A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf = 1 Bbl has been used. Boe's
  may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio
  of 6 Mcf to 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
  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. These factors include, but are not limited to, unforeseen changes in the rate of production from TransGlobe'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 TransGlobe's crude oil and natural gas reserves, changes or disruptions in the political or fiscal regimes in TransGlobe's areas of activity, changes in Canadian, Yemen or American 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, and the cost of inflation.

In particular, this Annual Information Form and the documents incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements pertaining to the following:



- the quantity of reserves;
- oil and natural gas production levels;
- capital expenditure programs;
- projections of market prices and costs;
- supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
- expectations regarding the Company's ability to raise capital and to continually
    add to reserves through acquisitions and development; and
- treatment under government regulatory and taxation regimes.

The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
  anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors
  set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Information Form:

- volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas;
- liabilities and risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations
- uncertainties associated with estimating reserves;
- competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves,
    undeveloped lands and skilled personnel;
- incorrect assessments of the value of acquisition; and
- geological, technical, drilling and processing problems.

The Company believes that the expectations reflected in those
  forward looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that
  these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements
  included in, or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Information Form
  should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date
  of this Annual Information Form, as the case may be. The Company does not intent,
  and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.

CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATES

All dollar amounts in this Annual Information Form, unless
  otherwise indicated, are stated in United States currency. The Company has adopted
  the US dollar as the functional currency for its consolidated financial statements.
  The exchange rates for the period average and end of period for the US dollar
  in terms of Canadian dollars as reported by the Bank of Canada were as follows
  for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and the three months
  ended March 31, 2004:

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

TransGlobe is an independent, Canadian based, international
  upstream oil and gas company whose main business activities include exploration,
  development and production of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas.
  The Company has exploration and production operations in Canada and in the Republic
  of Yemen.

During the past three years, TransGlobe has developed its
  business interests through a combination of exploration and development, and
  to a lesser extent, acquisitions and dispositions primarily focused on two production
  sharing agreements in Yemen (a 13.81087% working interest in Block 32 and a
  25% working interest in Block S-1) and Central Alberta in Western Canada.

The year 2001 was the first full year of production from the
  Tasour field on Block 32 in Yemen (production commenced November 4, 2000). The
  primary focus of 2001 consisted of development/exploration drilling and a 2-D
  seismic acquisition program on Block 32 and a 3-D seismic acquisition program
  on Block S-1. A small four-well drilling program was conducted in Canada.

In the year 2002, the primary focus was again on the Republic
  of Yemen. On Block 32, the Company participated in three wells and additional
  2-D seismic acquisition. On March 28, 2002, the Company elected to enter into
  the second exploration phase (21⁄2 years) on Block S-1. The Company participated
  in drilling three wells (one drilling over year end) on Block S-1, leading to
  the An Nagyah light oil discovery. A small three well drilling program was conducted
  in Canada.

In the year 2003, the primary focus was on Block S-1 in Yemen
  and an expanded exploration drilling program in Canada. On Block S-1, the An
  Nagyah light oil discovery was appraised with two wells which led to the Declaration
  of Commerciality and the filing of a Development Plan on October 14, 2003. On
  October 15, 2003, MOM approved the Development Plan and a 20 year Development
  Area of approximately 285,000 acres for Block S-1. On Block 32, the Company
  participated in five wells resulting in four oil wells for an 80% success ratio.
  In Canada, the Company drilled nine wells resulting in six gas wells, two oil
  wells and one cased potential gas well for an 88% success ratio.

In November, 2003, the Company listed on the American Stock
  Exchange ("AMEX") under the symbol TGA, which replaced the Company's previous
  listing on the NASDAQ bulletin board under the symbol TGLEF. The Company continues
  to be listed on the TSX under the symbol TGL.

SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS AND SIGNIFICANT DISPOSITIONS

There were no significant acquisitions or significant dispositions
  by the Company or any significant probable acquisition by the Company within
  or since the completion of the most recently completed financial year of the
  Company.

TRENDS

There are a number of trends that have been developing in
  the oil and gas industry during the past few years that appear to be shaping
  the future of the business.

The most significant trend impacting the Company is the continued
  volatility of both natural gas and crude oil prices. Natural gas is a commodity
  influenced by factors exclusively in North America. During 2003 we saw record
  drilling but natural gas production volumes did not grow. In 2004 to present
  date, natural gas prices have remained strong. Crude oil is influenced by a
  world economy and OPEC's ability to adjust supply to world demand. During 2003,
  crude oil prices remained strong. Historically natural gas and crude oil prices
  have been very volatile; however, management believes commodity prices will
  be strong for the balance of 2004.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The Company has recently approved a $20 million capital program for 2004.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND PRINCIPAL PROPERTIES

The Company is engaged in the exploration for, the development
  and production of crude oil and natural gas primarily in the Republic of Yemen
  and also in Central Alberta, Canada. The Company also reviews potential acquisitions
  and new international exploration blocks to supplement its exploration and development
  activities.

TransGlobe's major operations and principal activities are
  in the oil and gas exploration and production business. The Company has operated
  in the Republic of Yemen and Canada during the past three years. In the Republic
  of Yemen the Company has interests in two production sharing agreements; Block
  32 and Block S-1. In Canada all the Companys interests are located in
  the province of Alberta, primarily in central Alberta.

Block 32 Republic of Yemen



TransGlobe entered into its first international project in
  January 1997 through a farmout agreement and joint venture on Block 32. The
  Company has since participated in acquisition of seismic data, drilling of seventeen
  wells and construction of production facilities, resulting in commencement of
  Tasour field production on November 3, 2000. Production from Block 32 is pipeline
  connected to the Nexen operated export pipe line system and loading terminal
  on the Indian Ocean. TransGlobes production is sold to Nexen Marketing
  International and receives price referenced to dated Brent less a quality differential.
  The joint venture currently consists of TG Holdings Yemen Inc. (a wholly-owned
  subsidiary of TransGlobe Energy Corporation) with a 13.81087% working interest
  and partners Ansan Wikfs Hadramaut Ltd. and DNO ASA holding the balance ("the
  Block 32 Joint Venture Group"). DNO ASA (an independent Norwegian oil company)
  is the operator of the Block. The Yemen Oil Company ("YOC" - a Yemen government
  oil company) has a 5% interest in the Block 32 Joint Venture Groups production
  sharing oil.

The Block 32 development area covers 591 square kilometers
  (146,070 acres). The development area encompasses all of the Tasour structure
  and several additional prospects. The approved development/production period
  extends until the year 2020, with an optional five-year extension to 2025.

During 2003, the Block 32 Joint Venture work program consisted
  of the drilling of three development/appraisal wells and two exploration wells.
  The five wells resulted in an exploratory dry hole at Haibish and four producing
  oil wells (Tasour #8, #9, #10 and #11, summarized in the table below).

|Tasour #11 | November 2003  | 6,000 Bopd              | Qishn              

The Tasour #8 and Tasour #9 development wells confirmed the
  southern field extension discovered by Tasour #7 in 2002. The Tasour #10 well
  was a successful test of the western field extension. This discovery extended
  the mapped Tasour field length from 3.3 kilometers to approximately 6.8 kilometers.
  Tasour #11 confirmed the western field extension creating a series of new development
  locations.

The western field extension combined with continued field
  performance increased proven plus probable reserves 32% and replaced 169% of
  2003 production. Seismic mapping indicates the Tasour field could extend both
  to the west and to the east of the current wells. In late 2003, the Block 32
  Joint Venture Group approved a 100 square kilometer 3-D seismic acquisition
  survey over the greater Tasour area to refine future drilling locations. It
  is anticipated that the 3-D seismic will be completed and interpreted by June
  2004. Further development/appraisal drilling of three to four wells in the western
  and potential eastern extension is planned for 2004. One infill well is planned
  for the central Tasour pool in May 2004 (Tasour #12).

Block S-1, Republic of Yemen

TransGlobe entered into its second international exploration
  venture in 1997 by signing a Production Sharing Agreement ("PSA") for the Damis
  S-1 Block ("Block S-1") with the Ministry of Oil and Minerals ("MOM"). TG Holdings
  Yemen Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of TransGlobe Energy Corporation) entered
  into a joint venture arrangement for Block S-1 with a subsidiary of Vintage
  Petroleum Inc., a U.S. independent exploration and production company ("Block
  S-1 Joint Venture Group"). During 2000 Vintage earned a 75% working interest
  in Block S-1 by funding 100% of the work commitments for the first exploration
  period of the Block S-1 PSA and by spending a minimum of $20 million. TransGlobe
  has retained a 25% working interest in Block S-1. Vintage is the operator of
  Block S-1. The YOC has a 17.5% interest in the Block S-1 Joint Venture Groups
  share of production sharing oil.

