Faroe Petroleum plc

2015 Preliminary Results29 March 2016

Strong production performance and low operating costs Total average economic production1 for 2015 at 10,530 boepd (2014: 9,106 boepd) Average operating cost reduced to $23 per boe (2014: $33 per boe) Acquisition of additional interests in Blane and Enoch oil fields in UK

Significant reserves growth 2P Reserves increased by 88% to 57.4 mmboe (2014: 30.6 mmboe) 2C Contingent Resources decreased to 98.3 mmboe (2014: 109.1 mmboe)

Exploration programme adding 2C & replenishing hopper An oil discovery of 13-31 mmboe (gross) on Boomerang well in September 2015 Skirne East (Shango) well small gas discovery; Portrush, Bister & Kvalross (2016) dry Five APA licences won in Norway in January 2015 plus a further six in January 2016

Financially robust Year-end cash of £91.5m and net cash £68.5m Revenue of £113.0m (excluding hedging gains) EBITDAX of £60.4m Pre-tax E&A write offs £83.5m and pre-tax D&P impairments of £45.1m

1 Economic production in 2015 includes production from the recently acquired interest in the Blane field (12.5%) from 1 January 2015 (the effective date).Accounting production excludes production between the effective date and the date of completion on 5 November 2015. Accounting production in 2015 was 10,252 boepd (2014 6,579 boepd)

2 Adjusted to exclude Kvalross prospective resource

Faroe well capitalised and on track to become leading independent E&P player in the North Sea 2

Outlook – fully-funded well programme and positioned for potential acquisitions Two remaining 2016 exploration wells (benefit from 78% tax rebate) 2016 capex estimates:

E&A £50m pre-tax (£12m post-tax) D&P £20 million

2016 production guidance of 7,000 - 9,000 boepd split 55% liquids and 45% gas

Well positioned to capitalise on market conditions to add value

2015 Final Results SummaryOutlook

Faroe well capitalised and on track to become leading independent E&P player in the North Sea

Exploration and appraisalActive drilling programme: E&A continuing - benefiting from lower costs in 2016

All planned exploration wells are in Norway – benefiting from 78% tax rebate incentive

Further attractive exploration well opportunities under consideration for 2017 via farm-in

Economic robustness is always crucial element of pre-commitment screening work

Very active programme – fully funded with significant upside potential

The Brage area (Faroe 14.3% in producing Brage field)

Very prospective area, containing giant Oseberg field, Brage and Veslefrikk

Krafla is a recent exploration success

79 wildcat exploration wells since 1975 - 62% technical success rate (this is high by any measure)

PL740 Brasse prospect

Faroe holds 50% and is operator, Core Energy holds 50%

Transocean Arctic semi-sub contracted to drill in summer 2016 - low day rate secured

Significant undrilled structural prospect located in close proximity to large oil fields

A discovery would be tied back to Brage or Oseberg

Exploration and appraisalBrasse – near field exploration well - expected summer 2016

5Excellent prospect benefiting from low rig rate with near term tie-back potential

Brasse prospect

Exploration and appraisalNjord North Flank exploration well – expected in Q3 2016

The Njord area

Highly prospective area

Contains the Njord field and Draugen field

Snilehorn (Faroe 7.5%), Pil (Faroe 25%), Bue (Faroe 25%) and Boomerang (Faroe 25%) are recent exploration successes

PL107C North Flank prospect (NF2)

Faroe 7.5% , Statoil operator (20%)

Material 3-way down faulted structural trap, with crest of structure in PL107

Expect to drill in Q3 2016

6Excellent prospect benefiting from low rig rate and potential to tie into Njord Future Project

Njord North Flank prospect

Production and Development assetsBuilding production base and growing reserves

Diversified production base (50:50 Norway/UK and 50:50 oil/gas) with infill and near-field upside potential to boost production

Lowered opex and long life assets 2P Reserves almost doubled since last year from 30.6 to 57.4mmboe

Strong balanced production, well performing assets, low opex per boe

Brage(Faroe: 14.26%)

Oil field in Norwegian North Sea – Wintershall-operated Two successful infill wells in 2015 – new programme being planned

Butch(Faroe: 15%)

Development project in Norwegian North Sea – Centrica-operated FEED project ongoing - FDP submission planned for end of 2016

Njord/Hyme/ Snilehorn(Faroe: 7.5%)

Oil and gas field in the Norwegian Sea – Statoil-operated Production to be suspended in May - Njord Future project underway

Pil(Faroe: 25%)

Oil and gas field in the Norwegian Sea – VNG-operated Feasibility confirmed for both subsea satellite and stand alone solutions

Ringhorne East(Faroe: 7.8%)

Oilfield in Norwegian North Sea - Exxon-operated Low operating cost, stable production

Blane(Faroe: 30.5%)

Oilfield in Central Graben UK - Repsol-operated Low operating cost, stable production

Schooner & Ketch(Faroe: 60%)

Gas fields in the UK Southern Gas Basin – Faroe-operated Stable gas production – gas sold into the UK market

Faroe – investment in Southern Gas Basin productionSchooner and Ketch

8

Faroe is 60% owner and Operator of the Schooner and Ketch gas fields

Faroe is doing things differently to extract more value from these assets

So far we have invested in several initiatives to increase profitability,

including:

logistics sharing with Eni, including larger helicopter with greater payload

modernising maintenance methods to increase profitability

In addition further well potential is under consideration with scope to

significantly lengthen the productive and profitable lives of both fields

Continuing to modernise & improve operations to increase profitability

Butch (Norway) – development plannedExcellent value creation opportunity

Butch oil field (Faroe 15%), operated by Centrica

Southern North Sea, 66m water depth

Close to infrastructure - Ula and Gyda

Excellent quality reservoir, light oil

Development project – planning work ongoing

Project passed concept selection in H2 2015

Selected concept:

Subsea tie-back to Ula via Oselvar

Two production wells and one water injection well

Expected on stream in 2019 - plateau production of approx. 35,000 boepd gross

Front End Engineering and Design project on track

Subsea and drilling costs major part of capex – to benefit from reduced market rates

FDP submission currently planned for end 2016

9Exciting material sub-sea oil field development will benefit from significantly lower capex

Greater Njord Area (Norway)Strategic position

Prolific area with yet to be produced reserves in region of 300mmboe

Njord, Hyme and Snilehorn

Njord & Hyme producing in excess of forecast – declining due to drill stop

Facility needs lifetime extension - tow-to-shore in summer 2016

Njord Future project – FDP early 2017

Njord, Hyme and Snilehorn 2P Reserves in excess of 200 mmboe (gross)*

Pil, Bue and Boomerang – 2014 and 2015 discoveries

Pil gross columns ca 135m oil & 91m gas - flowed at stable rate 6,710 bopd of 37 degree API oil, 56/64” choke

Bue and Boomerang added further volumes

Pil project feasibility confirmed for subsea tie-back and leased FPSO stand alone solutions – project now maturing towards concept selection

Potential for significant further resource additions through exploration

Significant infrastructure in the area

Draugen and Njord – large field developments

Åsgard transportation – gas trunk line to European gas market

Draugen – Shell operated Njord – Statoil operated

10Significant value creation opportunity with material reserves – benefits from reduced costs
