• Through GeoPark efforts, emissions intensity fell to 10.6 kg CO2e/boe in 2023, 18% lower than 2022 and 26% less than the baseline set in the GHG emissions reduction plan announced in November 2021.

• The improvement in the Llanos 34 Block, which supplies close to 7% of Colombia’s total oil production, reflected the first full year of interconnection to the national grid and resulted in an annual CO2e reduction of 100,000 metric tons

• Facilities mitigating methane emissions led to an additional 20,000 metric tons of CO2e reduction and a 9.9 MWp photovoltaic solar plant further decreased emissions by 5,000 metric tons of CO2e

GeoPark, a leading independent Latin American oil and gas explorer, operator and consolidator and Arpel member, announced the publication of its 2023 SPEED/Sustainability Report.
