RICH SET OF OPPORTUNITIES TO DRIVE VALUABLE GROWTH

BHP Billiton today outlined the broad range of opportunities within its Petroleum business to grow value, returns and cash flow as markets improve.

Speaking at an investor briefing in London, BHP Billiton President Operations Petroleum, Steve Pastor said “Having both minerals and petroleum in our portfolio allows us to maximise the value of our petroleum assets at the right point in the cycle.”

“While currently well supplied, underlying fundamentals suggest both oil and gas markets are improving more quickly than our minerals commodities.”

“Over the next decade, demand growth, natural field decline and the effects of industry wide investment deferrals are expected to create a significant opportunity to invest and maximize value in oil. By 2025 the world is expected to consume more than 100,000 barrels of liquids per day – a third of which would come from new sources.

“We are well placed to capitalise on this opportunity. We have a large, high quality resource base. Our focus on productivity has significantly reduced both operating and capital costs, supporting a range of shale and conventional investment opportunities that would generate compelling returns at today’s prices. As a result, Petroleum is well placed to maintain its position as BHP Billiton’s highest margin business and to grow its free cash flow contribution.”

BHP Billiton runs its Onshore US assets to maximise value rather than volumes and will continue to adjust its investment plans to reflect market conditions.

“Our Onshore US business gives us valuable flexibility. Our shale assets generate cash at current prices, with significant upside should oil and gas prices recover as we expect,” Mr Pastor said.

“We operate in the heart of some of the best shale plays and by further reducing costs and improving capital efficiency to levels among the best in the industry, we have increased our investible well inventory. As a result, we now have up to 1,200 undrilled net oil wells, contingent upon trials in the Eagle Ford, and 220 undrilled net gas wells that generate a minimum 15 per cent internal rate of return (IRR) at US$50 per barrel of oil and US$3 per MMbtu.

“In the Permian, we have access to over one billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) meaning this field has the potential to become the largest production and free cash contributor in our Petroleum portfolio within five years.”

In Conventional, BHP Billiton is expecting unit operating costs to remain at approximately US$10 per boe over the 2017 and 2018 financial years as it pursues a number of options to extend high margin production from its existing facilities.

“We have a rich portfolio of brownfield project options, with total capital expenditure of US$2.5 billion and an average IRR of 45 per cent that will help offset field decline. With significant improvements in capital efficiency, major capital projects like Mad Dog 2 are now economically attractive, even below US$50 per barrel of oil,” Mr Pastor said.

BHP Billiton today also announced positive drilling results at the Caicos exploration well in the Gulf of Mexico. Located in Green Canyon 564, this well is approximately 100 miles south of the Louisiana coast in the deep water Gulf of Mexico. Caicos was drilled to a total depth of 30,803 feet and encountered oil in multiple horizons.

“We are encouraged by the Caicos results and are moving to further appraise the area. The next step will be drilling the Wildling well in November. With success at Caicos and Shenzi North, we continue to be optimistic around the opportunity for a commercial development in the area.”

