Operational Update

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

Southeastern Turkey

Testing continued on the Bahar-11 well throughout the third quarter of 2017 in the Bedinan, Dadas, and Hazro formations. Commercial oil was discovered in all three formations with a combined test rate of 280 Boepd. The well was brought on production in October 2017.

Testing continued on the Cavulsu-1 well throughout the third quarter of 2017. The well flowed high API gravity hydrocarbon in two Bedinan benches. Testing will continue throughout the fourth quarter of 2017 to establish the potential of these intervals as well as up-hole potential in the Dadas, Hazro, and Mardin formations.

Operations on the Pinar-1ST well were temporarily suspended during the third quarter of 2017 due to priority repair and maintenance workover operations in the Bahar and Selmo fields. Testing will resume in the fourth 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.

Adjusted EBITDAX from continuing operations	$	7,288		$	6,756		$	12,838		$	23,401		$	31,499

Adjusted EBITDAX from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDAX”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net (loss) income 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, loss (gain) 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.

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.
