Operates all of PNG’s producing oil and gas fields. Current gross production ~33,500 boepd, net share ~18,500 boepd

At December 2010, proven reserves were 337 mmboe, proven and probable 559 mmboe plus 318 mmboe 2C resources, taking 2P reserves and 2C resources to 877 mmboe

PNG Government is largest shareholder with 15%. In early 2009, Govt issued exchangeable bond over shares to IPIC of Abu Dhabi

29% interest in PNG LNG Project, world scale LNG project operated by ExxonMobil. Project in construction, first LNG sales expected 2014

Exploration interests in PNG and Middle East/North Africa

Market capitalisation ~US$8 billion. Listed on ASX (Share Code OSH) and POMSOX, plus ADR programme (Share Code OISHY)

OSH Strategies to Create Value

Optimise current oil and gas production:Through improved efficiencies and pursuit of near field opportunities

Maximise value of PNG LNG Project (T1 & T2):By utilising in-country knowledge to assist Operator

Develop LNG and other gas expansion opportunities:Build gas resources for both PNG LNG expansion and standalone LNG project/s

Measured programme of other growth options: Optimise exploration portfolio

Ensure Oil Search’s Sustainability:Operate business in transparent and sustainable manner to ensure long term operating stability and enhance ‘social licence to operate’

Strong Performance in 1H11

1H 2011 NPAT increased by 117% to US$114.5 millionResult driven by 53% increase in realised average oil price of US$116.89 per barrel, more than offset 10% lower production of 3.56mmboeCash operating margin stable against back drop of inflationary pressure in PNG coupled with adverse currency movements and declining volumes

2011 Production Outlook

Production in 1H of 3.56 mmboe, solid performance with underlying production from oil fields generally consistent with expectationsGas injection well at Usano, UDT 13, drilled successfully. Providing support to key production well in Usano EastIDT 25 development well successfully drilled in Kutubu Main Block Toro:

Good indications of hydrocarbons in Toro reservoirWell deepened to exploration target in Koi Iange horizon, with hydrocarbon indications - will be flow tested in 4Q11

2H11 production will be impacted by:Two week shutdown for tie-in of Associated Gas facilities (successfully completed)Natural declineRepairs to HP compressor at APF

Workover programme using the Hydraulic Workover Unit (HWU) underway at GobeFull year estimate remains consistent with guidance (6.2 – 6.7 mmboe)Production out to first LNG broadly flat, subject to success of work programmes

Near Field Exploration

Detailed review of “near field” exploration potential in and around existing producing fields as part of 2010 strategic reviewMore than 25 opportunities currently identifiedPotential:

125 mmboe net (approximately half oil, half gas)

Higher risk than historical development drilling:Difficulty imaging Untested reservoir properties Complex geology

Risk management:Integrating with existing pads and wells to reduce costFall back of safer, conventional proven targetsStep wise approach, building out from known positions
