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 changes in long-term oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the
oil, gas, and petrochemical industries; reservoir performance; timely completion of development projects; war and other political or security
disturbances; changes in law or government regulation; the outcome of commercial negotiations; the actions of competitors; unexpected
technological developments; the occurrence and duration of economic recessions; unforeseen technical difficulties; 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, 2010 and our Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 available at our
website at www.transatlanticpetroleum.com and www.sec.gov. See also TransAtlantic’s 2010 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

information and opinions expressed herein are accurate, complete or current. The information contained herein is current as of the date hereof,

Barrels of oil equivalent, or Boe, 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 to 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.

Cash flow from operations before working capital changes, non-recurring other operating items, early termination of derivatives and adjustments for settlements 
of derivative financial instruments with a financing element are presented because management believes it is a useful financial indicator for companies in our 
industry. This non-GAAP disclosure is widely accepted as a measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund development and
acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends. Operating cash flow is not a measure of financial performance pursuant to GAAP and should not be used 
as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. We have also elected to exclude the adjustment for derivative financial 
instruments with a financing element as this adjustment simply reclassifies settlements from operating cash flows to financing activities. Management believes 
these settlements should be included in this non-GAAP measure to conform to the intended measure of our ability to generate cash to fund operations and
development activities. Non-recurring other operating items and early termination of derivatives have been excluded as they do not reflect our on-going 
operating activities.

This presentation references estimated EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents earnings
from continuing operations before income taxes, interest, depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment,
abandonment and exploration expense. 
The Company believes EBITDAX assists management and investors in
comparing the Company’s performance and
ability to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements on a consistent basis without regard to
depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of natural gas and oil properties and exploration expenses,
which can vary significantly from period to period.  In addition, management uses EBITDAX as a financial measure to
evaluate the Company’s operating performance.  EBITDAX is also widely used by investors and rating agencies.
EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.  Accordingly, it should not be considered as a
substitute for net income, income from operations, or cash flow provided by operating activities prepared in
accordance with GAAP.  Information regarding income taxes, interest, depreciation, depletion, amortization,
impairment, abandonment and exploration expense is unavailable on a forward looking basis. Net income, income
from operations, or cash flow provided by operating activities may vary materially from EBITDAX.  Investors should
carefully consider the specific items included in the computation of EBITDAX.  The Company has disclosed EBITDAX
to permit a comparative analysis of its operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies.