Statement of Petroleum Resources
Petroleum Resources
The estimates of Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr. A. G. Gadgil, who is employed by BHP Billiton. Mr. Gadgil is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has the required qualifications and experience to act as a qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources evaluator under the ASX Listing Rules. This presentation is issued with the prior written consent of Mr. Gadgil who agrees with the form and context in which the Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources are presented.
Reserves and Contingent Resources are net of royalties owned by others and have been estimated using deterministic methodology. Aggregates of Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates contained in this presentation have been calculated by arithmetic summation of field/project estimates by category with the exception of the North West Shelf (NWS) Gas Project in Australia. Probabilistic methodology has been utilised to aggregate the NWS Reserves and Contingent Resources for the reservoirs dedicated to the gas project only and represents an incremental 39 MMboe of Proved Reserves. The barrel of oil equivalent conversion is based on 6000 scf of natural gas equals 1 boe. The Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are inclusive of fuel required for operations. The respective amounts of fuel for each category are provided by footnote for the resource graphics. The custody transfer point(s)/point(s) of sale applicable for each field or project are the reference point for Reserves and Contingent Resources. Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates have not been adjusted for risk. Unless noted otherwise, Reserves and Contingent Resources are as of 30 June 2016. Where used in this presentation, the term Resources represents the sum of 2P reserves and 2C Contingent Resources.
BHP Billiton estimates Proved Reserve volumes according to SEC disclosure regulations and files these in our annual 20-F report with the SEC. All Unproved volumes are estimated using SPE-PRMS guidelines, which among other things, allow escalations to prices and costs, and as such, would be on a different basis than that prescribed by the SEC, and are therefore excluded from our SEC filings. All Resources and other Unproved volumes may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. Non-proved estimates are inherently more uncertain than proved.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only Proved, Probable and Possible Reserves, and only when such Reserves have been determined in accordance with SEC guidelines. We use certain terms in this presentation such as “Resources,” “Contingent Resources,” “2C Contingent Resources” and similar terms as well as Probable Reserves not determined in accordance with the SEC’s guidelines, all of which measures we are strictly prohibited from including in filings with the SEC. These measures include Reserves and Resources with substantially less certainty than Proved Reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, File No. 001-09526 and in our other filings with the SEC, available from us at http://www.bhpbilliton.com/. These forms can also be obtained from the SEC as described above.

Global energy needs are rising
Emerging economies will drive energy demand
– global population to increase by 1.5 billion and GDP to double by 2035
– world must pursue the twin objectives of providing access to affordable and reliable energy while limiting climate change
Fossil fuels will remain an important part of the energy mix
– fossil fuels represent four-fifths of the world’s energy needs through to 2035
– oil demand to grow as rising fleet size and industrial use more than offset efficiency gains and technological disruption
– environmental, operational and economic advantages of natural gas enable it to be the fastest growing fossil fuel
– despite strong growth in solar and wind, overall contribution to energy mix remains relatively small over the next two decades

Positive long-term oil demand fundamentals
Robust demand growth underpinned by developing countries
- China and India expected to account for half of global demand growth over the next decade
- OECD demand has peaked and is expected to decline
Demand will rise, despite gains in energy efficiency and electric vehicles (EV)
- rising fuel efficiency of conventional and hybrid vehicles will be the major source of oil displacement over the next two decades
- EV sales are expected to grow by ~25% per annum for 20 years, leading to a ~140 million EV fleet by 2035
- EVs expected to displace more than 2 MMbbl/d of oil consumption in 2035, versus around 12.5 MMbbl/d from fuel efficiency improvements

~30 MMbbl/d of new supply required by 2025
Compelling supply opportunity
- natural field decline and demand growth drive need for new supply
- new supply required equates to approximately one third of current demand by 2025
- upstream spending is down significantly over the last two years
Higher prices required to induce investment
- many supply sources have a core that is profitable below US$60/bbl
- development of non-core supply needs higher inducement prices; shale is no exception
- productivity improvements likely to continue, but at a more moderate pace

North American gas: strong demand, abundant supply
Strong demand growth underpinned by multiple sectors
- total North American demand CAGR of ~3% to 2025
- gas is a reliable, economic and a low emission fuel for power generation
- gas displaces coal and provides flexible generation to support the rising penetration of intermittent wind and solar in the power sector
- US is becoming one of the top three LNG exporters globally
Availability of lower cost supply will limit price appreciation
- abundant supply options
- as core areas are depleted, new production additions are incrementally higher cost

