TGL TransGlobe Energy Corporation

TransGlobe Energy Corporation (“TransGlobe” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. All dollar values are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated. TransGlobe's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements together with the notes related thereto, as well as TransGlobe's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, are available on TransGlobe's website at www.trans-globe.com.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

• Second quarter sales averaged 16,542 boe/d including 366.3 Mbbls sold to EGPC for net proceeds of $22.2 million and one cargo lifting of 498.6 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil for net proceeds of $29.1 million (collected in May 2021). The overlift portion of the cargo (~129.5 Mbbls) was settled against outstanding receivables from EGPC during the quarter;
• Average realized price for Q2-2021 sales of $56.48/boe; Q2-2021 average realized price on Egyptian sales of $60.27/bbl and Canadian sales of $33.61/boe;
• Funds flow from operations of $17.1 million ($0.24 per share) in the quarter;
• Second quarter net earnings of $7.7 million ($0.11 per share), inclusive of a $1.2 million unrealized loss on derivative commodity contracts;
• Ended the second quarter with positive working capital of $17.1 million, including cash of $43.6 million;
• Subsequent to the quarter, the Company sold a ~500 Mbbl cargo of Egypt entitlement crude oil with proceeds expected in August 2021;

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:

• Second quarter production averaged 13,077 boe/d (Egypt 10,727 bbls/d, Canada 2,350 boe/d), an increase of 856 boe/d (7%) from the previous quarter. Increase primarily due to improved well optimization activities in Egypt, the full oil production impact of the SGZ-6X lower Bahariya recompletion, and return to production in Canada of the 2-20 well following the 13-16 completion and stimulation plus the latter’s production contribution;
• Production in July averaged ~13,414 boe/d (Egypt ~11,308 bbls/d, Canada ~2,106 boe/d), an increase of 3% from Q2-2021;
• Ended the quarter with 140.3 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil inventory, a decrease of 315.4 Mbbls from Q1-2021. This decrease is due to an increase in sales volumes as a result of the Q2 cargo lifting, partially offset by an increase in production;
• Drilled two development oil wells at West Bakr in the Eastern Desert, Egypt, both successfully encountering oil-bearing sands and placed on production;
• On June 30, 2021 the Company spud the first of three 100% working interest horizontal oil development wells (one 2-mile, two 1-mile) located approximately four miles to the northwest of the 2-20 location in TransGlobe’s Cardium extension into the South Harmattan area in Canada, with drilling and casing completed in July; and

CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The Company announced a merged concession agreement with a 15-year primary term and improved Company economics on December 3, 2020. The agreement is currently awaiting ratification by the Egyptian Parliament but will have a February 2020 effective date upon ratification. As such, the results achieved in Q2-2021 and year to-date are exclusive of any effective date adjustments that will be made upon ratification.

CORPORATE SUMMARY

TransGlobe Energy Corporation ("TransGlobe" or the "Company") produced an average of 13,077 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boe/d") during the second quarter of 2021. Egypt production was 10,727 barrels of oil per day ("bbls/d") and Canada production was 2,350 boe/d. Production for the quarter was slightly above full year 2021 guidance of 12,000 to 13,000 boe/d and 7% higher than the previous quarter. The increase is primarily due to improved well optimization activities in Egypt, the impact of the SGZ-6X lower Bahariya recompletion, and a return to production in Canada of the 2-20 well, taken offline to allow for the 13-16 completion plus the latter’s production contribution.

TransGlobe's Egyptian crude oil is sold at a quality discount to Dated Brent. The Company received an average price of $60.27 per barrel in Egypt during the quarter. In Canada, the Company received an average of $63.05 per barrel of oil, $27.03 per barrel of NGLs and $2.58 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas during the quarter.

During Q2-2021, the Company had funds flow from operations of $17.1 million and ended the quarter with positive working capital of $17.1 million, including cash of $43.6 million. The Company had net earnings in the quarter of $7.7 million, inclusive of a $1.2 million unrealized derivative loss on commodity contracts which represents a fair value adjustment on the Company's hedging contracts at June 30, 2021.

