Etinde: Additional Resource through Appraisal Drilling

• IM-5 well opened the Intra-Isongo play.

• Seismic response correlates with thick, reservoir quality

sands, identifying significant potential:

• Extent of discovered reservoir horizon.

• Additional Intra Isongo targets above and below

Intra Isongo IM-5 reservoir.

• Appraisal drilling programme will also target this

additional resource potential:

• Down-dip extension from IM-5 crestal location.

• Additional stacked targets at the Intra Isongo level.

• Locations nearing finalisation.

• 2 wells targeting combined 1-2 tcf of additional GIIP

at P90 level depending on reservoir connectivity.

Zingana

• Drilled to 1720m MD, on trajectory.

• Encountered all prognosed reservoirs.

• Acquired planned wireline log suite.

• Identified log-evaluated hydrocarbon pay in all but one reservoir.

Moambe

• Drilled to 1769m MD, on trajectory.

• Encountered all prognosed reservoirs.

• Additional reservoirs also encountered.

• Acquired planned wireline log suite, confirming geological model.

• Hydrocarbon pay (gas) confirmed in B sand from logs and reservoir

sample.

• Potential pay encountered in two additional sands.

Forward Plan

• Extended well testing underway; focus on shallower reservoirs.

• Initial indications: Moambe 4-5 mmscfd on development.

• Testing of Zingana to follow Moambe.

• Evaluation of deeper reservoir potential.

* Moambe well trajectory projected

onto section, actual location 2km ENE

of Zingana surf ace location.

Kenya

Source: Bowlev en

• Significant acreage ~14,200km2 in highly prospective East African

Rift system; high level of industry activity with multiple oil discoveries to the south (Lokichar Basin) and pipeline plans in motion.

• FTG acquired. Logistical issues / security concerns prohibited

seismic activity pre-expiry of first exploration phase.

• 12 month extension awarded to 26 May 2016 by Kenyan authorities.

• Luangwa Valley Karoo basin total area ~42,000 km².Five blocks

applied for: Three blocks awarded (25, 28 and 29) ~16,250km²

and applications for two blocks pending (26 and 27).

• Previous exploration 1980’s (Placid) acquired 3,000km 2D

seismic and drilled 2 wells (primary objectives were never

reached).

• Four year exploration period. Minimum committed work

programme estimated ~$500k.

• Access to a further $80 million consideration via $40 million (net) carry for two Etinde appraisal wells and $40 million staged cash receipts.

• $15 million on completion of wells (or end Sept 2016).

• $25 million at Etinde FID.

• Funded for planned activity:

• Bomono EWT underway (in success case targeting near-term production).

• Appraisal drilling on Etinde anticipated 2016 (net share drilling/testing covered by carry).

• G&A reduced to ~$1.0 million (gross) per month (previously

$1.5 million); further reduction initiatives being implemented.

• As Group progresses towards development alternative

funding options will be considered (e.g. project debt,

development bank finance).

• Protect balance sheet strength and ensure a capital-

disciplined approach to opportunity consideration.

Conclusion

• Strong balance sheet following completion of Etinde

farm-out.

• Balanced portfolio with near term focus on existing asset

base.

• Fully funded for planned activity:

• Extended well testing programme on Bomono.

• Initial development at Bomono in event of

successful testing

• Appraisal of the extensive Intra Isongo reservoir

interval on Etinde (carried).

• Results of planned drilling on Etinde and testing at

Bomono will determine future capital requirements.

• Protect balance sheet strength with a capital-disciplined

approach to opportunity consideration.

• Heads of Terms announced with Aminex on potential

acquisition of licence interests in Tanzania.

Within the next 12 to 18 months

Bowleven anticipates

participation in two potentially

significant appraisal wells at

Etinde and in the event of

successful testing at Bomono

could also deliver a home grown

revenue stream.
