Kenya
Exploration activities of frontier exploration Blocks L1B/L16 onshore, and Blocks L27/L28 offshore are ongoing in the
Lamu Basin in Kenya. An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study was completed in February 2014 on
Blocks L1B/L16, and preparations are underway for a 2D seismic shoot to occur later this year.
For offshore Blocks L27/L28, CAMAC Energy is currently participating in a multi-client 2D seismic data acquisition that
will conclude this month, with final data delivery expected in June 2014. CAMAC Energy will then conduct a
geological and geophysical study incorporating the newly acquired data.
CAMAC Energy plans to drill the first onshore exploration well on either L1B or L16 in 2015.

Further frontier exploration activities are also continuing offshore Gambia on Blocks A2 and A5. For 2014, CAMAC
