Rockhopper overview … building a well-funded, full-cycle, exploration led E&P company

  • Focused on the North Falkland Basin and Greater Mediterranean
  • Leading acreage holder in the Falklands
  • c.50% interest in 520 million barrel discovered and fully appraised Sea Lion oil field
  • Near field, low risk exploration upside of 207 million barrels (gross)
  • Significant additional discovered and low risk prospective resources in Isobel-Elaine

complex

  • Corporate costs largely funded by operating cash flow from Greater Mediterranean

portfolio

  • Recently completed production acquisition in Egypt
  • Estimated production of approximately 1,500 boepd during remainder of 2016
  • Low operating costs with limited future commitments

Following the merger with FOGL (completed in January 2016), Rockhopper has:

  • Consolidated its leading North Falkland Basin acreage position
  • Gained operatorship of licences PL003a, PL003b and PL005
  • Undertaken independent audit which confirms Sea Lion Complex gross

contingent resource – 517 mmbbl (2C), 900 mmbbl (3C basis)

  • Successful exploration campaign establishes viability of future phases of

development as well as significant near-field follow-on exploration