The first exploration period ended on March 28, 2002 and the
  Block S-1 Joint Venture Group elected to proceed with a second exploration period
  of 2 1⁄2 years. The second exploration period commitments were satisfied
  by the drilling of An Naeem #2 (2000), Osaylan #1 (2002), An Nagyah #2 (2002)
  and a 3-D seismic survey (2001).

Block S-1 originally encompassed an area of 4,484 square kilometers
  (approximately 1.1 million acres). Upon declaring commerciality in October 2003,
  a final relinquishment reduced the Block to a Development Area of 1,152 square
  kilometers (284,700 acres). The Development Area is now valid until October
  2023 (20 years) with an additional five year extension available.

The 2003 drilling program commenced in September 2002 was
  completed in May 2003, resulting in three oil wells, one gas/condensate well
  and one dry hole. The wells drilled during 2003 were An Naeem #3 (gas/condensate),
  An Nagyah #3 (oil) and An Nagyah #4 (oil).

2003 Drilling Results

|             | Date Completed | Results         | Formation
|------------ | -------------- | --------------- | ---------
|An Naeem #3  | January 2003   | Gas/condensate  | Alif     
|An Nagyah #3 | March 2003     | Gas, not tested | Lam A  
|             |                | Oil: 240 Bopd   | Lam B  
|An Nagyah #4 | April 2003     | Oil: 1,320 Bopd | Lam A  

The first well, An Naeem #3, was drilled to a total depth
  of 1,623 meters to evaluate a potential oil rim on the An Naeem structure. The
  An Naeem #3 well tested gas and condensate from the Alif zone and did not encounter
  the anticipated oil rim.

The next well, An Nagyah #3, commenced drilling in February
  2003 to appraise the light oil discovery made at An Nagyah #2 (1,100 Bopd announced
  December 10, 2002). The well was drilled to a total depth of 1,292 meters and
  encountered the Upper Lam sandstones in a structurally higher position than
  the An Nagyah #2 well. Although the Upper Lam sandstones had a thicker gross
  reservoir section and better indicated porosity and permeability than found
  at An Nagyah #2, the Upper Lam was not flow tested as it was gas bearing. The
  well did test 240 Bopd of light, 42 degree API oil from a new pool in the Lower
  Lam. The core and test data indicate the Lower Lam reservoir has less porosity
  and permeability than the Upper Lam reservoir and therefore may require stimulation
  to enhance production. The discovery of a new productive horizon in the Lower
  Lam should augment development economics.

The next well in the program, An Nagyah #4, was drilled to
  a total depth of 1,547 meters and tested 1,320 barrels of light oil (45 degrees
  API) from the Upper Lam reservoir. The An Nagyah #4 well encountered a much
  thicker gross sand package and defined a 60 meter (197 feet) total oil column
  in the Nagyah pool. A longer term test of the An Nagyah #4 well was carried
  out during June/July confirming the original flow rates and pressures. The successful
  appraisal well at An Nagyah #4 convinced the Block S-1 partners to declare commerciality
  and proceed with development of the field.

Development Plan

On October 14, 2003 the Company announced the Declaration
  of Commerciality and on October 15, 2003 the Ministry of Oil and Minerals approved
  the Block S-1 Development Plan and Development Area of approximately 1,150 square
  kilometers (285,000 acres). The large Development Area encompasses the An Naeem,
  Harmel and An Nagyah discoveries as well as numerous additional prospects for
  future exploration drilling. The Development/Production period will extend until
  2023 with an optional five year extension also possible.

The initial field development is focused on the An Nagyah
  light oil pool which was discovered and appraised during the 2002/2003 drilling
  program. The plan provides for early production commencing in the first quarter
  of 2004 by trucking up to 2,500 Bopd (625 Bopd to TransGlobe) from An Nagyah
  wells to the Hunt operated Halewah facility.

