FOCUS & GROWTHFOCUS & GROWTH


Who is ROC?

• ROC is a growing Australian listed mid-cap oil and gas explorer and producer

• Operated 23,000 bopd gross production in 2012 (6,445 bopd net to ROC)

• ROC seeks to add new opportunities across SE Asia & China

• ROC has a strong balance sheet with debt financing which provides significant financial and operational flexibility

• ROC believes Myanmar onshore and offshore basins have the potential for significant discoveries & transformational growth


core focus on SE Asia China and Australia

established hydrocarbon provinces• leverage ROC’s marginal/mature field operations

skills

• established infrastructure and markets

competitive cost structurecompetitive cost structure

• continental shelf or onshore

• near field tie in and accelerated production potential

• established and competitive oil field services

significant exploration potential

• high quality hydrocarbon basins

• commercial environment encouraging new exploration

• time lines from discovery to production attractive

non-operated production assets in North Sea, UK (Blane and Enoch fields)


2012 highlights

• Pre-development appraisal drilling programme continues through 1Q13 for Balai Cluster (Malaysia) following successful Bentara & Balai wells

• Completion of a three well exploration programme in Beibu resulting in three discoveries and expected incremental reserves addition

• Ongoing Development drilling at Zhao Dong• Ongoing Development drilling at Zhao Dong

• Full year production of 6,445 BOEPD - in line with 2012 production guidance

• 2012 revenue of US$242.1 million

• Development drilling programme commenced in Beibu Gulf (offshore China) with first oil expected during 1Q13

• 2012 net cash of $56.8 million at year end and an undrawn debt facility of US$91 million


HSE

• ROC has a track record of performing ahead of industry averages measuring safety performance and we will continue to pursue the highest standards

• Operations in China and at our BMG asset achieved two years without a lost time

injury in December 2012.

• ROC utilises an expectation-based HSE Management System throughout its business

• An Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS) is implemented by all ROC operated assets

• Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate per million manhours worked was 0.59 in 2012, 0.0 in 2011, 1.5 in 2010 and 0.4 in 2009. These compare well with industry 5-year averages.

• Environment - ROC is committed to protecting the environment in which we operate and taking the appropriate steps to manage, eliminate or minimize our impact. ROC has had no significant environment incidents over the past two years of operation.

• APPEA Safety Innovation Award winner in 2010

• A world class petroleum province

• Multiple and extensive working petroleum systems

• A good fit with ROC’s distinct capabilities


Myanmar; a world class petroleum province

1. Fundamental geology favour hydrocarbons

2. Underexplored

3. Little exploration outside main core O&G areas (Central Burma basin)

4. Opportunity for significant application of seismic & well technology

5. Significant potential for offshore and onshore 5. Significant potential for offshore and onshore plays

Exploration, appraisal, re-development

and development opportunities in

Myanmar align with ROC’s distinct

competitive advantages.


Key elements for new country, basin and play entry checklist

Regional analysis

• evidence of a working petroleum system across target basins

• evidence of a working petroleum system across target basins

• ability to leverage appropriate technology

• range of opportunity set from field re-development to near field exploration

• geological play ‘running room’ & repeatability

• materiality
