$GPRK Told Sol about it over the weekend now it is flying! GeoPark Ltd. (NYSE: GPRK) is the public company that fits. It is Bogotá-based with its core operations and production in Colombia, and it is now the vehicle for a large Venezuelan oil push. bloomberg.com Colombian billionaire Jaime Gilinski and his family (Grupo Gilinski / Colden) became GeoPark’s largest shareholder in March 2026 with a ~$107 million investment that gave them roughly 20–28% and board seats. They explicitly viewed GeoPark as the platform to enter Venezuela’s reopening oil sector. bloomberg.com On August 28, 2026, Bloomberg and follow-on reports said the Gilinski group and GeoPark were close to (or finalizing) a deal to operate Venezuelan assets, specifically the Bare field in the Ayacucho area of the Orinoco Belt. That field holds large volumes of heavy and extra-heavy oil that declined due to underinvestment; the plan is technical recovery and production ramp-up. elnacional.com GeoPark has never produced in Venezuela before, so this would be a new entry rather than a return. The company has publicly called Venezuela an “emerging priority” and sent teams to evaluate basins and possible PDVSA joint ventures or production-sharing contracts after sanctions easing. Any deal still faces U.S. OFAC licensing questions, and neither GeoPark nor the Venezuelan side has issued a formal closing announcement as of the latest reports. bnamericas.com
