Erin Energy Commences 3D Seismic Acquisition
Offshore - The Gambia
HOUSTON, July 20, 2015 – Erin Energy Corporation (“Erin Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE
MKT:ERN) (JSE:ERN) through its subsidiary Camac Energy Gambia Limited, has commenced
the shooting of a 3D seismic survey off the coast of The Gambia. Polarcus Ltd. has been
contracted by the Company to carry out the survey using the Polarcus Alima, an ultra-modern
12 streamer 3D/4D seismic vessel. The survey is expected to take approximately 50 days to
complete and will cover approximately 1,500 square kilometres on Erin Energy’s A2 and A5
blocks.

Kase Lawal, Chairman and CEO of Erin Energy commented: “The acquisition of 3D seismic
data in this emerging West Africa margin basin will provide valuable pre-drill information that is
key to evaluating the exploration potential of these blocks, which are in close proximity to recent
offshore Senegal oil discoveries. Polarcus has a reputation for high-quality data acquisition and
a commitment to the highest environmental standards, and we are pleased to be working with
them.”

Erin Energy is operator of the A2 and A5 blocks with 100% interest. The A2 and A5 blocks are
located approximately 28 miles (45 kilometers) offshore The Gambia and are on-trend with the
recent FAN-1 and SNE-1 hydrocarbon discoveries offshore Senegal by Cairn (LSE: CNE),
Conoco (NYSE: COP), Petrosen and FAR (ASX: FAR).
