GeoPark Appoints Felipe Bayon as Chief Executive Officer
BOGOTA, Colombia, April 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GeoPark Limited ("GeoPark" or the "Company") (NYSE: GPRK), a leading independent energy company with over 20 years of successful operations across Latin America, announces the appointment of Felipe Bayon as its new Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, effective June 1, 2025. This appointment follows the decision of Andrés Ocampo to step down for personal reasons. Mr. Bayon is recognized as one of the most effective energy executives in Latin America with more than three decades of accomplishments in the international oil and gas industry. From 2017 to 2023, Mr. Bayon was CEO of Ecopetrol (NYSE:EC), one of the most important energy groups in Latin America, where he led 18,000 employees, oversaw production of approximately 700,000 boepd and revenues of over $30 billion, and delivered record financial, operational, and safety results. He is a proven and disciplined dealmaker who brought Ecopetrol into the unconventional Permian Basin in the U.S. in partnership with Oxy — a project that grew from 0 to ca. 150,000 bpd gross in 4 years — into the Brazilian ultra-deep water pre-salt play in partnership with Shell, as well as into a leading position in the Latin American power transmission sector and focused investments in renewable energies, water management, and nature-based climate solutions. Mr. Bayon is a mechanical engineer who began his career in 1991 with Shell in field operations and projects and then moved to BP where he worked for 21 years in increasingly important operational and management roles in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, the U.S. and the U.K., including his tenure as CEO of Pan American Energy, one of the leading private hydrocarbon producers in Argentina, from 2005 to 2010. Mr. Bayon has served on multiple Boards of Directors across the energy, utilities, education, and technology sectors. Andrés Ocampo has been an invaluable contributor to GeoPark through more than 15 years of service and helped take the Company from its modest beginnings to its current respected reputation and leadership position in the region. Mr. Ocampo, who served as CEO for three years and CFO for more than eight years will continue to support the Company and ensure a seamless handover. Sylvia Escovar, Chair of GeoPark's Board of Directors, said: "On behalf of the Board, we want to thank Andres for his long-time dedication and significant contribution to the Company which has solidly positioned us for future expansion." Ms. Escovar continued: "The Board is very pleased to welcome Felipe Bayon to GeoPark. We believe he will be a catalyst to unlock the abundant opportunities in our region and drive us to transformational growth. Felipe is a true explorer, operator, and consolidator — in line with GeoPark's founding vision — and is committed to taking us forward to achieve our long-term strategic goals and make GeoPark into a larger, stronger, and more successful Company. As he has done consistently in his career, we are confident Felipe will deliver exceptional value to our shareholders, employees, communities, and stakeholders. Felipe brings deep, first-hand knowledge and experience of the assets, basins, markets, and players that shape our business across the regions where we operate, setting the stage for a smooth and swift transition. Most importantly, Felipe has the character, heart, and energy that will strengthen and enhance GeoPark's unique culture of trust, respect, and teamwork across the organization — a key driver of our past success and our future promise." Andrés Ocampo said: "It's been a privilege and joy to be part of the GeoPark story for all these years. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with and learn from so many exceptional people, and proud of what we have achieved together. As a long-term shareholder, I believe Felipe is the right CEO to lead us into the future. Welcoming such an accomplished leader marks an important step forward as we enter our next powerful chapter of growth." Felipe Bayón said: "I am excited and honored to join the GeoPark team and to have the opportunity to lead its long-term commitment to further expand its scale, capabilities, bottom-line results, and work to create the model for a successful international independent energy company of the future. There are significant opportunities, the support is strong, and the team is ready to run. My thanks to the GeoPark Board and Management for their trust in me and their relentless resolve to build a great company."