Statement of Petroleum Resources
Petroleum Resources
The estimates of Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr. A. G. Gadgil, who is employed by BHP Billiton. Mr. Gadgil is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has the required qualifications and experience to act as a qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources evaluator under the ASX Listing Rules. This presentation is issued with the prior written consent of Mr. Gadgil who agrees with the form and context in which the Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources are presented.
Reserves and Contingent Resources are net of royalties owned by others and have been estimated using deterministic methodology. Aggregates of Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates contained in this presentation have been calculated by arithmetic summation of field/project estimates by category with the exception of the North West Shelf (NWS) Gas Project in Australia. Probabilistic methodology has been utilised to aggregate the NWS Reserves and Contingent Resources for the reservoirs dedicated to the gas project only and represents an incremental 39 MMboe of Proved Reserves. The barrel of oil equivalent conversion is based on 6000 scf of natural gas equals 1 boe. The Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are inclusive of fuel required for operations. The respective amounts of fuel for each category are provided by footnote for the resource graphics. The custody transfer point(s)/point(s) of sale applicable for each field or project are the reference point for Reserves and Contingent Resources. Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates have not been adjusted for risk. Unless noted otherwise, Reserves and Contingent Resources are as of 30 June 2016. Where used in this presentation, the term Resources represents the sum of 2P reserves and 2C Contingent Resources.
BHP Billiton estimates Proved Reserve volumes according to SEC disclosure regulations and files these in our annual 20-F report with the SEC. All Unproved volumes are estimated using SPE-PRMS guidelines, which among other things, allow escalations to prices and costs, and as such, would be on a different basis than that prescribed by the SEC, and are therefore excluded from our SEC filings. All Resources and other Unproved volumes may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. Non-proved estimates are inherently more uncertain than proved.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only Proved, Probable and Possible Reserves, and only when such Reserves have been determined in accordance with SEC guidelines. We use certain terms in this presentation such as “Resources,” “Contingent Resources,” “2C Contingent Resources” and similar terms as well as Probable Reserves not determined in accordance with the SEC’s guidelines, all of which measures we are strictly prohibited from including in filings with the SEC. These measures include Reserves and Resources with substantially less certainty than Proved Reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, File No. 001-09526 and in our other filings with the SEC, available from us at http://www.bhpbilliton.com/.

Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding: reserves and resources and the production, revenues and costs relating thereto, trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; plans, strategies and objectives of management; closure or divestment of certain operations or facilities (including associated costs); anticipated production or construction commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs and shortages of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; provisions and contingent liabilities; tax and regulatory developments.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as ‘intend’, ‘aim’, ‘project’, ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘continue’, ‘annualised’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations concerning the results of operations or financial condition, or provide other forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
For example, future revenues from our operations, other results, projects or mines described in this presentation will be based, in part, upon the market price of the minerals, metals or petroleum produced, which may vary significantly from current levels. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, the continuation of existing operations.
Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include uncertainties in estimating reserves, difficulties in converting resources into reserves and reserves into quantities of oil and gas, operating risks, changes in operating costs, factors that affect the actual construction or production commencement dates, costs or production output and anticipated lives of operations, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and transport the minerals, petroleum and/or metals extracted to applicable markets; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the minerals, petroleum or metals we produce; activities of government authorities in some of the countries where we are exploring or developing these projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes, changes in environmental and other regulations and political uncertainty; labour unrest; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in BHP Billiton’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, the Group does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events.
Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.
Non-IFRS financial information
BHP Billiton results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including Underlying EBIT and Underlying EBITDA which are used to measure segment performance. This release may also include certain non-IFRS and other financial measures including Adjusted effective tax rate, Free cash flow, Gearing ratio, Net debt, Net operating assets, Underlying attributable profit, Underlying basic (loss)/earnings per share, Underlying EBIT margin and Underlying EBITDA margin. These measures are used internally by management to assess the performance of our business, make decisions on the allocation of our resources and assess operational management. Non-IFRS and other financial measures have not been subject to audit or review and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of profitability, financial performance or liquidity.
Presentation of data
Unless specified otherwise: all data is presented on a continuing operations basis to exclude the contribution from assets that were demerged with South32; references to Underlying EBITDA margin exclude third party trading activities; data from subsidiaries is shown on a 100 per cent basis and data from equity accounted investments and other operations is shown on a proportionate consolidation basis. Numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to rounding. Onshore US scenarios are based on price estimates from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Macquarie, Morgan Stanley and UBS as at 8 August 2016 and do not necessarily correspond to BHP Billiton’s view of prices.
No offer of securities
Nothing in this presentation should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell BHP Billiton securities in any jurisdiction, or be treated or relied upon as a recommendation or advice by BHP Billiton.
Reliance on third party information

