Cautionary Statements
 •      Statements contained in this presentation that state the intentions, hopes, estimates, beliefs, anticipations, expectations or predictions of the future of Far East Energy Corporation and its management are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
        1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It is important to note that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those
        projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements include: the preliminary nature of well data, including permeability and gas content; there can be no assurance as to the volume of
        gas that is ultimately produced or sold from our wells; the fracture stimulation program may not be successful in increasing gas volumes; due to limitations under Chinese law, we may have only limited rights to enforce the gas sales agreement between Shanxi Province Guoxin Energy
        Development Group Limited and China United Coalbed Methane Corporation (“CUCBM”), to which we are an express beneficiary; additional wells may not be drilled, or if drilled may not be timely; additional pipelines and gathering systems needed to transport our gas may not be constructed, or
        if constructed may not be timely, or their routes may differ from those anticipated; the pipeline and local distribution/compressed natural gas companies may decline to purchase or take our gas, or we may not be able to enforce our rights under definitive agreements with pipelines; conflicts with
        coal mining operations or coordination of our exploration and production activities with mining activities could adversely impact or add significant costs to our operations; the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (“MofCom”) may not approve the Modification Agreement to the Shouyang PSC (the
        “Modification Agreement”) on a timely basis or at all, or, if so, on commercially advantageous terms; the MofCom’s failure to approve the extension of the Modification Agreement by March 1, 2012 limited our ability to borrow additional amounts under the credit facility absent a waiver from
        Standard Chartered; the MofCom’s failure to approve the extension of the Modification Agreement by May 30, 2012 could result in the early termination of the credit facility and require immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts thereunder; our inability to comply with certain quarterly
        financial covenants, satisfy certain continuing representations, or remedy a material adverse effect to our business or to certain other conditions could result in an early termination of the credit facility and require immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts thereunder; our Chinese partner
        companies or MofCom may require certain changes to the terms and conditions of the Modification Agreement or our PSCs in conjunction with their approval, including reductions in acreage or a reduction in the term of the extension for the exploration period; our lack of operating history; limited
        and potentially inadequate management of our cash resources; risk and uncertainties associated with exploration, development and production of coalbed methane; our inability to extract or sell all or a substantial portion of our reserves and other resources; we may not satisfy requirements for
        the listing of our securities on a securities exchange; expropriation and other risks associated with foreign operations; disruptions in capital markets affecting fundraising; matters affecting the energy industry generally; lack of availability of oil and gas field goods and services; environmental
        risks; drilling and production risks; changes in laws or regulations affecting our operations, as well as other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Statements contained in this
        presentation speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any of these statements.


 •      Definition of Technical Terms:
        We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “Original Gas-in-Place,” “Recoverable CBM Resources,” “Contingent Resources,” and “Estimated Ultimate Recovery” that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC because such technical terms are not
        consistent with the definition of “Proved Reserves” in the SEC rules. Such terms used herein are defined as follows:
            –         SPE Contingent Resources: Those quantities of CBM estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations by application of development projects, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more
                      contingencies.
            –         Original Gas-in-Place: This term refers to discovered and undiscovered Gas-In-Place, which is the quantity of hydrocarbons which is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, plus those quantities already produced therefrom, plus those estimated
                      quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered.
            –         Recoverable CBM Resources: This term refers to discovered and undiscovered Gas-In-Place, which is the quantity of hydrocarbons which is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, plus those quantities already produced therefrom, plus those
                      estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered.
            –         Estimated Ultimate Recovery: The sum of resources remaining as of a given date and the cumulative production as of that date.



 •      Note to Investors Regarding PV-10 Value:

 •      PV-10 Value – This term is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC regulations and represents a pre-tax number. We believe that pre-tax PV-10 Value is an important measure that can be used to evaluate the relative significance of its coalbed methane gas reserves and that PV-
        10 Value is widely used by security analysts and investors when evaluating oil and gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes to be paid, we believe that the use of a pre-tax measure provides greater
        comparability of assets when evaluating companies.

 •      The PV-10 Value does not purport to be, nor should it be interpreted to present, the fair value of the gas reserves of the property. An estimate of fair value would take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, the value of unproved properties,
        and consideration of expected future economic and operating conditions. The estimates of future cash flows and future production and development costs as of December 31, 2011 are based on the unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month price for the preceding 12-month period.
        Prices were adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials. Estimated future production of proved reserves and estimated future production and development costs of proved reserves are based on current costs and economic conditions.

