We recently published a list of Energy Stocks that are Losing This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where GeoPark Limited (NYSE:GPRK) stands against other energy stocks that are losing this week.
In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are losing this week.
President Donald Trump is seeking to lower energy costs for American consumers with a focus on the oil and gas sector, pushing the industry to increase production rapidly. However, industry executives have been nothing but skeptical of the President’s policies given the declining oil prices and the constant uncertainty regarding the administration’s tariff policy. The imposition of the 25% steel tariff has already led oil and gas companies to estimate a 4% increase in costs for drilling a well.
Moreover, the US is already the largest oil producer on the planet. The country’s oil and gas operators produced more than 13.49 million barrels of crude per day in December 2024, an all-time high rate of production. Increasing the production even higher means a further decline in prices, reducing the profits for producers and refiners. The spot price of the US benchmark for crude oil, West Texas Intermediate, is currently hovering just below $70, and analysts at S&P Global Commodity Insights expect WTI to average $66 per barrel in 2025. For comparison, the average WTI crude oil price for 2024 came in at $76.55.
That said, as of the writing of this piece, the broader energy sector has gained 7.5% since the beginning of the year, against a decline of around 3% by the wider market.

GeoPark Limited (NYSE:GPRK)
Share Price Decline Between Mar. 17 and Mar. 24: 6.06%
GeoPark Limited (NYSE:GPRK) is a Latin American oil and gas explorer, operator, and consolidator with assets and growth platforms in Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, and Brazil.
GeoPark Limited (NYSE:GPRK) recently reported mixed results for Q4 2024 as its EPS of almost $0.3 fell below expectations of $0.36. However, the company’s revenue of $143.7 million beat forecasts by $2.7 million. GPRK’s net profit for the full-year 2024 came in at $96.4 million, compared to $111.1 million in 2023. The decline was primarily due to the devaluation of the Colombian peso and the one-off expenses of $5.4 million associated with the offer to purchase certain Repsol assets in Colombia and the acquisition of assets in Vaca Muerta.
Overall, GPRK ranks 9th on our list of energy stocks that are losing this week.
