         law or advisable to such persons as the attorney-in-fact deems
         appropriate; and

     (4) Take any other action in connection with the foregoing that, in the
         opinion of the attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best
         interest of or legally required of the undersigned, it being understood

         approve in the attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform all and every act requisite, necessary or proper to be done in
the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all
intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present,
with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming
all that the attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers granted herein. The
undersigned acknowledges that the attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity
at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming (nor is VAALCO Energy, Inc.
assuming) any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of
the Exchange Act.

The undersigned agrees that the attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by or at the direction of the
undersigned to the attorney-in-fact. The undersigned also agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless VAALCO Energy, Inc. and the attorney-in-fact against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statements or omissions of necessary facts
in the information provided by or at the direction of the undersigned, or upon
the lack of timeliness in the delivery of information by or at the direction of
the undersigned, to the attorney-in fact for purposes of executing,
acknowledging, delivering or filing a Form ID, Form 3, Form 4, Form 5 and Form
144 (including amendments thereto) and agrees to reimburse VAALCO Energy, Inc.
and the attorney-in-fact on demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss,
claim, damage,
liability or action.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Form ID, Form 3, Form 4, Form 5 and
Form 144 (including amendments thereto) with respect to the undersigned's
holdings of and transactions in securities issued by VAALCO Energy, Inc., unless
earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
attorney-in-fact. This Power of Attorney does not revoke any other power of
attorney that the undersigned has previously granted.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of the date written below.
