| In contrary, Perico is a much better well, producing 630 barrels of oil per day with less than 10% water cut |
| We also believe that the current market environment and financial health of the company provide ample headroom to execute this great investment while continuing to achieve our long-term goals |
| Thanks to the restoration of production from the Indico 6 and 7 wells in the CPO-5 block in September and boosted by the more than 5,500 new gross barrels added from our successful exploration drilling campaign, we were able to increase our fourth quarter production to an average of 38,400 barrels of oil per equivalent per day, which is 10% higher than the third quarter |
| Deliver more energy, more value, and more shared prosperity |
| Every dollar invested on our assets returned 2.3 times adjusted EBITDA, proving the quality of our asset base and consistent capital efficiency |
| GeoPark had a strong finish in 2023 where operational results during the fourth quarter allowed us to recover volumes, replenish 2P reserves, and build a healthier balance sheet |
| We're also having encouraging results in Ecuador with oil production being tested at Perico Norte 5 wells, which means four out of four successful wells in this new used sand play developed by our team |
| Looking ahead, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, we had encouraging results in our CPO-5 block with the Halcon 1 well and the Perico 1 well, both which tested oil, proving our team thesis of a potential continuation of the Tigana, Jacana oil play into the Northern part of the CP0-5 block |
| So although the production of the well is not what we wanted and what we expected compared to the logs, we know the oil is there, and we're really encouraged |
| That is also a significant improvement over our initial single-B rating back in 2018 |
| So it provides for a good margin environment for what's occurring now |
| The action plans resulting from this productive exercise will continue to make us a better company and a better partner for employees, neighbors, authorities, and investors |
| These were long-awaited results and we're excited and encouraged by these wells so far |
| So we're very excited about those results, and Halcon has an operational setback that we're discussing with the operator |
| Indico continues to be very flat and good production |
| Overall, what I would say in terms of the market is it's been a positive market |
| So that one is doing good |
| Talking about CPO-5, we're excited about the well that is coming Indico-3 |
| Since the first well, we improved drilling and completion time by 30% and cost by 40% |
| We continue to invest as one of our top priorities in our ESG plus that we call SPEED initiatives and efforts with great results and recognition, mainly on carbon intensity, as well as in governance |
| Our financial performance allowed us to continue returning cash to our shareholders with a 13% capital return yield or a $61 million balance between buybacks and dividends |
| We continue to assess other opportunities to grow and improve our underlying business performance |
| We have recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary of listening on the New York Stock Exchange, and we're thankful for the more than 2,000 shareholders and bondholders and the many others that have joined us in this journey and look forward to continuing delivering results over the next 10-years |
| These results also reflect lower operating and administrative costs and lower hedge losses |
| We're ready for and excited about our next 10-years on the New York Stock Exchange and thank you for your support and trust during this journey |
| And -- so it sounds like an interesting opportunity for a company like us |
| As part of our disciplined capital allocation process, our own shares are currently offer a unique opportunity for repurchase, which is why we announced our intention to commence a modified Dutch auction tender to buy up to $50 million of GeoPark shares, following our view that the current market value of GeoPark does not properly reflect the intrinsic net value of our assets |
| We ended the year with a significant cash position of $133 million, further illustrating our financial quality |
| So pretty stable |
| Thank you, and have a good day |

| For the full-year 2023, GeoPark generated $452 million in adjusted dividend, down 16%, compared to 2022, following lower prices and production |
| The base production decline is around 20% to 25% |
| Also, I don't think there was any exploration negative results in Q4 |
| So completion fluid was in the hole for about 30 days and through builders, we confirm that the well is damaged |
| This well compared to Perico has lower production, and I'll share a little bit what we're seeing |
| Our net leverage of 0.8 times was well below our long-term target of 1 times to 1.5 times adjusted EBITDA, and we have no principal maturities due until 2027 |
| These risks include a variety of factors, including competitive developments and risk factors listed from time-to-time in the company's SEC reports and public releases |
| What has happened in Halcon is that the well was drilled and completed, but the operator had about 30 days of delay to put the well on production |
