Gentlemen:

Pursuant to your request, we have conducted an independent evaluation, completed on the date of this letter report, to serve as a
reserves audit of the extent and value of the proved, probable, and possible oil, natural gas, and condensate reserves, as of December 31, 2010, of certain properties owned by TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. (TransAtlantic) in Turkey.
TransAtlantic has represented that these properties account for 99.9 percent, the balance considered de minimus, on a net equivalent barrel basis, of TransAtlantics net proved, probable, and possible reserves, as of December 31, 2010.

Estimates of proved, probable, and possible reserves presented in this report have been prepared in compliance with the
regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reserves definitions are discussed in detail under the Definition of Reserves heading of this report.

Reserves included herein are expressed as net reserves. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced from
these properties after December 31, 2010. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by TransAtlantic after deducting interests owned by others.

Gas quantities estimated herein are expressed as sales gas. Sales gas is defined as that portion of the total gas to be delivered into a
gas pipeline for sale after separation, processing, fuel use, and flare. Gas reserves are expressed at a temperature base of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and at a pressure base of

14.70 pounds per square inch absolute (psia). Oil and condensate reserves estimated herein are those to be recovered by conventional lease separation.

Values of proved, probable, and possible reserves shown herein are expressed in terms of estimated future gross revenue, future net
revenue, and present worth. Future gross revenue is that revenue which will accrue to the appraised interests from the production and sale of the estimated net reserves. Future net revenue is defined as the future gross revenue less direct operating
expenses and capital costs. Direct operating expenses include field operating expenses, transportation expenses, compression charges, and an allocation of overhead that directly relates to production activities. Future income tax expenses were not
taken into account in the preparation of these estimates. Present worth is defined as future net revenue discounted at a specified arbitrary discount rate compounded monthly over the expected period of realization.

Estimates of oil, natural gas, and condensate reserves and future net revenue should be regarded only as estimates that may change as
further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such reserves and revenue 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.

Data used in this audit were obtained from reviews with
TransAtlantic personnel, from TransAtlantic files, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information
furnished by TransAtlantic with respect to property interests, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production,
and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination of the properties was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.

Methodology and Procedures

Estimates of reserves were prepared by
the use of appropriate geologic, petroleum engineering, and evaluation principles and techniques that are in accordance with practices generally recognized by the petroleum industry as

presented in the publication of the Society of Petroleum Engineers entitled Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (Revision as of
February 19, 2007). The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history.

When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and the original gas in place
(OGIP). Structure and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity
and water saturation. When adequate data were available and when circumstances justified, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate OOIP or OGIP.

Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP or OGIP. 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 production histories. When applicable, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors. An analysis of reservoir performance, including
production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-oil ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves.

For depletion-type
reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the
analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate.

Definition of Reserves

Petroleum reserves included in this report
are classified by degree of proof as proved, probable, or possible. Reserves classifications used in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4-10(a) (l)-(32) of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be
economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods

and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using
prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves
are classified as follows:

Proved oil and gas reserves Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil
and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating
methods, and government regulationsprior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used
for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if
any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons
(LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the
structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and



---

DEGOLYER AND MACNAUGHTON



reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir
as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and
(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price
shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices
are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Probable reserves Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of
estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

(ii) Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or



---

DEGOLYER AND MACNAUGHTON



interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves
may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(iii) Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

(iv) See also guidelines in paragraphs (iv) and (vi) of the definition of possible reserves.

Possible reserves Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable
reserves.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low
probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus
possible reserves estimates.

(ii) Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves
where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from
the reservoir by a defined project.

(iii) Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater
percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

DEGOLYER AND MACNAUGHTON



(iv) The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates
must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

(v) Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the
same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent
portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(vi) Pursuant to paragraph (iii) of the proved oil and gas reserves definition, where direct observation has defined a highest known
oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty
through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

Developed oil and gas reserves Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be
recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required
equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and



---

8

DEGOLYER AND MACNAUGHTON



(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time
of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Undeveloped oil and gas reserves Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of
production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the
specific circumstances justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be
attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as
defined in [section 210.4-10 (a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

The extent to which probable and possible reserves ultimately may be reclassified as proved reserves is dependent upon future drilling, testing, and well performance. The degree of risk to be applied in
evaluating probable and possible reserves is influenced by economic and technological factors as well as the time element. Probable and possible reserves in this report have not been adjusted in consideration of these additional risks and therefore
are not comparable with proved reserves.

Primary Economic Assumptions

The following economic assumptions were used for estimating existing and future prices and costs:

Oil, Condensate, and Natural Gas Prices

Prices used in this evaluation were based on a 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior
to the end of the reporting period. An average reference oil price during this period is dated Brent at 79.02 United States dollars (U.S.$) per barrel. An average reference gas price during this period is the United Kingdom National Balancing Point
Index of U.S.$6.51 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for gas. The weighted average prices attributable to estimated proved reserves over the lives of the properties were U.S.$79.00 per barrel for oil and/or condensate and U.S.$7.77 per Mcf for gas.
Prices were held constant in this evaluation.

Operating Expenses and Capital Costs

Estimates of operating expenses based on current expenses were used for the lives of the properties with no increases in the future based
on inflation. In certain cases, future expenses, either higher or lower than current expenses, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions. Future capital expenditures were estimated using 2010 values and were not
adjusted for inflation.

Abandonment Costs

Abandonment costs were provided by TransAtlantic. These costs were estimated using 2010 values and were not adjusted for inflation.

Taxes

TransAtlantic has represented that there are no production taxes to be paid in Turkey. No other taxes were considered in this evaluation.

While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participants
ability to recover its oil and gas reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2010, oil, condensate, and gas volumes estimated herein. The reserves estimated in this report
can be produced under current regulatory guidelines.

Summary of Oil and Gas Reserves and Revenue

The estimates of net proved, probable, and possible reserves attributable to the properties appraised, as of December 31, 2010, are
