TODAY’S PRESENTATION
CONTENTS & 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.
