News Release
FOR RELEASE AT 8:00 AM CT
April 22, 2014
CAMAC Energy Provides Operational Update
Year-End 2014 Production Exit Rate Guidance of 14,000 BOPD
HOUSTON, Texas – April 22, 2014 - CAMAC Energy Inc. (“CAMAC Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: CAK)
announced today an update on the Company’s operations in West and East Africa, including Nigeria, Ghana, and
Kenya.
Nigeria
The Northern Offshore Energy Searcher drillship is currently located offshore Cameroon, where it is awaiting final
clearance by the Nigerian Department of Petroleum Resources (“DPR”) to enter Nigeria and commence drilling
operations at the Oyo Field. The DPR has completed its inspection, and is expected to issue final clearance
imminently. The drilling rig is anticipated to arrive at the Oyo Field by the end of April.
In order to optimize drilling, completion, and production activities, current plans are to spud Oyo-8 mid-May, with
well-hookup and first production expected in October. The drilling rig will then move to complete and hook-up Oyo-
7, with first production expected in November. Both wells continue to be on track to commence production this
year, enabling CAMAC Energy to exit 2014 at an estimated production rate of 14,000 barrels of oil per day.
In addition to the development wells offshore Nigeria, the Company has identified 10 exploration prospects and 12
leads, and has currently high-graded three prospects containing unrisked prospective resources in excess of 200
MMBO each. Current efforts are focused on determining the first exploration well location to be drilled in 2015.
Ghana
CAMAC Energy recently received parliamentary ratification of its Petroleum Agreement relating to the Expanded
Shallow Water Tano Block in Ghana. The Company has been named technical operator and will hold a 30% interest
in the Block. The Block contains three discovered fields, and the work program requires the partners to determine,
within nine months, the economic viability of developing the discovered fields. A leading worldwide independent
petroleum consulting firm has been identified to assist with the evaluation. Activities will include evaluating existing
3D seismic data, and geological and well data.
Kenya
Exploration activities are continuing in the Lamu Basin on Blocks L1B and L16 onshore, and on Blocks L27 and L28
offshore.
L1B/L16 Onshore
• Completed a Gravity and Magnetic Survey in 2013
• Completed an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study in February 2014
• Submitted “Invitation to Tender” requests to seismic companies that are active in the region. Final bids are
due early May 2014
Work is focused on drilling two exploration wells in 2015/2016: one in Block L1B, and one in Block L16
Current activities onshore Block L1B are targeting net unrisked prospective resources of 900 MMBO from five leads.
L27/L28 Offshore
• Completed the acquisition of multi-client 2D seismic in March 2014, and processing is currently underway
• Presently building a dataset for a Geological and Geophysical Study
• Results from the 2D interpretation will be used to outline the location for a 3D seismic acquisition
• 3D seismic will then be processed to interpret the geologic framework
Evaluations are being directed towards drilling one exploration well in either Block L27 or Block L28 in 2016/2017.
Management Comments
Segun Omidele, Senior Vice President of Exploration and Production, commented, “CAMAC Energy’s continued focus
is to improve our current production and cash flow, while making solid progress identifying and developing our
world-class, high-impact exploration prospects and leads. We are confident about our current operational status,
and look forward to ramping up net daily production from 2,000 barrels of oil today to 14,000 barrels of oil by year-
end.”

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
concerning activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in
the future are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, they involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations
may prove to be incorrect. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully drill, complete,
test and produce the wells and prospects identified in this release and risk factors discussed in the Company’s periodic
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All forward-looking statements are expressly
qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of their respective dates. The Company undertakes no duty to update these forward-
looking statements.
We may use certain terms in this press release such as “contingent resources,” “prospective resources,” “leads,”
“prospects,” “oil in place” or other descriptions of volumes which imply the possible existence of quantities of
resources. 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. The SEC permits oil and gas
companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only “reserves,” as that term is defined under SEC rules.
Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as at a given date, to be potentially recoverable
from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Contingent resources are those
quantities of petroleum estimated, at a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, but the
applied projects are not yet considered mature enough for commercial development due to one or more
contingencies. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development,
while contingent resources have an associated chance of development. Investors should not assume there will be any
discovery associated with prospective resources, or that any discovery or any contingent resources will be
economically drillable or ever be upgraded into reserves.
