This presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that VAALCO

expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements include expected capital expenditures, future

drilling plans, objectives and operations, prospect evaluations, negotiations and relations with governments and third parties, expectations regarding processing

facilities, reserve growth, estimated revenues and losses, and projected costs, timing and amount of future production. These statements are based on

assumptions made by VAALCO based on its experience perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it

believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond

VAALCO's control. These risks include, but are not limited to, oil and gas price volatility, inflation, general economic conditions, VAALCO's success in

discovering, developing and producing reserves, lack of availability drilling equipment and services, availability of and capital, environmental risks, drilling risks,

foreign operational risks, the existence of H2S in production, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of

production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and other risks. Additional information on risks and uncertainties that could

affect our business prospects and performance are provided in the most recent reports of VAALCO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These

forward-looking statements are based on VAALCO’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information

as to the outcome and timing of future events. VAALCO cautions you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual

results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. VAALCO disclaims any intention or obligation to update or

revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose 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. VAALCO uses the terms “estimated

ultimate recovery,” “EUR,” “probable,” “3P,” “possible,” and “non-proven” reserves, reserve “potential” or “upside,” “unrisked potential” or other descriptions of

volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that are not classified as proved reserves, may not have been

calculated as defined by SEC regulations and that the SEC’s guidelines may prohibit us from including in any future 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 being actually realized by the

company. VAALCO believes these estimates are reasonable, but such estimates have not been reviewed by independent engineers. Estimates may change

significantly as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates. Production

forecasts are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity.

Although VAALCO believes the forecasts are reasonable, VAALCO can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by

inaccurate assumptions and data or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

Market and industry data and forecasts used in this presentation have been obtained from independent industry sources as well as from research reports

prepared for other purposes. Although VAALCO believes these third-party sources to be reliable, VAALCO has not independently verified the data obtained from

these sources and VAALCO cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of the data. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from

these sources are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward looking statements in this presentation.

Due to significant fall in oil prices, re-evaluating project scope and design

Some options being considered:

Chemical removal Install facilities on existing structures Use of surplus equipment Potential to retrofit mobile drilling unit

Timing should be known as early as Q4 2015

Reserves associated with this project were booked prior to 2014

Reclassification of these reserves would not likely lead to an additional impairment

Remain committed to finding the most economic way to develop the reserve

Biography on Key Executives Mr. Guidry assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer for VAALCO Energy, Inc. on October 21, 2013. At that time, he was also appointed to our Board of Directors and became Chairman of the Board on June 4, 2014. Prior to joining VAALCO, Mr. Guidry was Vice President of Business Development for Marathon Oil Corporation since July 2011, where he was responsible for acquisitions of strategic opportunities for value growth. Mr. Guidry also held numerous executive management positions, including President of Marathon Oil Libya Limited from October 2008 to July 2011. Prior to the Libya assignment, he was Regional Vice President for Marathon Oil’s North American Production Operations. Mr. Guidry oversaw all of the company’s exploration and production activities onshore and offshore U.S. He also spent five years leading Marathon Oil’s Central Africa Business Unit, overseeing project expansions and operations in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Angola. Throughout his career, he has held challenging technical, staff and managerial positions in the company’s domestic and international production organizations. Mr. Guidry graduated from the University of Louisiana Lafayette in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, and served on the board of directors for the Corporate Council on Africa, the Independent Petroleum Association of America, the U.S. Oil and Gas Association and was a member of the Upstream Committee of the American Petroleum Institute. We believe Mr. Guidry’s strong operational background and experience, particularly in the international arena, is a valuable asset to our Board.

In October of 2008, Mr. Scheirman was appointed Chief Operating Officer following his overseeing of the planning, fabrication, and installation of the Avouma Field and Ebouri Field production platforms offshore Gabon. Mr. Scheirman continues to serve as President of VAALCO Energy, Inc., a position held since 1992. Mr. Scheirman served as Chief Financial Officer from 1991 to 2008.
