Significant Growth Phase Underway
Oil Search has been a top quartile performer for past six years
Significant growth opportunities have been identified, capable of driving future value
Largest ever development, appraisal and exploration programme now underway:
PNG LNG T1 & 2 construction more than half complete
PNG Highlands resource base being evaluated
Gulf area potential to be assessed through drilling programme
Material oil prospects in Middle East to be drilled

P’nyang South
Activities in PNG Highlands
Four facets to Highlands gas growth strategy, focused on converting proven and probable to proven contractable reserves as well as new exploration and additional seismic:
P’nyang South
Trapia exploration well
Hides development and appraisal drilling
Associated Gas reserves expansion and certification
1818
Angore anticline, PNG Highlands
P’nyang South
P’nyang South 1 discovered 184 metre gas zone in southern fault block
Sidetrack, P’nyang South 1 ST1, drilled to define gas:water contact. Intersected contact ~200 metres below lowest gas in P'nyang South, extending known gas column to ~380 metres
Seismic and structural data suggests additional potential up-dip, taking total gas column to >650 metres
Result materially increases total estimated 2C gas resources in P’nyang field, potential key underpinning volume for LNG expansion

Further Reserves from Oil Fields
22
Reserves and deliverability review underway for oil and gas in existing oil fields
Will provide optimal production management plan post commencement of gas production for PNG LNG
Number of recent discoveries, identification of areas for potential new reserves and success in gas conservation ahead of original prognosis will provide further reserves for PNG LNG
Potential upside for both gas and ongoing oil production

PNG Issues
Unprecedented political uncertainty in PNG over past year:
No impact to operations with continued progress on all projects
Security and safety of staff in run up to election is paramount
Election in June/July 2012 with new government formed in August/September:
Anticipate no change to operating status but cautious and watchful
Oil Search likely to be PNG’s largest single investor in 2012, with over US$2bn to be spent on development, appraisal, exploration and operations:
Significant vote of confidence in quality of assets and ability of Company to work with Government, bureaucrats and community and manage operating and investment risks
Future consistency of fiscal terms vital for sustained investment
31
Sustainability Focus
Desire to play a role in long term development and wellbeing of people of PNG – to ‘give back’Continued push towards improved transparency and governance of:
Benefits distributionTaxesLandowner company payments
Investment in community health programmes has doubled, driven by Oil Search Health Foundation:
Expansion of existing health programmes. Now working in 9 provinces across PNGCore public health programmes in Malaria, HIV/Aids, Child and Maternal HealthSupported by The Global Fund, AusAid, Asian Development Bank
Active community development programmes:Education and training AgricultureHealth and sport development
32
Summary
2012 is a potentially transformational year for Oil Search. Unprecedented opportunity to underscore long term value growth from OSH’s portfolio of assets
Peak activity year for PNG LNG Project delivery
Largest drilling programme ever undertaken by Oil Search underway, will continue through 2012 into 2013
Continued strong oil field production performance and active pursuit of near field opportunities
Activities underwritten by strong cash flows, solid balance sheet
Remain confident that country risks and challenges can be managed
