    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 exploration or appraisal 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 Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and on SEDAR, including but not

    limited to those in the Companys Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2014 on Form 40-F and its Annual Information Form for the year ended December

    31, 2014. 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 Companys 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.

    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, 2014, evaluated our gas and condensate resources for the

    Elk, Antelope and Triceratops fields, all of which are in onshore Papua New Guinea. The GLJ 2014 Report, with a preparation date of March 13, 2015 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 2014 Report effective December 31, 2014 of total and net contingent resources for gas and

    condensate at the Elk and Antelope field and the Triceratops field, unless otherwise stated. This Report is included in the Companys 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 other discoveries and prospects are based on internal estimates, and classified as either contingent resources 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.

    Prospective resources are those quantities of natural gas and condensate estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered

    accumulations. 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 or seismic determine 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/or well data. The size of the

    resource estimate could be negatively impacted, potentially in a material amount, if additional appraisal wells or seismic determine 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/or well data.
