In this document, a boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl has
been used. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe
conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this annual information form
(the "Annual Information Form") and in certain documents incorporated by
reference into this Annual Information Form, constitute forward-looking
statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future
performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not
always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan",
"continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict",
"potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and
similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to
differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
Actual operational and financial results may differ materially from TransGlobe's
expectations contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.

Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking
statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or
expectations upon which they are based will occur. By its nature,
forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the
possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other
forward-looking statements will not occur and may cause actual results or events
to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements in this annual information form include, but are not
limited to, statements with respect to:

- unforeseen changes in the rate of production from the Company's oil and
  gas fields, ;
- changes in the price of crude oil and natural gas;
- adverse technical factors associated with exploration, development,
  production or transportation of the Company's crude oil and natural gas
  reserves;
- changes in Egyptian or Yemen tax, energy or other laws or regulations;
- changes in significant capital expenditures;
- delays in production starting up due to an industry shortage of skilled
  manpower, equipment or materials;
- the cost of inflation;
- the performance characteristics of the Company's oil and natural gas
  properties;
- oil and natural gas production levels;
- the quantity of oil and natural gas reserves;
- capital expenditure programs;
- supply and demand for oil and natural gas and commodity prices;
- drilling plans;
- expectations regarding the Company's ability to raise capital and to
  continually add to reserves though acquisitions, exploration and development;
- treatment under governmental regulatory regimes and tax laws;
- realization of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and dispositions;
- adverse technical factors associated with exploration, development,
  production or transportation of crude oil and natural gas reserves; and
- changes or disruptions in the political or fiscal regimes in the Company's
  areas of activity.

Some of the risks and other factors, which could cause results
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements
contained in this annual information form include, but are not limited to:

- general economic conditions in Canada, the United States and globally;
- general economic stability of the Company's financial lenders and
  creditors;
- payment of crude oil marketing contracts and associated financial hedging
  instruments;
- industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil and
  natural gas;
- governmental regulation of the oil and gas industry, including
  environmental regulation;
- fluctuation in foreign exchange or interest rates;
- risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations;
- geological, technical, drilling and processing problems;
- unanticipated operating events which can reduce production or cause
  production to be shut-in or delayed;

- failure to obtain industry partner and other third-party consents and
  approvals, when required;
- stock market volatility and market valuations;
- competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves,
  undeveloped land and skilled personnel;
- incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions;
- the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; and
- the other factors considered under "Risk Factors".

Statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to
be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on
certain estimates and assumptions that some or all of the resources and reserves
described can be profitably produced in the future. Readers are cautioned that
the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements
contained in this Annual Information Form and the documents incorporated by
reference herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

The Company believes that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Information Form and the
documents incorporated by reference herein are reasonable but no assurance can
be given that these expectations will prove to be correct, and investors should
not attribute undue certainty to, or place undue reliance on, such
forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as of the date of this
Annual Information Form. If circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations
or opinions should change, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any
obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by
securities law. Please consult the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com for
further, more detailed information concerning these matters.

TRANSGLOBE ENERGY CORPORATION

General

TransGlobe Energy Corporation ("TransGlobe" or the
"Company") was incorporated on August 6, 1968 and was organized under
variations of the name "Dusty Mac" as a mineral exploration and extraction
venture under The Company Act (British Columbia). In 1992, the Company
entered into the oil and gas exploration and development field in the United
States and later in Yemen, Canada and Egypt, ceasing operations as a mining
company. The Company's U.S. oil and gas properties were sold in 2000 to fund
opportunities in Yemen and the Company's Canadian oil and gas assets and
operations were divested in early 2008 to assist with the funding of
opportunities in Egypt and Yemen. The Company changed its name to TransGlobe
Energy Corporation on April 2, 1996 and on June 9, 2004, the Company continued
from the Province of British Columbia to the Province of Alberta.

TransGlobe, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is primarily
engaged in the exploration for, and the development and production of, oil and
gas in Egypt and Yemen.

The Company has been listed on the TSX under the symbol "TGL"
since November 7, 1997 and on the NASDAQ under the symbol TGA since January 18,
2008. Prior to listing on the NASDAQ, the Company had its U.S. listing on the
AMEX since 2003.

The Company's principal office is located at 2500, 605 
5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3H5. The Company's registered
office is located at 1400, 350  7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta,
T2P 3N9.

During the past three years, TransGlobe has developed its
business interests through a combination of acquisitions, divestitures,
exploration and development. During this period, TransGlobe's primary focus has
been on two concessions in Egypt (a 71.43% working interest in Nuqra Block 1 and
a 100% working interest in the West Gharib Concession), five PSAs in Yemen (a
13.81087% working interest in Block 32, a 25% working interest in Block S-1, a
33% working interest in Block 72, a 25% working interest in Block 75 and a
pending 33% working interest in Block 84) and in central Alberta, Canada (which
business interests were divested in April, 2008). Subsequently to year end 2009
the Company acquired a 50% working interest in the East Ghazalat concession in
Egypt.

2007

In 2007, the primary exploration and production focus was on
the West Gharib Concession and Nuqra Block 1 in Egypt, Blocks S-1, 32, 72, 84
and 75 in Yemen; and central Alberta in Canada.

In Egypt, the Company drilled four wells, consisting of one oil
well and one dry hole on West Gharib, and two exploration dry holes on
Nuqra.

On September 25, 2007 the Company completed the acquisition of
two companies with interests in West Gharib, Egypt and thereby acquired working
interests in eight development leases (plus one development lease pending) and
24 producing wells in the West Gharib PSC area in Egypt. The West Gharib PSC is
located onshore in the western Gulf of Suez rift basin of Egypt. The eight
approved West Gharib development leases encompass 178 km2 and are
valid for 20 years (expiring between 2019 and 2026). Modern 3D seismic coverage
exists over a majority of the leases. The Company completed the acquisition of
Dublin International Petroleum (Egypt) Limited ("Dublin") and Drucker
Petroleum Inc. ("Drucker") from Tanganyika Oil (Bermuda) I Ltd. for
US$59.0 million plus working capital adjustments effective as at July 1, 2007.
Dublin and Drucker together hold a 70% working interest in the West Gharib PSC.
The Company assumed operatorship of the West Gharib PSC following the closing of
the transaction. The West Gharib PSC is comprised of nine development leases
(including the East Hoshia development lease which was approved on January 31,
2008). Eight of the nine development leases (excluding the Hana development
lease) are encumbered with a 25% financial interest through an investment
agreement between Dublin and a private company. The 25% financial interest is
non-voting but otherwise the private company is a 25% participating interest
partner.

