LGO’s Trinidad Assets
Three asset areas in the prime hydrocarbon play zone:• Goudron IPSC (100%) with 2P reserves of 7.2 mmbbls
and over 60 mmbbls of contingent resources associated with a future water flood. Active production growth from a 30 well infill development drilling programme now drilling well seven
• Icacos Field in the Cedros Peninsula (50%, non-operator), producing ~35 bopd from three wells. Future opportunities for infill and redevelopment
• Over 7,500 acres of largely unexplored 100% owned private oil leases in the Cedros and in rights held in partnership with Beach Oilfield Limited
• HOA signed for acquisition (100%) of Trinity-Inniss Field. Existing production of 140-150 bopd from 25 active wells with immediate new and infill wells upside

TRINITY- INNISSAQUISITION
Country Overview• A regional financial centre with a well-regulated and stable financial system• English common law based legal system• Well educated workforce with literacy rates of over 98%, • One of the most prosperous countries in the Caribbean• Oil and gas production and processing (> 45% of GDP)

Why Trinidad?
• Trinidad sits on the margin of the Caribbean Plate with the island divided by the plate boundary
• The southern part of Trinidad is geologically linked to the South American continent and is within the Eastern Venezuela Basin, but physically separated from Venezuela by the 7 kilometre wide straits of the Columbus Channel
• Essentially the onshore Trinidad Southern Basin is geologically part of Venezuela
• The Eastern Venezuela Basin is a very productive oil province:
• Over 12 billion barrels of oil reserves in the East Venezuelan Basin within Venezuela
• Excluding an est. 1.2 trillion barrels of heavy in place oil in the Orinoco Belt
• Over 3 billion barrels produced onshore to date Eastern Venezuelaoil province

Trinidad’s Oil Province
Divided into three distinct sectors:• Northern Range: Hills of metamorphic origin• Central Range: Flat, mostly agricultural, plains• Southern Range: The sedimentary basins under the Southern
Range make up the oil province, containing numerous fields

Goudron Field(Production and Development)

Goudron Field Overview
• Goudron is located in Guayaguayare and produces light oil (averaging at least 38 oAPI)
• Discovered in 1927 the field has a long history, but only limited production with less than 5 mmbbls produced
• 154 wells were drilled before 1981, last previous well GY-658 in 1981/2; LGO started drilling in April 2014
• LGO acquired the IPSC in October 2012 and has since then:
• Conducted over 70 well reactivations• Carried out several recompletions• Drilled 6 new wells in a 30 well redevelopment• Placed 5 wells on stream (as @ end Oct 2014)
• Production has already increased from 30 bopd to over 900 bopd and is set to exceed 1,000 bopd in late 2014

Goudron Phase 3: Water Flood
• Local analogue at Beach-Marcelle Field recovered approximately 30 mmbbls
• Wealth of local experience in Trinidad
• Over 60 mmbbls of 3C (contingent) resources
• Existing study for > 4,000 bopd capacity. New scoping studies starting now
• Collection of critical data during current drilling phase
• Senergy have been engaged to lead the technical work

Future
Goudron• Maintain excellent HSE record• Continue drilling through to end 2015• Increasing production whilst managing
long-term reservoir performance• Install a LACT meter• Medium term target 2,000 bopd• Complete Senergy studies• Issue a new CPR• Initiate environmental permitting
process for the water-flood
Forward Strategy• Complete acquisition of Trinity-Ininss
Field• Additional acquisition targets under
review• Not forgetting upside Exploration offered
by the Cedros……

• Licences are bounded by producing fields and infrastructure, mostly with 3D seismic coverage
• Forward program:
• Re-evaluate all existing data and wells• Acquire a soil geochemistry survey to isolate
micro-seepage and areas of fractionated light oil• Fly a high resolution gravity and magnetics
survey• Reinterpretation of 3D and acquire additional
2D seismic data if necessary to define well locations
• Drill at least one deep exploration well to test the potential at Herrera Sandstone level
• Owned in collaboration with local company Beach Oilfield
• Primary Potential largely untested. Very few and mostly only shallow wells drilled to date. Only one deep well (FRM-1) drilled which encountered good reservoir targets with encouraging shows at >11,000 feet
• The deep Herrera Sandstone is a proven producing reservoir in Trinidad including the offshore, but largely undrilled in the Cedros area
• LGO plan to drill at least one deep exploration well in the Cedros to test the potential at Herrera Sandstone level
Unexplored Deep Prospectivity

Spanish Assets
ASSETS: Onshore Northern Spain in the Cantabrian Mountains :
Ayoluengo Oilfield (Discovered 1964)• Produced 18 mmbbls (Oil in place est. 104 mmbbls)• Production concession, La Lora, due for renewal in 2017• Deepen Ayoluengo to the proven Liassic reservoirs
Hontomin Oilfield (Discovered 1968)• Test production only (Oil in place <4 mmbbls) • Development of Hontomin as a low cost satellite to Ayoluengo • Awaiting a production concession
Tozo Gas Field (Discovered 1965)• Test production only (Gas in place est. 5 bcf) • Development as either a micro-Compressed Natural Gas
a Gas-to-Wire project
AYOLUENGO OIL FIELD
HONTOMIN OIL FIELD
TOZO GAS FIELD
OVERVIEW:• Late life asset with oil current production of around 100 bopd. Recovery to date of
< 18% of STOIIP. Possible EOR project• Current annualised net revenue after tax ~€1 million, forecast to decline slowly
PLANNED ACTIVITY• Future opportunities to enhance production by side-tracking existing wells to reach unswept oil• Investment only justified once the La Lora Concession is extended • Process commenced in 2014 and expected to take 18-24 months• Integrated structural, sedimentology and engineering studies now underway in parallel

Forward Looking Statements
25
Certain statements in this presentation are “forward looking statements” which are not based on historical facts but rather on the management’s expectations regarding the Company's future growth. These expectations include the results of operations, performance, future capital, other expenditures (amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), competitive advantages, planned exploration and development drilling activity including the results of such drilling activity, business prospects and opportunities. Such statements reflect management's current beliefs and assumptions and are based on information currently available.Forward looking statements involve significant known risks, unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from the results denoted in these statements, including risks associated with vulnerability to general economic market and business conditions, competition, environmental and other regulatory changes, the results of exploration, development drilling and related activities, actions by governmental authorities, the availability of capital markets, reliance on key personnel, uninsured and underinsured losses and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although these statements are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure investors that the actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements.
