Prepared Metrics

Q&A Batch (1-5 of 5)

Q1 — Joaquin Robet

• Topic: 2026 Vaca Muerta work program, CapEx, and funding
• Key points:
  • Production from both blocks is ~1,100 boe/d; 3 wells shut in for artificial lift, first operation done in 7.8 days, last in <3 days, total 10% faster than planned.
  • Target: 20,000 bbl/d from both blocks with 1 rig starting end of 2025, central processing facility ready by early 2027; interim options include connecting to neighboring operators with spare capacity.
  • Drilling commitments: 1 well for Puesto Silva Oeste due by 2028 (~$15 million); workover commitments in Loma Jarillosa Este already completed.
  • 2026 base-case CapEx: $50–$70 million, fully funded via existing $100 million credit lines in Argentina; longer-term options include oil prepayments and debt issuance.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — rapid operational improvements (10% faster workovers, $200k/month trucking cost reduction) and low commitments; funding secured with multiple financing tools.

Q2 — Felipe Bayon Pardo (addressing Eduardo’s questions)

• Topic: Q3 CapEx, infill drilling results, and cost reductions
• Key points:
  • Q3 CapEx was ~$17.5 million (1 rig); prior quarters ~$25–$27 million (2 rigs); Q4 ramping up with 2 rigs in Llanos 123 and a third for exploration in Block 104.
  • Infill drilling program in Llanos 34: 6 wells exceeded plan at 2,600 bbl/d; well costs $2.9 million each, 30% lower than last year.
  • Additional infill drilling in Llanos 34 to resume late December 2025 and into 2026.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — CapEx aligned with plan, infill wells outperforming, and significant cost reductions (30% per well) driving value.

Q3 — Rodrigo Fiore (addressing Eduardo’s questions)

• Topic: Exploration in Llanos blocks and CPO-5 commercial agreement with BP
• Key points:
  • Llanos 123: Currucutu well producing 400 bbl/d; drilling new well for northern Toritos extension (results by end of 2025); Toritos Este 1 testing started; Visvita south well drilling.
  • Llanos 104: Matraquero well under evaluation; second well (Vencejo) planned by end of 2025, results late 2025/early 2026.
  • CPO-5 deal with BP: covers ~6,500 bbl/d production, 12-month term from August 2025; enables export via Covenas (FOB) with blending optionality; includes $50 million credit line for oil prepayments at ~200 bps below market.
  • Commercial discount for these crudes: $4–$5/bbl vs. Brent; selling expenses increased due to transport costs, offset by better price capture.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — exploration results promising (Currucutu stable, Toritos Este promising); CPO-5 deal creates export optionality and financing at competitive terms.

Q4 — Stephane Guy Foucaud

• Topic: Regulatory anti-competition restrictions in Colombia
• Key points:
  • Colombia has competition rulings that must be considered for any deal; local requirements also apply.
  • Management declined to speculate on any specific deal (e.g., with Parex).
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — acknowledged regulatory framework exists but provided no specifics or directional view.

Q5 — Daniel Guardiola

• Topic: Risk-adjusted growth opportunities ranking between Argentina and Colombia
• Key points:
  • Question asked but no answer provided in the input.
• Mgmt stance: No response available in the input.