In Yemen, the Company drilled 13 wells, consisting of four oil
wells and two dry holes on Block 32; six oil wells on Block S-1 and one dry hole
on Block 72. On February 1, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with OXY
to participate with OXY as to a 25%working interest in Block 75,
Yemen. The Block 75 PSA received final approval and ratification on March 8,
2008. In addition, the Company participated in a 3-D seismic acquisition program
on Block 72 and facility expansions on Blocks S-1 and 32.

In Alberta, Canada, the Company drilled 18 wells, resulting in
15 gas wells and three dry wells.

2008

In 2008, the primary exploration and production focus was on
the West Gharib Concession in Egypt and Blocks S-1, 32, 72 and 75 in Yemen.

In January, 2008, the Company listed on the NASDAQ under the
symbol "TGA", which replaced the Company's previous listing on the AMEX.

Pursuant to an acquisition agreement dated January 9, 2008, the
Company completed the acquisition of GHP, which holds a 30% interest in the West
Gharib PSC. TransGlobe acquired GHP for aggregate consideration of approximately
U.S.$40.2 million plus working capital adjustments. The acquisition closed
February 5, 2008.

With the acquisition of GHP, the Company now holds a 100%
working interest in the West Gharib PSC, with a working interest of 100% in the
Hana development lease and an effective working interest of 75% in the eight
non-Hana development leases.

On April 30, 2008 (pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement
dated April 16, 2008), the Company closed the sale of its Canadian assets and
operations for approximately Cdn$56.7 million, subject to normal closing
adjustments. The proceeds from the sale of the Company's Canadian properties
were used to repay debt and fund other capital expenditures.

On August 18, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of
the remaining 25% financial interest in the West Gharib concession it did not
previously hold for consideration of US$18 million, which resulted in the
Company holding 100% of the working interest in all nine of the leases in the
West Gharib concession. The acquisition was funded from TransGlobe's credit
facility and from working capital. Depending upon the size of future reserve
additions in the East Hoshia and South Rahmi fields, TransGlobe has agreed to
pay the vendor a success fee up to US$5.0 million and US$2.0 million,
respectively.

In Egypt, the Company drilled 14 wells (12 oil wells, one water
injection well and one dry hole) and acquired 362 km2 of 3-D seismic
data on West Gharib. In November, TransGlobe discovered a new pool at Hana West
in the Hana development lease. The first well drilled into the new pool tested
at combined rates of approximately 2,820 Bopd and was placed on production at
year-end at a pump-restricted rate of approximately 660 Bopd. The Company
increased its working interest in the Nuqra #1 joint venture from 50% to 71.43%
effective June 30, 2008, at no cost.

In Yemen, the Company drilled five wells, consisting of two oil
wells and two dry holes on Block 32 and one dry hole on Block 72.

On Block 72, field acquisition of 410 km2 of 3-D
seismic and 100 km of 2-D seismic was completed at the end of March 2008. The
seismic data was processed and interpreted in the third quarter. Subsequently, a
first exploration well, Seer #1 was drilled and resulted in a dry hole.

2009

On February 25, 2009, the Company completed the issuance of
5,798,000 Common Shares pursuant to an underwritten bought deal financing for
gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$20.0 million.

In Egypt, the Company drilled 13 wells (8 oil wells, 4 water
source wells and one dry hole) and expanded the waterflood projects at Hana and
Hoshia. The Hana West pool (discovered November 2008) was appraised and
developed during 2009.

In Yemen, the Company drilled two oil wells on Block 32. On
Block 75, 340km2 of 3-D seismic was acquired and processed by year
end.

Recent Developments

TransGlobe announced a farm out agreement (January 25, 2010)
with Vegas Oil & Gas SA ("Vegas") to earn a 50% interest in the East
Ghazalat concession in the Western Desert of Egypt, subject to the approval of
the Egyptian Government. The East Ghazalat Concession is operated by Vegas, a
privately owned oil and gas company with extensive Egypt experience and
success.

The 858 km2 East Ghazalat Concession is located in
the prolific Abu Gharadiq basin of Egypt's Western Desert, approximately 250 km
west of Cairo. East Ghazalat was awarded to Vegas on June 5, 2007 and is
currently in the first, three-year exploration period. There are two additional
exploration period extensions of two years each. TransGlobe has committed to pay
100% of three (3) exploration wells to a maximum of $9.0 million to earn a 50%
working interest in the East Ghazalat Concession. To date, Vegas has acquired
450 km of 3-D seismic to complement the existing 1,548 km of 2-D seismic and 218
km of 3-D seismic. Drilling commenced on the first of three planned exploration
wells on January 14, 2010. The first exploration well, Gawad #1 was drilled to
total depth of 9,418 feet and subsequently abandoned. The second exploration
well, Safwa #1 (formerly known as Rabwa #1), is currently being cased as a
potential oil well. An oil-bearing interval in the Cretaceous section of the
Safwa #1 well was logged and oil samples were recovered during wireline testing.
The well will be perforated and tested prior to moving the drilling rig to the
Sahab prospect.

Also, subsequent to year-end, three additional wells were
drilled on the West Gharib prospect in Egypt, resulting in a total of three oil
wells, one at each of Hana #20, North Hoshia #2 and Hoshia #8. Drilling
commenced at Hana #21 in early March.

Summary of Inter national PSA /PSC
Terms

All of the Company's international blocks are PSAs or PSCs
between the host government and the contractor (joint venture partners). The
government and the contractors take their share of production based on the terms
and conditions of the respective contracts. The contractors' share of all taxes
and royalties are paid out of the governments' share of production.

The PSAs/PSCs provide for the government to receive a
percentage gross royalty on the gross production. The remaining oil production,
after deducting the gross royalty, if any, is split between cost sharing oil and
production sharing oil. Cost sharing oil is up to a maximum percentage as
defined in the specific PSA/PSC. Cost oil is assigned to recover approved
operating and capital costs spent on the specific project. Each PSA/PSC is
treated individually in respect of cost recovery and production sharing
purposes. The remaining production sharing oil (total production, less gross
royalty, less cost oil) is shared between the government and the contractor as
defined in the specific PSAs/PSCs.