In Egypt, the Company sold 366.3 thousand barrels (“Mbbls”) of entitlement crude oil to the Egyptian General Petroleum Company (“EGPC”) and sold one cargo lifting of 498.6 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil. The overlift portion of the cargo (~129.5 Mbbls) was settled against outstanding receivables from EGPC during the quarter. At June 30, 2021 entitlement crude oil inventory was 140.3 Mbbls. The decrease in inventoried crude oil is attributed to a significant increase in sales volumes as a result of the Q2-2021 cargo lifting, partially offset by an increase in production. Subsequent to the quarter, TransGlobe sold a ~500 Mbbl cargo of Egypt entitlement crude oil. The cargo volumes were in excess of crude oil inventories at the time of lifting. The Company expects to reach a settlement on the overlift in Q3-2021. All Canadian production was sold during the quarter.

As announced on December 3, 2020, the Company has reached an agreement with EGPC to merge its three existing Eastern Desert concessions with a 15-year primary term and improved Company economics. As previously announced, the Company held discussions with the Ministry of Petroleum during Q2-2021, and was informed that due to the recent Egyptian election combined with internal process changes for ratification, the Ministry is now expecting ratification to occur in the second half of 2021. The February 1, 2020 effective date for the improved concession terms and assurances from the Ministry is supportive of increased investment in advance of ratification.

In Egypt, following the mobilization of the rig from the Western Desert, the Company drilled two development oil wells in the Eastern Desert at West Bakr. The HW-8 development oil well was drilled to a total depth of 1,640.5 meters, successfully encountering oil-bearing sands in the Yusr-C and Bakr formations, and was brought into production at a field estimated 622 bbls/d late in the quarter. The K-64 development oil well was drilled to a total depth of 1,538.0 meters, successfully encountering oil-bearing sands in the Asl-A, Asl-B and Asl-D formations, and was brought into production at a field estimated 609 bbls/d subsequent to the quarter.

In anticipation of increased gross fluid offtake to be generated by new projects in the new merged concession area, the Company has accelerated plans to upgrade its water management systems in H2-2021. The Company remains forward looking and prepared to use its operational control to take advantage of any sustained upward movement in oil price.

In Canada, the previously drilled and equipped 2-mile horizontal well at South Harmattan has achieved a calculated IP30 estimate of 286 boe/d (247 bbls/d light oil, 131 Mcf/d gas, 17 bbls/d NGL) and a calculated IP60 estimated at 242 boe/d (199 bbls/d light oil, 144 Mcf/d gas, 19 bbls/d NGL), both on a productive day basis. Lease construction was completed in support of the drilling of three 100% working interest horizontal oil development wells (one 2-mile and two 1-mile) located approximately four miles to the northwest of the 2-20 location in TransGlobe’s Cardium extension into the South Harmattan area. The first well of this back-to-back drilling program spud on June 30, 2021 and was drilled and cased in July. Subsequent to the quarter, the second and third wells in the Canadian drilling program were drilled and cased. All three wells were drilled on time and on budget.

Dependent upon anticipated rig efficiencies, the Company expects to drill two additional wells (an exploration well, SGZ-7B, and a well in K-field) as a part of the 2021 drilling program. These new drills, combined with accelerated spend on its water management systems, noted above, and cost increases incurred in the Canadian drilling and development program, are expected to result in an approximate $5.8 million increase to the previously announced capital budget of $27.2 million (before capitalized G&A) in 2021. Due to timing of the drilling of the K-field well and the SGZ-7B well, the Company is not adjusting its expected production guidance for 2021 of 12.0 to 13.0 Mboe/d with a midpoint of 12.5 Mboe/d.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity describes a company’s ability to access cash. Companies operating in the upstream oil and gas industry require sufficient cash in order to fund capital programs that maintain and increase production and reserves, to acquire strategic oil and gas assets, to repay current liabilities and debt and ultimately to provide a return to shareholders. TransGlobe’s capital programs are funded by existing working capital and cash provided from operating activities. The Company's cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter, depending on the timing of oil sales from cargoes lifted in Egypt, and these fluctuations in cash flow impact the Company's liquidity. TransGlobe's management will continue to steward capital and focus on cost reductions in order to maintain balance sheet strength.