 •      Far East Energy cautions that the disclosures contained in this presentation related to the PV-10 Value are based on estimates of proved reserve quantities and future production schedules which are inherently imprecise and subject to revision, and the 10% discount rate applied to the PV-10
        Value is arbitrary. In addition, costs and prices as of the measurement date are used in the determinations, and no value may be assigned to probable or possible reserves. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net revenues are based upon a number of
        variable factors and assumptions, all of which are to some degree subjective and may vary considerably from actual results. Therefore, actual production, revenues, development and operating expenditures may not occur as estimated. The reserve data are estimates only, are subject to many
        uncertainties and are based on data gained from production histories and on assumptions as to geologic formations and other matters. Actual quantities of coal bed methane gas may differ materially from the amounts estimated.

 •      Note to Investors Regarding Adjacent Properties:

 •      This presentation contains information about adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore. U.S. investors are cautioned that petroleum/mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of such deposits on our properties. This presentation also includes various
        estimates and comparisons contained in studies and reports. Actual results are likely to vary from the results in the studies and reports.

Far East Energy Profile
 •        Coalbed methane development company operating under three production sharing contracts
          (PSCs) in Shanxi and Yunnan Provinces (see SEC filings for current status)
           – Total 1.1 million acres (~4450 km2)(d)
           – Estimated 21.3-29.2 Tcf (603-827 Bcm) of gross original gas-in-place (OGIP)(b)
           – Shouyang coals exhibit both high permeability and high gas content, properties that are
             consistent with the most commercially successful CBM basins worldwide
 •        Exceptional infrastructure and market access
           – 20 year gas pipeline sales agreement in place in Shouyang
           – Approximately $6.45 to $7.34/Mcf(c) wellhead price
 •        Strong management and board
           – Solid experience in CBM and with Chinese energy industry and policy makers
 •        Funding in place
           – Bank note payable issued in November 2011 securing the funding needs for current drilling
             program without issuance of equity
     a.   1.1 million gross acres includes acres subject to the Qinnan PSC. Note that the exploration period of the Qinnan PSC has not been extended and remains subject to approval by
          Chinese authorities, we can not be optimistic at this time. The Qinnan PSC covers approximately 528,620 gross acres (2,139 km 2).
     b.   OGIP estimates (P10 -P90) for Qinnan from ConocoPhillips; for Yunnan from Yunnan Provincial Coal Geological Bureau; for Shouyang from July 2011 report by Netherland, Sewell &
          Associates, Inc. (NSAI), and does not take into account recently relinquished acreage.
     c.   Inclusive of current and announced estimated government subsidies, and subject to annual review and exchange rate fluctuations.
     d.   Estimates based on recent extensions and modification agreements for Shouyang and Yunnan PSC. The extensions of the Shouyang and Yunnan PSCs have been executed and are
          pending Chinese government approval from MofCom.

Investment Highlights
                                                     (Trades on OTC:BB as FEEC)
      •      Beneficiary of CHINA’S ECONOMIC GROWTH/robust energy demand
               – Gas demand far exceeds supply with demand expected to triple over next 10 years. PRC
                  focusing on CBM as desirable alternative to LNG imports
      •      Far East Energy’s blocks have enormous gas-in-place, and discovery of HIGH
             PERMEABILITY in Shouyang makes acreage unique in China and potentially world class
               – Netherland Sewell and ARI have verified high gas content/high permeability and project high
                  production rates
               – Shouyang Block could support 4,000 to 5,000 vertical wells on 80-acre spacing
      •      SALES AGREEMENT WITH PIPELINE PROVIDES CAPACITY to move large volumes
             which is ESSENTIAL FOR LARGE-SCALE DEVELOPMENT. Believed to be first of its kind
             for foreign operators. At $6.45 to $7.34/Mcf and assuming ARI projected production levels,
             economics are compelling
      •      Second competing pipeline to Shouyang is now completed, creating likely competition and
             potentially adding up to 50 MMcf/d of off-take capacity (Total possible off-take of 90 MMcf/d
             from both pipelines)
      •      Critical desorption pressure (CDP) reached in portions of the Shouyang 1-H pilot area. At stage
             where high permeability reservoirs often begin to exhibit significant production increases
      •      Multi-year drilling program planning– ramping up to an annual pace of 200 wells per year and up
             to 500 wells per year in outer years

