Disclaimer: Contents and forward looking statements
This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” as defined in United States federal and Canadian securities laws. All statements,
other than statements of historical facts, included in this announcement that address activities, events or developments that InterOil
expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including in particular, the presence of
shallow marine carbonate reservoir, hydrocarbon volumes, and the estimated drilling times of the Bobcat, Wahoo and Raptor wells.
These statements are based on our current beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to us. No assurances
can be given however, that these events will occur. Actual results could differ, and the difference may be material and adverse to the
Company and its shareholders. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
the control of the Company, which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking
statements.
Some of these factors include the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and on SEDAR,
including but not limited to those in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2013 on Form 40-F and its Annual
Information Form for the year ended 31 December 2013. In particular, there is no established market for natural gas or gas condensate in
Papua New Guinea and no guarantee that gas or gas condensate from the Elk and Antelope and Triceratops fields will ultimately be able to
be extracted and sold commercially.
Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Company’s Form 40-F, available from us at www.interoil.com or from the SEC at
www.sec.gov and its Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Finances are reported in US$ unless otherwise stated.

Disclaimer: Resources
Reference is made in this Presentation to Resources.
It should be noted that we have no production or reserves or future net revenue as defined in NI 51-101 or under definitions established by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. GLJ, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, effective as of December 31, 2013,
evaluated our gas and condensate resources for the Elk, Antelope and Triceratops fields, all of which are in onshore Papua New Guinea. The
GLJ 2013 Report, with a preparation date of March 11, 2014 was prepared in accordance with definitions and guidelines in the COGE
Handbook and NI 51-101.
This Presentation outlines GLJ's estimates contained in the GLJ 2013 Report effective December 31, 2013 of total and net contingent
resources for gas and condensate at the Elk and Antelope field and the Triceratops field. This Report is included in the Company’s Annual
Information Form which is filed at SEDAR and is available on our web-site.
All resources estimated for the Elk and Antelope fields are classified as contingent resources – economic status undetermined. At this early
stage of appraisal, the resources estimates for the Triceratops field are classified separately in the GLJ 2013 Report as either contingent
resources – economic status undetermined or prospective resources.
Contingent resources are those quantities of natural gas and condensate estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from
known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be
commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. The economic status of the resources is undetermined and there is no certainty
that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
Accuracy of Resource Estimates
The accuracy of resource estimates is in part a function of the quality and quantity of available data and of engineering and geological
interpretation and judgment. Other factors in the classification as a resource include a requirement for more appraisal wells, detailed
design estimates and near-term development plans. The size of the resource estimate could be positively impacted, potentially in a material
amount, if additional appraisal wells determined that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir is larger than
what is currently estimated based on the interpretation of the seismic and well data. The size of the resource estimate could be negatively
impacted, potentially in a material amount, if additional appraisal wells determined that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the
thickness of the reservoir are less than what is currently estimated based on the interpretation of the seismic and well data.

EXPLORATION
HISTORY
STRATEGY
Proving up the acreage
What we know about our acreage
 Two major petroleum basins in
PNG – the Eastern and
Western Papuan Basins
 InterOil has gravity imaging
over > 95% of its acreage and
>1500km of seismic
 ‘Antelope may not be alone’
 InterOil controls the relatively
unexplored Eastern basin
 Analysis of all data indicate
the widespread presence of
the 3 components critical for
success, reservoir, source rock
and seal
 Tenure secured for up to 11
years with majority ownership
(6 years + 5 year option)
 Sweet spots identified
throughout the acreage - up to
40 potential targets
 Three exploration wells
spudded in March 2014
 All key components critical for
success present in this basin
 Our basin offers less
challenging surface cover and
topography allowing seismic
imaging
 Cracking the code
 Long-term exploration strategy

REVIEW SUMMARY
Cracking the code of the Eastern Papuan Basin to find the next Antelope
12 WELLS BASIN
NEW EMERGING
WELLS BASIN
INTEROIL 12
DOMINATES
Elk-Antelope, PNG’s largest discovery, has put the Eastern Papuan
Basin on the map as an exciting emerging province
InterOil dominates the Eastern Papuan Basin and holds material
equity – a privileged position
3 DISCOVERIES
ALREADY
12 WELLS
InterOil has best knowledge of basin and record of success with three
discoveries – and understanding how to crack the code for more
CRACKING THE CODE
12 WELLS
All three components critical for success – source, reservoir and seal –
can be mapped to varying degrees across InterOil acreage; key to
cracking the code
40 POTENTIAL
TARGETS
12 WELLS
InterOil prospect inventory deep and wide with ~40 potential targets
so far, with more than 10 years of high-growth running room; likely
Antelope is not alone
EXPLORATION SUCCESS
12 WELLS
Further exploration success expected but so too is failure – that is
exploration. An evolving exploration strategy is focused on sequencing
delivery of further risk-mitigated commercial successes
FUNDED, FOCUSED, RIGHT TEAM
InterOil has a world-class asset; with a focus as a pure exploration and
production company. It now has the funding and skills to deliver on
this strategy
