FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Outlooks, projections, estimates, targets and business plans in this presentation or any related subsequent discussions are forward - looking statements . Actual future results, including TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd . ’s own production growth and mix ; financial results ; the amount and mix of capital expenditures ; resource additions and recoveries ; finding and development costs ; project and drilling plans, timing, costs, and capacities ; revenue enhancements and cost efficiencies ; industry margins ; margin enhancements and integration benefits ; and the impact of technology could differ materially due to a number of factors . These include 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 ; the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities ; economic conditions in the countries and provinces in which we carry 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, and renegotiations of contracts ; political uncertainty, including actions by insurgent groups or other conflict ; the negotiation and closing of material contracts ; shortages of drilling rigs, equipment or oilfield services ; and other factors discussed here and under the heading “Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2012 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2013 , which are available on our website at www . transatlanticpetroleum . com and www . sec . gov . See also TransAtlantic’s audited financial statements and the accompanying management discussion and analysis . Forward - looking statements are based on management’s knowledge and reasonable expectations on the date hereof, and we assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date . The information set forth in this presentation does not constitute an offer, solicitation or recommendation to sell or an offer to buy any securities of the Company . The information published herein is provided for informational purposes only . The Company makes no representation that the information and opinions expressed herein are accurate, complete or current . The information contained herein is current as of the date hereof, but may become outdated or subsequently may change . Nothing contained herein constitutes financial, legal, tax, or other advice . The SEC has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions . We may use the terms “estimated ultimate recovery,” “EUR,” “probable,” “possible,” and “non - proven” reserves, “prospective resources” or “upside” or other descriptions of volumes of resources or reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC’s guidelines may prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC . These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized by the Company . There is no certainty that any portion of estimated prospective resources will be discovered . If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the estimated prospective resources . Note on Possible Reserves : possible r eserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probably reserves . There is a 10 % probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves . Note on BOE : BOE (barrel of oil equivalent) is derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil . BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation . A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 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 . 2

PV - 10 RECONCILIATION 21 The PV - 10 value of the estimated future net revenue are not intended to represent the current market value of the estimated oil and natural gas reserves we own. Management believes that the presentation of PV - 10, while not a financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and natural gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes estimated to be paid, the use of a pre - tax measure is valuable when comparing companies based on reserves. PV - 10 is not a measure of financial or operating performance under U.S. GAAP. PV - 10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as defined under U.S. GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of our PV - 10 to our standardized measure: $US millions Total PV - 10: $592.5 Future income taxes: (122.9) 1 Discount of future income taxes at 10% per annum: 30.9 1 Standardized measure: $500.5 Note: Final PV - 10 reconciliation will be appear in the Company’s annual report on Form 10 - K. 1 TransAtlantic Petroleum is not a U.S. domiciled corporation.
