Company overview - strategy & business plan

Strategy

• Short term focus on maturing/ commercialising current asset portfolio

• Identify hydrocarbon provinces/ countries with the potential for major reserve additions without direct competition from major oil companies

• Build material portfolio in 3 core areas – MENA and FSU

• Replicate transactions in a province/ country to build critical mass

• Leverage relationships and utilise intrinsic technical skills of indigenous employees to access these opportunities

• Realise value by bringing in partners to fund exploration/ appraisal/ development minimising call on equity and focusing investment on production

Algeria assets - Hassi Ba Hamou

History:• Awarded in 6th Bid Round May 2005. In August 2006, Gulf Keystone signed an agreement with BG Group

which completed in December 2006. Under the agreement, BG acquired 49% of Gulf Keystone’s interest in Hassi Ba Hamou and assumed the role of operator

• GKP negotiated a $30 MM carry, a cash consideration of $55 MM and an additional deferred consideration contingent upon commercial reserves

• GKP’s carry was used to fund GKP’s share of the 2D and 3D seismic programmes in 2007

Success to Date:• 2047 km 2D seismic have been acquired across large parts of the block and 533 sq km of 3D seismic

across the HBH field / discovery

• A 6 well program (Phase 1) commenced on 16th December 2007 and completed in January 2009

HBH-4, HBH-5 and HBH-6 field appraisal wells completed and flowed gas successfully at between 9.5 mmscfd and 12.9 mmscfd

RM-1 discovery well tested gas at a rate of 8.7 mmscfd

• The partners have elected to go into Phase 2 which requires 1 exploration well, 2 appraisal wells and 500 sq km of seismic in addition to the current Phase 1 work and 30% of original area relinquished

RM-2 spudded on the 2 February 2009

Kurdistan assets - Kurdistan region of Iraq

• The Kurdistan Region of Iraq is located in the North eastern part of Iraq

• Region is approx 400 km x 120 km in size

• Limited oil & gas activity in last 30 years

• Significant discontinuity – sanctions, wars

• Many un-drilled surface structures

• In the Kurdish Region of Iraq there have been less than 30 wells drilled up until (until the recent entry of DNO / TTOC)

• Multiple surface structures are evident from mapping in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq 300 km

Kurdistan assets - geochemical sampling

• Maturity increases towards the NW

• Lowest maturity samples seem to occur in isolated area (Aqra type section)

• Biodegradation pattern less clear

– Is it related to sample type/location?

– Surface vs. subsurface sample?

– Solid vs. liquid sample?

• Degree of biodegradation may increase moving southwards?

• All samples indicate a Marine Carbonate source type

• Source predicted to be Jurassic

Key investment considerations

• High impact assets located in 2 world class hydrocarbon provinces

• Full cycle portfolio• Production - targeting 800

bopd net

• Development – HBH gas field targeting first gas in 2012/ 2013 with gross resources of 0.7 tcf *

• Exploration -Algeria• RM-1 discovery

Kurdistan• Shaikan and Akri-Bijeel

PSCs located in a potential prolific hydrocarbon basin

Attractive Asset Base Material Near-Term Upside PotentialStrategic Advantage

Algeria• RM-1 discovery in HBH could

significantly increase current resource size

• Active drilling schedule through to Q1 2009

Kurdistan• Shaikan exploration well currently

planned to be drilled in H1/09 targeting a billion reservoir bbls or more*

• Akri-Bijeel exploration well currently planned to be drilled in H2/09

• Proven management and board relationships provide access to business development

• Algerian and Kurdistan subsidiaries operated by local management with local knowledge

• Success on current asset base will enable portfolio growth to third core area

World class acreage and reserves position with significant upside potential
