOLIO WITH NEW LOW-COST EXPLORATION ACREAGE ADDED IN BRAZIL
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – September
12, 2019 - 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, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Chile
and Ecuador, today announced the expansion of its portfolio with four new exploration blocks in the Reconcavo and Potiguar basins
in Brazil.
GeoPark was preliminarily awarded the REC-T-58,
REC-T-67, REC-T-77 and POT-T-834 blocks in the first cycle of the Permanent Offer held by Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum,
Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
The acquired blocks represent low-risk and
low-cost exploration acreage, strengthening GeoPark’s existing portfolio in the Reconcavo and Potiguar basins and adjacent
to existing producing fields. The Reconcavo blocks are located nearby GeoPark’s recent light oil discovery, Praia dos Castelhanos,
in the REC-T-128 block (GeoPark operated, 70% working interest). The blocks cover an area of 30,731 acres in aggregate (or 124
sq km). GeoPark has preliminarily identified multiple oil prospects and leads, based on existing 3D seismic and other relevant
data. GeoPark will be the operator with a 100% working interest.
The Company has committed to invest a minimum
of approximately $1.3 million in aggregate (including bonus and investment commitments) during the first exploration period of
five years.
The winning bids are subject to confirmation
of qualification requirements by the ANP.
James F. Park, CEO of GeoPark, said: “GeoPark continues
to expand block by block in the most attractive proven Latin American hydrocarbon basins and cost-effectively assemble a unique
risk-balanced short-, medium-, and long-term inventory of exciting new growth projects.”