The construction of a central production facility ("CPF")
  at An Nagyah and a 28 kilometer (18 mile) pipeline to the Jannah Hunt Halewah
  export pipeline is planned during 2004, with an anticipated completion by early
  2005. The pipeline design was increased from an 8 inch to a 10 inch pipeline
  to allow future discoveries to be placed on stream quickly (ultimate capacity
  of 80,000 Bopd). The CPF is designed for an initial capacity of 10,000 Bopd
  (2,500 Bopd to TransGlobe), with expansion capabilities. The initial front end
  engineering and design ("FEED") study is complete. Bid requests for detailed
  engineering and for long lead time major equipment have been issued.

It is expected that the An Nagyah field development will consist
  of 13 wells to delineate and produce the field. The first development/appraisal
  well (An Nagyah #5) commenced drilling on the western area of the An Nagyah
  field on March 8, 2004. An Nagyah #5 was drilled to a total depth of 1,300 meters
  and completed as an Upper Lam A oil producer. The well flow tested
  at a rate of 1,150 Bopd of 45 degree API oil. The second development/appraisal
  well (An Nagyah #6), positioned between An Nagyah #2 and An Nagyah #4, commenced
  drilling on April 7, 2004. An Nagyah #6 was drilled to a total depth of 1,207
  metrs and completed as an Upper Lam 'A' oil producer. The well flow tested at
  a rate of 1, 140 Bopd of 42 degree API oil. The well is being equipped for early
  production via

trucking which is expected to commence in early May. The third
  development/appraisal well (AN Nagyah #7), located west of An Nagyah #5, commenced
  drilling May 2, 2004. Following An Nagyah #7, it is expected the drilling rig
  will be moved to Harmel #2 to appraise the shallow depth, medium gravity oil
  discovered in Harmel #1. Additional development wells in the An Nagyah pool
  are expected to be drilled in the third and fourth quarters of 2004 and into
  2005.

The early production (trucking) facilities at the An Nagyah
  field were installed during the first quarter of 2004 and field production operations
  commenced on An Nagyah #4 on March 28, 2004. With the addition of An Nagyah
  #5 in April, production has been increased to approximately 2,000 Bopd. With
  the addition of An Nagyah #6 in May, it is anticipated that production will
  increase to 2,500 Bopd (approximately 625 Bopd to TransGlobe) as the trucking
  operation is expanded. The oil production is currently being trucked 18 miles
  to the Jannah Hunt facility where it is blended with the Marib light crude and
  transported by pipeline to the Ras Isa loading terminal on the Red Sea.

Canada



TransGlobe acquired its Canadian operations in April 1999.
  The majority of the Canadian operations are operated by TransGlobe and are focused
  almost entirely in the southern/central part of the province of Alberta. The
  Nevis area is the major producing area for the Company in Canada. The primary
  focus at Nevis is the drilling and development of Wabamum gas production and
  several shallower secondary targets. The Wabamum is characterized as being a
  tighter , long life gas reserves which may require additional wells per section
  to fully develop the resource. The Nevis wells are connected to existing pipeline
  systems and all the gas is processed through third party gas plants. In addition
  to the Nevis area, the Company has expanded the Canadian operations into several
  new emerging areas at Twining, Morningside and Lone Pine, where additional drilling
  is planned for 2004.

Notes:

|(1) | Gross reserves are the Company's working interest
        share before the deduction of royalties.

|(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.

ESTIMATED FUTURE NET REVENUES

The estimated future net revenues presented do not represent
  fair market value. The estimated future net revenues presented below are calculated
  using the average price received during the final month of the respective reporting
  periods. The prices were held constant and costs were not inflated for the life
  of the reserves, as summarized in the Notes to Reserves Data Tables (Note 4).

|(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.

        those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved
        reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered
        will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable
        reserves.

|(c) | Developed reservesare
        those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and
        installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would
        involve a low expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling
        a well) to put the reserves on production. The developed category may
        be subdivided into producing and non-producing.

|(d) | Undeveloped reservesare
        those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where
        a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling
        a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully
        meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable)
        to which they are assigned.
      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

|    | 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.
      Additional clarification of certainty levels associated
        with reserves estimates and the effect of aggregation is provided in the
        COGE Handbook.