China’s Current Energy Targets
          • China aims for 2.5x increase in CBM
            production in next 5 years
          • China also wants to triple the use of gas by 2020
          • Chinese government officials have stated an
            intent to double the subsidy for CBM
            production to 0.4 RMB/m3 which would move
            the price paid for Far East Energy gas from U.S.
            $6.45 per Mcf to $7.34 per Mcf, a significant
            premium over the Henry Hub U.S. gas price of
            $2.98 per Mcf as of December 30, 2011

A Chinese Coalbed Methane Breakthrough
                                          To Supply Growing Demand
•      Far East Energy’s discovery is a breakthrough
       for China’s CBM industry
        – Shouyang’s primary coal seams exhibit both
           high permeability (80 to 120 millidarcies)
                                                               China
           and high gas content
        – Coal seams with similar properties in San
           Juan and Black Warrior basins initiated
           dramatic CBM production growth in U.S.
        – Established operators in China are
           accelerating major development plans
•      Coalbed methane may hold some of the
       greatest potential for increasing Chinese
       domestic gas supplies
        – Demand fundamentals drove flurry of
           acquisitions of Australian CBM in 2008              Australia
        – Domestic sources obviously desirable,
           fueling interests by majors in China CBM

Resource Comparison
                           Preliminary technical data suggests that the
                      Company’s North Shouyang acreage compares very well
                                  to premier U.S. CBM plays
          Note: Actual results are likely to vary from the following preliminary estimates, which are based on various assumptions

