The earnings call presents mixed sentiments. Positive aspects include increased production and strong cash flow, with optimistic guidance for future growth. However, significant risks such as production disruptions and high debt levels pose concerns. The Q&A session did not reveal any additional critical issues, and management's clarity on debt reduction plans is reassuring. Given these factors, the overall sentiment is neutral, as positive growth prospects are balanced by potential operational and financial challenges.
Average Production 42,685 BOE per day in Q3 2025, up roughly 30% year-over-year. The increase was driven by the Canadian acquisition and exploration success in Ecuador. However, production was temporarily impacted by external events like a landslide in Ecuador and trunk line repairs at the Moqueta field group.
Current Production 45,200 BOE per day as of October 2025, showing recovery from earlier deferrals.
Operating Cash Flow $48 million in Q3 2025, up 39% from Q2 2025. The increase was attributed to improving differentials across South America, especially in Ecuador, which offset temporary facility downtime and pipeline outages.
Cash Position $49 million at the end of Q3 2025.
Net Debt Approximately $755 million at the end of Q3 2025.
Capital Investment $57 million in Q3 2025, focused on high-return projects in Colombia, Ecuador, and Canada.
Production in Cohembi Field Increased by 135% from 2,800 barrels to 6,700 barrels per day due to waterflooding. Total field production reached over 9,000 barrels per day, the highest since 2014.
Ecuador Production Achieved record production greater than 5,000 barrels of oil per day in August 2025 and greater than 6,000 barrels of oil per day in early October 2025, driven by the Conejo A-1 exploration well.
Ecuadorian crude production prepayment agreement: Gran Tierra closed a new prepayment facility backed by Ecuadorian crude production, with an initial advance of $150 million and potential for another $50 million upon reaching 10,000 BOE/day in Ecuador.
Conejo A-1 exploration well: Successfully tested both the Hollin and Basal Tena sands, flowing over 1,300 barrels/day of 26.9-degree API oil under normal natural flow conditions.
Conejo A-2 well: Discovered 41 feet of net reservoir with an average porosity of 14% in the Hollin formation, indicating high deliverability potential.
Chanangue-1 discovery: Confirmed a new oil discovery producing 600 barrels/day, opening new drilling opportunities on the eastern side of the block.
Canadian acquisition impact: Production increased by 30% year-over-year, driven by the Canadian acquisition and exploration success in Ecuador.
South American pricing improvements: Improved differentials in South America, especially in Ecuador, offset some temporary facility downtime and pipeline outages.
Production recovery: Production recovered to 45,200 BOE/day after temporary disruptions, with an expected exit rate of 47,000-50,000 BOE/day.
Waterflood optimization in Cohembi: Production in the northern area more than doubled to 6,700 barrels/day, with total field production reaching over 9,000 barrels/day, the highest since 2014.
Pipeline restoration: Pipelines impacted by landslides in Ecuador were restored by October 10, enabling deferred production recovery.
Focus on free cash flow and deleveraging: Shift towards free cash flow generation and debt reduction, supported by a diversified resource base.
2026 budget strategy: Planned decrease in capital expenditures with emphasis on free cash flow generation.
Production Disruptions: Temporary production disruptions due to a landslide in Ecuador and trunk line repairs at the Moqueta field group caused production shutdowns. Heavy rains delayed pipeline repairs, impacting production timelines.
Deferred Production: Production deferrals due to the above disruptions led to the company forecasting production at the lower end of its guidance range for the year.
Debt Levels: The company has a net debt position of approximately $755 million, which could pose financial risks if cash flow generation does not meet expectations.
External Challenges: Unusual and externally driven events, such as natural disasters (landslides and heavy rains), have impacted operations and could pose ongoing risks.
Capital Expenditures: High capital expenditures focused on exploration commitments may strain financial resources, though the company plans to reduce these in 2026.
Production Guidance: Forecasting the lower end of the production guidance range for 2025 due to temporary production deferrals. Expected exit rate of 47,000 to 50,000 BOE per day by year-end.
2026 Budget and Capital Expenditures: The 2026 budget will be released in mid-December, focusing on a decrease in capital expenditures and an emphasis on free cash flow generation.
Ecuador Production and Development: Plans to reenter Conejo A-1 well later this quarter to optimize long-term production. Completed all exploration commitments in Ecuador, transitioning to the development phase to sustain stable field output.
Cohembi Field Expansion: Executing a final 6-well drilling program to ramp up production and extend the Cohembi field boundary, including an exploration well to the north, expected to complete by the first half of 2026.
Canadian Operations: Drilled and brought 2 additional Lower Montney wells on stream in September, performing at or above expectations. 2025 activity at Simonette includes 4.0 gross or 2.0 net wells.

The earnings call presents mixed sentiments. Positive aspects include increased production and strong cash flow, with optimistic guidance for future growth. However, significant risks such as production disruptions and high debt levels pose concerns.

Given these factors, the overall sentiment is neutral, as positive growth prospects are balanced by potential operational and financial challenges.
The earnings call reflects a positive outlook with successful exploration and operational efficiency, a 5% production increase, and proactive debt management. Despite lower Brent prices, strong cost optimization led to a $20 million free cash flow. The Q&A confirms expected ramp-ups in key areas and positive developments in Azerbaijan. Share buybacks and debt reduction further enhance shareholder value. However, some uncertainty exists due to nondisclosure on asset sales and unclear management responses, but overall, the strong operational and financial performance suggests a positive stock price movement.
The earnings call summary presents a mixed picture. While there is positive news in terms of production growth and share repurchases, financial challenges persist with a net loss and high debt levels. The Q&A section reveals management's cautious approach to guidance and economic factors. The announcement of share buybacks and increased production is offset by financial and operational risks, leading to a neutral sentiment. Without market cap data, it's challenging to predict volatility, but the overall sentiment suggests limited stock movement in the short term.
The earnings call presents a mixed picture. Positive aspects include a share repurchase program, successful acquisition integration, and optimistic production guidance. However, there are concerns about increased operating costs, production challenges, and an 8% decrease in adjusted EBITDA. The Q&A highlights management's confidence but lacks detail on long-term impacts of LNG Canada Phase one. With no market cap data, the prediction remains neutral, considering both positive shareholder returns and operational risks.
