Note 8     Commodity risk management contracts

The Group has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to oil price risk. These derivatives are zero-premium collars, fixed price or zero-premium 3-ways (put spread plus call), and were placed with major financial institutions and commodity traders. The Group entered into the derivatives under ISDA Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes, which provide credit lines for collateral posting thus alleviating possible liquidity needs under the instruments and protect the Group from potential non-performance risk by its counterparties. The Group’s derivatives are accounted for as non-hedge derivatives and therefore all changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts are recognized as gains or losses in the results of the periods in which they occur.

The following table presents the Group’s production hedged during the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the following periods as a consequence of the derivative contracts in force as of December 31, 2021:

(a)Vasconia Crude (Ice Brent minus Vasconia Differential)

Since 2020, the Group has entered into Vasconia-based derivative contracts, a new instrument within its hedging portfolio. These derivatives protect both the overall crude price exposure to ICE Brent as well as the Vasconia differential, which reflects the quality adjustment for the GeoPark’s Llanos Basin crude production in Colombia.
