Performance Summary

117% increase in NPAT to US$114.5 million, primarily reflecting higher oil prices. Steady oil field performance, highly profitable barrels from mature asset set

Full scale development of PNG LNG Project underway, several construction milestones reached in 1H11. While early days, Project making good progress towards 2014 delivery window. Well placed in today’s competitive construction environmentEmbarking on major drilling programme to prove up further gas reserves for gas commercialisation. Programme also includes significant oil potential in mature PNG field areas and Kurdistan PNG Highlands drilling will comprise both appraisal and exploration, with drilling to commence in 4Q11Initial Gulf of Papua seismic encouraging, potential for a second gas hub in PNGBalance sheet remains strong, with US$1.23 billion cash, undrawncorporate facility provides liquidity backstop Board has approved payment of two US cents per ordinary share, unfranked, interim dividend, payable on/around 10 October 2011

PNG Operating Environment

PNG has built enviable investment record of fiscal stability in resources sector over past 15 years

Unprecedented investment now taking place in oil, gas and mining, encouraged by attractive fiscal policy and stability

History of constructive dialogue between industry and Government to manage issues and expectations

Anticipate that this will continue with new Government, led by Prime Minister Peter O’Neill

Summary

Delivery of PNG LNG underway:Robust project

Outside crowded Australian LNG space, conventional onshore gas, limited technical risks

High quality Operator, making good progress towards first sales in 2014

Largest ever drilling programme, as described

Oil fields generating strong cash flows. Production impacted by associated gas construction in 2H, but expect production to remain flat in 2012/13 despite field maturity

PNG challenging environment, increased focus on managing risk

Balance sheet remains strong, ample liquidity to meet LNG obligations and expansion activities