Funding for the Company’s capital expenditures is provided by cash flows from operations and cash on hand. The Company expects to fund its 2021 exploration and development program through the use of working capital and cash flow from operations. Fluctuations in commodity prices, product demand, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and various other risks may impact capital resources and capital expenditures.

Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital surplus of $17.1 million (December 31, 2020 - $15.3 million). The increase in working capital is primarily due to an increase in cash resulting from collections on accounts receivable in the period and an increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales in Q2-2021, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in crude oil inventory, an increase in accounts payable and an increase in the derivative commodity contracts liability from increased commodity pricing.

All of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with high credit-quality financial institutions.

Over the past 10 years, the Company has experienced delays in the collection of accounts receivable from EGPC. The length of delay peaked in 2013, returned to historical delays of up to nine months in 2017, and has since fluctuated within an acceptable range. As at June 30, 2021, amounts owing from EGPC were $9.3 million. The Company considers there to be minimal credit risk associated with amounts receivable from EGPC.

In Egypt, the Company sold 366.3 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil to EGPC in Q2-2021 for net proceeds of $22.2 million and sold one cargo lifting of 498.6 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil for net proceeds of $29.1 million. The overlift portion of the cargo (~129.5 Mbbls) was settled against outstanding receivables from EGPC during the quarter. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company collected a total of $17.7 million of accounts receivable from EGPC, an additional $2.4 million has been collected subsequent to the quarter. The Company incurs a 30-day collection cycle on sales to third-party international buyers. Depending on the Company's assessment of the credit of crude oil purchasers, they may be required to post irrevocable letters of credit to support the sales prior to the cargo lifting. As at June 30, 2021, crude oil held as inventory was 140.3 Mbbls.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company had $93.2 million of revolving credit facilities with $17.0 million drawn and $76.2 million available. The Company has a prepayment agreement with Mercuria that allows for a revolving balance of up to $75.0 million, of which $10.0 million was drawn and outstanding as at June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repaid $5.0 million on this prepayment facility. The Company also has a revolving Canadian reserves-based lending facility with ATB that was renewed and increased as at June 30, 2021 from C$15.0 million ($11.0 million) to C$22.5 million ($18.2 million), of which C$8.6 million ($7.0 million) was drawn and outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had drawings of C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) on this facility.

The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that cash flows, credit facilities and working capital are adequate to support these financial liabilities, as well as the Company’s capital programs.

EASTERN DESERT

West Gharib, West Bakr, and North West Gharib (100% working interest, operated)

Operations and Exploration

Following mobilization of the rig from the Western Desert, the Company drilled a development oil well in the Eastern Desert at West Bakr. The HW-8 development well was drilled to a total depth of 1,640.5 meters, successfully encountering oil-bearing sands in the Yusr-C and Bakr formations.

The reservoir section was fully logged and evaluated, with an internally estimated 5.9 meters of net oil pay in the Yusr-C sand and 28.1 meters of net oil pay across four sands in the Bakr reservoir. The Bakr reservoir was brought into production late in the quarter at a field estimated 622 bbls/d.

HW-8 was the first well in TransGlobe’s 12 well development program in 2021 designed to grow oil production and increase reserves in the Eastern Desert.

The second well in this program, K-64, a development well in the Eastern Desert at West Bakr, was drilled to a total depth of 1,538 meters, successfully encountering oil-bearing sands in the Asl-A, Asl-B and Asl-D formations.

The reservoir section was fully logged and evaluated, with an internally estimated 20.9 meters of net oil pay in the Asl-A sand, 17.8 meters of net oil pay across the Asl-B sand and 9.7 meters of net oil pay in the Asl-D sand. Subsequent to the quarter, the Asl-B was brought into production at a field estimated 609 bbls/d in mid-July. The Asl-A is expected to be recovered through a future recompletion of this well and the Asl-D through other well drainage points.

In anticipation of increased gross fluid offtake to be generated by new projects in the new merged concession area, the Company has accelerated plans to upgrade its water management systems in H2-2021. Dependent upon anticipated rig efficiencies, the Company also expects to drill an additional well in K-field as a part of the 2021 drilling program.

The substantial capital investment in 2021 is supported by the Company’s previously disclosed merger of its three Eastern Desert concessions into a single agreement, currently awaiting ratification.