|7. | In Yemen, estimated future abandonment and reclamations
        costs related to properties evaluated have not been taken into account
        by Fekete in determining the aggregate future net revenue therefrom. Under
        the terms of the production sharing agreements, ownership in the facilities
        and wells is transferred to the Government of Yemen through cost recovery.
        Therefore the future abandonment and reclamation costs have been assessed
        a zero value.
      In Canada, estimated future abandonment and reclamation
        costs related to a property have been taken into account by OSA in determining
        reserves that should be attributed to a property and in determining the
        aggregate future net revenue therefrom, there was deducted the reasonable
        estimated future well abandonment costs. No allowance was made, however,
        for reclamation of wellsites or the abandonment and reclamation of any
        facilities.

|(2)   | In 2003, Probable Undeveloped Reserves were assigned
        in Yemen and Canada. The light oil reserves were assigned to a portion
        of the mapped An Nagyah light oil discovery on Block S-1 in Yemen. The
        An Nagyah pool is scheduled for development during 2004 and 2005; with
        the installation of a central production facility, an 18 mile export pipe
        line, associated gathering facilities and drilling appraisal development
        wells. Drilling commenced in the 1st quarter of 2004 and is
        expected to continue into 2005, and it is expected the facilities will
        be operational by the 2nd quarter of 2005. The Natural Gas
        reserves and associated liquids were assigned in Canada, and generally
        related to the Wabamum formation in the Nevis area. It is expected that
        down spacing to 320 acres will be approved in the next year, with drilling
        (2 wells) planned for 2004/2005.

|(1)   | "Dry well" means a well which is not a productive
        well or a service well. A productive well is a well which 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.
        Includes 1 Gross (1.0 Net) cased potential gas well in Canada.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

No director, officer or promoter of TransGlobe has, within
  the last ten years, been a director, officer or promoter of any reporting issuer
  that, while such person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease
  trade or similar order or an order that denied the company access to any statutory
  exemption for a period of more than 30 consecutive days or was declared a bankrupt
  or made a voluntary assignment in bankruptcy, made a proposal under any legislation
  relating to bankruptcy or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement
  or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver-manager or trustee
  appointed to hold the assets of that person.

Penalties or Sanctions

No director, officer or promoter of the Company, within the
  last 10 years, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court
  or securities regulatory authority relating to trading in securities, promotion
  or management of a publicly traded issuer or theft or fraud.

Personal Bankruptcies

No director, officer or promoter of the Company, or a shareholder
  holding sufficient securities of the Company to affect materially the control
  of the Company, or a personal holding company of any such persons, has, within
  the 10 years preceding the date of this document, become bankrupt, made a proposal
  under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or being subject
  to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or
  had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of
  the individual.

Conflicts of Interest

Directors and officers of the Company may, from time to time,
  be involved with the business and operations of other oil and gas issuers, in
  which case a conflict may arise. See "Risk Factors".

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Company currently employs 10 full-time employees and 3
  part-time consultants. The Company intends to add additional professional and
  administrative staff as the needs arise.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The auditors of the Company are Deloitte & Touche LLP,
  Chartered Accountants, Suite 3000, 700  2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta
  T2P 0S7.

Computershare Trust Company of Canada, at its principal office
  in Calgary, Alberta is the transfer agent and registrar of the common shares
  of the Company.

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 gas including geological
  risks, operating risks, political risks, development risks, marketing risks,
  and logistical risks of operating in Yemen.

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.

---

35

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, 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 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 federal,
  state and 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. Additionally, the potential impact
  on the Company's operations and business of the Kyoto Protocol which has now
  been ratified by Canada, with respect to instituting reductions of greenhouse
  gases is difficult to quantify at this time as specific measures for meeting
  Canada's commitments have not been developed.

Exploration and Development

The Company's participation in Block 32 and Block S-1 in Yemen
  represents a major undertaking. The exploration program in Yemen is a high-risk
  venture 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 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 from Canada, the United States and Republic of Yemen,
  the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and the effect of provincial,
  state or federal regulations.

Title to Properties

The Company's interests in the Canadian producing properties
  and non-producing properties are in the form of direct or indirect interests
  in leases. Such properties are subject to customary royalty interests generally
  contracted for in connection with the acquisition of properties, liens incident
  to operating agreements, liens for current taxes and other

---

36

burdens and mineral encumbrances and restrictions. The Company
  believes that none of these burdens materially interferes with the use of such
  properties in the operation of the Company's business.

Interests in Properties

The Company participates, in Canada 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.

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 have no more restrictive effect on
  the Company's method of operations than on similar companies in the industry.

