OIL SEARCH 2019 FULL YEAR RESULTS | 25 FEBRUARY 2020 PAGE 11

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

◊ NPAT of US$312.4 million, down 8% on the prior year ◊ Revenue increased 3% with production increasing (+11%) following the 2018 earthquake, offset by lower realised liquids pricing (-11%) and LNG and gas prices (-5%) ◊ Higher production costs (+20%), depreciation and amortisation (+27%), largely driven by increased production, and an increase in net finance charges (+10%) ◊ Effective tax rate of 30.4%, compared to 32.8% in 2018, primarily driven by lower profit impacting oil field additional profits tax ◊ Other increases include higher recoveries from JVs on capitalised assets, including IFRS 16 Leases, and insurance recoveries relating to prior year work, offset by impairment of licences relinquished in the year ◊ 2019 final dividend of 4.5 US cents per share, taking full year dividend to 9.5 US cents per share (46% payout ratio) WATERFALL NET PROFIT AFTER TAX, 2018 – 2019 (US$M)

PRODUCTION COSTS

◊ Higher production costs in FY19 reflect: ♦ PNG LNG: higher shared costs, including impact of

  • ffshore liquids loading facility repairs

♦ PNG Oil and Gas: ongoing earthquake remediation work and deferment of in-field activities from 2018 ♦ No insurance receipt offsets for PNG Oil and Gas- related spend in FY19 ♦ PNG LNG earthquake remediation offset by insurance proceeds, with excess proceeds relating to prior year work taken to Other Income ◊ Higher royalties and gas purchases primarily attributable to increased production volumes ◊ Inventory movements reflect higher year end liftings ◊ Other costs of production impacted by higher pre-FEED and study costs relating to PNG expansion ◊ Unit PNG LNG production costs fell 7% to US$7.20 per boe

PNG EXPLORATION PORTFOLIO

◊ Significant potential in Oil Search’s PNG exploration portfolio ◊ Already sufficient discovered gas to underpin PNG LNG Project and LNG expansion opportunities ◊ Subject to available capital, exploration strategy will prioritise activities with potential to underpin additional LNG trains, add material near-term backfill gas or potential for new standalone

  • il fields

◊ Limited licence commitments allows capital prioritisation, with focus on highest value projects in close proximity to existing and potential future infrastructure ◊ Exploration spend in near-term expected to be limited to commitments, pending the PNG Government review of Oil and Gas Act legislation ◊ Core focus for 2020 is on maturing the Eastern Foldbelt following the acquisition of >500 kilometres of 2D seismic since 2017 MATERIAL EXPLORATION UPSIDE, BUT SPEND SUBJECT TO CAPITAL PRIORITISATION

STRATEGIC REVIEW

RESERVES & RESOURCES NOTES

1) Numbers may not add due to rounding. 2) Kutubu and Moran oil fields proved Reserves (1P) and proved and probable (2P) Reserves are as certified by independent auditor Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) in 2017. 1P and 2P PNG LNG Project Reserves are based on Contingent Resources as per draft recertification report in 2019 by independent auditor, NSAI. Gobe Main and SE Gobe 1P and 2P Reserves are based on Oil Search 2019 technical estimates. All Reserves estimations use Oil Search’s corporate assumptions to calculate economic limit. 3) Crude oil, and separator and plant condensates. 4) For the PNG LNG Project, shrinkage has been applied to raw gas for the field condensate, plant liquids recovery, and fuel and flare. 5) Although technical volumes remain accessible, SE Gobe is not expected to be cashflow positive from 2020 using current Oil Search corporate economic

  • assumptions. All SE Gobe Reserves have been moved to Contingent Resources, contingent on a change in economic or commercial assumptions.

6) PNG LNG Project Reserves comprise the Kutubu, Moran, Gobe Main, SE Hedinia, Hides, Angore and Juha fields. Minor volumes associated with proposed domestic gas sales have been included as part of PNG LNG reserves. In addition, third party wet gas sales to the project at the Gobe plant outlet (inclusive of plant condensate) have been included for SE Gobe in 1P and 2P Reserves at the post-sales agreement field interest of 22.34%. SE Gobe estimates for gas are based on Oil Search 2019 technical estimates. 7) Hides Reserves associated with the GTE Project under existing contract. Production volumes shown in this Reserves report are based on Oil Search’s entitlement in PDL 1 (16.67%). 8) Other gas, oil and condensate Resources comprise the Company's other PNG fields including Elk-Antelope, SE Mananda, Juha North, P'nyang, Kimu, Uramu, Barikewa, Iehi, Cobra, Mananda, Flinders, and Muruk and may also include Resources beyond the current economic limit of producing oil and gas

  • fields. These gas Resources may include fuel, flare, and shrinkage depending on the choice of reference point.

9) Alaskan gas, oil, and condensate Resources comprise the Company’s working interest share in Alaskan assets, incorporating the Nanushuk and satellite reservoirs in the Pikka Unit, certified by Ryder Scott. 10) Targeting a planned sell-down of up to 15% interest in the project during 2020
