General & Disclaimer

Except as the context otherwise indicates, “Neptune” or “Neptune Energy”, “Group”, “we,” “us,” and “our,” refers to the group of companies comprising

Neptune Energy Group Midco Limited (the Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments. “EPI” refers to the business of

ENGIE E&P International S.A. (now renamed Neptune Energy International S.A.) and its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

This presentation includes the results of the acquired EPI business consolidated since 15 February 2018, which is the acquisition date as that is when

Neptune acquired control over EPI. Equivalent data for Neptune for the corresponding reporting period ended 30 June 2017, starting when the Company

was incorporated on 22 March 2017, are generally not informative, as the Company had minimal activity at the time, principally comprising only minor

administration expenses. Therefore, in respect of certain measures, including production, EBITDAX and capital expenditure, we have provided additional

approximate pro forma information relating to the acquired EPI business, to enable a comparison of the results for the full six months ended 30 June

2018 (including the period prior to our acquisition on 15 February) with those for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

In this presentation, unless otherwise indicated, our production, reserves and resources figures are presented on a basis including our ownership share

of volumes of companies that we account for under the equity accounting method, in particular, for the interest held in the Touat project in Algeria through

a joint venture company.

The discussion in this presentation includes forward looking statements which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject

to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to materially differ from those expressed or implied by the forward looking

statements. While these forward-looking statements are based on our internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs as at the

date of such statements or information, including, among other things, assumptions with respect to production, future capital expenditures and cash flow,

we caution you that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect and no assurance can be given that our

expectations, or the assumptions underlying these expectations, will prove to be correct. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this

presentation speak only as of the date of such statement or the date of this presentation.

Unless otherwise indicated, all production figures are presented on a net entitlement basis. Where gross amounts are indicated, they are presented on a

total basis—i.e., the actual interest of the relevant license holder in the relevant fields and license areas without deduction for the economic interest of our

commercial partners, taxes or royalty interests or otherwise. This presentation presents certain production and reserves related information on an

“equivalency” basis. Our conversion of oil and gas data into barrels of oil equivalent may differ from that data used by other companies.

This presentation contains non-GAAP and non-IFRS measures and ratios that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, any generally

accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or IFRS. These non-IFRS and non-GAAP measures and ratios may not be comparable to other similarly titled

measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our

operating results as reported under IFRS or GAAP. Non-IFRS and non-GAAP measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance or liquidity

under IFRS or GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or profit from continuing operations or any other performance

measures derived in accordance with IFRS or GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.

1. Production for the six months to 30 June 2018 pro forma for EPI from 01 Jan 2018

2. Production for this period relates to the post acquisition period only, from 15 February 2018 to 30 June 2018. Average daily production is therefore calculated over 136 days, in order

to provide data comparable with other periods. Production of Neptune for 2017 was nil

3. Liquids include oil, condensate and other natural gas liquids

4. Realised other liquids (excluding oil) price of $45.4/bbl in H1 2017, $43.9/bbl in H1 2018 and $43.7/bbl in 15 Feb – 30 June 2018

Hedging

Hedging update

Weighted Average Swap & Put prices (1,2,3)

1. Oil price hedges include hedges of realisations for gas production sold as LNG and pricing in relation to oil prices

2. Post tax hedge ratios adjust for different tax rates on physical sales and hedge gains and losses, which mean that effective post tax hedges can be achieved through hedging contracts

for volumes which may be significantly less than anticipated sales

3. Caps for hedged volumes under collar structures: $73-$75 / barrel for oil and >$7 /mmbtu for gas

Conservative risk management

Aggregate Post-Tax Hedge Ratios (as of 30 June 2018) (1,2,3)

Novated hedge book from ENGIE at acquisition

(MtM $53.8 mm liability). Historically based on

swaps

FY Guidance

No change. FY low single-digit growth on 2017: stronger H1 performance offset by seasonal

maintenance in H2

Development capex reduced to approx. $420 mm (incl. Touat) reflecting some re-phasing;

$90 mm E&A; $35 mm abex

Plus acquisitions: $430 mm for VNG Norge and $75 mm for Seagull

Pro forma to 30 June 2018 for VNG Norge and Seagull: net debt $1.48 bn, leverage 44%

Cash flow since EPI acquisition anticipated to cover capex, bolt-on acquisitions and finance

costs, at current commodity prices

In line with previous guidance: cash tax as % of pre-tax operating cash flow reducing to below

40% due to higher Norway capex and Algerian future production

1. Excludes VNG contribution, post-closing

2. VNG transaction considered separately due to (i) short term tax cash flows (ii) debt finance contribution for longer term growth