  • 1. Far East Energy Corporation Corporate Presentation April 17, 2012 2012-05 Copyright © 2012 Far East Energy Corp., All rights reserved.
  • 2. Cautionary Statements • Statements contained in this presentation that state the intentions, hopes, estimates, beliefs, anticipations, expectations or predictions of the future of Far East Energy Corporation and its management are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It is important to note that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements include: the preliminary nature of well data, including permeability and gas content; there can be no assurance as to the volume of gas that is ultimately produced or sold from our wells; the fracture stimulation program may not be successful in increasing gas volumes; due to limitations under Chinese law, we may have only limited rights to enforce the gas sales agreement between Shanxi Province Guoxin Energy Development Group Limited and China United Coalbed Methane Corporation (“CUCBM”), to which we are an express beneficiary; additional wells may not be drilled, or if drilled may not be timely; additional pipelines and gathering systems needed to transport our gas may not be constructed, or if constructed may not be timely, or their routes may differ from those anticipated; the pipeline and local distribution/compressed natural gas companies may decline to purchase or take our gas, or we may not be able to enforce our rights under definitive agreements with pipelines; conflicts with coal mining operations or coordination of our exploration and production activities with mining activities could adversely impact or add significant costs to our operations; the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (“MofCom”) may not approve the Modification Agreement to the Shouyang PSC (the “Modification Agreement”) on a timely basis or at all, or, if so, on commercially advantageous terms; the MofCom’s failure to approve the extension of the Modification Agreement by March 1, 2012 limited our ability to borrow additional amounts under the credit facility absent a waiver from Standard Chartered; the MofCom’s failure to approve the extension of the Modification Agreement by May 30, 2012 could result in the early termination of the credit facility and require immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts thereunder; our inability to comply with certain quarterly financial covenants, satisfy certain continuing representations, or remedy a material adverse effect to our business or to certain other conditions could result in an early termination of the credit facility and require immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts thereunder; our Chinese partner companies or MofCom may require certain changes to the terms and conditions of the Modification Agreement or our PSCs in conjunction with their approval, including reductions in acreage or a reduction in the term of the extension for the exploration period; our lack of operating history; limited and potentially inadequate management of our cash resources; risk and uncertainties associated with exploration, development and production of coalbed methane; our inability to extract or sell all or a substantial portion of our reserves and other resources; we may not satisfy requirements for the listing of our securities on a securities exchange; expropriation and other risks associated with foreign operations; disruptions in capital markets affecting fundraising; matters affecting the energy industry generally; lack of availability of oil and gas field goods and services; environmental risks; drilling and production risks; changes in laws or regulations affecting our operations, as well as other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any of these statements. • Definition of Technical Terms: We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “Original Gas-in-Place,” “Recoverable CBM Resources,” “Contingent Resources,” and “Estimated Ultimate Recovery” that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC because such technical terms are not consistent with the definition of “Proved Reserves” in the SEC rules. Such terms used herein are defined as follows: – SPE Contingent Resources: Those quantities of CBM estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations by application of development projects, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. – Original Gas-in-Place: This term refers to discovered and undiscovered Gas-In-Place, which is the quantity of hydrocarbons which is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, plus those quantities already produced therefrom, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. – Recoverable CBM Resources: This term refers to discovered and undiscovered Gas-In-Place, which is the quantity of hydrocarbons which is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, plus those quantities already produced therefrom, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. – Estimated Ultimate Recovery: The sum of resources remaining as of a given date and the cumulative production as of that date. • Note to Investors Regarding PV-10 Value: • PV-10 Value – This term is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC regulations and represents a pre-tax number. We believe that pre-tax PV-10 Value is an important measure that can be used to evaluate the relative significance of its coalbed methane gas reserves and that PV- 10 Value is widely used by security analysts and investors when evaluating oil and gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes to be paid, we believe that the use of a pre-tax measure provides greater comparability of assets when evaluating companies. • The PV-10 Value does not purport to be, nor should it be interpreted to present, the fair value of the gas reserves of the property. An estimate of fair value would take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, the value of unproved properties, and consideration of expected future economic and operating conditions. The estimates of future cash flows and future production and development costs as of December 31, 2011 are based on the unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month price for the preceding 12-month period. Prices were adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials. Estimated future production of proved reserves and estimated future production and development costs of proved reserves are based on current costs and economic conditions. • Far East Energy cautions that the disclosures contained in this presentation related to the PV-10 Value are based on estimates of proved reserve quantities and future production schedules which are inherently imprecise and subject to revision, and the 10% discount rate applied to the PV-10 Value is arbitrary. In addition, costs and prices as of the measurement date are used in the determinations, and no value may be assigned to probable or possible reserves. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net revenues are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, all of which are to some degree subjective and may vary considerably from actual results. Therefore, actual production, revenues, development and operating expenditures may not occur as estimated. The reserve data are estimates only, are subject to many uncertainties and are based on data gained from production histories and on assumptions as to geologic formations and other matters. Actual quantities of coal bed methane gas may differ materially from the amounts estimated. • Note to Investors Regarding Adjacent Properties: • This presentation contains information about adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore. U.S. investors are cautioned that petroleum/mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of such deposits on our properties. This presentation also includes various estimates and comparisons contained in studies and reports. Actual results are likely to vary from the results in the studies and reports.

