FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
GEOPARK ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 OPERATIONAL UPDATE
DISCIPLINED EXECUTION SUPPORTS SOLID CORE ASSET PERFORMANCE
DRILLING STARTS IN VACA MUERTA SUPPORTING NEXT PHASE OF GROWTH
Bogota, Colombia – April 23, 2026 - GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPRK), a leading independent energy company with over 20 years of successful operations across Latin America, announces its operational update for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 (“1Q2026”).
GeoPark delivered a solid operational start to 2026, with production from its continuing operations in Colombia and Argentina increasing versus 4Q2025 and performing above plan, confirming the inflection point achieved in 2025. In Colombia, successful waterflooding performance in the Llanos 34 Block, solid base production in the CPO-5 Block despite temporary blockades, and appraisal activity in the Llanos 123 Block supported the quarter. In Argentina, the Company initiated drilling activities in the Loma Jarillosa Este Block and continued advancing key infrastructure upgrades.
Oil and Gas Production and Operations
| · | 1Q2026 consolidated average oil and gas production of 27,249 boepd |
| · | Excluding the Ecuador and Brazil assets divested after 4Q2025, production from Colombia and Argentina increased 1% versus 4Q2025 and was above plan, reinforcing the production inflection achieved in 2025 |
| · | 9 rigs in operation (4 drilling and 5 workover) |
| · | 4 wells drilled and completed in 1Q2026 in Llanos 34 (GeoPark operated, 45% WI) and Llanos 123 Blocks (GeoPark operated, 50% WI) |
| · | Strong Health & Safety and Process Safety performance, with zero LTI, TRI, TIER 1, and MVCs1 |
Llanos 34 Block: Secondary Recovery and Development Activity Support Base Production
| · | 1Q2026 average production of 15,734 boepd net (34,964 boepd gross), 2.5% lower than 4Q2025, reflecting natural decline, temporary operational disruptions, and a delay in the drilling and workover campaign, partially offset by strong secondary recovery performance |
| · | Workover campaign resumed in March and is expected to be accelerated for the remainder of 2026 |
| · | Waterflooding projects continued to deliver strong results in 1Q2026, contributing 6,535 boepd gross, or 18.7% of total production in the block |
| · | Polymer flooding project continued to advance according to plan, with injection starting in December 2025 in two patterns and additional patterns coming up in 2026 |
CPO-5 Block: Production Above Plan but Impacted by Temporary Blockades
| · | 1Q2026 average production of 6,109 boepd net (20,363 boepd gross), 7.7% lower than 4Q2025, mainly impacted by temporary blockades affecting operations during February. Blockades have since been resolved. Despite these disruptions, 1Q2026 production came in 16% above plan |
| · | Development and exploration drilling activity will start at the end of April. GeoPark continues working with the operator to advance upcoming activity and mitigate the impact of temporary operational disruptions |
Argentina: Loma Jarillosa Este Advances Drilling and Infrastructure Upgrades
| · | 1Q2026 average production of 1,430 boepd gross, driven by Loma Jarillosa Este (GeoPark operated, 100% WI) |
| · | Initiated drilling of the remaining 3 of 5 lateral sections of Pad-1030, which had been partially drilled by the previous operator. The first two wells reached their respective target depths on April 1, 2026, and April 15, 2026 |
1 LTI = lost time injuries; TRI = total recordable injuries; Tier 1 = Tier 1 process safety events; MVCs = motor vehicle crashes.
| · | Executed a second artificial lift installation campaign in 3 wells, reducing total shut-in time by 10 days versus the previous intervention |
| · | Initiated construction of the first stage of the expansion of the Loma Jarillosa Este gathering station to 10,000 bopd capacity from 6,000 bopd, as well as adding water disposal and gas treatment facilities |
| · | Public hearing for the Loma Jarillosa Este environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) successfully held on April 15, 2026 |
Llanos 123 Block: Base production and Bisbita waterflooding drive production growth
| · | 1Q2026 average production of 3,118 boepd net (6,236 boepd gross), 13% higher than 4Q2025 mainly driven by positive base production performance and the Bisbita waterflooding project results |
| · | Bisbita Norte-1ST1 development well reached total depth in March 2026 and is currently under evaluation |
| · | Bisbita Sur-1ST2 development well is currently awaiting testing |
Putumayo: Platanillo Continues Producing in Current Price Environment
| · | 1Q2026 average production of 859 boepd in the Platanillo Block2 (GeoPark operated, 100% WI), supported by the current price environment and operational efficiencies |
| · | GeoPark continues producing in the field while preserving flexibility for future capital allocation decisions |
Upcoming Catalysts 2Q2026

| - | CPO-5 Block: Drilling 1 development well in the CPH field, close to the Jacana Field |
| - | Argentina: Fracking of a 5-well pad. Additionally, drilling 1 water disposal well and 1 monitoring well, while finalizing the tender process for a dedicated drilling rig for factory mode execution |

| - | Llanos 86 Block (GeoPark operated, 50% WI): Drilling 1 exploration well |
Other – Market Conditions
Unusually volatile market conditions prevailed in 1Q2026, including material movements in Brent, regional differentials, and specific disruptions in Ecuador.
Brent averaged $77.9/bbl in the quarter. Prices were in the low $60s/bbl in January, rising into the low $70s/bbl by late February before accelerating sharply in March amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
In line with the above, Vasconia differentials widened to approximately -$9.0/bbl at the weakest point of the quarter before recovering and stabilizing at -$1.0/bbl in March, averaging -$6.0/bbl in 1Q2026 versus -$3.0/bbl in 4Q2025. Medanito and Oriente followed a similar trajectory, with early-quarter weakness followed by material recovery.
In aggregate, GeoPark’s combined realized price was $60.4/bbl in 1Q2026, versus $54.8/bbl in 4Q2025, reflecting stronger Brent prices and the recovery in differentials toward quarter-end, despite a $7.0/bbl impact from hedges and earn-outs.
Additional detail on pricing, differentials, hedges and others will be provided in GeoPark’s 1Q2026 results release and accompanying Supplementary Information.
2 GeoPark Colombia S.A.S. holds 100% ownership of Amerisur Exploración Colombia Limited, which is the official contractor and operator of the block.