The following table summarizes the Company's international
PSA/PSC terms for the first tranche(s) of production for each block. All the
contracts have different terms for production levels above the first tranche,
which are unique to each contract. The government's share of production
increases and the contractor's share of production decreases as the production
volumes go to the next production tranche.

Operations Review (2009)

In 2009, the Company increased total production by 22% to 8,980
Bopd (2008 - 7,342 Boepd). Production from Egypt averaged 5,828 Bopd to
TransGlobe during 2009 (2008  3,072 Bopd). Production from Yemen averaged 3,152
Bopd to TransGlobe during 2009 (2008  3,786 Bopd).

2010 Outlook

- Production is expected to average between 10,000 and 10,500 Bopd, a 14%
  increase over the 2009 average production;
- Exploration and development spending is budgeted to be $63 million, a 77%
  increase from 2009 (allocated 77% to Egypt and 23% to Yemen) funded from funds
  flow from operations and cash on hand; and
- Using the mid-point of production expectations and an average oil price
  assumption for the year of $65/Bbl for Dated Brent oil, funds flow from
  operations is expected to be $67 million.

STATEMENT OF RESERVES DATA AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION

The report on reserves data in Form 51-101F2 and the report of
management and directors on reserves data and other information in Form 51-101F3
are attached as Schedules "A" and "B", respectively, to this Annual Information
Form, which forms are incorporated herein by reference.

The statement of reserves data and other oil and gas
information set forth below (the "DeGolyer Report") is dated January 21,
2010, with the effective date of the Statement being December 31, 2009.

Disclosure of Reserves Data

All of the Company's reserves herein reported were evaluated by
independent evaluators in accordance with NI 51-101 for the year ended December
31, 2009. In 2009, DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited ("DeGolyer"),
independent petroleum engineering consultants based in Calgary, Alberta and part
of the DeGolyer and MacNaughton Worldwide Petroleum Consulting group
headquartered in Dallas, Texas, were retained by the Company's Reserves
Committee to independently evaluate 100% of TransGlobe's reserves as at December
31, 2009.

The reserves data set forth below (the "Reserves Data")
was prepared by DeGolyer with an effective date of December 31, 2009. The
Reserves Data summarizes the oil, liquids and natural gas reserves of the
Company and the net present values of future net revenue for these reserves
using constant prices and costs and forecast prices and costs. The Company
reports in U.S. currency and therefore the reports have been converted to U.S.
dollars at the prevailing conversion rate at December 31 of the respective
years.

The Reserves Data conforms with the requirements of NI 51-101.
Additional information not required by NI 51-101 has been presented to provide
continuity and additional information which the Company believes is important to
the readers of this information.

Disclosure provided herein in respect of BOEs may be
misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1
Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at
the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

All evaluations and reviews of future net cash flow are
stated prior to any provision for interest costs or general and administrative
costs and after the deduction of estimated future capital expenditures for wells
to which reserves have been assigned. It should not be assumed that the
estimated future net cash flow shown below is representative of the fair market
value of the Company's properties. There is no assurance that such price and
cost assumptions will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery
and reserve estimates of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves provided
herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves
will be recovered. Actual crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves may be
greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

|(2)    | Net reserves are the Company's working interest share
      after the deduction of royalties. Net reserves in Yemen include our share
      of future cost recovery and production sharing oil after the Government's
      royalty interest but before reserves relating to income taxes payable.
      Under this method, a portion of the reported reserves will increase as oil
      prices decrease (and vice versa) as the barrels necessary to achieve cost
      recovery change with prevailing oil prices.

|(2)    | Net reserves are the Company's working interest share

      our share of future cost recovery and production sharing oil after the
      Government's royalty interest but before reserves relating to income taxes
      payable. Under this method, a portion of the reported reserves will
      increase as oil prices decrease (and vice versa) as the barrels necessary
      to achieve cost recovery change with prevailing oil prices.

In multi-well pools it may be
appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and
undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for the pool
between developed producing and developed non-producing. This allocation should
be based on the estimator's assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered
from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their
respective development and production status.

Levels of Certainty for Reported
Reserves

The qualitative certainty levels
referred to in the definitions above are applicable to individual reserve
entities (which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are
performed) and to reported reserves (which refers to the highest level sum of
individual entity estimates for which reserves are presented). Reported reserves
should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic
conditions:

| | (i)   | at least a 90 percent probability that the quantities
      actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves;
      and

| |       | A qualitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining
      to estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to
      provide a clearer understanding of the associated risks and uncertainties.
      However, the majority of reserves estimates will be prepared using
      deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived
      quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no
      difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic
      methods.

Notes:

|(1) | In 2007, 88% of the proved undeveloped light oil was
      assigned to Yemen with three horizontal development wells at An Nagyah.
      The remaining light oil reserves are in Canada at Nevis with five
      horizontal Wabamun oil wells. The heavy oil reserves were assigned to
      Egypt with one development well at Fadl, two at Hana and two at South
      Rahmi. Natural gas was assigned in Canada for four Horseshoe Canyon CBM
      wells at Nevis, seven Horseshoe Canyon CBM wells at Thorsby and associated
      gas from the five Nevis Wabamun horizontal oil wells. Natural gas liquids
      were also assigned to the five horizontals.

|(2) | In 2008, the proved undeveloped light oil was assigned to
      Yemen with two horizontal development wells at An Nagyah, two at Osaylan,
      two vertical development wells at Tasour and a vertical development and
      well recompletion at Godah. No new proved undeveloped heavy oil reserves
      were assigned in Egypt. The majority of the development activities are
      anticipated to take place during 2009 with the exception of one of the
      Osaylan wells in 2010.

Notes:

|(1) | In 2007, 76% of the probable undeveloped light oil was
      assigned to Yemen for a development well at Godah. The remainder was
      assigned in Canada for the five Nevis horizontal Wabamun oil wells. The
      heavy oil reserves were assigned to Egypt with one development well at
      Arta, two at Fadl, four at Hana and seven at South Rahmi. Natural gas was
      assigned in Canada for one Horseshoe Canyon CBM wells at Morningside, two
      Horseshoe Canyon CBM wells at Thorsby and associated gas from the five
      Nevis Wabamun horizontal oil wells. Natural gas liquids were also assigned

Additional Information Concerning Abandonment and
Reclamation Costs

In both Egypt and Yemen, estimated future abandonment and
reclamations costs related to properties evaluated have not been taken into
account by DeGolyer. Under the terms of the production sharing agreements,
ownership in the facilities and wells is transferred to the respective
Governments of Egypt and Yemen through cost recovery. Therefore the future
abandonment and reclamation costs have been assessed a zero value.