  • 3. Far East Energy Profile • Coalbed methane development company operating under three production sharing contracts (PSCs) in Shanxi and Yunnan Provinces (see SEC filings for current status) – Total 1.1 million acres (~4450 km2)(d) – Estimated 21.3-29.2 Tcf (603-827 Bcm) of gross original gas-in-place (OGIP)(b) – Shouyang coals exhibit both high permeability and high gas content, properties that are consistent with the most commercially successful CBM basins worldwide • Exceptional infrastructure and market access – 20 year gas pipeline sales agreement in place in Shouyang – Approximately $6.45 to $7.34/Mcf(c) wellhead price • Strong management and board – Solid experience in CBM and with Chinese energy industry and policy makers • Funding in place – Bank note payable issued in November 2011 securing the funding needs for current drilling program without issuance of equity a. 1.1 million gross acres includes acres subject to the Qinnan PSC. Note that the exploration period of the Qinnan PSC has not been extended and remains subject to approval by Chinese authorities, we can not be optimistic at this time. The Qinnan PSC covers approximately 528,620 gross acres (2,139 km 2). b. OGIP estimates (P10 -P90) for Qinnan from ConocoPhillips; for Yunnan from Yunnan Provincial Coal Geological Bureau; for Shouyang from July 2011 report by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI), and does not take into account recently relinquished acreage. c. Inclusive of current and announced estimated government subsidies, and subject to annual review and exchange rate fluctuations. d. Estimates based on recent extensions and modification agreements for Shouyang and Yunnan PSC. The extensions of the Shouyang and Yunnan PSCs have been executed and are pending Chinese government approval from MofCom. Copyright © 2012 Far East Energy Corp., All rights reserved. 3
  • 4. Investment Highlights (Trades on OTC:BB as FEEC) • Beneficiary of CHINA’S ECONOMIC GROWTH/robust energy demand – Gas demand far exceeds supply with demand expected to triple over next 10 years. PRC focusing on CBM as desirable alternative to LNG imports • Far East Energy’s blocks have enormous gas-in-place, and discovery of HIGH PERMEABILITY in Shouyang makes acreage unique in China and potentially world class – Netherland Sewell and ARI have verified high gas content/high permeability and project high production rates – Shouyang Block could support 4,000 to 5,000 vertical wells on 80-acre spacing • SALES AGREEMENT WITH PIPELINE PROVIDES CAPACITY to move large volumes which is ESSENTIAL FOR LARGE-SCALE DEVELOPMENT. Believed to be first of its kind for foreign operators. At $6.45 to $7.34/Mcf and assuming ARI projected production levels, economics are compelling • Second competing pipeline to Shouyang is now completed, creating likely competition and potentially adding up to 50 MMcf/d of off-take capacity (Total possible off-take of 90 MMcf/d from both pipelines) • Critical desorption pressure (CDP) reached in portions of the Shouyang 1-H pilot area. At stage where high permeability reservoirs often begin to exhibit significant production increases • Multi-year drilling program planning– ramping up to an annual pace of 200 wells per year and up to 500 wells per year in outer years Copyright © 2012 Far East Energy Corp., All rights reserved. 4
  • 5. Far East Energy’s Production Sharing Contract Areas Estimates are based on recent extension and modification agreement which has been executed and is now pending Chinese government approval. Shouyang contract area 1656.3 km2 (409,282 ac) Yunnan contract area 483 km2 (119,338 ac) Estimates are based on recent extension and modification agreement which has been executed and is now pending Chinese government approval. Qinnan contract area 2317.4 km² (572,642 ac) Note that the exploration period of the Qinnan PSC has not been extended and remains subject to approval by Chinese authorities.

  • 6. Why Coalbed Methane in China? Why China? Why Coalbed Methane? Enormous energy demand/enormous environmental problems CBM addresses both concerns DEMAND: SUPPLY: World’s largest China has the largest CBM resources consumer of energy in the world (1305 Tcf gas-in-place) DIRTY ENERGY: CLEAN CBM: 73% of energy supply from coal CBM (gas) burns substantially cleaner than coal ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: China targets 27X increase in gas 20 out of 30 of the world’s most polluted cities in the world; Number 1 in CO2 emissions consumption in energy mix CBM production eliminates mine venting and reduces Number 1 in methane emissions (21X heat trapping of CO2) emission of methane to atmosphere China coal has among the highest gas content in the world, but over 5,000 Degasification in advance of miners/year die in methane explosions mining coal saves lives Copyright © 2012 Far East Energy Corp., All rights reserved.

  • 7. China’s Current Energy Targets • China aims for 2.5x increase in CBM production in next 5 years • China also wants to triple the use of gas by 2020 • Chinese government officials have stated an intent to double the subsidy for CBM production to 0.4 RMB/m3 which would move the price paid for Far East Energy gas from U.S. $6.45 per Mcf to $7.34 per Mcf, a significant premium over the Henry Hub U.S. gas price of $2.98 per Mcf as of December 30, 2011 Copyright © 2012 Far East Energy Corp., All rights reserved. 7
  • 8. A Chinese Coalbed Methane Breakthrough To Supply Growing Demand • Far East Energy’s discovery is a breakthrough for China’s CBM industry – Shouyang’s primary coal seams exhibit both high permeability (80 to 120 millidarcies) China and high gas content – Coal seams with similar properties in San Juan and Black Warrior basins initiated dramatic CBM production growth in U.S. – Established operators in China are accelerating major development plans • Coalbed methane may hold some of the greatest potential for increasing Chinese domestic gas supplies – Demand fundamentals drove flurry of acquisitions of Australian CBM in 2008 Australia – Domestic sources obviously desirable, fueling interests by majors in China CBM Copyright © 2012 Far East Energy Corp., All rights reserved. 8
