           Update on Tawke PSC 
 
 Genel Energy plc ('Genel') notes that DNO ASA, as operator of the Tawke PSC 
         (Genel 25% working interest), has today issued an update on licence 
                      activity: 
 
 Gross production from the Tawke licence, containing the Tawke and Peshkabir 
             fields, averaged 126,759 bopd during the first quarter of 2019. 
 
   Tawke production currently averages c.73,000 bopd, and Peshkabir c.54,000 
   bopd. There is an active 2019 drilling campaign underway at the Tawke and 
   Peshkabir fields, with a total of up to four Peshkabir wells and up to 14 
                      Tawke wells. 
 
The Peshkabir-9 well was completed and placed on production during the first 
  quarter. The Peshkabir-10 well was spud in February and will come onstream 
        shortly. The Peshkabir-11 well will spud later this month. Peshkabir 
                   production averaged 53,830 bopd during the first quarter. 
 
  Peshkabir has now generated $1 billion in gross revenue, or four times the 
                      total spend to date. 
 
At the Tawke field, the Tawke-52 Cretaceous well was completed and placed on 
     production during the quarter. The Tawke-54 Cretaceous well was spud in 
   February and came onstream in mid-April, and the Tawke-55 Cretaceous well

                      quarter.
