RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
GeoPark Holdings Limited ("GeoPark" or the "Company"), the Latin American oil
and gas exploration and production company with operations and producing
properties in Chile, Colombia and Argentina (AIM: GPK), is pleased to announce
its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2012.
Summary
During the first half of 2012, GeoPark achieved record growth in key
performance measures of oil and gas production, revenues, EBITDA and net
income. Continuous organic expansion, bolstered by new project acquisitions in
Colombia and Chile, are leading GeoPark in 2012 to a projected seventh
consecutive year of overall growth.
New Project Acquisitions Highlights
GeoPark's 1H2012 results have been complemented by key strategic developments
including:
· Colombian Platform Acquisition: GeoPark acquired a solid growth platform
in Colombia consisting of interests in 10 blocks with a balanced mix of
production, development and exploration opportunities, through two
acquisitions closed during 1Q2012, for a total consideration of US$105 million
plus possible contingent payments and working capital adjustments.
· Tierra del Fuego Operations Start-Up: GeoPark initiated works in the
recently acquired Tierra del Fuego Blocks in Chile (consisting of the Isla
Norte, Campanario and Flamenco blocks), through the registration of 289 sq km
of 3D seismic in the Flamenco Block. Preliminary interpretation of processed
data suggests hydrocarbon prospects that could allow drilling to begin in
1Q2013.
· Business Development: Along with its strategic partner, LG
International, GeoPark is continuing its efforts to build a risk-balanced oil
and gas asset portfolio throughout Latin America by acquiring oil and gas
properties and interests in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile.
Operational Highlights
· 87% Oil and Gas Production Increase: Total oil and gas production
increased 87% to 11,930 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in 1H2012
compared to 6,369 boepd in 1H2011. Crude oil production increased 377% to
7,473 barrels per day (bopd) in 1H2012 compared to 1,566 bopd in 1H2011, which
reflects an improvement in GeoPark's production balance towards oil, as well
as the incorporation of new production from Colombia. Total production for
2012 is now expected to average approximately 11 - 12,000 boepd, representing
an approximate 50% increase compared to 2011 total production. This revised
forecast represents a decrease from previous production estimates in April
2012 and is the result of issues integrating new acquisitions, tie-in delays
and flow rates from discoveries in Colombia being below initial expectations,
as well as lower than expected results from drilling activities in Chile.
· Drilling of 27 Wells: As described in GeoPark's Quarterly Operations
Updates, GeoPark drilled and/or participated in twenty seven new wells in
1H2012, including ten wells in Chile and seventeen wells in Colombia.
Currently, two wells are being drilled in Chile and one well being drilled in
Colombia. GeoPark's 2012 revised work program encompasses drilling 42-46 new
wells (gross) with a capital expenditure budget of approximately US$200-210
million.
· New Oil and Gas Discoveries in Colombia and Chile: From its exploration
drilling program in Colombia and in Chile, GeoPark made the following new
discoveries during 1H2012:
1. Max Oil Field / Block 34, Colombia (45% WI, GeoPark operated): Max 1 well
was GeoPark's first oil discovery in Colombia, and is currently on production
by electrical submersible pump (ESP) from the Guadalupe formation. An
appraisal well on Max will spud during 4Q2012.
2. Tua Oil Field / Block 34, Colombia (45% WI, GeoPark operated): Tua 1 well
was GeoPark's second discovery in Colombia, and is currently on production by
ESP from the Mirador formation. The Tua 2 appraisal well finished drilling
during September and is currently under completion. The Tua 3 development well
is expected to spud in 4Q2012.
3. Maniceño Oil Field / Block 32, Colombia (10% WI, GeoPark non-operated):
Maniceño was tested and put into production from the Mirador formation.
4. Azor Oil Field / Arrendajo Block, Colombia (10% WI, GeoPark
non-operated): Azor was tested and put into production from the Carbonera C5
formation.
5. Kosten Gas Field / Fell Block (100% WI, GeoPark operated), Chile: Kosten
1 was tested and put into production from the Springhill formation by natural
flow.
6. Kiuaku Gas Field / Fell Block, Chile (100% WI, GeoPark operated): Kiuaku
1 was tested and put into production from the Springhill formation by natural
flow.
· Seismic Surveys: In Chile, GeoPark carried out 67 km of 2D seismic in
the Otway and Tranquilo Blocks and 289 km^2 of 3D seismic in the Flamenco
Block in Tierra del Fuego. In Colombia, GeoPark carried out 111 km^2 of 3D
seismic work in the Llanos 62 Block.
