3.2 Effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, immediately prior to giving effect to the amendments contained in Section 2 of this Second Amendment: (a) each Existing Lender has, in consultation with the Borrower, agreed to (i) reallocate its respective Commitment and (ii) allow each New Lender to become a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender by acquiring an interest in the total Commitments; and (b) for an agreed consideration, each Existing Lender (each, an “Assignor”) hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to each other New and Continuing Lender (each, an “Assignee”), and such Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from such Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions (as set forth in Annex 1 to Exhibit A) and the Credit Agreement, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, immediately prior to giving effect to the terms of Section 2 of this Second Amendment, (i) all of such Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto, in each case, to the extent related to an amount and percentage interest of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of such Assignor under the Credit Agreement (including any participations in LC Exposure), to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, each New and Continuing Lender shall have the Applicable Percentage and Commitment set forth for such New and Continuing Lender on Schedule 2.01 attached to this Second Amendment, which Schedule 2.01 supersedes and replaces Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement (and Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto); and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the such Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (i) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Assigned Interest”; and the sales and assignments and purchases and assumptions of the Assigned Interests described in this clause (b) being referred to herein collectively as the “Assignment and Reallocation”). Such sale and assignment is without recourse to any Assignor and, except as expressly provided in this Section 3, without representation or warranty by any Assignor. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the Assignment and Reallocation, each New Lender shall become a party to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment, as a “Lender” and shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment, and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Existing Lender and the Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the Assignment and Reallocation. With respect to the Assignment and Reallocation, each Existing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and assigned its Assigned Interest, and each New and Continuing Lender shall be deemed to have acquired such Assigned Interest pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), as if each Lender had executed such Assignment Agreement with respect to such Assigned Interest, pursuant to which (i) each New and Continuing Lender shall be an “Assignee”, (ii) each Existing Lender shall be an “Assignor” and (iii) the term “Effective Date” shall be the Second Amendment Effective Date as defined herein. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the Assignment and Reallocation, the Administrative Agent shall take the actions specified in Section 10.04(b)(iv), including recording the Assignment and Reallocation described herein in the Register, and the Assignment and Reallocation shall be effective for all purposes of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.04(b)(ii)(C), no Lender shall be required to pay a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent in connection with the Assignment and Reallocation.
Section 4. Conditions Precedent. This Second Amendment shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement) (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”):

The Company hereby requests such counsel to deliver such opinions.

4.6 The Administrative Agent shall have received financial projections of the Company and its subsidiaries in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it.
4.7 Since December 31, 2023, there has been no change in the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, has had or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
4.8 The Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of each Loan Party, the authorization of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other legal matters relating to the Loan Parties, this Second Amendment, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
4.9 No Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to declare the occurrence of the Second Amendment Effective Date when it has received documents confirming compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 4 or the waiver of such conditions as agreed to by the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.02(b) of the Credit Agreement. Such declaration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties to this Second Amendment for all purposes. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Second Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

We may use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource”, “gross resource”, “recoverable resource”, “net risked PMEAN resource”, “recoverable oil”, “resource base”, “EUR” or “estimated ultimate recovery” and similar terms that the SEC’s rules prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC . The SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves in our filings with the SEC . Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures and risk factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q or Current Report on Form 8 - K that we file, available from the SEC’s website . This presentation contains forward - looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 .

Factors that could cause one or more of these future events, results or plans not to occur as implied by any forward - looking statement, which consequently could cause actual results or activities to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements, include, but are not limited to : macro conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, including supply/demand levels, actions taken by major oil exporters and the resulting impacts on commodity prices ; geopolitical concerns ; increased volatility or deterioration in the success rate of our exploration programs or in our ability to maintain production rates and replace reserves ; reduced customer demand for our products due to environmental, regulatory, technological or other reasons ; adverse foreign exchange movements ; political and regulatory instability in the markets where we do business ; the impact on our operations or market of health pandemics such as COVID - 19 and related government responses ; other natural hazards impacting our operations or markets ; any other deterioration in our business, markets or prospects ; any failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals ; any inability to service or refinance our outstanding debt or to access debt markets at acceptable prices ; or adverse developments in the U .

Non - GAAP Financial Measures – This presentation contains certain non - GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Murphy Oil Corporation’s overall financial performance . These non - GAAP financial measures are broadly used to value and compare companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry . Not all companies define these measures in the same way . In addition, these non - GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures .

12 12 Murphy January 2026 Investor Presentation APPENDIX

13 13 Murphy January 2026 Investor Presentation SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Capital Allocation Plan The timing and magnitude of debt reductions and share repurchases will largely depend on oil and natural gas prices, developm ent costs and operating expenses, as well as any high - return investment opportunities. Because of the uncertainties around these matters, it is not poss ible to forecast how and when the company’s targets might be achieved. Share Repurchase Program The share repurchase program allows the company to repurchase shares through a variety of methods, including but not limited to open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and other means in accordance with federal securities laws, such as through Rule 10b5 - 1 tradin g plans and under Rule 10b - 18 of the Exchange Act. This repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued completely at any tim e without prior notice as determined by the company at its discretion and dependent upon a variety of factors. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Non - GAAP) Murphy defines adjusted free cash flow (a non - GAAP financial measure) as net cash provided by continuing operations activities, before non - cash working capital changes, less property additions and dry hole costs, acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, distributions to NC I, dividends, withholding tax on stock - based inventive awards, and other payments such as debt tender and issuance costs and contingent consideration payments. S ee reconciliation slide for calculation. Leverage (Non - GAAP) Murphy defines leverage (a non - GAAP financial ratio) as total debt, including finance lease obligations, divided by adjusted ear nings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) attributable to Murphy (non - GAAP). See reconciliation slide for calculation.

Management believes adjusted free cash flow is important information to provide as it is used by management to evaluate the C omp any’s ability to generate additional cash from business operations. Adjusted free cash flow is a non - GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for other financial measures as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Murphy’s definition of adjusted free cash flow is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretion ary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Adjusted fre e cash flow as reported by Murphy may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with other performanc e m easured prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, we believe it is important to view adjusted free cash flow as supplemental to our entire statement of cash flows.

Murphy’s definition of leverage and adjusted EBITDA is limited and does wholly represent the co mpa ny’s ability to service debt due to the absence of other obligations or payments, and the accrual nature of adjusted EBITDA. Leverage and Adjusted EBITDA are non - GAAP financia l measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for measures prepared in accordan ce with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, we believe it is important to view leverage and adjusted EBITDA as supplemental to our entire financial statements.

MURPHY
OIL CORPORATION ACHIEVES APPRAISAL SUCCESS AT
HAI SU VANG FIELD, UNLOCKING SIGNIFICANT RESOURCE UPSIDE
HOUSTON, Texas, January 6, 2026 – Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR) today announced that its subsidiary has successfully drilled the Hai Su Vang-2X (HSV-2X) appraisal well in Block 15-2/17 in the Cuu Long Basin, located approximately 40 miles offshore of Vietnam. The well spud in early October 2025 and marks a major milestone in Murphy’s strategic appraisal campaign for the Hai Su Vang (Golden Sea Lion) field.
The HSV-2X well was drilled to appraise the 2025 Hai Su Vang discovery, where the initial discovery well encountered approximately 370 feet of net oil pay across two reservoirs. The HSV-2X well encountered 429 feet of net oil pay across the same two reservoirs, including 332 feet of net oil pay in the deeper primary reservoir and 97 feet of net oil pay in the shallow reservoir.
Within the primary reservoir, the HSV-2X appraisal well deepened the proven oil-down-to by 413 feet without encountering water, extending the total hydrocarbon column to approximately 1,600 feet. Formation evaluation supports reservoir continuity to the HSV-1X discovery well. The primary reservoir achieved a production rate of 6,000 barrels of oil per day during flow testing of the appraisal well. The well produced high-quality, 37-degree API oil which is consistent with the results from the discovery well. Further testing is ongoing.
These results confirm Hai Su Vang as a significant discovery and inform an updated range of recoverable resources for the field. The updated midpoint of recoverable resources for the primary reservoir is towards the high end of our previously communicated range of 170 to 430 MMBOE and the high end of the new range now exceeds 430 MMBOE. Additionally, results from the shallow reservoir provide recoverable resource upside not included in the previously communicated range. Additional appraisal wells are necessary to further refine the range of recoverable resources for both reservoirs.
“This is a pivotal moment for our Vietnam business,” said Eric Hambly, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The success of HSV-2X not only reinforces the commerciality of the Hai Su Vang field but also sets the stage for a robust development program. We are proud of our team’s execution and remain committed to working closely with our partners and the Vietnamese Government to unlock the full potential of this asset.”
Following completion of HSV-2X operations, Murphy will continue its strategic appraisal campaign to further delineate the field and evaluate additional reservoir intervals with the HSV-3X appraisal well located in Block 15-1/05, and the HSV-4X well in Block 15-2/17. Both appraisal wells are included in our capital program, and we are reaffirming our previously stated CAPEX guidance of $1.1–$1.3 billion for 2026.
Murphy’s subsidiaries, Murphy Cuu Long Tay Oil Co., Ltd. and Murphy Cuu Long Bac Oil Co., Ltd., serve as the operators of Block 15-2/17 and Block 15-1/05, respectively, holding a 40 percent working interest in each block. PetroVietnam Exploration Production Corporation Ltd. holds a 35 percent working interest in each block, and SK Earthon Co., Ltd. holds the remaining 25 percent.