Production

Production averaged 9,917 bbls/d during the quarter, a decrease of 1% (133 bbls/d) from the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to natural declines prior to the bringing into production of the first 2021 Eastern Desert drill wells.

Production in July 2021 averaged ~10,611 bbls/d.

Sales

The Company sold 338.5 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil to EGPC and sold one cargo lifting of 498.6 Mbbls of entitlement crude oil to third-party buyers during the quarter. The overlift portion of the cargo (~129.5 Mbbls) was settled against outstanding receivables from EGPC during the quarter.

WESTERN DESERT

South Ghazalat (100% working interest, operated)

Operations and Exploration

Following evaluation of the reservoir pressure and Gas Oil Ratio (“GOR”) data from the initial production phase of the lower Bahariya reservoir at SGZ-6X in the South Ghazalat field, the well has been put on GOR control management to preserve reservoir pressure and maximize recovery. The well is currently producing at a field estimated 680 - 730 bbls/d of light oil with a ~24% watercut. Further reservoir pressure data is being collected to evaluate the impact of aquifer pressure support to the reservoir as that is activated.

With stronger oil prices and spare capacity available in the South Ghazalat production facility and dependent upon anticipated rig efficiencies, the Company expects to accelerate the drilling of an exploration well on the SGZ-7B prospect to the east of SGZ-6X. The earliest SGZ-7B could be drilled is Q4-2021.

Production

Production averaged 810 bbls/d during the quarter, an increase of 331% (622 bbls/d) from the previous quarter. The increase was due to the oil production impact of the SGZ-6X lower Bahariya recompletion over a whole quarter.

Production in July 2021 averaged ~697 bbls/d.

Sales

The Company sold 27.8 Mbbls of inventoried entitlement crude oil to EGPC during the quarter.

CANADA

Operations and Exploration

The 2-mile horizontal South Harmattan 13-16 oil well, stimulated and equipped in Q1-2021, has achieved a calculated IP30 estimated at 286 boe/d (247 bbls/d light oil, 131 Mcf/d gas 17 bbls/d NGL) and a calculated IP60 estimated at 242 boe/d (199 bbls/d light oil, 144 Mcf/d gas 19 bbls/d NGL), both on a productive day basis.

Lease construction was completed in support of the drilling of three 100% horizontal oil development wells (one 2-mile, two 1-mile) in the north of TransGlobe’s Cardium extension into the South Harmattan area. The first well of this back-to-back drilling program spud on June 30, 2021 and was drilled and cased in July. Subsequent to the quarter, the second and third wells in the Canadian drilling program were drilled and cased. All three wells were drilled on time and on budget. The Company expects all three wells to be completed, stimulated and brought into production by early Q4-2021.

Production

In Canada, production averaged 2,350 boe/d during the quarter, an increase of 367 boe/d (19%) from the previous quarter and within full year 2021 guidance of 2,300 to 2,500 boe/d. The increase in production from the previous quarter is primarily due to the return to production of the 2-20 well following the 13-16 completion and stimulation, plus the latter’s production contribution.

Production in July 2021 averaged ~2,106 boe/d with ~605 bbls/d of oil. The decrease from Q2-2021 is due to natural declines and the initial high decline rate on the recently completed 13-16 South Harmattan Cardium Horizontal well.

Oil and Gas Advisories

Mr. Ron Hornseth, B.Sc., General Manager – Canada for TransGlobe Energy Corporation, and a qualified person as defined in the Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies, June 2009, of the London Stock Exchange, has reviewed the technical information contained in this report. Mr. Hornseth is a professional engineer who obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta. He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (“APEGA”) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (“SPE”) and has over 20 years’ experience in oil and gas.

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (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. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

References in this press release to production test rates, are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for TransGlobe. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out in respect of all wells. Accordingly, the Company cautions that the production test results should be considered to be preliminary.

The following abbreviations used in this press release have the meanings set forth below:

bbl	barrels
bbls/d	barrels per day
Mbbls	thousand barrels
boe	barrel of oil equivalent
boe/d	barrels of oil equivalent per day
MMBtu	One million British thermal units
Mcf	thousand cubic feet
Mcf/d	thousand cubic feet per day
NGL	Natural Gas Liquids