Tax Horizon

In 2009, the Company did not pay any income taxes in Canada and
does not anticipate any taxes payable in the future.

Capital Expenditures

The following table summarizes the capital expenditures (net of
incentives and net of certain proceeds and including capitalized general and

|(1)   | "Dry and abandoned well" means a well which is not a
      productive well or a service well. A productive well is a well that is
      capable of producing oil and gas in commercial quantities or in quantities
      considered by the operator to be sufficient to justify the costs required
      to complete, equip and produce the well. A service well means a well such
      as a water or gas- injection, water-source or water-disposal well. Such
      wells do not have marketable reserves of crude oil or natural gas
      attributed to them but are essential to the production of the crude oil
      and natural gas reserves.

Current exploration and development activities are focused on
the Hana West area in Egypt. Other key areas in Egypt for 2010 include
development of waterfloods in the Hana and Hoshia pools and exploration of the
West Gharib area. In Yemen, development drilling is planned at An Nagyah in
Block S-1 with exploration expected to occur on Blocks 72 and 75.

CONTINGENT RESOURCES

DeGolyer was also retained by TransGlobe to complete an
independent estimate (the "Contingent Resources Report") of natural gas
and natural gas liquids ("NGL") resource potential of the An Naeem pool
in Block S-1 Yemen, effective December 31, 2008. The Contingent Resources
Report was not updated to December 31, 2009, as there were nomaterial changes to the contingent resources or the associated
contingencies.

The contingent resources in the Contingent Resources Report are
expressed as gross and Company share contingent resources.

Gross contingent resources are defined as the total estimated
petroleum that is potentially recoverable from known accumulations after
December 31, 2008.

Company share contingent resources are defined as TransGlobe's
25% working interest share of contingent resources before deduction of royalty
obligations.

Contingent resources were evaluated using deterministic
analysis of certain parameters related to the quantity of petroleum present and
recoverable in discovered accumulations. These discovered accumulations may be
developed in the future depending on economic and market conditions, additional
well data, or seismic information.

Standard deterministic methods were used in the uncertainty
analysis. A set of deterministic values representing a Low, Best, and High value
was estimated from representations of porosity, petroleum saturation, net
hydrocarbon thickness, geometric correction factor, recovery efficiency, fluid
properties, and productive area for each accumulation. These representations
were prepared based on known data, analogy, and other standard estimation
methods including experience.

The volumetric method was used to estimate the petroleum
initially in place ("PIIP"). Petroleum is defined as a naturally
occurring mixture consisting predominantly of hydrocarbons in the gaseous,
liquid, or solid phase. Structure maps were prepared to delineate each
reservoir, and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume.
Regional data, such as but not limited to electrical logs, radioactivity logs,
core analyses, were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate
representative values for porosity and water saturation.

Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying
recovery factors and liquid yield factor to PIIP. These recovery factors were
based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs,
analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the
regional production histories.

|(1)    | Recovery efficiency is applied to contingent

|(2)    | Application of any risk factor to contingent
      resources quantities does not equate contingent resources with reserves.
|(3)    | There is no certainty that it will be

The Contingent Resources Report has been prepared in accordance
with NI 51-101 where the value of the properties cannot be determined on the
basis of recent financial transactions related to the property, such as
acquisition cost, but where the resources quantities and estimate of fair value
associated with the interests of the reporting issuer are based on a
professional valuator.

Pursuant to section 5.9 of NI 51-101 and Volume 1, Section 5.3
 Classification of Resources of the COGEH Handbook: "the estimate shall
consist of at least three values that reflect a range of reasonable likelihoods
(the low value being conservative, the middle value being the median and the
high value being optimistic) reflecting courses of action expected to be
followed by the Company".

Low Estimate: This is considered to be
a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is
likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low
estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90
percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or
exceed the low estimate.

Best Estimate: This is considered to be
the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally
likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less
than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at
least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will
equal or exceed the best estimate.

High Estimate: This is considered to be
an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is
unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high
estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10
percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or
exceed the high estimate.

For deterministic estimates of petroleum resources, a range of
values is selected for each parameter in the volumetric calculation. This range
encompasses a conservative value, or Low case, a Best case value, and a High
case value, which represents an upside case for the accumulation. The selection
of these values is based on data available in the basin and within the
prospective assessment area. The values may be supported by statistical
distributions or may be the best judgment of the evaluator.

The contingent resources estimated in the Contingent Resources
Report are those volumes of petroleum that are potentially recoverable from
known accumulations but which are not currently considered to be commercially
recoverable because of a lack of access to a market for natural gas and because
significant infrastructure would be required before commerciality is
established.

Because of the uncertainty of commerciality, the contingent
resources estimated in the Contingent Resources Report cannot be classified as
reserves.

The contingent resources estimates in the Contingent Resources
Report are provided as a means of comparison to other contingent resources and
do not provide a means of direct comparison to reserves. The contingent
resources estimated in the Contingent Resources Report have an economic status
of "Undetermined."

Contingent resources quantities should not be confused with
those quantities that are associated with reserves due to the additional risks
involved. The quantities that might actually be recovered should they be
developed may differ significantly from the estimates presented herein. There is
no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the
resources evaluated.

Estimates of contingent resources should be regarded only as
estimates that may change as further production history and additional
information become available. Not only are such contingent resources estimates
based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are
also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental
factors in interpreting such information.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has not paid any dividends to date on its Common
Shares. The Board Of Directors of the Company will determine the timing, payment
and amount of dividends, if any, that may be paid by the Company from time to
time based upon, among other things, the cash flow, results of operations and
financial condition of the Company, the need for funds to finance ongoing
operations and other business considerations as the board of directors considers
relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

TransGlobe is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common
Shares. As at March 17, 2010, there were 65,446,639 Common Shares issued and
outstanding. In addition, as at such date, there were an aggregate of 5,234,900
Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Company's options.

The following is a summary of the rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions attaching to the Common Shares. Documents affecting
the rights of securityholders, including the Company's articles, have been filed
in accordance with NI 51-102 and are available on the Company's SEDAR profile at
www.sedar.com.

