Commenting, James F. Park, CEO of GeoPark, said: “In addition to our record production levels and solid financial results, our successful 2014 work program resulted in significant growth in our underlying oil and gas reserve asset base. This substantially increased both our near and long term value – and further demonstrated the oil-finding capabilities of our team and quality of our blocks and assets. Much of our new growth came from continued expansion of the low risk, low cost and high netback Tigana and Tua oil fields discovered and operated by GeoPark in the Llanos 34 Block in Colombia, and which provide a secure production base during periods of oil price volatility. Overall, our sizable 2P reserve base (120+ MMBOE) mixed with our growing exploration resource potential (500 – 1,000 MMBOE) in five countries gives GeoPark one of the more attractive independent company project portfolios in Latin America.”
