CAMAC Energy Announces Additional Drilling Rig for Offshore Nigeria

Transocean Sedco Express semi-submersible secured for completion of Oyo-7 and Oyo-8

HOUSTON, December 3, 2014 - CAMAC Energy Inc. (“CAMAC” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: CAK)
(JSE: CME) announced today that it has signed a contract with a subsidiary of Transocean Ltd. for the
provision of the semi-submersible drilling unit Sedco Express for drilling and completion activities offshore
Nigeria. The contract allows for the drilling or completion of up to three wells, and CAMAC intends to use
the rig to accelerate timing of the tie-in of production from the Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 development wells. With
the ability to drill a third well, and an option to extend the contract, the Company is also considering using
the rig to accelerate its 2015 exploration drilling program.

The Sedco Express is an ultra deepwater, semi-submersible drilling rig built in 2000, and is already within
close proximity of the Oyo Field in OML 120. The Company’s other rig, the drillship Energy Searcher, will
continue the plugging and abandonment operations on the Oyo-5 and Oyo-6 wells.

Kase Lawal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “CAMAC is fully committed to bringing on
production from our next two development wells as soon as possible, and we are pleased to secure this
additional rig to accomplish our goals. The Sedco Express is a highly-efficient rig, and we may also utilize it
to accelerate our exploration program.”
