Oct 23 (Reuters) - Oil Search Ltd (OSH) , the largest oil and gas exploration company in Papua New Guinea, said on Tuesday its third-quarter revenue soared over the previous quarter as production recovered after an earthquake earlier in the year.

Oil Search estimated annual production of 25 million to 26 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) as operations resumed after the earthquake.
