Geographical Segment Reporting
The Company divides its business into four geographical
segments-Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina-that correspond to
its principal jurisdictions of operation. Activities not falling
into these four geographical segments are reported under a separate
corporate segment that primarily includes certain corporate
administrative costs not attributable to another segment. For the
six month period ended June 30, 2013, the Chilean segment
contributed US$82.9 million, or 51.5%, of GeoPark revenues, the
Colombian segment contributed US$77.2 million, or 48.0%, of
revenues and the Argentine segment contributed US$0.7 million, or
0.5%, of revenues.
In the description of results of operations that follows, the
"Other" operations reflect non--Chilean and non--Colombian
operations, primarily consisting of Argentine, Brazilian and
corporate head office operations.
In 2012 the Company has accounted for the results of its
operations in Colombia since the acquisition dates which occurred
during the first quarter of 2012. Including the Colombian
acquisitions on a proforma basis (i.e. for the whole of the first
quarter), Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA would have been US$24
million and US$8 million higher during the first quarter of 2012,
respectively.
The following table summarizes certain financial and operating
data.

Net revenue increased 31.8% to US$160.8 million (1H 2013:
US$122.0 million)
The increase in net revenue is explained by:
-- An increase of US$60.6 million in oil deliveries
-- An increase of US$1.9 million from the realized price for gas sold;
partially offset by:
-- A decrease of US$8.1 million in gas deliveries, and
-- A decrease of US$15.6 million from the realized price for oil sold.
Net revenue attributable to the operations in Chile decreased by
2.9% to US$82.9 million, representing 51.5% of total consolidated
revenues (1H2012: US$85.3 million; 69.9% of total consolidated
revenues).
Sales of crude oil increased by 16.4% to 883 mbbl (1H2012: 758
mbbl), mainly due to new discoveries in Tobifera formation. This
was partially offset by (i) a decrease in the average realized
prices per barrel of crude oil of US$8.2 per barrel, or 9.1%, to
US$81.4 per barrel (1H2012: US$89.6 per barrel), of which US$2.8
per barrel was attributable to oil quality discounts and the
remaining to WTI variation, and (ii) a reduction in Chilean gas
sales in an amount of US$6.1 million, or 35.7%, to US$11.0 million
(1H 2012: US$17.1 million). The lower gas sales resulted from
reduced drilling activity for gas prospects, as we focused on oil
prospects and the temporary shutdown in the Methanex Plant, where
GeoPark delivers its gas. During the shutdown, which started at the
end of April 2013, the Company delivered to Methanex a reduced
volume of gas of approximately of 11.5 mmcfpd. The Company has been
informed by Methanex that the plant will reassume activities by the
end of September 2013.
Net revenue attributable to the operations in Colombia was
US$77.2 million, representing 48.0% of total consolidated revenues
(1H2012: US$36.0 million; 29.5% of total consolidated
revenues).
Sales of crude oil increased by 199% to 906 mbbl (1H2012: 303
mbbl), due to the development of the Max and Tua fields and the
discoveries of the Tarotaro and Potrillo fields. This was partially
offset by a decrease in the average realized prices per barrel of
crude oil from US$107.9 per barrel to US$79.7 primarily as a result
of a change in the Company's commercial strategy whereby the
Company had been historically delivering all its Colombian
production at Coveñas, while in 2013 the Company started selling
part of its production at the wellhead. Consequently the selling
price has been reduced and the transportation costs (Selling
Expenses) have been reduced by a similar amount. In addition the
Vasconia marker decreased 32% in 1H 2013 in respect of 1H2012.

Production costs increased 48% to US$81.1 million (1H2012:
US$54.7 million), primarily as the result of the incorporation of
full six months of the Colombian operations into the Company's
results, which resulted in revenue mix to be 93.2% oil and 6.8%
gas.
Operating costs per boe increased to US$10.5 per boe (1H2012:
US$8.1 per boe). This increase was driven by an increase in well
and facilities maintenance, primarily pulling costs increase of
US$1.5 million recorded therein and the continuing change in
revenue mix (particularly influenced by the Methanex shutdown) from
gas to oil, which has higher production costs than gas. In the
first six months of 2013, the revenue mix for Chile was 87% oil and
13% gas, whereas for the same period in 2012 it was 80% oil and 20%
gas.
Operating costs in Colombia increased 106% primarily due to the
increase in production. However, operating costs per boe in
Colombia decreased to US$24.7 per boe (1H2012: US$36.6 per boe),
with the increased production resulting in a dilution of fixed
costs.

write--offs of unsuccessful efforts in an amount of US$11.8 million
(one well in the Fell Block for US$3.6 million, one well in the
Tranquilo Block for US$1.1 million, seismic and others in Otway
Block for US$ 4.1 million, and three wells in Colombia for US$3.0
million), as compared to US$8.5 million (two wells in the Fell

.............................. 7,658 7,981 (323) (4)
Selling expenses decreased 4% to US$7.7 million (1H2012: US$8.0
million), primarily due to oil sales in Colombia taking place at
wellhead, which reduces transportation costs but also reduces
selling prices for similar amounts. Lower prices offset higher
volumes sold. In the Chilean operations, selling expenses were 6%
lower compared to the same period of the prior year. In 2012 in
Chile selling expenses included penalties associated with the
'deliver or pay' clauses in the gas sales agreement.
Net Financial Results
Financial loss increased 180% to US$20.6 million (1H2012: US$
7.3 million), due to the accelerated amortization of debt issuance
costs incurred in connection with the redemption of the Notes due
2015 in an amount of US$8.6 million following the issuance of the
Notes due 2020 in the six--month period ended June 30, 2013, the
incorporation of a full six months of Colombian operations in the
first six months of 2013 and higher interest expenses generated by
the issuance of the Notes due 2020 in an amount of US$ 3.8
million.