Experts Just Completed an Ancient Buddha Statue
An archaeological excavation team was shocked to find a fully intact Buddha torso statue from the 12th or 13th century measuring 3.75 feet tall. The torso find at a Cambodian temple matches a Buddha head discovered at the same location... in 1927. The two discoveries were made about 164 feet and almost 100 years apart. While excavating the Ta Prohm temple in Angkor in 1927, a team of archaeologists discovered the head (and only the head) of a Buddha statue. They then brought their find—which has been dated to the 12th or 13th century—to Cambodia's National Museum in Phnom Penh, where it has sat by itself for nearly 100 years. Ninety-eight years after their early-20th-century peers, another group of archaeologists were working at the temple complex when they made a discovery of their own. While sifting through 29 statue fragments, they discovered something far larger than a fragment: a 3.75-foot-tall Buddha torso statue in the Bayon art style, dated to the 12th or 13th centuries and curiously missing its head. You can see where this is going, right? If it seems too good to be true, an optical electronic scan confirmed the separate pieces were a match, according archaeologist Neth Simon (as reported by the Associated Press). 'It was a big surprise when we unearthed this sculpture because all we'd found so far were small pieces,' Simon said. The statue's torso was crafted with a robe and sash, carved jewelry, and a left hand crossing the chest—'an uncommon representation in Khmer (Cambodian) art.' As fascinating as the find would have been on its own, it stands a head taller thanks to the reunification possibilities with the 1927 discovery. The recently discovered torso was found just 164 feet from where the statue's head was found 98 years before. Naturally, the archaeological team plans to seek approval from the Minister of Culture and Fine Art to reunite the two pieces. Angkor, a 154-square-mile UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered one of the most important archaeological locations in southeast Asia, and is the largest religious monument in the world, according to Angkor Enterprise. The Angkor Archaeological Park features the remains of different capitals of the Khmer Empire—which stretched from the ninth century to the 15th century—as well as the famed Temple of Angkor Wat and a host of other temples. The entire site comes with sculptures aplenty (many of them with bodies intact). Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple and dedicated to the god Vishnu, but it gradually shifted to become a Buddhist temple by the end of the 12th century. The best-preserved temple at the site, it has remained a significant religious center since its foundation, and the high classical style of Khmer architecture gives it a distinct design—one that even adorns the Cambodian national flag. But Angkor Wat isn't the only temple attracting attention, even as it serves as the flagship to the other sites at the complex. The Ta Prohm temple is believed to have been built in the late 12th and early 13th century, according to Tourism Cambodia. Known as the 'jungle temple' because of the trees and roots growing out of its walls, the temple was founded as a Buddhist monastery and university. The site has been largely left in its original condition, thanks to the trees intertwining with the ruins. Fans of the 2001 film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider might know it as the filming location at which Croft, played by Angelina Jolie, picks a jasmine flower growing from the temple wall before a chasm in the earth opens, pulling her into the temple (that part was, for the sake of Ta Prohm, shot on a soundstage). The Angkor complex attracts roughly one million international tourists annually as the most sought-after tourist spot in Cambodia. The nature of the area as a population center filled with temples makes it especially alluring for archaeologists. Making a 1927 discovery new again with the possibility of connecting the two pieces? Well, that's a special treat. 'As an archaeologist,' Simon said, 'I would be really happy.'

Missing torso of Buddha statue found at Cambodia's Angkor temple complex
By Euronews with AP According to archaeologists, the head of the same statue was dug up in 1927 and is now in Cambodia's National museum in the capital Phnom Penh. The two parts may be reattached for display. ADVERTISEMENT Archaeologists in Cambodia are celebrating an unexpected find at the country's centuries-old Angkor temple complex: the torso of a statue of Buddha that matches a head found nearly a century ago at the same site. The torso, believed to be from the 12th or 13th century, stands at 1.16 meters tall and is in the Bayon art style, associated with Angkor's Bayon temple. It was found along with 29 fragments that appeared to be part of the same statue, archaeologist Neth Simon said this week. Headless statue excavated by archaeologists at the Angkor temple complex in Cambodia's Siem Reap province Apsara National Authority via AP 'It was a big surprise when we unearthed this sculpture because all we'd found so far were small pieces,' Neth Simon told AP. She described the statue's design as displaying carved jewelry and robe and sash, with a unique left-hand gesture across the chest — 'an uncommon representation in Khmer (Cambodian) art.' The head of the same statue was dug up in 1927 and is now in Cambodia's National museum in the capital Phnom Penh Apsara National Authority via AP The statue's presumed head was discovered at the same temple in 1927 during the French colonial era, and is currently kept at Cambodia's main National Museum in the capital Phnom Penh. Neth Simon said the torso was found about 50 meters away from the site where the head was discovered, and that an optical electronic scan confirmed they were a match. A near-complete reconstruction of the status is possible, Neth Simon added, now that only the right hand of the statue remains missing. Her team will ask the Minister of Culture and Fine Art for approval to reattach the head and body of the sculpture to make it whole for public display. The Angkor site sprawls across some 400 square kilometers, containing the ruins of capitals of various Cambodian empires from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Scholars consider it to be one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. The site is Cambodia's most popular tourist attraction and in 2024 attracted about a million international tourists, according to Cambodia's Tourism Ministry.
