GeoPark Limited said that the previously disclosed transaction to acquire a non-operated working interest in four unconventional blocks in Vaca Muerta, Argentina, has been terminated. The counterparty, Phoenix Global Resources, exercised its contractual right to withdraw from the agreement following the Outside Date of May 13, 2025, as defined in the original FarmOut Agreement.

Key Highlights:
