Dear Ms. Filipos:

In accordance with the request of Mr. Wayne Kahmeyer with Nautilus Poplar LLC (Nautilus), an engineering audit was performed on behalf
of Magellan Petroleum Corporation (Magellan) to review the reserves and corresponding net present value of the working interests owned in the East Poplar Unit and the Poplar Northwest Field, Roosevelt County, MT. The reserves evaluation was prepared
by Naing Aye with Nautilus Poplar LLC. The evaluation included proved developed producing (PDP) reserves attributable to currently producing wells, proved developed non producing (PDNP) reserves associated with pump upsizing and current zone
stimulations, proved undeveloped (PUD) reserves associated with development of the Charles formation, probable undeveloped reserves (PRB) associated with development of the Tyler formation and possible reserves (POS) associated with development of
the Nisku formation. The effective date of the evaluation is June 30, 2010. This evaluation was prepared using constant prices and costs and conforms to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines and applicable financial
accounting rules. All prices, costs and cash flow estimates are expressed in U.S. dollars (US$). The reserves and future net revenue are net to the combined interests of Magellan and Nautilus. We believe the assumptions, data, methods and procedures
used in preparing this report are appropriate for the purpose of this report. Allen & Crouch has reviewed 100% of Magellans United States reserves. These reserves are all located in the state of Montana. These reserves represent 79%
of Magellans total oil reserves worldwide.

Table 1 summarizes the estimates of the net reserves and future net revenues, as of
June 30, 2010 for the Magellan evaluated properties. Unescalated prices and costs were used for all properties contained in this evaluation.

Values in the tables of this report may not add up arithmetically due to the rounding procedure in the computer software
program used to prepare the economic projections. All hydrocarbon liquids are reported as 42 gallon barrels.

Allen & Crouch
Petroleum Engineers, Inc. is an independent petroleum engineering firm with respect to Magellan, as provided in the Society of Petroleum Engineers, Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves.
Allen & Crouch neither owns an interest in any Magellan properties, nor is employed by them on a retainer or contingent basis.

Oil
and gas reserves by definition fall into one of the following categories: proved, probable, and possible. The proved category is further divided into: developed and undeveloped. The developed reserve category is even further divided into the
appropriate reserve status subcategories: producing and non-producing. Non-producing reserves include shut-in and behind-pipe reserves. The reserves included in this report include proved, probable and possible reserves. The reserves and income
attributable to the various reserve categories included in this report have not been adjusted to reflect the varying degrees of risk associated with them.

Reserve estimates are strictly technical judgments. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality and the quantity of data available and of the engineering and geological
interpretations. The reserve estimates presented in this report are believed reasonable; however, they are estimates only and should be accepted with the understanding that reservoir performance subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify
their revision. A portion of these reserves are for non-producing wells that lack sufficient production history to utilize conventional performance-based reserve estimates. In these cases, the reserves are based on volumetric estimates and recovery
efficiencies along with analogies to similar producing areas. These reserve estimates are subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than those based on substantial production and pressure data. As additional production and pressure data becomes
available, these estimates may be revised up or down. Actual future prices may vary significantly from the prices used in this evaluation; therefore, future hydrocarbon volumes recovered and the income received from these volumes may vary
significantly from those estimated in this report. The present worth is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money and should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties.

A portion of these reserves are for undeveloped acreage. Reserves for these cases are based on volumetric estimates and recovery efficiencies along with
analogies to similar producing areas. These reserve estimates are subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than those based on substantial production and pressure data. As additional production and pressure data becomes available, these estimates
may be revised up or down. The proved undeveloped (PUD) reserves are based upon developmental drilling in the Charles formation. The production forecast is based upon a typecurve of historical production from existing Charles wells in the area. The
probable undeveloped (PRB) reserves are based upon development drilling in the Tyler formation. The production forecast is based upon Tyler production from the EPU #7 well. Probable reserves estimates are subject to an greater degree of uncertainty
than proved reserves. The possible undeveloped (POS) reserves are based upon development drilling in the Nisku formation. The production forecast is based upon an analog of the nearby Tule Creek Field. Possible reserves estimates are subject to an
even greater degree of uncertainty than proved and probable reserves. The appropriate combination of conventional decline curve analysis (DCA), production data analysis and type curves were used to estimate the remaining reserves in the various
producing areas. Allen & Crouch has used all methods and procedures it considers necessary under the circumstances in the audit of these reserves evaluations.

All prices used in preparation of this report were based on twelve month unweighted arithmetic average of
the first day of the month price for the period July 2009 through June 2010. The resulting oil price used was $66.24/Bbl. This price was adjusted for local differentials and gravity. As required by the SEC guidelines, all pricing was held constant
for the life of the projects (no escalation).

Operating costs used in this report were based on values reported by Nautilus and reviewed by
Allen & Crouch. Nautiluss estimates for capital costs for all non-producing wells are included in the evaluation. Magellan and Nautilus have indicated to us that they have the ability and intent to implement their capital expenditure
program as scheduled. Operating costs and capital costs were held constant for the life of the projects (no escalation).

Net revenue (sales)
is defined as the total proceeds from the sale of oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL), and gas adjusted for the commodity price basis differential and gathering/transportation expense. Future net income (cashflow) is future net revenue less
net lease operating expenses, state severance or production taxes, operating/development capital expenses and net salvage. Future plugging, abandonment and salvage costs are considered in this report. No provisions for State or Federal income taxes
have been made in this evaluation. The present worth (discounted cashflow) at various discount rates is calculated on a monthly basis.

In the
conduct of our evaluation, we have not independently verified the accuracy and completeness of information and data furnished by Nautilus with respect to ownership, interests, costs of operation and development, product prices, payout balances and
agreements relating to current and future operations and sales of production. If in the course of our examination something came to our attention which brought into question the validity or sufficiency of any of the information or data provided by
Nautilus, we did not rely on such information or data until we had satisfactorily resolved our questions relating thereto or independently verified such information or data.

Nautilus operations may be subject to various levels of governmental controls and regulations. These controls and regulations may include matters relating to land tenure, drilling, production
practices, environmental protection, marketing and pricing policies, royalties, various taxes and levies including income tax and are subject to change from time to time. Such changes in governmental regulations and policies may cause volumes of
reserves actually recovered and amounts of income actually received to differ significantly from the estimated quantities.

In our opinion,
the above-described estimates of Magellans proved reserves and supporting data are, in the aggregate, reasonable and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted Petroleum engineering and evaluation practices. There was no
aggregate difference larger than 10%. It is also our opinion that the above-described estimates of Magellans proved reserves conform to the definitions of proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves promulgated by the SEC.

All data used in this study were obtained from Nautilus or the non-confidential files of Allen & Crouch. A field inspection of the properties
was not made in connection with the preparation of this report. The potential environmental liabilities attendant to ownership and/or operation of the properties have not been addressed in this report. Abandonment and clean-up costs and possible
salvage value of the equipment were considered in this report.

Data and worksheets used in the preparation of this evaluation will be
maintained in our files in Casper and will be available for inspection by anyone having proper authorization from Magellan.

Thank you for the
opportunity to perform this audit. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding the evaluation, please dont hesitate to call.