· Unconventional Resource Potential Assessment: In Chile, GeoPark's
acreage position in the Magallanes Basin contains the Estratos con Favrella
shale formation which has previously tested and produced oil. GeoPark
initiated a program of diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs) on a
selection of six to eight wells on the Fell Block to determine the fracability
and reservoir properties of the shale. Preliminary results of this program are
expected in 4Q2012.
Financial Highlights
· Revenues Up 194%: Total revenues increased to US$122.7 million in 1H2012
from US$41.8 million in 1H2011, mainly as a result of a significant increase
in oil production. Oil revenues from Chilean and Argentinean operations
increased by 179% to US$68.9 million and Colombian operations incorporated
additional oil revenues for US$36.7 million. Oil revenues represented 86% of
total revenues.
· Adjusted EBITDA Up 241%: Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as
write offs and share based payments) increased to US$72.6 million in 1H2012
compared to US$21.3 million in 1H2011. In addition, cash flow from operating
activities in 1H2012 increased by 329% to US$71.6 million from US$16.7 million
in 1H2011.
· Netbacks Up 113%: Netback per boe produced increased to US$37.2 per boe
in 1H2012 compared to US$17.5 per boe in 1H2011 reflecting a higher weighting
of oil in GeoPark's production mix, as well as the incorporation of Colombian
operations into the portfolio.
· Net Income Up Significantly: Net income for 1H2012 increased to US$16.6
million, compared to nil reported for the 1H2011. The increase in net results
arose from an improvement in operating results which increased to US$38.9
million in 1H2012 (including US$8.3 million from our new Colombian operations)
compared to US$8.8 million in 1H2011.
· Total Equity Up 57%: Total Equity attributable to shareholders increased
to US$242.3 million in 1H2012 compared to US$153.8 million at the end of
1H2011.
· Cash Availability: GeoPark had US$66.3 million in cash and cash
equivalents at the end of 1H2012, with a liquidity ratio of 1.7x (current
assets divided by current liabilities), and total financial debt of US$154.9
million.
Outlook
GeoPark's active 2012 work and investment program of US$200-210 million in
Chile, Colombia and Argentina includes drilling 42-48 wells, with 15 - 21
wells planned for 2H2012 and producing 11,000-12,000 boepd.
Commenting, James F. Park, CEO of GeoPark, said: "GeoPark is on track for a
year of record growth -- both from existing assets and newly acquired
projects. Despite taking over the new Colombian properties within the first
semester, our team has been able to integrate the new companies, rapidly
initiate drilling and production operations and contribute important results
to our bottom-line already in the first half of 2012. We are encouraged by our
new projects and results in Colombia and look forward to further growth and
expansion. Drilling results in Chile did not match our historical track record
and consequently our growth rate in Chile was lower than expected. However, we
are looking forward to further exploration and development drilling results
during 2H2012 - as well as soon being able to begin operations on our new high
potential blocks in Tierra del Fuego".
In accordance with the AIM Rules, the information in this report has been
reviewed by Salvador Minniti, a geologist with 32 years of oil and gas
experience and Director of Exploration of GeoPark.

Segment Information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating
decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the strategic
steering committee. This committee is integrated by the CEO, Managing
Director, CFO and managers in charge of the Geoscience, Drilling, Operations
and SPEED departments. This committee reviews the Group's internal reporting
in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has
determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The committee considers the business from a geographic perspective.
The strategic steering committee assesses the performance of the operating
segments based on a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation, amortisation and certain non cash items such as write offs and
share based payments (Adjusted EBITDA). This measurement basis excludes the
effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments, such as
impairments when it is result of an isolated, non-recurring event. Interest
income and expenditure are not included in the result for each operating
segment that is reviewed by the strategic steering committee. Other
information provided, except as noted below, to the strategic steering
committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial
statements.

(a) Private placement of US$ 133,000,000 of Reg S Notes on 2 December 2010.
The Notes carry a coupon of 7.75% per annum and mature on 15 December 2015.
The Notes are guaranteed by the Company and secured with the pledge of 51% of
the shares of GeoPark Fell. In addition, the Note agreement allows for the
placement of up to an additional US$ 27,000,000 of Notes under the same
indenture, subject to the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
(b) The financing obtained in 2007, for development and investing activities
on the Fell Block, is structured as a gas pre-sale agreement with a six year
pay-back period and an interest rate of LIBOR flat. In each year, the Group
will repay principal up to an amount equal to the loan amount multiplied by a
specified percentage. Subject to that annual maximum principal repayment
amount, the Group will repay principal and interest in an amount equal to the
amount of gas specified in the contract at the effective selling price.