Common Shares

Each Common Share entitles its holder to receive notice of and
to attend all meetings of the shareholders of the Company and to one vote at
such meetings. The holders of Common Shares are, at the discretion of the Board
of Directors of the Company and subject to applicable legal restrictions,
entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Board of Directors on the
Common Shares, subject to prior satisfaction of all preferential rights
attributed to shares of any class ranking in priority to the Common Shares. The
holders of Common Shares are entitled to share equally in any distribution of
the assets of the Company upon the liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or
winding-up of the Company or other distribution of its assets among its
shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs.

Rights Plan

On March 13, 2008, the Company entered into a shareholder
protection rights plan agreement (the "Rights Plan") with Computershare
Trust Company of Canada, as rights agent, which was approved by TransGlobe's
shareholders on May 7, 2008 at the 2008 annual general and special meeting of
shareholders. The Rights Plan replaced the Company's previous rights plan, which
expired on its terms in April, 2008. The Rights Plan generally provides that
upon any person or entity acquiring 20% or more of the issued and outstanding
Common Shares (except pursuant to certain permitted or excepted transactions)
and upon the occurrence of certain other events, each holder of Common Shares,
other than such person or entity, shall be entitled to acquire Common Shares at
a discounted price. The Rights Plan is similar to other shareholder or
unitholder rights plans adopted in the energy sector.

RISK FACTORS

General Conditions Relating to Oil and Gas Exploration and
Production Operations

The Company's operations are subject to all the risks normally
incident to the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas including
geological risks, operating risks, political risks, development risks, marketing
risks, and logistical risks of operating in Yemen and Egypt.

Industry Risks

The Company is subject to normal industry risks due to the
relatively small size of the Company, its level of cash flow, and the nature of
the Company's involvement in the exploration for, and the acquisition,
development and production of, oil and natural gas. Exploration for oil and
natural gas involves many risks, which even a combination of experience,
knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There is no
assurance that further commercial quantities of oil and natural gas will be
discovered by the Company.

The Company's operations are subject to the risks normally
incident to the operation and development of oil and natural gas properties and
the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including encountering unexpected
formations or pressures, premature decline of reservoirs, invasion of water into
producing formations, blow-outs, cratering, fires and oil spills, all of which
could result in personal injuries, loss of life and damage to the property of
the Company and others. Although the Company maintains insurance, in amounts and
coverages which it considers adequate and in accordance with customary industry
practice, the Company is not fully insured against all of these risks, nor are
all such risks insurable, and, as a result, liability of the Company arising
from these risks could have a material adverse effect upon its financial
condition.

The operations and earnings of the Company may be affected from
time to time in varying degrees by political developments and laws and
regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets, restrictions on production,
imports and exports; price controls, tax increases, royalty increases and
retroactive tax claims, expropriations of property; and cancellation of contract
rights. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon
the Company can vary greatly and are not predictable.

The marketability and price of oil and natural gas which may be
acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors beyond
the control of the Company. The Company may be affected by the differential
between the price paid by refiners for light, quality oil and various grades of
oil produced by the Company. The Company is subject to market fluctuations in
the prices of oil and natural gas, deliverability uncertainties related to the
proximity of its reserves to pipeline and processing facilities
and extensive government regulation relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land
tenure, allowable production, the export of oil and natural gas and many other
aspects of the oil and natural gas business.

The Company's operations will be
further affected by the remoteness of, and restrictions on access to, certain
properties as well as climatic conditions. The Company is also subject to
compliance with local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of
materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment. The Company is not aware of present material liability related to
environmental matters. However, it may, in the future, be subject to liability
for environmental offences of which it is presently unaware.

Exploration and Development

The Company's participation in Blocks 32, 72, 75, 84 and S-1 in
Yemen, as well as the Nuqra Block 1, East Ghazalat and West Gharib PSCs in Egypt
represent major undertakings. The exploration programs in Yemen and Egypt are
high-risk ventures with uncertain prospects for ongoing success.

The operations and earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries
are also affected by local, regional and global events or conditions that affect
supply and demand for oil and natural gas. These events or conditions are
generally not predictable and include, among other things, the development of
new supply sources; supply disruptions; weather; international political events;
technological advances; and the competitiveness of alternative energy sources or
product substitutes.

Competition

The Company encounters strong competition from other
independent operators and from major oil companies in acquiring properties
suitable for development, in contracting for drilling equipment, production
equipment and in securing trained personnel. Many of these competitors have
financial resources and staffs substantially larger than those available to the
Company. The availability of a ready market for oil and gas discovered by the
Company depends on numerous factors beyond its control, including the extent of
production and imports of oil and gas, the demand for its products, the
proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and the effect of provincial,
state or federal regulations.

Interests in Properties

The Company participates in Egypt and Yemen with industry
partners with access to greater resources from which to meet their joint venture
capital commitments. Should the Company be unable to meet its commitments, the
joint venture partners may assume some or all of the Company's deficiency and
thereby assume a pro-rata portion of the Company's interest in production from
the joint venture lands. The Company is not a majority interest owner in all of
its properties and does not have sole control over the future course of
development in those properties in which it holds less than 100% interest.

Government Regulation

In the areas where the Company conducts activities, there are
statutory laws and regulations governing the activities of oil and gas
companies. These laws and regulations allow administrative agencies to govern
the activities of oil companies in the development, production and sale of both
oil and gas. Changes in these laws and regulations may substantially increase or
decrease the costs of conducting any exploration or development project. The
Company believes that its operations comply with all applicable legislation and
regulations and that the existence of such regulations has no more restrictive
effect on the Company's method of operations than on similar companies in the
industry.

Political Risks Relating to Egypt and Yemen

Beyond the risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, the
Company is subject to additional risks resulting from doing business in Egypt
and Yemen. While the Company has attempted to reduce many of these risks through
agreements with the Governments of Egypt, Yemen and others, no assurance can be
given that such risks have been mitigated. These risks can involve matters
arising out of the evolving laws and policies of Egypt and Yemen, the imposition
of special taxes or similar charges, oil export or pipeline restrictions,
foreign exchange fluctuations and currency controls, the unenforceability of contractual rights or the taking of
property without fair compensation, restrictions on the use of expatriates in
the operations and other matters.

