2.67x Total Debt / Equity (High leverage)
High
SEC-XBRL
interest_rate_sensitivity
20bp rate rise on ~$600M debt increases annual interest ~$1.2M; floating-rate exposure moderate, most debt is fixed senior notes
Inferred
Agent_Inference
geopolitical_supply_exposure
High intensity; OPEC+ supply decisions and Russia-Ukraine conflict drive price volatility.
Medium
GICS-commodity-overlay-v1
supply_chain_dependency
Colombia guerrilla/FARC disruption to pipeline infrastructure; Ecuador political instability affecting export routes
Inferred
Agent_Inference
international_expansion_readiness
High devaluation exposure: Colombian peso (~80% revenue), Ecuadorian USD-pegged (low risk), Peru sol (moderate); COP volatility primary risk
Inferred
Agent_Inference
geographic_footprint
Operations concentrated in Colombia (~80% revenue) and Ecuador; COP devaluation is dominant sovereign currency risk; USD functional currency partially hedges
Inferred
Agent_Inference
commodity_exposure_profile
High intensity; commodities: Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Refined Petroleum Products, Uranium, Steel (equipment); geopolitical: OPEC+ supply decisions and Russia-Ukraine conflict drive price volatility.
Medium
GICS-commodity-overlay-v1
vendor_lock_dependency_score
Ecopetrol pipeline infrastructure represents near-non-substitutable transport dependency for Colombian production; estimated >40% of logistics cost
Inferred
Agent_Inference
business_model_type_primary
Upstream oil and gas E&P; no material cloud infrastructure dependency; AWS/GCP termination would affect back-office only, not operations
Inferred
Agent_Inference
business_model_type_secondary
Asset-heavy hydrocarbon extraction; digital/cloud tools are non-critical; operational continuity would not be materially impaired by cloud provider exit
Inferred
Agent_Inference
switching_cost_profile
Minimal API coupling risk; company uses standard oilfield software (Petrel, Landmark); no proprietary third-party API lock-in identified
Inferred
Agent_Inference
howey_test_risk_index
Revenue from oil sales fails Howey Test; no common enterprise profit-from-others element; equity securities standard; Howey risk near zero
Inferred

High
Medium
GICS-regulatory-overlay-v1
data_sovereignty_risk
Minimal GDPR/CCPA exposure; B2B commodity seller with no consumer data collection; Colombian and Ecuadorian data law compliance is primary obligation
Inferred
Agent_Inference
antitrust_exposure_flag
Low antitrust risk; small-cap independent E&P with sub-1% global oil market share; no dominant market position in any jurisdiction
Inferred
Agent_Inference
regulatory_exposure_profile
High burden; regimes: EPA, FERC, DOE, CFTC, OSHA, SEC; Accelerating emissions mandates and methane rules threaten capex economics.
Medium
GICS-regulatory-overlay-v1
revenue_model_type
~100% transactional; revenue tied to spot/term crude oil sales at market prices; no subscription or multi-year fixed-price offtake contracts disclosed
Inferred
Agent_Inference
monetization_vector
Crude oil and natural gas sales at prevailing commodity prices; volumetric revenue model entirely dependent on production volumes and Brent/WTI pricing
Inferred
Agent_Inference
pricing_architecture
Price-taker model; realized price is Brent-linked minus quality/transport differential; no pricing power; stress scenario at $50 Brent threatens free cash flow
Inferred
Agent_Inference
pricing_power_rating
Near zero pricing power; commodity price-taker; differentiation only via cost structure (operating cost ~$12-15/boe) not price setting
Inferred
Agent_Inference
target_gross_margin_bracket
Gross margin ~55-65% at $75 Brent; highly sensitive to oil price with ~$1/bbl price move equating to ~$4-6M annual EBITDA impact
Inferred
Agent_Inference
churn_vulnerability_index
No free-rider leakage risk; physical commodity business with direct buyer contracts; offtake is fully captured revenue
Inferred
Agent_Inference
headcount_cost_structure
Headcount-sublinear growth; doubling production requires capital not proportional headcount; operational leverage exists via existing field infrastructure
Inferred
Agent_Inference
marginal_cost_of_growth
Incremental production growth capital-intensive (~$15-20/boe finding & development cost) but not headcount-driven; marginal cost governed by drilling capex
Inferred
Agent_Inference
franchise_compliance_risk
Not applicable; Gran Tierra operates no franchise network
Inferred
Agent_Inference
customer_acquisition_metric
At 10x scale, crude marketing to refiners remains commoditized; no meaningful CAC escalation but pipeline/export infrastructure becomes binding constraint
Inferred
Agent_Inference
network_effect_present
No network effects present; oil production value independent of number of producers or buyers on platform
Inferred
Agent_Inference
asset_efficiency_ratio
-14.7% Return on Assets (Negative equity)
High
SEC-XBRL
recession_resistance_tier
Low recession resistance; oil demand destruction in recession compresses Brent price, directly reducing revenue and potentially triggering covenant risks
Inferred
Agent_Inference
customer_segment_primary
State-owned and independent refineries purchasing crude oil under term and spot contracts; concentrated among few regional buyers
Inferred
Agent_Inference
customer_segment_secondary
International commodity trading houses (Trafigura, Vitol) acting as offtake intermediaries; top-3 buyers likely represent >70% of revenue
