<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>VAALCO ENERGY ANNOUNCES WELL SHUT-IN AT EBOURI FIELD </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>HOUSTON, TEXAS &#150; November&nbsp;4, 2014</B> &#150; VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EGY) today announced </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">that Well 2-H in the Ebouri field, offshore Gabon, has been temporarily shut-in to determine the cause of pressure communication between the tubing and casing
annuli. At the time of shut-in, Well 2-H was producing approximately 2,500 gross barrels of oil per day, 700 net to VAALCO. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The well was initially
shut-in in early October 2014 due to the pressure communication issue. Attempts to resolve the problem through initial diagnostic work and corrective measures were unsuccessful. Further diagnostic work is being planned including the use of a
wireline unit to determine both the cause of the pressure communication and the resolution. The wireline unit is expected to commence operations during late-November, and once completed, the Company then expects to provide an update on this well.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">VAALCO noted that the other two development wells in the Ebouri field, Wells 3H and 4H, were shut-in in July 2012 due to the discovery of hydrogen
sulfide (H<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB>S) in the oil produced from those wells. The Company and its partners are continuing to make progress on the plans for returning those wells to production in the first half of 2017
with the expected installation of a crude sweetening facility to remove the H<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB>S. At the time Well 2-H was shut in, it continued to produce oil with very low levels of H<SUB
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB>S. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Forward-Looking Statements </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This document includes &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are those concerning VAALCO&#146;s plans, expectations, and objectives for future drilling, completion and other operations and activities. All
statements included in this document that address activities, events or developments that VAALCO expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements include expected capital expenditures,
future drilling plans, prospect evaluations, negotiations with governments and third parties, acquisition opportunities and reserve growth. These statements are based on assumptions made by VAALCO based on its perception of historical trends,
current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond VAALCO&#146;s control.
These risks include, but are not limited to, inflation, general economic conditions, oil and gas price volatility, the Company&#146;s success in discovering, developing and producing reserves, lack of availability of goods, services and capital,
environmental risks, drilling risks, foreign operational risks, and regulatory changes. These and other risks are further described in VAALCO&#146;s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 and other reports filed with
the SEC which can be reviewed at http://www.sec.gov, or which can be received by contacting VAALCO at 4600 Post Oak Place, Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77027, (713)&nbsp;623-0801. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. VAALCO disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. </P>
