Das Bergbauunternehmen ist seit Dezember 2020 nicht mehr an einer Börse gelistet. Das Delisting von TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. fand aufgrund einer Übernahme, einer Fusion oder eines Konkurses statt. Ein weiterer Grund kann die Änderung des Geschäftstätigkeitsfeldes sein, bei der zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt keine Bergbauaktivitäten mehr stattfinden.

Operational Update

The following summarizes the Company’s operations by location during the second quarter of 2017:

Southeastern Turkey

Exploration. The Company drilled the Cavuslu-1 well to a total depth of 11,350 feet for a drilling cost of approximately $1.7 million. The Company encountered two benches of Bedinan as well as Hazro and Mardin. The lower Bedinan began flowing high gravity oil and gas upon perforating. The Company is currently conducting tests to determine appropriate stimulation design. A map showing the new field discovery (outline based on seismic closure) is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/aa03d8e9-ae4d-47cc-9a88-cd1e3369c44d.

The Company drilled the Bahar-11 well, which was initially planned as a horizontal well but ultimately completed as a vertical well, to a total depth of 10,750 feet for a drilling cost of approximately $4.8 million. The Company encountered good quality sand with hydrocarbon shows in the primary target of the Bedinan, which tested at a rate of 120 Bopd. The Company also encountered Dadas sand, which tested at a rate of 30 Bopd. The Company is currently conducting completion and testing of the Hazro zone. The Company expects to comingle these completions and commence long-term production this month. The Company expects that additional Hazro and Mardin zones will be completed at a later date.

The Company drilled the Pinar-1ST well to a total depth of 11,650 feet for a drilling cost of approximately $2.0 million. The Company encountered two benches of Bedinan, the lower of which tested non-commercial amounts of hydrocarbons and the upper of which it expects to test in the third quarter of 2017. The Company also encountered Mardin and Hazro zones, which it expects to test at a later date.

Recompletions. In the Selmo and Arpatepe fields, several recompletions were executed, which resulted in incremental production of 275 Bopd for an estimated capital expenditure of $0.2 million. Additional recompletions are planned for the second half of 2017.

Facilities. The Company has also continued construction of an enhanced production facility in the Bahar field and the electrification of the field via natural gas-powered generation. The facility began operation in early August. Once fully commissioned, the Company expects an estimated 25% to 30% decrease in production expenses in the Bahar field.

Northwestern Turkey

The Company did not engage in any new drilling activities during the second quarter of 2017.

Bulgaria

The Company continues to evaluate its position in Bulgaria with updated geologic models and continues to market a joint venture exploration program for its assets in Bulgaria.

The Company’s 2017 year-to-date average daily sales have been approximately 3,550 Boepd; comprised of 3,320 Bopd and 1.4 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.

Discontinued Operations in Albania

On August 9, 2017, due to continued failures by the Company’s joint venture partners to timely meet their obligations, uncompleted local governmental ratifications, and the Company’s prioritization of funds, TransAtlantic Holdings B.C. Ltd. (“TransAtlantic B.C.”), a subsidiary of the Company, transferred its 25% equity interest in Delvina Gas Company Ltd. (“DelvinaCo”) to Delvina Investment Partners Ltd. in exchange for a release of all claims with respect to DelvinaCo and a cash payment of $300,000 for amounts owed to TransAtlantic B.C. under agreements entered into in connection with the DelvinaCo joint venture transaction. Additionally, TransAtlantic B.C. terminated all of its responsibilities as operator and its obligations to pay any operating costs or any other expenditures with respect to DelvinaCo. This divestiture completes the Company’s departure from all Albanian operations and assets.

Adjusted EBITDAX from continuing operations	$	6,756		$	9,357		$	10,089		$	16,113		$	18,661

Adjusted EBITDAX from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDAX”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest and other, net, current and deferred income tax expense, exploration, abandonment and impairment, seismic and other exploration expense, foreign exchange (gain) loss, share-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on commodity derivative contracts, cash settlements on commodity derivative contacts, accretion of asset retirement obligation, depreciation, depletion and amortization, loss on sale of TBNG, and net other items.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDAX assists management and investors in comparing the Company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion and amortization, and impairment of oil and natural gas properties and exploration expenses, among other items, which can vary significantly from period to period. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDAX as a financial measure to evaluate the Company’s operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income or income from continuing operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Net income or income from continuing operations may vary materially from Adjusted EBITDAX. Investors should carefully consider the specific items included in the computation of Adjusted EBITDAX.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains statements concerning the drilling, completion and cost of wells, the production and sale of oil and natural gas, the holding of an earnings conference call, and the issuance of an operations update, as well as other expectations, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions, and information about future events, conditions, results of operations, and performance that may constitute forward-looking statements or information under applicable securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements or information are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company and described in the forward-looking statements or information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, access to sufficient capital; 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 products; the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities; economic conditions in the countries and provinces in which the Company carries 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; renegotiations of contracts; political uncertainty, including actions by insurgent groups or other conflict; outcomes of litigation; the negotiation and closing of material contracts; and other risks described in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Note on BOE

Barrels of oil equivalent, or Boe, are derived by the Company by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“Mcf”) to one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume (“Bbl”), of oil. A Boe conversion ratio of six Mcf to one 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. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
