2010 Performance Summary

39% increase in NPAT to US$185.6 million, reflecting higher oil prices, lower effective tax rate and a solid production performance

PNG LNG Project making good progress. Target of first LNG in 2014 remains unchanged, with Project well placed in today’s competitive construction environmentExploration portfolio was expanded and optimised during 2010, tosupport LNG growth ambitionsMajor Strategic Review completed. Analysis confirms OSH’s ability to deliver top quartile returns to shareholders for next 5+ years, based on existing assets Balance Sheet remains strong. Cash and existing financing facilities are sufficient for both OSH share of PNG LNG Project plus funding of T3/T4 gas exploration/appraisal programmes

Board approved payment of two US cents per ordinary share, unfranked, final dividend, making four US cents per share for year. Payable on 8 April 2011

2010 production of 7.7 mmboe led to:Proven (1P) net remaining oil and gas reserves decrease from 344.5 mmboe to 336.8 mmboeProven and Probable (2P) net remaining oil and gas reserves decrease from 566.9 mmboe to 559.3 mmboe

2011 Production Outlook

Underlying production from oil fields expected to remain strong,with 2011 production impacted by:

Production from Moran 15 for full yearNatural decline Two week shutdown for tie-in of Associated Gas facilities

Production guidance for 2011 of 6.2 – 6.7 mmboe, with production out to first LNG broadly flat, subject to success of work programmes

Robust workover and development drilling programme in 2011Reservoir models for major PNG oilfields being comprehensively updated to ensure gas blowdown maximises value

Rig strategy:One rig focused primarily on development and near-field appraisal through 2011Second rig currently being utilised on third party opportunities

Key 2011 Focus Areas

Maintain OSH’s industry-leading safety performance in a high activity environment

Continue to build sustainable combined oil and gas business

Strong commitment to cost effectiveness

PNG LNG Project commitments driving operational developments:Improved reliability and long term integrityLife extension programmes for facilitiesUpgrade of key systems and processesEnhanced development of personnel

Continued focus on capturing additional in-field and near field reserve opportunities, particularly forelimb opportunity opened up by ADT 2 ST3Support ongoing LNG Project development with access to infrastructure and in-country expertise

Strategic Review

Substantial broad based Strategic Review was completed in 4Q10

Review of all major assets and options to continue to deliver top quartile shareholder returns for the next 5+ yearsProvided key work programmes and required resourcing to achieve this goalPerformance management programme to drive delivery

Review provides the template for material continued value growth

39

Strategic Review

Key Conclusions of Review:Past reinvestment in PNG has created significant value (more than 30 fold increase in market cap since 1992, 4 fold increase since 2005)OSH has asset base and primary skills to deliver top quartile returns for 5+ yearsKey value drivers will be major project delivery, continued resource build and enhancing oil and gas operating synergiesMaximum value is achieved by remaining a focussed oil and gas growth company, driven primarily from PNGOil business will continue to provide excellent platform supporting LNG delivery and growthLNG expansion, Trains 3 & 4 are catalysts for material growth

Strategic Review

Major Strategies have been defined to deliver growth:1. Oil and Gas Production Optimisation

Near field production opportunitiesRigorous cost controlNew developmentsBuilding long term operating capacity

2. Maximising value from PNG LNG Project (T1 and T2)Project delivery on time, on budgetEnhance reserve portfolioActively manage in country issues, including benefits distribution
