In short: The one Latin American name singled out: "some Latin American companies could benefit too. One possible beneficiary that Demichelis highlights is GeoPark, a Colombian oil company." The market took it hardest of any name in the piece — "GeoPark shares were up 13% on Monday," a small-cap regional operator repriced on a deal it is not party to.
GeoPark is a small Colombian oil producer — a fraction of the size of anything else in this article — and it isn't a party to the deal. What it has is the neighbourhood: regional operators know how to run fields in northern South America, and if Venezuela genuinely reopens to private capital, partners and operators with local experience become scarce and valuable.
That is a thin argument and the market paid a lot for it: the shares rose 13% in a day, six times Valero's move, on a mention rather than a contract. Understand what has been bought — the most speculative link in a chain whose first link (who funds the tens of billions?) is still empty. This is how policy headlines get expressed in small caps: fastest to price it in, and fastest to give it back if the deal stalls on legality, financing or term.
In short: The third Colombia independent on the same regime-change rerating list ("Ecopetrol, Parex… GeoPark, these type of companies"), inside his broader call that the Latin-American oil complex is an opportunity set being repriced right now.
GeoPark is an independent Latin American oil producer, historically partnered with Ecopetrol on Colombian blocks. It's the third name on the same list, and for the same single reason: a government that discouraged drilling has been replaced by one that doesn't, and companies whose entire value depends on being allowed to drill are the most leveraged to that change. Polomny's framing is that the market is already starting to pay for it.
41:39Well, I like Petrobras. I like the fact that we have a changing government in Colombia. So, it's probably worth taking another look at Ecopetrol, Parex, which is there also, GeoPark, these type of companies, okay? What's happening in the Vaca Muerta in Argentina, how that's exploding. Argentina is becoming an increasingly larger and larger oil exporter.
In short: Named as an independent Colombian oil operator "you might want to look at" alongside Ecopetrol's board change — a private E&P that has partnered with Ecopetrol and could benefit from a more resource-friendly government. A watch idea, not a recommendation.
GeoPark is an independent oil producer that operates in Colombia and has partnered with Ecopetrol. Polomny names it as one of the smaller, privately run operators that could benefit if Colombia's new government reopens the country to oil and gas investment — you get exposure to the same political turnaround without owning the state-run giant. He offers it as something "you might want to look at," not a buy call.
25:56Is it a buy? I don't know. There's probably other companies there like GeoPark, I think, is one. Parex is another one that you might want to look at. These are independent operators but they are going to be partnering — they have partnered in the past and will continue to partner with Ecopetrol, I think.