Statement of Petroleum Resources
Petroleum Resources
The estimates of Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr. A. G. Gadgil, who is employed by BHP Billiton. Mr. Gadgil is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has the required qualifications and experience to act as a qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources evaluator under the ASX Listing Rules. This presentation is issued with the prior written consent of Mr. Gadgil who agrees with the form and context in which the Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources are presented.
Reserves and Contingent Resources are net of royalties owned by others and have been estimated using deterministic methodology. Aggregates of Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates contained in this presentation have been calculated by arithmetic summation of field/project estimates by category with the exception of the North West Shelf (NWS) Gas Project in Australia. Probabilistic methodology has been utilised to aggregate the NWS Reserves and Contingent Resources for the reservoirs dedicated to the gas project only and represents an incremental 39 MMboe of Proved Reserves. The barrel of oil equivalent conversion is based on 6000 scf of natural gas equals 1 boe. The Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are inclusive of fuel required for operations. The respective amounts of fuel for each category are provided by footnote for the resource graphics. The custody transfer point(s)/point(s) of sale applicable for each field or project are the reference point for Reserves and Contingent Resources. Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates have not been adjusted for risk. Unless noted otherwise, Reserves and Contingent Resources are as of 30 June 2016. Where used in this presentation, the term Resources represents the sum of 2P reserves and 2C Contingent Resources.
BHP Billiton estimates Proved Reserve volumes according to SEC disclosure regulations and files these in our annual 20-F report with the SEC. All Unproved volumes are estimated using SPE-PRMS guidelines, which among other things, allow escalations to prices and costs, and as such, would be on a different basis than that prescribed by the SEC, and are therefore excluded from our SEC filings. All Resources and other Unproved volumes may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. Non-proved estimates are inherently more uncertain than proved.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only Proved, Probable and Possible Reserves, and only when such Reserves have been determined in accordance with SEC guidelines. We use certain terms in this presentation such as “Resources,”“Contingent Resources,”“2C Contingent Resources” and similar terms as well as Probable Reserves not determined in accordance with the SEC’s guidelines, all of which measures we are strictly prohibited from including in filings with the SEC. These measures include Reserves and Resources with substantially less certainty than Proved Reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, File No. 001-09526 and in our other filings with the SEC, available from us at http://www.bhpbilliton.com/. These forms can also be obtained from the SEC as described above.

Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding: reserves and resources and the production, revenues and costs relating thereto, trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; plans, strategies and objectives of management; closure or divestment of certain operations or facilities (including associated costs); anticipated production or construction commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs and shortages of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; provisions and contingent liabilities; tax and regulatory developments.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as ‘intend’, ‘aim’, ‘project’, ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘continue’, ‘annualised’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations concerning the results of operations or financial condition, or provide other forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
For example, future revenues from our operations, other results, projects or mines described in this presentation will be based, in part, upon the market price of the minerals, metals or petroleum produced, which may vary significantly from current levels. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, the continuation of existing operations.
Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include uncertainties in estimating reserves, difficulties in converting resources into reserves and reserves into quantities of oil and gas, operating risks, changes in operating costs, factors that affect the actual construction or production commencement dates, costs or production output and anticipated lives of operations, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and transport the minerals, petroleum and/or metals extracted to applicable markets; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the minerals, petroleum or metals we produce; activities of government authorities in some of the countries where we are exploring or developing these projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes, changes in environmental and other regulations and political uncertainty; labour unrest; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in BHP Billiton’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, the Group does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.
Non-IFRS financial information
BHP Billiton results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including Underlying EBIT and Underlying EBITDA which are used to measure segment performance. This release may also include certain non-IFRS and other financial measures including Adjusted effective tax rate, Free cash flow, Gearing ratio, Net debt, Net operating assets, Underlying attributable profit, Underlying basic (loss)/earnings per share, Underlying EBIT margin and Underlying EBITDA margin. These measures are used internally by management to assess the performance of our business, make decisions on the allocation of our resources and assess operational management. Non-IFRS and other financial measures have not been subject to audit or review and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of profitability, financial performance or liquidity.
Presentation of data
Unless specified otherwise: all data is presented on a continuing operations basis to exclude the contribution from assets that were demerged with South32; references to Underlying EBITDA margin exclude third party trading activities; data from subsidiaries is shown on a 100 per cent basis and data from equity accounted investments and other operations is shown on a proportionate consolidation basis. Numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to rounding. Onshore US scenarios are based on price estimates from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Macquarie, Morgan Stanley and UBS as at 8 August 2016 and do not necessarily correspond to BHP Billiton’s view of prices.
No offer of securities
Nothing in this presentation should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell BHP Billiton securities in any jurisdiction, or be treated or relied upon as a recommendation or advice by BHP Billiton.
Reliance on third party information
The views expressed in this presentation contain information that has been derived from publicly available sources that have not been independently verified.

Statement of Petroleum Resources
Petroleum Resources
The estimates of Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr. A. G. Gadgil, who is employed by BHP Billiton. Mr. Gadgil is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has the required qualifications and experience to act as a qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources evaluator under the ASX Listing Rules. This presentation is issued with the prior written consent of Mr. Gadgil who agrees with the form and context in which the Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources are presented.
Reserves and Contingent Resources are net of royalties owned by others and have been estimated using deterministic methodology. Aggregates of Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates contained in this presentation have been calculated by arithmetic summation of field/project estimates by category with the exception of the North West Shelf (NWS) Gas Project in Australia. Probabilistic methodology has been utilised to aggregate the NWS Reserves and Contingent Resources for the reservoirs dedicated to the gas project only and represents an incremental 39 MMboe of Proved Reserves. The barrel of oil equivalent conversion is based on 6000 scf of natural gas equals 1 boe. The Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are inclusive of fuel required for operations. The respective amounts of fuel for each category are provided by footnote for the resource graphics. The custody transfer point(s)/point(s) of sale applicable for each field or project are the reference point for Reserves and Contingent Resources. Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates have not been adjusted for risk. Unless noted otherwise, Reserves and Contingent Resources are as of 30 June 2016. Where used in this presentation, the term Resources represents the sum of 2P reserves and 2C Contingent Resources.
BHP Billiton estimates Proved Reserve volumes according to SEC disclosure regulations and files these in our annual 20-F report with the SEC. All Unproved volumes are estimated using SPE-PRMS guidelines, which among other things, allow escalations to prices and costs, and as such, would be on a different basis than that prescribed by the SEC, and are therefore excluded from our SEC filings. All Resources and other Unproved volumes may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. Non-proved estimates are inherently more uncertain than proved.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only Proved, Probable and Possible Reserves, and only when such Reserves have been determined in accordance with SEC guidelines. We use certain terms in this presentation such as “Resources,” “Contingent Resources,” “2C Contingent Resources” and similar terms as well as Probable Reserves not determined in accordance with the SEC’s guidelines, all of which measures we are strictly prohibited from including in filings with the SEC. These measures include Reserves and Resources with substantially less certainty than Proved Reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, File No. 001-09526 and in our other filings with the SEC, available from us at http://www.bhpbilliton.com/. These forms can also be obtained from the SEC as described above.
