FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
2
Outlooks, projections, estimates, targets and business plans in this presentation or any related subsequent discussions are forward-looking statements.
Actual future results, including TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd.’s own production growth and mix; financial results; the amount and mix of capital expenditures;
resource additions and recoveries; finding and development costs; project and drilling plans, timing, costs, and capacities; revenue enhancements and cost
efficiencies; industry margins; margin enhancements and integration benefits; and the impact of technology could differ materially due to a number of factors.
These include market prices for natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil products; estimates of reserves and economic assumptions; the ability to produce and
transport natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil; the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities; economic conditions in the countries
and provinces in which we carry on business, especially economic slowdowns; actions by governmental authorities, receipt of required approvals, increases
in taxes, legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to fracture stimulation activities, changes in environmental and other regulations, and renegotiations of
contracts; political uncertainty, including actions by insurgent groups or other conflict; the negotiation and closing of material contracts; shortages of drilling
rigs, equipment or oilfield services; and other factors discussed here and under the heading  “Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2012 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which are available on our website at
www.transatlanticpetroleum.com and www.sec.gov. See also TransAtlantic’s audited financial statements and the accompanying management discussion
and analysis. Forward-looking 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 any future date.
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 contained herein 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 actually being 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 (barrel of oil equivalent) 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.

SELMO REMAPPING
13
Selmo Overview
Extensive work has been done to remap and model
Selmo to identify bypassed oil due to the extremely
fractured nature of the field
New dynamic model incorporates updated substructure
mapping with production and pressure histories to
determine the areas of the field that will most benefit
from a horizontal drilling campaign
We believe horizontal wellbores will allow pressure
drawdown that is more uniform across the length of the
wellbore and prevent water coning or premature
breakthrough of water
2013 budget provides for four horizontal wells in the
Middle Sinan Dolomite (MSD) and one horizontal well
in the Lower Sinan Dolomite (LSD)

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Constructive Outlook
Horizontal and multi-stage completions have potential to
significantly increase production and improve economics from
known oil and natural gas deposits
More fields are present than originally believed (Goksu, Bahar
and Yildirim)
Expect improvements in drilling efficiency to improve well
economics and increase well count
JV would accelerate development
Incremental production will largely fall to bottom line without
significant increase in G&A or LOE
20
Strong Fundamentals
Very good pricing and netbacks
Terms remain favorable in Turkey and Bulgaria
Ramping up drilling activity to increase production
Newly acquired properties offer additional prospects

Adjusted EBITDAX from continuing operations
$19.5
This presentation references estimated EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure that represents earnings from continuing operations before income
taxes, interest, depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment, abandonment
and exploration expense.  
The Company believes EBITDAX assists management and investors in
comparing the Company’s performance and ability to fund capital expenditures
and working capital requirements on a consistent basis without regard to
depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of natural gas and oil
properties and exploration expenses, which can vary significantly from period to
period.  In addition, management uses EBITDAX as a financial measure to
evaluate the Company’s operating performance.  EBITDAX is also widely used
by investors and rating agencies.
EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.  Accordingly, it
should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income from operations,
or cash flow provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Net income, income from operations, or cash flow provided by operating activities
may vary materially from EBITDAX.  Investors should carefully consider the
specific items included in the computation of EBITDAX.  The Company has
disclosed EBITDAX to permit a comparative analysis of its operating
performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies.


PV-10 RECONCILIATION

Future income taxes:
(106,411)
Discount of future income
taxes at 10% per annum:
31,213
Standardized measure:
$435,880
The PV-10 value of the estimated future net revenue are not intended to represent the current market value of the estimated oil and natural gas
reserves we own. Management believes that the presentation of PV-10, while not a financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides
useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and natural gas
companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes estimated to be paid,
the use of a pre-tax measure is valuable when comparing companies based on reserves. PV-10 is not a measure of financial or operating
performance under U.S. GAAP.
PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as defined under U.S. GAAP.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our PV-10 to our standardized measure:
