Oil Search Strategic Priorities

Assist ExxonMobil in delivering PNG LNG Project on time and on budget:

Transformational impact on Oil Search and PNG

ExxonMobil quality operator

Lays foundation for major LNG industry in PNG

Focus on further LNG development:Gas exploration and appraisal activities in PNG

Strategic PNG gas acquisitions

Partner alignment

Optimise oil field management

Undertake measured oil exploration

ACHIEVEMENT OF ABOVE WILL ENSURE CONTINUED LONG TERM TOP QUARTILE TSR PERFORMANCE

14

PNG Gas Growth

Key strategic priority for Oil Search is to grow gas business in PNGLNG remains optimum commercialisation route for additional gas Significant pre-investment - PNG LNG will provide infrastructure and capacity to facilitate expansion and provide excellent cost structure:

Use of capacity in pipeline, jetty, tanks and services

Trained local work force

Government is very supportive of, and expects, future gas growth

15

PNG LNG Optimisation

Facilities optimisationReviewing available reservesAccelerating appraisal/exploration activities

Hides, Angore, Huria seismic - in preparation for drilling

Actively reviewing :Reserve addsConstruction cost synergies

16

Two-Pronged Gas Growth Strategy

PNG LNG dedicated fields:

Proven (1P) 301 mmboe (OSH share) – all sold

Proven & probable (2P) 505 mmboe (OSH share)

Focus on moving 2P (& 3P) into 1P contractible category through field development optimisation and further appraisal

Other fields and exploration:

Existing proven & probable resources (2C) of 281 mmboe (OSH share), still to be commercialised

Programme to appraise discoveries and explore for new gas

Objective is to prove up sufficient proven contractible reserves to underwrite Trains 3 and 4

Coal Bed Methane Potential in PNG?

Oil Search awarded seven licences for CBM exploration, each approx 2,500 sq km in area

Three wells to be drilled in 2010 to further refine coal location, rank and thickness

If encouraging, drilling programme may continue

Production Outlook (net to OSH)

PNG LNG adds ~18 mmboe pa to OSH at plateau in 2015 onwards. 30 year Project lifeT3 could add an additional ~9 mmboe pa, with T4 of similar magnitude
