World-Class Potential 5000 km2 license area offshore Republic of Guinea in Northwest Africa - equivalent to almost 215 Gulf of Mexico blocks. First shallow water well in February 2012 discovered oil in non-commercial quantities but demonstrated presence of a petroleum system in the basin and defined additional exploration opportunities. PSC key terms some of the most favorable in the oil industry for deepwater projects. 4 PSC Requirements & Terms •Drill a minimum of 1 exploration well to a depth of 2,500 meters below the seabed •Projected commencement date - May 2017 •Estimated time to completion - 42 days •Estimated cost - $46-50 million •More exploration wells may be drilled before the expiration of the exploration phase on September 22, 2017 Guinea Sierra Leone 4.8 billion barrels totalLiberia unrisked hydrocarbon resource potential
Guinea Concession History 2006-2010 2006Production Sharing Contract signed with the Republic of Guinea. Key fiscal terms remain intact today. July 2009Ray Leonard hired as new Hyperdynamics CEO. Executive management and entire Board replaced. Late 200910,000 km of 2D seismic shot to help identify the 30% most prospective acreage HDYN wants to retain. May 2010Dana farmed in as a 23% non-operating partner.
Guinea Concession History 2010-2016 Late 2010-early 20123D surveys A&B shot in shallow water, Sabu-1 drilled. Though non-commercial, this well proved the presence of the petroleum system on the block and gave important information about where commercial volumes should be located. On the basis of Sabu-1 results and 2D seismic, 3D survey C was shot in deep water. December 2012Tullow acquired 40% interest and became the Operator in March 2013 March 2014One month before planned spud date, Tullow suspended operations. In addition to perceived legal hurdles, Ebola outbreak made operations in-country impossible. Q4 2015 Despite satisfactory resolution of all legal hurdles and termination of Ebola pandemic, Tullow refused to resume drilling and fulfill its operator ’s duties under the contract and comply with “financial carry ” obligations towards HDYN. January 2016HDYN sued Tullow and Dana for damages for failure to honor the contract to drill the well.
Favorable events of the past year Legal Disputes Resolved and PSC Amendment Signed August 2016 HDYN reach a legal settlement with former partners Dana and Tullow to exit the consortium and transfer long lead items and a small amount of cash to Hyperdynamics. An amendment to the Production Sharing Contract with the government of Guinea is signed, granting us a 100% working interest, operatorship and a 1-year extension until September 2017 to continue to explore for oil. March 31, 2017 HDYN signs a Farmout Agreement giving SAPETRO a 50% participating interest in the project. Drilling is planned to start before the end of May 2017. September 2016 Key terms of the amended PSC remain some of the most favorable in the oil industry for deepwater exploration projects.
Advanced Seismic Processing by eSeisTM Netherland Sewell now estimates a mean recoverable resource of 647 MMBO for the Fatala prospect. The eSeis results indicate several direct hydrocarbon indicators, good reservoir quality and a well-defined reservoir seal. Reprocessing of data by eSeis further de-risked the Fatala prospect. Based on new eSeis results, Netherland Sewell increased its estimate of Fatala’s chance of success from 25% to 31% and Buried Hill’s from 20% to 24%. locity ratio Lithology volume… volume... sands, and sseminated gas above a hydrocarbon accumulation, a moderate fluid response consistent with oil rather than gas. analogous to known fields in West Africa. Density porosity volume… Pore pressure volumes… al porosity in our main target interval at Fatala, and porosity preserved in the Albian section at Buried Hill. at Fatala is sealed. 8

Current Status and Next Steps •SAPETRO and HDYN signed a Farmout Agreement under which SAPETRO becomes a 50% partner, will reimburse HDYN half of project costs accumulated since September 2016 – currently estimated at $4 million - and shall pay its proportionate share of ongoing project expenditures. • Currently HDYN and SAPETRO are contemplating submitting a set of “transaction documents” to the Government of Guinea in anticipation of obtaining prompt approval of the Farmout. Sharing project risks and optimizing costs • HDYN has assembled top executives on the technical and operational side in order to be the Operator, including bringing in key managers from Anadarko and Noble. • Current schedule allows HDYN to drill at least one and possibly two follow-up wells in order to pursue several developments during the subsequent PSC phases. HDYN prepared to operate exploration phase • Netherland Sewell estimates Fatala has a mean unrisked resource potential of 647 MMBOE. • A discovery with similar parameters in Senegal was recently valued pre-development at $2/BOE. • An initial discovery reduces risk on surrounding prospects with recoverable resources of about 2 billion barrels. 18 20 What is it potentially worth?

Summing Up the Guinea Opportunity Multiple large, deepwater fan and Albian shelf prospects - successful elsewhere along the West Africa margin - have been mapped on the Guinea block. Recent discoveries support the geologic concept that the Guinea Basin is similar to other offshore Atlantic Margin provinces. In our evaluation, Offshore Guinea is one of the few offshore deepwater provinces that is economic at current oil prices due to favorable geology and excellent fiscal terms A 1-year license extension through September 2017 enables us to pursue a spring 2017 drilling campaign. The Guinea Basin has been meaningfully de-risked through 3D seismic studies and the Sabu-1 well. Buried Hill prospect is analogous to Senegal discovery containing 640 MMBOE. Bamboo shows similar characteristics to Fatala. Fatala shows a potential mean unrisked recoverable resource of 647 MMBO according to NSAI, is clearly defined, and has direct hydrocarbon indicators on seismic data. We project that a 1-well program can be drilled for approximately $46-$50 million, and a second well for 25% less. 24