Political Risks Relating to Yemen

Beyond the risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, the
  Company is subject to additional risks resulting from doing business in Yemen.
  While the Company has attempted to reduce many of these risks through agreements
  with the Government of 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 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 Yemen and the MOM 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 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 Yemen.

Multi-jurisdictional Legal Risks

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Province
  of British Columbia, 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.

37

Reserve Information

The reserve and recovery information contained in the each
  of the OSA Report and the Fekete 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 reports. Each of the OSA Report and the Fekete
  Report have 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 reports, 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 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 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 strengthened during
  2003 and may fluctuate over time. As product prices are generally US dollar
  based, the Company's exposure to currency exchange rate risks are primarily
  limited to Canadian capital expenditures, Canadian operating costs and the majority
  of the Company's G&A which are paid for in Canadian dollars.

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.

38

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 dependant 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.

INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

The oil and gas industry is subject to extensive controls
  and regulations imposed by various levels of government in both Canada and Yemen.
  Outlined below are some of the more significant aspects of the legislation,
  regulations and agreements governing the oil and gas industry in the jurisdictions
  in which the Company operates. All current legislation is a matter of public
  record and the Company is unable to predict what additional legislation or amendments
  may be enacted.

Government Regulation Generally

The oil and natural gas industry in each of Yemen and Canada
  is subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of
  government. It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will
  affect the operations of TransGlobe in a manner materially different than they
  would affect other oil and gas companies of similar size.

Pricing and Marketing - Oil

In Canada, 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. Oil
  exports may be made pursuant to export contracts with terms not exceeding 1
  year in the case of light crude, and not exceeding 2 years in the case of heavy
  crude, provided that an order approving any such export has been obtained from
  the National Energy Board ("NEB"). Any oil export to be made pursuant to a contract
  of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) requires an exporter to obtain
  an export licence from the NEB and the issue of such a licence requires the
  approval of the Governor in Council.

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.

Pricing and Marketing - Natural Gas

In Canada, the price of natural gas sold in interprovincial
  and international trade is determined by negotiation between buyers and sellers.
  Natural gas exported from Canada is subject to regulation by the NEB and the
  Government of Canada. Exporters are free to negotiate prices and other terms
  with purchasers, provided that the export contracts must continue to meet certain
  criteria prescribed by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Natural gas exports
  for a term of less than 2 years or for a term of 2 to 20 years (in quantities
  of not more than 30,000m3/day), must be made pursuant to an NEB order. Any natural
  gas export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum
  of 25 years) or a larger quantity requires an exporter to obtain an export licence
  from the NEB and the issue of such a licence requires the approval of the Governor
  in Council.

The Company's principal oil and gas operations in Canada are
  located in the Province of Alberta. The government of Alberta regulates the
  volume of natural gas, which may be removed from those provinces for consumption
  elsewhere based on such factors as reserve availability, transportation arrangement
  and market considerations.

---

39

Pipeline Capacity

In Canada, although pipeline expansions are ongoing, the lack
  of firm pipeline capacity continues to affect the oil and natural gas industry
  and limit the ability to produce and to market natural gas production. The pro
  rating of capacity on the interprovincial pipeline systems also continues to
  affect the ability to export oil.

In Yemen, export oil pipelines are owned by the government
  of Yemen 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.

The North American Free Trade Agreement

On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement
  ("NAFTA") among the governments of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico became effective.
  NAFTA carries forward most of the material energy terms contained in the Canada-U.S.
  Free Trade Agreement. In the context of energy resources, Canada continues to
  remain free to determine whether exports to the U.S. or Mexico will be allowed
  provided that any export restrictions do not: (i) reduce the proportion of energy
  resource exported relative to domestic use (based upon the proportion prevailing
  in the most recent 36 month period), (ii) impose an export price higher than
  the domestic price, and (iii) disrupt normal channels of supply. All three countries
  are prohibited from imposing minimum export or import price requirements.

NAFTA contemplates the reduction of Mexican restrictive trade
  practices in the energy sector and prohibits discriminatory border restrictions
  and export taxes. The agreement also contemplates clearer disciplines on regulators
  to ensure fair implementation of any regulatory changes and to minimize disruption
  of contractual arrangements, which is important for Canadian natural gas exports.