There can be no assurance that the agreements entered into with
the Government of Egypt and the Government of Yemen and others are enforceable
or binding in accordance with TransGlobe's understanding of their terms or that
if breached, the Company would be able to find a remedy. The Company bears the
risk that a change of government could occur and a new government may void the
agreements, laws and regulations that the Company is relying on. Operations in
Egypt and Yemen are subject to risks due to the harsh climate, difficult
topography and the potential for social, political, economic, legal and
financial instability.

Reliance Upon Officers

The Company is largely dependent upon the personal efforts and
abilities of its corporate officers. The loss or unavailability to the Company
of these individuals may have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business, especially in Egypt and Yemen.

Multi-jurisdictional Legal Risks

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Province of
Alberta, Canada, and all of the Company's directors and all of its officers are
residents of Canada. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States
investors to effect service of process within the United States upon the Company
or upon those directors or officers, who are not residents of the United States,
or to realize in the United States upon judgements of United States courts
predicated upon civil liabilities under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (United States). Furthermore, it may be difficult for investors
to enforce judgements of the U.S. courts based on civil liability provisions of
the U.S. federal securities laws in a Canadian court against the Company or any
of the Company's non-U.S. resident executive officers or directors. There is
substantial doubt whether an original lawsuit could be brought successfully in
Canada against any of such persons or the Company predicated solely upon such
civil liabilities.

Reserve Information

The reserve and recovery information contained in the DeGolyer
Report are only estimates and the actual production and ultimate reserves from
the Company's properties may be greater or less than the estimates prepared in
such report. The DeGolyer Report has been prepared using certain commodity price
assumptions which are described in the notes to the reserve tables. If lower
prices for crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas are realized by the
Company and substituted for the price assumptions utilized in the report, the
present value of estimated future net cash flows for the Company's reserves
would be reduced and the reduction could be significant, particularly based on
the constant price case assumptions. Exploration for oil and natural gas
involves many risks, which even a combination of experience and careful
evaluation may not be able to overcome. There is no assurance that further
commercial quantities of oil and natural gas will be discovered by the Company.

Additional Financing Requirements

The future development of the Company's oil and natural gas
properties may require additional financing and there are no assurances that
such financing will be available or, if available, will be available upon
acceptable terms.

Canadian Tax Considerations

As the Company is engaged in the oil and natural gas business,
its operations are subject to certain unique provisions of the Income Tax
Act (Canada) and applicable provincial income tax legislation relating to
characterization of costs incurred in their businesses which effects whether
such costs are deductible and, if deductible, the rate at which they may be
deducted for the purposes of calculating taxable income. The Company has
reviewed its historical income tax returns with respect to the characterization
of the costs incurred in the oil and natural gas business as well as other
matters generally applicable to all corporations including the ability to offset
future income against prior year losses. The Company has filed or will file all
required income tax returns and believes that it is in full compliance with the
provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and applicable provincial
income tax legislation, but such returns are subject to reassessment. In the event of a successful reassessment of
the Company it may be subject to a higher than expected past or future income
tax liability as well as potentially interest and penalties and such amount
could be material.

Exchange Rate Risks

The Canadian to US dollar exchange rate has fluctuated over
time. The Company's exposure to currency exchange rate risks is primarily
limited to Canadian general and administrative expenses which are paid for in
Canadian dollars.

Capital Markets

As a result of the weakened global economic situation, the
Company, along with all other oil and gas entities, will have restricted access
to capital and increased borrowing costs. The lending capacity of all financial
institutions has diminished and risk premiums have increased independent of the
Company's business and asset base. As future capital expenditures will be
financed out of cash generated from operations, borrowings and possible future
equity sales, the Company's ability to do so is dependent on, among other
factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for
investments in the energy industry and the Company's securities in particular.

To the extent that external sources of capital become limited
or unavailable or available on onerous terms, the Company's ability to make
capital investments and maintain existing assets may be impaired, and its
assets, liabilities, business, financial condition and results of operations may
be materially and adversely affected as a result.

Based on current funds available and expected cash from
operations, the Company believes it has sufficient funds available to fund its
projected capital expenditures. However, if cash flow from operations is lower
than expected or capital costs for these projects exceed current estimates, or
if the Company incurs major unanticipated expenses related to development or
maintenance of its existing properties, it may be required to seek additional
capital to maintain its capital expenditures at planned levels. Failure to
obtain any financing necessary for the Company's capital expenditure plans may
result in a delay in development or production on the Company's properties.

Refinancing Risk

The Company currently has a US$60.0 million syndicated credit
facility with a syndicate of four banks of which US$50.0 million is currently
drawn. At the option of the Company, the lenders will review the credit facility
and determine if they will renew for a further term. In the event that the
facility is not extended before September 25, 2010, indebtedness under the
facility will be repayable at that date. There is also a risk that the credit
facility will not be renewed for the same term or on the same terms. Any of
these events could affect the Company's ability to fund ongoing operations.

The Company is required to comply with covenants under the
credit facility. In the event that the Company does not comply with covenants
under the credit facility, the Company's access to capital could be restricted
or repayment could be required. The Company routinely reviews the covenants
based on actual and forecast results and has the ability to make changes to its
development plans to comply with covenants under the credit facility.

Third-Party Credit Risk

The Company is and may in the future be exposed to third-party
credit risk through its contractual arrangements with its current or future
joint venture partners, marketers of its petroleum and natural gas production
and other parties, including the governments of Yemen and Egypt. Significant
changes in the oil and natural gas industry, including fluctuations in commodity
prices and economic conditions, environmental regulations, government policy,
royalty rates and other geopolitical factors, could adversely affect the
Company's ability to realize the full value of its accounts receivable. The
Company currently has, and historically has had, a significant account
receivable outstanding from the government of Egypt. While the government of
Egypt does make regular payments on these amounts owing, the timing of these
payments has historically been longer than normal industry standard. While the
Company has no reason to believe that it will not collect this account
receivable in full, there can be no assurance that this will occur. In the event
the government of Egypt fails to meet its obligations, or other third-party
creditors fail to meet their obligations to the Company, such failures could individually or in the aggregate
have a material adverse effect on the Company, its cash flow from operations and
its ability to conduct its ongoing capital expenditure program.

49

Dividends

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends on its
outstanding shares in the foreseeable future.

