Strong operating cashflow

Production and revenue growth, focus on cost control

Production growth from producing and sanctioned projects Increasing proportion of oil in project mix

- Chim Sao, Cooper oil, Stag performance - Fletcher Finucane and Dua projects underway

Rising gas prices in key markets

Strong revenue

Cost and productivity focus

Relentless focus on cost and productivity - Corporate costs down 15% - Rigorous approach to capital allocation - Technology enabling productivity improvements,

i.e. collaboration centres, remote operations - New rig fleet, pad drilling and simultaneous operations

reducing full cycle drilling and completion costs - Active contractor and supply chain management

Drilling: rigs and wells

Drilling capacity secured to meet forecast well requirements

Current rig fleet of eight drilling rigs and four completion rigs - Commissioned two new drilling rigs in third quarter 2012

- Commissioning eighth drilling rig and fourth completion rig

Rig fleet fit-for-purpose - New Saxon directional rigs

- Pad drilling

- Reduced footprint, higher productivity

480 wells drilled to end September 2012

On target to drill 150 wells in 2012

250-300 wells per annum in 2013-15

Land access secured for 200 wells of the 2013 drilling program

Expect to maintain circa 300 wells per annum post-2015

40% reduction in drilling cost for Roma deviated wells achieved in 2012

2012 Roma deviated well drilling cost Significant time and cost efficiencies are continuing to be achieved as a result of:

Significant reduction in well types to a few core designs

Defined groups of wells has led to a factory drilling approach, increasing operational performance both cost and time

- Pressure data (30 points) implies single hydrocarbon-bearing gas condensate column in good quality reservoir rock

- Multiple condensate-bearing gas samples have been recovered to surface. Preliminary analysis indicates the presence of 10-12% CO2

- A gas-water contact has not been encountered in the well to date

Drilling is progressing to a proposed total depth of 5,320 metres

Core acquisition and fracture stimulation to define and appraise the resource potential1

Leveraging existing operational infrastructure at Mereenie

Santos‘ farm-in to ~19 million acres across the Amadeus & Pedirka basins provides:

Significant exposure to conventional and unconventional resource with potentially large estimated recoverable resource

Commitment to acquisition of 2,100km of 2D seismic over farm-in acreage and 1 exploration well

Further options to add 1,000km 2D seismic and up to additional 9 exploration wells