In addition on 30 October 2009 another financing agreement was signed with
Methanex Corporation under which Methanex have funded GeoPark's portions of
cash calls for the Otway Joint Venture for US$ 3,100,000. The loan has been
fully repaid during the current period. The purpose was to finance the
exploration, development and production of natural gas from the Otway Block.
This financing did not bear interest.
(c) Facility to establish the operational base in the Fell Block. This
facility was acquired through a mortgage loan granted by the Banco de Crédito
e Inversiones (BCI), a Chilean private bank. The loan was granted in Chilean
pesos and is repayable over a period of 8 years. The interest rate applicable
to this loan is 6.6%. The outstanding amount at 30 June 2012 is US$ 378,000.
During the last quarter of 2011, GeoPark TdF obtained short-term financing
from BCI. This financing is structured as letter of credit with a pledge of
the seismic equipment acquired to start the operations in the new blocks. The
maturity is May 2013 and the applicable interest rate ranging from 4.45% to
5.45%. The outstanding amount at 30 June 2012 is US$ 7,521,000.
(d) The Group has been granted with credit lines for approximately US$
28,000,000.
Note 9
Acquisitions in Colombia
In February 2012, GeoPark acquired two privately-held exploration and
production companies operating in Colombia, Winchester Oil and Gas S.A. and La
Luna Oil Company Limited S.A. ("Winchester Luna").
In March 2012, a second acquisition occurred with the purchase of Hupecol
Cuerva LLC ("Hupecol"), a privately-held company with two exploration and
production blocks in Colombia.
The combined Hupecol and Winchester Luna purchases (acquired for a total
consideration of US$ 105,000,000, adjusted for working capital, plus certain
possible contingent payments) provide GeoPark with the following in Colombia:
Interests in 10 blocks (ranging from 5% to 100%), with license operations in
four of them, located in the Llanos, Magdalena and Catatumbo Basins, covering
an area of approximately 220,000 gross acres.
Risk-balanced asset portfolio of existing reserves, low risk development
potential and attractive exploration upside.
2P oil reserves of approximately 10 million barrels and prospective oil
resources (unrisked) of 25+ million barrels (Company estimates).
Successful Colombian operating and administrative team to support a smooth
transition and start-up in Colombia together with Associations and JVs with
principal Colombian operators.
The purchase price allocation performed is preliminary as we have not had
sufficient time to complete the valuation process. There will be adjustments
to the estimated fair values as the valuation work is finalised, which we
expect to complete by the end of 2012.
In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition cost
was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
primarily upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We used
an income approach (being the net present value of expected future cash flows)
to determine the fair values of the mineral interest. Estimates of expected
future cash flows reflect estimates of projected future revenues, production
costs and capital expenditures based on our business model. The excess of
acquisition cost, if any, over the net identifiable assets acquired represents
goodwill.
The following table summarises the combined consideration paid for Winchester
Luna and Hupecol, the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed for these transactions:
Amounts in US$ '000 Total
Cash (including working capital adjustments) 111,584
Total consideration 111,584
Cash and cash equivalents 6,619
Property, plant and equipment (including mineral interest) 98,872
Trade receivables 9,981
Prepayments and other receivables 10,904
Deferred income tax assets 6,893
Inventories 8,838
Trade payables (16,003)
Borrowings (1,368)
Provision for other long-term liabilities (13,152)
Total identifiable net assets 111,584
Note 10
Agreement with Methanex
In March 2012, the Company and Methanex signed a third addendum and amendment
to the Gas Supply Agreement to incentivise the development of gas reserves.
Through this new agreement, the Company is undertaking a programme consisting
of drilling a minimum of five new gas wells during 2012. Methanex will
contribute to the cost of drilling the wells in order to improve the project
economics. As of 30 June, the Company has already fulfilled the minimum
drilling commitment for 2012.
Nota 11
Subsequent events
GeoPark Holdings Limited has executed a loan agreement with Banco Itaú BBA
S.A., Nassau Branch for US$ 37,500,000. GeoPark will use the proceeds to
finance the acquisition and development of the La Cuerva and Llanos 62 blocks.
These blocks represent two of the ten production, development and exploration
blocks, which GeoPark currently owns in Colombia (see Note 9).
The loan, which will have a maturity of five years, amortising from month 21
in 14 equal quarterly instalments, is ring-fenced by and secured against 100%
of the capital of GeoPark Llanos SAS, the owner of the La Cuerva and Llanos 62
blocks. Interest on the loan is accrued at market rates.
