Positioning for Gas Grow th

Key focus is to position Oil Search for

additional long term gas-based grow th

  • pportunities beyond PNG LNG

Further LNG developm ents com m and the

highest value and are highest priority: Additional PNG LNG train: Based on Hides, Juha and

nearby gas eg P’nyang

Alternative additional LNG train: Aggregate gas

from Forelands/ Offshore

3 rd train LNG econom ics are very strong, can

leverage off PNG LNG infrastructure

Other gas com m ercialisation opportunities also

being pursued

Providing Cash for Grow th

Since Oil Search took over operatorship of PNG oil fields

in 2 0 0 3 , fields have produced ~ 5 0 m m bbl in excess of previous operator’s expectations and field life extended

Aim is to optim ise PNG oil cash generation over the next

5 years to support PNG LNG Project funding requirem ents

Existing oilfields are m ature ( base decline rate of 1 5 -

2 0 % ) but w ith appropriate investm ent, expect to continue to m itigate base decline curve

PNG production is highly profitable – net oilfield costs,

excluding tariffs, are under US$ 1 0 / bbl – resilient to low er oil prices

Need to balance w ork program m es and hence production

  • utcom es w ith available cash flow
