Message to Shareholders
Gary Guidry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra, commented:
'We are very pleased to announce that Gran Tierra achieved several Company financial records in 2022. Our excellent performance last year was driven by our successful results from our development and exploration drilling, waterflooding programs, field performance, and disciplined cost management combined with strong oil prices. Our many 2022 achievements resulted in year-over-year production growth of 16%, strong reserves replacement ratios well above 100%, and the highest annual figures in the Company's history for net income, funds flow from operations and free cash flow. We believe our success on multiple fronts during 2022 demonstrates Gran Tierra's ability to be a full-cycle oil and gas exploration, development and production company focused on value creation for our stakeholders.
We have started 2023 strong with year-to-date average production of approximately 32,300 bopd, which is within our previously announced 2023 guidance range. Our 2023 Acordionero and Costayaco development drilling programs are now underway, while the Moqueta development drilling campaign that we started in fourth quarter 2022 is continuing. We continue to focus on the development of our existing assets, appraisal of new discoveries that we made last year and new exploration drilling, while generating free cash flow to strengthen our balance sheet and return capital to shareholders through share buybacks.
In addition, our 'Beyond Compliance Policy' continues. Where Gran Tierra identifies significant opportunities and benefits to the environment and communities, we voluntarily strive to go beyond what is legally required to protect the environment and provide social benefits because it is the right thing to do. We are very proud of the Company's track record in all aspects of our environmental, social and governance stewardship.'
