No statement in this document or any related materials or given at this presentation is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this document or any related materials or given at this presentation should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share for the current or future financial periods would necessarily match or exceed historical published earnings per share. As a result, you are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company reserves the right to terminate discussions with any recipient in its sole and absolute discretion at any time and without notice. No person is authorised to give any information or to make any representation not contained in and not consistent with this document and any such information or representation must not be relied upon and has not been authorised by or on behalf of the Company. This document is given in conjunction with an oral presentation and should not be taken out of context. In this presentation, the Company has provided information with respect to certain resource information that is based on oil discovery information for lands surrounding its properties which is "analogous information" as defined applicable securities laws. This analogous information is derived from publicly available information sources which the Company believes are predominantly independent in nature. However, the Company cannot guarantee that such information was independently prepared. In addition, some of this data may not have been prepared by qualified reserves evaluators or auditors and the preparation of any estimates may not be in strict accordance with Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook. Regardless, estimates by engineering and geo-technical practitioners may vary and the differences may be significant. The Company believes that the provision of this analogous information is relevant to the Company's activities, given its acreage position and operations (either ongoing or planned) in the area in question, however, readers are cautioned that there is no certainty that any of the development on the Company's properties will be successful to the extent in which operations on the lands in which the analogous information is derived from were successful, or at all.

Barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel. This conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

In this presentation, the Company has referred to OOIP, meaning original oil in place and original gas in place, respectively, which are hereinafter collectively called "discovered petroleum initially-in-place". Discovered petroleum initially-in-place is the quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum-in-place includes production, reserves and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. A recovery project cannot be defined for these volumes of discovered petroleum initially-in-place at this time. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. Additionally, in respect of the prospective resources disclosed in this presentation, there is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.

By attending this presentation and/or accepting a copy of this document and/or any related materials, you agree to be bound by the foregoing provisions, limitations and conditions and, in particular, you have represented, warranted and undertaken that: (i) you have read and agree to comply with the contents of this disclaimer including, without limitation the obligation to keep the information given at the presentation and this document and its contents confidential; and (ii) you will not at any time have any discussion, correspondence or contact concerning the information given at the presentation and/or in this document with any of the directors or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries nor with any of its suppliers, or any governmental or regulatory body without the prior written consent of the Company.

Corporate Profile

Public Company

• Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited (“COPL”) shares are listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: COPL) and the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture market (TSXV: XOP), giving the Company access to the North American and European capital markets.

Management and Technical Team

• The Management and Technical team of COPL are based in Calgary Canada and the United Kingdom. All of the group have extensive experience in offshore oil exploration and development projects while working together for the past 13 years.

• This experience was primarily in the UK North Sea, where between 2002 and 2008 at Oilexco Incorporated, they drilled as operator a combined 120 exploration, appraisal and production wells.

• In this period the group discovered, appraised and developed the adjoined Brenda and Nicol oil fields at a 100% WI as a subsea development at an initial production rate of 35,000 bbl/d in 500 feet of water.

• The team were identified and negotiated the acquisition of Block LB-13 in the deep water offshore Liberia, and brought in ExxonMobil as a partner to complete the acquisition, resulting in COPL being carried for 17% of the first $120 million in direct drilling expenditures. Drilling is expected to commence in 2016.

Executive Board

• Arthur S Millholland, Director and CEO

• Was the founder, CEO and a Director of Oilexco Inc.

• Professional geologist with 33 years experience in the oil and gas industry

• Worked in a variety of regions including the UK North Sea, Canada, Gulf of Mexico, USA, South America and West and North Africa

Highlights

• Carried participating interest by ExxonMobil in a low risk high impact exploration well on the West African Transform Margin in deep water offshore Liberia

• Well to be drilled by late Q4 2016 to early Q1 2017

• Extensively mapped and defined with state of the art 3D Seismic and processing regimes, which show strong hydrocarbon attributes

• Technology was presented in ExxonMobil’s March 2016 analyst presentation as “their” exploration edge, especially their proprietary “Full Wave Form Inversion” which they have applied to the LB-13 data set

• COPL carried for 17% of all costs until ExxonMobil spends $120 million gross on drilling. Industry cost reductions point to a multiple well carry

• JV with the Shoreline Group of Nigeria offering access to opportunities in Sub Saharan Africa

• Acquisition of 80% of a Nigerian Company holding 100% of a Block in mid to shallow water offshore Nigeria by COPL’s JV with Shoreline having an un-appraised oil discovery with a significant oil appraisal development opportunity

• COPL-Shoreline JV in exclusive negotiations with the Government of Equatorial Guinea for a Production Sharing Contract governing Block EG-18 where a new 3D seismic survey commissioned by the Government has outlined a deep water prospect similar to COPL’s high impact deep water prospect offshore Liberia

Geology

• Seismic has identified a deep water Turonian to Lower Campanian Turbidite Channel/Fan complex

• Basic and Advanced Seismic AVO techniques indicate the potential presence of hydrocarbons in multiple zones over an area of 180 sq. km

• Encouraging slumping features seen around the pinchout points on many of the channels and fans

- Strong similarities to other turbidite sand reservoir oil fields offshore Angola, where slumping has created a seal

• Continental slope less steep towards Sierra Leone and towards the south

- Could imply lower clay content in the sediment and thus high quality reservoir sands with high net to gross ratios

- Also helpful when forming the pinchout point

Detailed Technical Work

• Used Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI)technology

- More advanced than traditional AVO technology

- Allows different aspects of the rock, whether this be rock type (lithology), porosity, fluid content, saturation to be seen

• Work has demonstrated that the block holds a number of channel features and fans which tie in with EEI anomalies associated with “sand” lithology, and with “oil” fluid content

Well Prognosis – Mesurado-1 – Liberia Block LB-13 TSX.V: XOP LSE: COPL

www.canoverseas.com | 12

WELL PROGNOSIS FOR MESURADO-1

• No shallow gas predicted • No major faults will be intersected by well path • From both AVO seismic analysis and other

drilled well information, Mesurado-1 expects to encounter quartz-rich turbidite sands with minor amounts of feldspars and clay (kaolinite)

• Santonian-aged reservoir sand targets in levee-controlled turbidite channel complexes

• Reservoir porosity expected to range between 20% to 30%

• Reservoir permeability expected to range between 100 mD to over 1300 mD

• Total depth forecast to be 100 m below the base of the targeted lowermost Santonian zone (unless lower sands also encounter oil shows)

• Evaluate reservoir objective with wireline logging suite including fluid sampler and wireline sidewall cores

Equatorial Guinea

• ShoreCan in direct negotiations toward the award of a PSC for EG-018

as announced by the Government of Equatorial Guinea

• On May 27, 2015 – Shorecan signed the “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU)

on EG-18 with the MMIE in Malabo, EG.

• The PSC is currently under negotiation. Final terms and government ratification

Q4-16

• Shorecan has estimated that the main amplitude anomaly trend has an area of

roughly 220 square kilometres. Historically, no wells have been drilled in the EG-18

Block. The EG-18 Block (offshore) covers 5056 square kilometres

• The stratigraphic level of the prospects found in the Liberia LB-13 Block are the

same as those prospective in the Equatorial Guinea Block EG-18. The mid-

Cretaceous Campanian, Santonian, and Turonian stages show a meandering sand

trend across Block EG-18 on the “Far angle amplitude map.” From the seismic

data, it appears like this trend is a “confined turbidite channel” that may have an

updip pinchout and could be, therefore, a possible trap for hydrocarbons
