Transformational Frontera Acquisition
Completed $725 million acquisition of Frontera adding ~37,000 BOE/day of production, materially increasing reserves and scale. Transaction expected to drive synergies (marketing, tax) and enable more efficient capital allocation across the portfolio.
Expanded Partnership with Ecopetrol (Magdalena)
Entered agreement to earn 50% in Casabe and Llanito via $250 million gross capital commitment over 5 years with no upfront cost. The mature Magdalena fields currently produce ~15,000 barrels/day and offer upside from EOR, waterflood optimization and development drilling.
Significant Pro Forma Production Scale
Upon completion of transactions, pro forma average production expected to be 82,000 to 91,000 BOE/day (nearly doubling corporate production) with a land position exceeding 7.9 million acres and a deeper, long-life reserves inventory.
Strong Exploration Execution and Cost Efficiency (Block 111)
Drilled 6 exploration wells (Block 111) with 4 positive results; one well in initial production at ~1,500 b/d. All 6 wells delivered on budget at approximately $2 million all-in vs typical ~$6 million per well — an approximate 65% reduction in exploration well costs driven by streamlined design and fast rig execution.
Robust Q1 Funds Flow and H1 Guidance
Q1 FFO was $114 million ($1.18/share) despite nonrecurring items. Second-half guidance (post-transactions) on a $90 Brent assumption: FFO netbacks ~$30–$33/BOE; half-year FFO expected $475–$525 million with CapEx $275–$295 million, illustrating strong cash-generating profile of transformed business.
Successful Capital Markets Execution
Raised $500 million of notes due 2031 at 8.5% priced at par and strongly oversubscribed, indicating investor support and market confidence in the combined company.
Operational Upside in Putumayo and VIM-1 Gas Asset
Putumayo operations progressing (Orito multilateral pilot nearly ready to test). VIM-1 La Belleza 3 well logged successfully; expected pipeline and sales next year with potential to be a strong, low-decline cash generator (plans to start gas blowdown and sales in 2H 2027).
