2015 1H performance

Above budget and guidance year-to-date driven by 94%

  • perating efficiency

Operating cash flow of $513 million Production of 60.4 kboepd Opex per barrel reduction Net debt stable Covenant flexibility Solan and Catcher milestones achieved Resource additions Increased cash flows: strong production, lower costs and hedging benefits (which continue into 2H and 2016) Many initiatives on-going; <$14/boe opex Reduction in net debt to $2,093 million, despite investments in Solan and Catcher Renegotiated terms; vote of confidence by banks and bondholders On track for Q4 first oil from Solan and 2017 from Catcher Discoveries at Zebedee and Isobel Deep; resource additions at Anoa Refocusing the exploration portfolio Low cost acreage additions in Brazil and Mexico

  • Reserves upside potential
  • Infill drilling opportunities; near

field exploration

  • Nearby accumulations; potential

De-risking the Sea Lion development

August 2015 | P17

  • Phase 1a reservoir is fully

appraised, subsurface plan is robust

  • FPSO and SURF is well

understood, conceptual design is now mature

  • Key project execution

contractors are to be selected ahead of FEED

  • Financing plans progressing well
  • Upside in the area has increased

and become better defined

  • Stakeholder discussions

continuing

Exploration – re-shaping the portfolio

Balance of wells targeting Mature verses Emerging plays

2012 2015

North Sea and SE Asia Falklands, Brazil and Mexico

Growth in emerging basins with material

  • pportunities

Rationalisation in mature areas

  • Focusing on under-explored, emerging

plays in proven hydrocarbon provinces – Entry into Brazil and follow-on farm in to Block 661, Ceará Basin – Successful entry into Mexico with award of Blocks 2 & 7

  • Minimising up-front capex

commitments

  • Current industry conditions favour low

cost acreage acquisition

  • Exiting acreage in traditional, more

mature areas (save for near-field exploration) – Significant disposal proceeds and reduced well commitments – Improved materiality of discoveries

  • Net unrisked prospective resource of

2015 North Falklands Basin campaign

2015 1H highlights

  • Zebedee oil & gas discovery (36% op interest)

– adds c. 50 mmbbls to Phase 2

  • Isobel Deep oil discovery (36% op interest)

– de-risks the Isobel/Elaine fan complex (un- risked Pmean resource of 400 mmbbls) – opens up potential Phase 3 development

Two discoveries from two wells

2015 2H look ahead

  • Jayne East (36% op interest)

– would add resource to Phase 2

  • Chatham (40% op interest)

– would add resource to Phase 1b Beyond 2015

  • Additional exploration/appraisal prospects

identified for drilling in 2017/2018

Brazil – high quality address

  • Limited drilling in the deeper

water parts of the northern Brazil basins

  • Recent significant discoveries in

the Ceará, Potiguar and Sergipe Basins

  • Success of West African Transform

Margin (WATM) not yet fully tested in Brazilian basin equivalents

  • Regional play work to identify

sweet spots within high graded basins with proven active petroleum systems
