Disclosure Of Commitments [Abstract] |
Commitments | Note 33 Commitments 33.1 Royalty and economic rights commitments 33.1.1 Royalty In Colombia, royalties on production are payable to the Colombian Government and are determined on a field-by-field basis using the level of production sliding scale detailed below: ​
​ | ​ | ​
Average daily production in barrels | ​ | Production Royalty rate
Up to 5,000 | ​ | 8%
5,000 to 125,000 | ​ | 8% + (production - 5,000) * 0.1
125,000 to 400,000 | ​ | 20%
400,000 to 600,000 | ​ | 20% + (production - 400,000) * 0.025
Greater than 600,000 | ​ | 25%
​ The production royalty rate depends on the crude quality. When the API is lower than 15°, the payment is reduced to the 75% of the total calculation. In Chile, royalties are payable to the Chilean Government. In the Fell Block, royalties are calculated at 5% of crude oil production sold and 3% of gas production sold. In the Flamenco Block, Campanario Block and Isla Norte Block, royalties are calculated at 5% of oil and gas production sold. In Brazil, the Brazilian National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) is responsible for determining monthly minimum prices for petroleum produced in concessions for purposes of royalties payable with respect to production. Royalties generally correspond to a percentage ranging between 5% and 10% applied to reference prices for oil or natural gas, as established in the relevant bidding guidelines (edital de licitação) and concession agreement. In determining the percentage of royalties applicable to a concession, the ANP takes into consideration, among other factors, the geological risks involved and the production levels expected. In the Manati Block, royalties are calculated at 7.5% of gas production. 33.1.2 Overriding royalty GeoPark is obligated to pay an overriding royalty of 4% and 2.5%, respectively, to the previous owners of the Llanos 34 and CPO-5 Blocks, based on the production and sale of hydrocarbons discovered in the blocks. During 2022, the Group has accrued US$ 34,032,000 (US$ 22,562,000 in 2021 and US$ 14,018,000 in 2020) in relation with these overriding royalty agreements. Furthermore, there are overriding royalty agreements in place from 1.2% to 8.5% of the net production in the Andaquies, Coati, Mecaya, PUT-8, PUT-9, Tacacho and Terecay Blocks. Since they are exploratory blocks with no production during 2022, these agreements had no impact on the Group’s results. 33.1.3 Economic rights According to each E&P contract, the Colombian National Hydrocarbons Agency (“ANH”) has an economic right, offered by the operator at the moment of the ANH bid. This economic right, which is based on the production of the block after royalty discount, is equal to 1% in the Llanos 34 and Llanos 32 Blocks, 23% in the CPO-5 Block and 0% in the Platanillo Block. When the accumulated production of each field, including the royalties’ volume, exceeds 5,000,000 of barrels and the WTI price exceeds certain price level previously determined, the Group should also deliver to ANH a share of the production net of royalties in accordance with a formula defined in each E&P contract, which basically depends on the WTI price and the crude quality. 33.2 Capital commitments During 2022, the Group incurred investments of US$ 55,245,000 to fulfil its commitments, at GeoPark’s working interest. ​ 33.2.1 Colombia The future investment commitments assumed by GeoPark, at its working interest, are up to: ​