Royalties and Incentives

In addition to federal regulation, each province has legislation
  and regulations which govern land tenure, royalties, production rates, environmental
  protection and other matters. The royalty regime is a significant factor in
  the profitability of oil and natural gas production. Royalties payable on production
  from lands other than Crown lands are determined by negotiations between the
  mineral owner and the lessee. Crown royalties are determined by government regulation
  and are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the gross production,
  and the rate of royalties payable generally depends in part on prescribed reference
  prices, well productivity, geographical location, field discovery date and the
  type or quality of the petroleum product produced.

From time to time the governments of Canada and the province
  of Alberta have established incentive programs which have included royalty rate
  reductions, royalty holidays and tax credits for the purpose of encouraging
  natural gas exploration or enhanced planning projects.

In Alberta, the royalty reserved to the Crown is subject to
  various incentives, and varies between 15% and 30% in the case of new gas and
  between 15% and 35% in the case of old gas, depending upon the posted reference
  price each month. Royalties on propane, butane and ethane are constant at 30%.
  While royalties on pentane and pentanes plus are variable. Alberta Crown royalties
  on oil production are calculated on a sliding scale basis.

In Alberta, natural gas produced from qualifying intervals
  in eligible gas wells spudded or deepened to a depth below 8,200 feet is subject
  to a royalty exemption, with the amount of the exemption varying with depth
  of the well. Oil produced from qualifying new pools is eligible for a third
  tier oil royalty rate. In addition, there is a royalty reduction for approved
  horizontal well re-entries.

In Alberta, a producer of oil or natural gas is entitled to
  a credit against the royalties payable to the Crown by virtue of the Alberta
  royalty tax credit program. The Alberta royalty tax credit program is based
  on a price sensitive formula, and the Alberta royalty tax credit rate currently
  varies between 75% at prices of oil below $15.89 per Bbl and 25% at prices above
  $33.37 per Bbl. The Alberta royalty tax credit rate is applied to a maximum
  of $2,000,000 of Alberta Crown royalties payable for each producer or associated
  group of producers. Crown royalties on production from producing properties
  acquired from corporations claiming maximum entitlement to Alberta royalty tax
  credit will generally not be eligible for Alberta royalty tax credit. The rate
  is established quarterly based on the average "par price", as determined by
  Alberta Resource Development for the previous quarterly period.

In Yemen, the respective Production Sharing Agreements determine
  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 in both Yemen and Canada
  is currently subject to environmental regulation pursuant to existing federal,
  provincial and state legislation. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions
  and prohibitions on releases or emissions of various substances produced or
  utilized in association with certain oil and gas industry operations. In addition,
  legislation in Canada requires that well and facility sites be abandoned and
  reclaimed to the satisfaction of provincial authorities. A breach of such legislation
  may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.

The Company is committed to meeting its responsibilities to
  protect the environment wherever it operates and anticipates making increased,
  although not material, expenditures of both a capital and expense nature as
  a result of the increasingly stringent laws relating to the protection of the
  environment. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with environmental
  laws and regulations applicable as at the date hereof.

Kyoto Protocol

In December of 2002, Canada became a signatory to the Kyoto
  Protocol. The implementation of this plan has not been fully defined by the
  Federal Government. Until an implementation plan is developed, it is impossible
  to assess the impact on specific industries and individual businesses within
  an industry. It is generally believed that the oil and gas industry, as a major
  producer of carbon dioxide (as a necessary by-product and emission of hydrocarbon
  production), will bear a disproportionately large share of the anticipated cost
  of implementation.

|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.

        forth the estimated future net revenue (before deduction of income taxes)
        attributed to proved plus probable reserves, estimated using forecast
        prices and costs and calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent, included
        in the reserves data of the Company evaluated by us for the year ended
        December 31, 2003, and identifies the respective portions thereof that

        respectively evaluated by us have, in all material respects, been determined
        and are in accordance with the COGE Handbook. We express no opinion on
        the reserves data that we reviewed but did not audit or evaluate.

|7. | Because the reserves data are based
        on judgements regarding future events, actual results will vary and the
        variations may be material.

|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.                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|4.  | The following table sets
        forth the estimated future net revenue (before deduction of income taxes)
        attributed to proved plus probable reserves, estimated using forecast
        prices and costs and calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent, included
        in the reserves data of TransGlobe Energy Corporation evaluated by us
        for the year ended December 31, 2003, and identifies the respective portions
        thereof that we have evaluated and reported on to the Companys Board
        of Directors:
