Company Overview Bowleven – Finding Resources & Securing Acreage Current team has drilled 8 wells since joining in early 2007. • Busiest and most successful Operator in Cameroon. • Succeeded in opening up Douala Basin and discovering oil on acreage previously considered as gas prone. Multiple discoveries made – all wells encountered hydrocarbons. • Wells have been targeted to maximise value – oils and rich gas. • † Drill locations have also been considered in context of the desire • to maximise the area of retained prospective acreage. Extensive additional 3D seismic acquired (Block 6, 4C OBC etc). • 5 FEBRUARY 2012 CREDIT SUISSE ENERGY SUMMIT

Gas Handling – The Key to Monetising Resources Etinde resources are predominately gas-associated liquids. • In order to realise the value of Bowleven’s existing discoveries, • finding a solution for the associated gas is key. In common with nearly all African countries, Cameroon has only • a small but rapidly expanding market for gas. Until very recently Cameroon Government had a strong • preference for any Cameroon gas, including Etinde gas, to be earmarked for use in aggregated LNG (GdF) scheme. Whilst gas sales to a third party is clearly preferable it is not a • pre-requisite to development as alternative “in house” solutions exist. Commercialising gas is a key objective of the work programme • that has been agreed by the JV for 2012. Production will provide the cashflow base for ongoing • development – plus further exploitation of the existing extensive prospect inventory. 8 FEBRUARY 2012 CREDIT SUISSE ENERGY SUMMIT