Conflicts of Interest

The directors of the Company may be engaged and may continue to
be engaged in the search for oil and gas interests on their own behalf and on
behalf of other companies, and situations may arise where the directors may be
in direct competition with the Company. Conflicts of interest, if any, which
arise will be subject to and governed by procedures prescribed by the
corporation's governing corporate law statute which require a director of a
corporation who is a party to, or is a director or an officer of, or has some
material interest in any person who is a party to, a material contract or
proposed material contract with the Company, disclose his or her interest and,
in the case of directors, to refrain from voting on any matter in respect of
such contract unless otherwise permitted under such legislation.

Reliance on Key Personnel

Holders of Common Shares of the Company must rely upon the
experience and expertise of the management of the Company. The continued success
of the Company is largely dependent on the performance of its key employees.
Failure to retain or to attract and retain additional key employees with
necessary skills could have a materially adverse impact upon the Company's
growth and profitability.

Dilutive Effect of Financings and Acquisitions

TransGlobe may make future acquisitions or enter into financing
or other transactions involving the issuance of securities of TransGlobe which
may be dilutive.

Foreign Subsidiaries

The Company currently conducts all of its operations through
its subsidiaries and foreign branches. Therefore, to the extent of these
holdings, the Company will be dependent on the cash flows of these subsidiaries
to meet its obligations. The ability of its subsidiaries to make payments to the
Company may be constrained by among other things: the level of taxation,
particularly corporate profits and withholding taxes, in the jurisdiction in
which it operates; and the introduction of exchange controls or repatriation
restrictions or the availability of hard currency to be repatriated.

Risks of Foreign Operations

All of the Company's current production is located in Egypt and
Yemen. As such, the Company is subject to political, economic, and other
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, expropriation of property without
fair compensation, changes in energy policies or the personnel administering
them, nationalization, currency fluctuations and devaluations, exchange controls
and royalty and tax increases and other risks arising out of foreign
governmental sovereignty over the areas in which the Company's operations are
conducted, as well as risks of loss due to civil strife, acts of war, terrorist
activities and insurrections. The Company's operations may also be adversely
affected by laws and policies of Canada, Egypt and Yemen affecting foreign
trade, taxation and investment. In the event of a dispute arising in connection
with the Company's operations in Egypt and Yemen, the Company may be subject to
the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in
subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdictions of the courts of Canada or
enforcing Canadian judgements in such other jurisdictions. The Company may also
be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a
governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
Accordingly, the Company's exploration, development and production activities in
Egypt and Yemen could be substantially affected by factors beyond the Company's
control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company's operations may be adversely affected by changes
in government policies and legislation or social instability and other factors
which are not within the control of TransGlobe including, among other things, a
change in oil or natural gas pricing policy, the actions of national
labour unions, the risks of war, terrorism, abduction, expropriation and
nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and
contracts, changes in taxation policies, economic sanctions and the imposition
of specific drilling obligations and the development and abandonment of fields.

50

If the Company's operations are disrupted and/or the economic
integrity of its projects are threatened for unexpected reasons, its business
may be harmed. These unexpected events may be due to technical difficulties,
operational difficulties which impact the production, transport or sale of the
Company's products, security risks related to guerrilla activities, geographic
and weather conditions, political changes, business reasons or otherwise.
Prolonged problems may threaten the commercial viability of its operations.

Legal Systems

There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licenses,
license applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected
by changes in governments, the actions of government authorities or others, or
the effectiveness and enforcement of such arrangements.

Marketability of Production

The marketability of the Company's production depends in part
upon a variety of factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control. Some
of these factors include the Company's ability to transport its crude oil to
market, access processing facilities and refining capacity and obtain required
regulatory approvals. Other factors include the nature of the crude oil the
Company produces, the availability, proximity and capacity of production
gathering systems and pipelines, state control and regulation of crude oil and
natural gas production, transportation and export and government intervention in
the internal energy demand and supply balance. If marketability factors change,
the impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues and operate profitably
could be substantial.

Title to Properties

Although title reviews will be done according to industry
standards prior to the purchase of most oil and natural gas producing properties
or the commencement of drilling wells, such reviews do not guarantee or certify
that an unforeseen defect in the chain of title will not arise to defeat the
claim of the Company which could result in a reduction of the revenue received
by the Company.

Environmental Regulation and Risks

National and local environmental laws and regulations in Egypt
and Yemen affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set
various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental
quality, provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such
standards and establish in certain circumstances obligations to remediate
current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were
conducted. In addition, special provisions may be appropriate or required in
environmentally sensitive areas of operation. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not incur substantial financial obligations in connection with
environmental compliance.

Significant liability could be imposed on the Company for
damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the
environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of properties
purchased by the Company or non-compliance with environmental laws or
regulations. Such liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Moreover, the Company cannot predict what environmental legislation or
regulations will be enacted in the future or how existing or future laws or
regulations will be administered or enforced. Compliance with more stringent
laws or regulations, or more vigorous enforcement policies of any regulatory
authority, could in the future require material expenditures by the Company for
the installation and operation of systems and equipment for remedial measures,
any or all of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Natural Disasters and Weather-Related Risks

TransGlobe is subject to operating hazards normally associated
with the exploration and production of oil and gas, including blowouts,
explosions, oil spills, pollution, earthquakes, labour disruptions and fires.
The occurrence of any such operating hazards could result in substantial losses
to the Company due to injury or loss of life and damage to or destruction of oil
and gas wells, formations, production facilities or other properties.

INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

Government Regulation Generally

The oil and gas industry is subject to extensive controls and
regulations governing its operations (including land tenure, exploration,
development, production, refining, transportation and marketing) imposed by
legislation enacted by the various levels of government in Canada, Yemen and
Egypt and with respect to pricing and taxation of oil and natural gas by
agreements among the governments of Canada, Alberta, Yemen and Egypt, all of
which should be carefully considered by investors in the oil and gas industry.
It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect the
Company's operations in a manner materially different than they would affect
other oil and gas companies of similar size. All current legislation is a matter
of public record and the Company is unable to predict what additional
legislation or amendments may be enacted. Outlined below are some of the
principal aspects of legislation, regulations and agreements governing the oil
and gas industry.

Pricing and Marketing  Oil and Natural Gas

In Egypt, producers of oil negotiate sales contracts directly
with oil purchasers, with the result that the market determines the price of
oil. The price depends in part on oil quality, prices of competing fuels,
distance to market, the value of refined products and the supply/demand balance.
Egypt is not currently a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries ("OPEC").