Income tax decreased 35% to US$7.1 million (1H2012: US$10.9
million). The effective tax rate was 33% (1H2012: 30%). The
effective tax rate was influenced by the incorporation of full six
months of the Colombian operations in GeoPark's results, which are
subject to a higher tax rate than the other operations, and the
non--recurring tax exempted bargain purchase gain on acquisition of
subsidiaries.

Production
Average net production increased 12% to 13,020 (boepd) for 2Q
2013. In Colombia, total oil production increased 99.5% to 6,157
bopd and in Chile, total oil production increased 11.8% to 4,595
bopd. The gas production in Chile decreased 50% to 13,248 mcfpd.
The lower gas production resulted from reduced drilling activity
for gas prospects, as the drilling activities were focused on oil
prospects and the temporary shutdown in the Methanex Plant.
Net Revenue

=============================== ================================================
Change, 2Q
(in thousands of US$, except 2013 vs. 2Q

Other 287 291 (4) -1%
Total 71,032 70,670 (362) 1%
The increase in net revenue is explained by:
-- An increase of US$ 16 million in oil deliveries;
-- An increase of US$ 1.1 million from the realized sales prices for gas sold;
Partially offset by:
-- A decrease of US$4.8 million in gas deliveries, and
-- A decrease of US$12.0 million from the realized sales prices
for oil sold primarily as a result of the change in the commercial
strategy whereby the Company had been historically delivering all
its Colombian production at Coveñas, while in 2013 the Company
started selling part of its production at the wellhead.
Consequently the selling price has been reduced and the
transportation costs (Selling Expenses) have been reduced by a
similar amount.

Other 1,140 246 894 363%
Total 42,834 35,306 7.528 21%
Production costs were 21% higher in 2Q 2013 compared to 2Q 2012.
The main driver for this increase was the increase in oil
production of 49%.
In Chile, operating costs (production costs less depreciation
and royalties) per boe increased 35% to US$ 10.7 per boe (2Q2012:
US$ 7.9 per boe). This increase was driven by an increase in well
and facilities maintenance, primarily pulling costs and the
continuing change in revenue mix from gas to oil, which has higher
production costs than gas.
In Colombia, operating expenditures per boe decreased 31% to US$
25.1 per boe (2Q2012: US$ 36.3 per boe), due to an increase in
production which resulted in a dilution of fixed costs.

Other (4,989) (3,122) -1,867 60%
Total 34,362 36,021 (1,659) -5%
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5% or US$ 1.7 million as consequence
of a reduction of US$ 3.4 million in the Chilean Adjusted EBITDA
influenced by lower gas sales and the startup of the Tierra del
Fuego operations and an increase of US$ 1.9 million related to
corporate expenses (mainly higher costs associated with new
business developments) and the start-up of Brazilian operations.
Both effects were partially offset by an increase of US$ 3.7
million in the Colombian Adjusted EBITDA.

million in Tierra del Fuego, mainly for the seismic program)
compared to US$ 15.7 million for 2Q 2012. In Colombia, capital
expenditures amounted to US$ 27 million for 2Q 2013 compared to US$
20 million for 2Q 2012.
STRATEGIC HIGHLIGHTS
Risk-Balanced Entry into Brazil
1) Acquisition of Interest in Manati Producing Gas Field
On May 15, 2013, GeoPark announced it had agreed to acquire Rio
das Contas, which holds a 10% working interest in the
shallow--depth offshore Manati Field in the Camamu--Almada Basin,
from Panoro Energy for a total cash consideration of US$140.0
million, subject to certain purchase price and easement
adjustments. The Manati Field, which is operated by Petrobras, the
Brazilian national company, is the largest non--associated gas
field in Brazil and produces approximately 9% of the gas produced
in Brazil. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and the second
quarter of 2013, net production to Rio das Contas was approximately
3,677 boepd and 3,884 boepd, respectively, from the Manati Field.
In the year ended December 31, 2012, Rio das Contas generated net
income of approximately US$23.2 million and revenues of
approximately US$51.1 million.
The Rio das Contas acquisition will provide GeoPark with a
long--term off--take contract with Petrobras that covers
approximately 75% of net proved gas reserves in the Manati Field, a
valuable relationship with Petrobras and an established geoscience
and administrative team to manage the assets and to seek new growth
opportunities.
The closing of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions,
including approval by the Brazilian National Petroleum, Natural Gas
and Biofuels Agency ("ANP") and the Brazilian antitrust
authorities. This is expected to occur during the second half of
2013.
2) Award of Seven Exploration Licenses
On May 15, 2013, following an invitation for bids from the ANP,
GeoPark announced it had been awarded, in an international bidding
round, seven new concessions in Brazil, in the following
basins:
-- Recôncavo Basin in the State of Bahia: REC--T 94 and REC--T 85 Concessions; and
-- Potiguar Basin in the State of Rio Grande do Norte: POT--T
664, POT--T 665, POT--T 619, POT--T 620 and POT--T
663Concessions.
GeoPark's winning bids are subject to confirmation of approval
requirements and entry into concession agreements with the ANP,
which is expected to occur in 3Q2013. GeoPark has committed to
invest a minimum of US$ 15.3 million (including bonuses and work
program) during the first three years of the exploratory period.
The new concessions cover an area of approximately 54,850 gross
acres.
