statements are based on management’s knowledge and reasonable expectations on the date hereof, and we assume no duty to update these statements as of

The information set forth in this presentation does not constitute an offer, solicitation or recommendation to sell or an offer to buy any securities of the
Company. The information published herein is provided for informational purposes only. The Company makes no representation that the information and
opinions
expressed
herein
are
accurate,
complete
or
current.
The
information

is
current
as
of
the
date
hereof,
but
may
become
outdated
or
subsequently may change. Nothing contained herein constitutes financial, legal, tax, or other advice.
The SEC has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by
actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We may use the
terms
“estimated
ultimate
recovery,”
“EUR,”
“probable,”
“possible,”
and
“non-proven”
reserves,
“prospective
resources”
or
“upside”
or
other
descriptions
of
volumes
of
resources
or
reserves
potentially
recoverable
through
additional
drilling
or
recovery
techniques
that
the
SEC’s
guidelines
may
prohibit
us
from
including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to
substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the Company. There is no certainty that any portion of estimated prospective resources will be discovered.
If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the estimated prospective resources.
BOE
is
derived
by
converting
natural
gas
to
oil
in
the
ratio
of
six
thousand
cubic
feet
(Mcf)
of
natural
gas
to
one
barrel
(bbl)
of
oil.
Boe
may
be
misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner
tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Recent Highlights

Bahar-1 New Field Discovery
Oil and gas in Bedinan. Production inhibited by heavy drilling mud and packer failure.
Has produced oil and 1,200 btu natural gas during swabbing operations.
Shows also seen in Hazro, Mardin and Dadas.
First Horizontal Drilled Successfully
Alibey 1H drilled horizontally from previous vertical show well.
Logging operations concluded, well being completed.
Significant natural fracturing identified.
Viking Sale Closed, Outstanding Borrowings Reduced Significantly
Sale closed June 13, 2012.
As of June 30, 2012 the Company had outstanding borrowings on its credit facility of $32.8 million and cash
on hand of approximately $27.9 million.
Available borrowing capacity of $44.7 million.

Thrace Basin Frac Program: Play Concept & Strategy

Play Concept
Thick, stacked, blanket sands with significant gas in place.
Extensive well control from shallow production
Thermally
mature,
but
largely
untested,
source
rocks
provide
substantial
unconventional
potential
with
the
application of modern drilling and completion methods.
Assessment Strategy
1.
Prove rock is conducive to frac using low cost re-entries of existing shallow wellbores.
a.
Identify and test various zones (approximately 2,500-6,500 feet or 750-2,000 meters).
b.
Determine appropriate mix of fluid and horsepower.
c.
Test multiple zone completions.
2.
Test deeper potential and additional structures with new wellbores
a.
Identify and test deeper zones (approximately 5,000-13,000 feet or 1,500-4,000 meters).
b.
Test additional structures (Pancarkoy-1, Suleymaniye-2).
c.
Define opportunity set (number of productive zones, commingling potential, etc.).
3.
Test multi-stage vertical fracs
4.
Evaluate individual zone productivity for horizontal potential and test if/where applicable.
5.
Evaluate off-structure (stratigraphic) potential of blanket sands.

Selmo frac program planned for late
3Q12.
Conventional and unconventional
upside opportunities including large
shale play potential. Numerous large
anticlines identified.

Mardin, and Triassic targets.
Dadas Shale
Upper Silurian (Woodford equivalent)
Roughly equal in size to the Barnett.
Source rock for conventional fields.
Early work indicates oil, liquids and gas
windows. Evaluating second core.