In Yemen, producers of oil negotiate sales contracts directly
with oil purchasers, with the result that the market determines the price of
oil. The price depends in part on oil quality, prices of competing fuels,
distance to market, the value of refined products and the supply/demand balance.
Yemen is not currently a member of OPEC.

Pipeline Capacity

Both in Egypt and Yemen, export oil pipelines are owned by the
respective government through cost recovery. Access to the export pipelines is
negotiated with the government. Sufficient export capacity currently exists,
however, industry and market conditions may affect export capacity in the
future.

Royalties and Incentives

In Egypt, the respective PSCsdetermine the production
sharing splits for the oil produced within the respective areas. The Company's
share of royalties and taxes are paid out of the government's share of
production sharing oil.

In Yemen, the respective PSAsdetermine the production
sharing splits for the oil produced within the respective areas. The Company's
share of royalties and taxes are paid out of the government's share of
production sharing oil.

Environmental Regulation

The oil and natural gas industry is currently subject to
environmental regulations pursuant to a variety of local laws and regulations.
Such legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on the release or
emission of various substances produced in association with certain oil and gas
industry operations. In addition, such legislation requires that well and
facility sites be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of authorities.
Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a
breach of such requirements may result in suspension or revocation of necessary
licenses and authorizations, civil liability for pollution damage and the
imposition of material fines and penalties.

52

Trends

Certain trends that have been developing in the oil and gas
industry during the past several years appear to be shaping the near future of
the business.

One of the trends is the volatility of commodity prices.
Following TransGlobe's divestment of all of its Canadian assets in April 2008,
the Company's production consists entirely of crude oil. Crude oil prices are
influenced by the world economy and OPEC's ability to adjust supply to world
demand. During the latter part of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, crude oil
prices declined to multi-year lows due to the world economic crisis and the
resulting reduction in demand for the commodity. With reduced volatility in the
world financial markets, crude oil prices have strengthened throughout the
balance of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010.

The impact on the oil and gas industry from commodity price
volatility is significant. During periods of high prices, producers generate
sufficient cash flows to conduct active exploration programs without external
capital. Increased commodity prices frequently translate into very busy periods
for service suppliers triggering premium costs for their services. Purchasing
land and properties similarly increase in price during these periods. During low
commodity price periods, acquisition costs drop, as do internally generated
funds to spend on exploration and development activities. With decreased demand,
the prices charged by the various service suppliers also decline.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Additional information, including directors' and officers'
remuneration and indebtedness, principal holders of the Company's securities and
options to purchase securities, if applicable, is contained in the Company's
Information Circular for the most recent annual meeting of shareholders that
involved the election of directors. Additional financial information is provided
for in the Company's financial statements and the management's discussion and
analysis for the year ended December 31, 2009. These documents, along with other
documents affecting the rights of securityholders and other information relating
to the Company, may be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

SCHEDULE "A" FORM 51-101F2REPORT ON RESERVES DATA

To the board of directors of TransGlobe Energy Corporation (the
"Company"):

|1. | We have evaluated the Company's reserves data as at
      December 31, 2009. The reserves data are estimates of proved reserves and
      probable reserves and related future net revenues at December 31, 2009,
      estimated using forecast prices and costs.

|2. | The reserves data are the responsibility of the Company's
      management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the reserves
      data based on our evaluation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|   | We carried out our evaluation in accordance with
      standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the
      "COGE Handbook") prepared jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation
      Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining,
      Metallurgy & Petroleum (Petroleum Society).                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|3. | Those standards require that we plan and perform an
      evaluation to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the reserves data
      are free of material misstatement. An evaluation also includes assessing
      whether the reserves data are in accordance with principles and
      definitions presented in the COGE Handbook.                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|   |

      data of the Company evaluated by us for the year ended December 31, 2009,
      and identifies the respective portions thereof that we have audited,

      recovery.

SCHEDULE "C"

CHARTER OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

TransGlobe's Audit Committee Charter outlines the specific
roles and duties of the Committee's members.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS, AUTHORITY, AND ROLE

The Audit Committee is a committee of the Board of Directors
appointed to assist the Board in monitoring (1) the integrity of the financial
statements of the Company, (2) compliance by the Company with legal and
regulatory requirements related to financial reporting, (3) qualifications,
independence and performance of the Company's independent auditors, and (4)
performance of the Company's internal controls and financial reporting
process.

The Audit Committee has the power to conduct or authorize
investigations into any matters within its scope of responsibilities, with full
access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company, its
auditors and its legal advisors. In connection with such investigations or
otherwise in the course of fulfilling its responsibilities under this charter,
the Audit Committee has the authority to independently retain special legal,
accounting, or other consultants to advise it, and may request any officer or
employee of the Company, its independent legal counsel or independent auditor to
attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Audit Committee. In its capacity as a committee of the Board
of Directors, the Audit Committee has the power to determine the amount of
Company funds that are appropriate for payment of (1) compensation to the
Company's independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing audit reports
and performing other audit and non-audit services, (2) independent counsel and
other advisers as it determines necessary to carry out its duties and (3)
ordinary administrative expenses as it determines necessary to carry out its
duties. The Audit Committee also has the power to create specific sub-committees
with all of the investigative powers described above.

The Company's independent auditor is ultimately accountable to
the Board of Directors and to the Audit Committee; and the Board of Directors
and Audit Committee, as representatives of the Company's shareholders, have the
ultimate authority and responsibility to retain and evaluate the independent
auditor, to nominate annually the independent auditor to be proposed for
shareholder approval and to determine appropriate compensation for the
independent auditor. In the course of fulfilling its specific responsibilities
hereunder, the Audit Committee must maintain free and open communication between
the Company's independent auditors, Board of Directors and Company management.
The responsibilities of a member of the Audit Committee are in addition to such
member's duties as a member of the Board of Directors.

While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers
set forth in this charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or
conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are
complete, accurate, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. This is the responsibility of management and the independent
auditor. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to
resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditor
(other than disagreements regarding financial reporting), or to assure
compliance with laws and regulations or the Company's own policies.

MEMBERSHIP

The membership of the Audit Committee will be as follows:

- The Committee will consist of a minimum of three members of the Board of
  Directors, appointed annually, each of whom is affirmatively confirmed by the
  Board of Directors as having satisfied the independence standards specified in
  all applicable rules of the Canadian provincial securities commissions, the
  U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any securities
