During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule B hereto has been: (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement on January 25, 2013 (the “Joint Filing Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On January 14, 2013, certain of the Reporting Persons named therein (the “Purchasers”), the Issuer and Far East Energy (Bermuda), Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“FEEB”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The description of the Securities Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit B, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Subscription of Senior Secured Notes and Warrants

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to subscribe for and purchase from FEEB, and FEEB and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers,

Senior Secured Notes due 2016 of FEEB in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000 (the “Notes”) and 56,086,439 warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Issuer to purchase the number of Common Shares representing 15% of the Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis as of immediately after the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants (the “Closing”).

On January 15, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Purchasers subscribed for and purchased Notes and Warrants in the amounts set forth in Schedule C, which are incorporated herein by reference. The funds for the subscription price for the Notes and Warrants were obtained by the Purchasers from their general investment funds.

On the Closing Date, FEEB and certain other parties named therein entered into an Indenture, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, in respect of the issuance of the Note. The terms and provisions of the Indenture are incorporated herein by reference.

On the Closing Date, the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a warrant agent, entered into a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The description of the Warrant Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit D, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on December 31, 2017. Each Warrant will, subject to adjustment in accordance with its terms, be exercisable to purchase one Common Share at a price equal to $0.085. The Purchasers expect to obtain the funds for the purchase price payable upon the exercise of the Warrants from their general investment funds.

A Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Issuer, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Issuer.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Item 3 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 4.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Issuer and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto, pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to provide the Purchasers with certain registration rights in respect of the Warrants held by the Purchasers.

The Issuer has agreed to file, within 210 days following the Closing Date, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in respect of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

If, at any time, the Issuer files a registration statement with the SEC, the Purchasers will be entitled, subject to certain exceptions, to exercise “piggyback” registration rights requiring the Issuer to include in any such registration that number of Common Shares held by the Purchasers as the Purchasers may request, subject to certain prescribed limitations provided

in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Issuer may, on a limited number of occasions, and in certain prescribed circumstances, delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit E, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Although the Reporting Persons have no present intention to acquire securities of the Issuer other than the purchase of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, they intend to review their investment on a regular basis and, as a result thereof, may at any time or from time to time determine, either alone or as part of a group, (i) to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by them in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in the next paragraph of this Item 4. Any such acquisition or disposition or other transaction would be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each of the Reporting Persons specifically reserves the right to change its intention with respect to any or all of such matters. In reaching any decision as to its course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), each of the Reporting Persons currently expects that it would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Issuer’s business and prospects; other developments concerning the Issuer and its businesses generally; other business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries;

Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

Causing a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or

Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth in Items 3 and 4 are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Purchasers acquired the Warrants, which are exercisable to purchase 56,086,439 Common Shares, subject to adjustment. Each of the Reporting Persons is deemed to beneficially own the number of Common Shares set forth in Row (11) of the cover page in relation to such Reporting Person, representing the percentage of Common Shares set forth in Row (13) of such cover page. The Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, are deemed to beneficially own 56,086,439 Common Shares which, assuming the exercise of all the Warrants on the Closing Date, would represent 16.3% of the outstanding Common Shares.

The percentages of the Common Shares identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons are based on 344,785,689 Common Shares outstanding as of January 14, 2013 as provided by the Issuer.

Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule B hereto, (a) beneficially owns any Common Shares or has the right to acquire any Common Shares; (b) presently has the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the Common Shares which they may be deemed to beneficially own; and (c) has effected any transaction in the Common Shares in the 60 days preceding the date of this Schedule 13D.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 6.

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D or incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any Reporting Person or, to the best of their

knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule B hereto, or between any Reporting Person and any other person or, to the best of their knowledge, any person named in Schedule B hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
