DIRECTORS’ REPORT 013 DIRECTORS’ REPORT The Board is pleased to present its directors’ report: 1. Review of Results of Operations In the first half of 2022, while the world economy faced major changes and recorded a sluggish growth, China’s economy initially made a good start but was affected in the second quarter by the rebound of COVID-19 pandemic (the “COVID-19”) in certain local regions together with other factors that were beyond expectations, which resulted in increasing the downward pressure on the economy. Generally, the economy in China achieved a positive growth in the first half of the year with the gross domestic product (“GDP”) increasing by 2.5% as compared with the same period last year. Despite that the supply and demand in the global oil market maintained a tight balance, the international crude oil prices continued to fluctuate upwards due to the impact brought by geopolitical factors such as the Ukraine crisis, which resulted in a significant increase of average prices as compared with the same period of last year. By overcoming the impact arising out of various adverse factors, including the rebound of COVID-19 and the drop in demand in the refined oil product market, the Group vigorously strengthened its efforts in oil and gas exploration and development and strived to increase reserves and output. Under the market-oriented approach, the Group also continuously optimised its product structure and actively conducted its marketing and sales activities to increase sales revenue. As the Group adhered to low-cost development, continuously strengthening its precise management, intensively promoting quality improvement and profitability enhancement, its costs and expenses remained under effective control and also its ability to create value for the two principal industrial chains, namely, the oil and gas, was enhanced on a continuous basis. Furthermore, it adhered to green and low-carbon transformation, and actively and steadily promoted the development of new energy and new materials business. The operating results of the Group in the first half of the year continued to grow due to the surge of international oil prices, with significant improvement of free cash flow as compared with the same period of last year and a healthy financial condition. (1) Market Review • Crude Oil Market In the first half of 2022, there was a substantial increase in the international crude oil price due to the impact brought by various factors such as the demand-and-supply relationship and geopolitical landscape. The average spot price for North Sea Brent crude oil was US$107.94 per barrel, representing an increase of 66.1% as compared with the same period of last year, and the average spot price for West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil was US$101.85 per barrel, representing an increase of 63.7% as compared with the same period of last year. • Refined Products Market In the first half of 2022, due to the rebound of COVID-19 in certain regions, the decline in the demand for domestic refined products led to a parallel reduction in the supply of refined products. At the same time, subject to quota restriction, there was a decrease in the export of refined products on a year-on-year basis, resulting in
014 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2022 INTERIM REPORT continuously intensifying pressure of excess resources. The trend of domestic refined products prices was basically consistent with that of the international market oil prices. The PRC government made adjustments for 12 times to the prices of domestic gasoline and diesel products, and the prices of reference gasoline and diesel products increased, in aggregate, by RMB2,400 per ton and RMB2,310 per ton, respectively. • Chemical Products Market In the first half of 2022, the domestic market experienced a fall in the growth of demand for chemical products and the market prices of chemical products diverged, where the prices of polyolefins and downstream synthetic resin decreased, the price of synthetic rubber slightly increased and the price of aromatic hydrocarbon soared considerably. The significant rise in raw material costs of chemical enterprises further narrowed the profit margins generated by chemical enterprises and subsequently led to a drop in the rate of operation. • Natural Gas Market In the first half of 2022, natural gas prices in the international market continued to hover at high levels. Geopolitical factors further changed the flow of trade relating to, and also the demand and supply of, natural gas around the world. Due to the impact brought by factors such as the COVID-19 in certain regions and also the macro-economic growth at a rate lower than expectation, the domestic consumption volumes of natural gas grew at slow pace. (2) Business Review • Exploration and Production Domestic Exploration and Development Operations In the first half of 2022, the Group enhanced its efforts in domestic oil and gas exploration and development, proactively increased its reserves and output based on the change in oil prices, and made a range of major discoveries and breakthroughs in Tarim, Junggar, Ordos, Sichuan and other basins; the Group enhanced its efforts in the evaluation of oil and gas resources and in the increase of its production, implemented the control of decline rates of the obsolete oil and gas fields and promoted major development and tests, focused on the construction of new projects in new areas in a profitable manner, and enhanced the sizeable and profitable development of shale oil and gas. The domestic crude oil output of the Group amounted to 387.7 million barrels, representing an increase of 3.4% as compared with the same period of last year. The marketable natural gas output amounted to 2,253.8 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 4.4% as compared with the same period of last year. The oil and natural gas equivalent output amounted to 763.4 million barrels, representing an increase of 3.9% as compared with the same period of last year. By adhering to the strategies of green and low-carbon transformation, the Group actively promoted the development of new energy business, accelerated the construction of new energy bases in “desert, gobi, wasteland” areas, vigorously promoted the business development of wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation, built various demonstration projects in an orderly manner, including those involving the coordination of upstream and downstream operation, the utilisation of clean energy substitution and the creation of green operation areas, and comprehensively launched the million-tonne grade CCUS full-industry-chain demonstration project in Songliao basin.
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 015 Overseas Oil and Gas Operations In the first half of 2022, as the Group proactively responded to market change, steadily promoted its overseas oil and gas cooperation and focused on intensifying its sizeable and profitable exploration activities in key areas, it therefore made numerous important achievements. The Group also accelerated the pace of building up its key production capacity and continued to optimise the business presence and asset structure. The Group’s overseas crude oil output amounted to 64.2 million barrels, representing a decrease of 5.9% as compared with the same period of last year. The marketable natural gas output was 104.4 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 5.5% as compared with the same period of last year. The oil and natural gas equivalent output was 81.6 million barrels, representing a decrease of 3.7% as compared with the same period of last year and accounting for 9.7% of the total oil and natural gas equivalent output of the Group. In the first half of 2022, the Group recorded the crude oil output of 451.9 million barrels, representing an increase of 2.0% as compared with the same period of last year, the marketable natural gas output of 2,358.2 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 4.4% as compared with the same period of last year, and the oil and natural gas equivalent output of 845.0 million barrels, representing an increase of 3.1% as compared with the same period of last year.

020 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2022 INTERIM REPORT 2. Management Discussion and Analysis (1) The financial data set out below is extracted from the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS • Consolidated Operating Results In the first half of 2022, the Group achieved a revenue of RMB1,614,621 million, representing an increase of 34.9% as compared with the same period of last year. Net profit attributable to owners of the Company was RMB82,391 million, representing an increase of 55.3% as compared with the same period of last year. There was a basic earnings per share of RMB0.45. Revenue Revenue of the Group was RMB1,614,621 million for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 34.9% as compared with the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the increase in the prices of the oil and gas products of the Group alongside with the surge of international oil prices. The table below sets out the external sales volume and average realised prices of the major products sold by the Group in the first half of 2022 and 2021 and their respective percentages of change during these periods: Sales Volume (’000 ton) Average Realised Price (RMB/ton) First half of First half of Percentage of change First half of First half of Percentage of change 2022 2021 (%) 2022 2021 (%) Crude oil* 68,574 82,781 (17.2) 4,807 3,003 60.1 Natural gas (100 million cubic metres, RMB/’000 cubic metres)** 1,302.91 1,340.79 (2.8) 2,521 1,441 74.9 Gasoline 29,820 33,724 (11.6) 8,701 6,594 32.0 Diesel 35,563 38,490 (7.6) 7,658 4,849 57.9 Kerosene 6,050 8,125 (25.5) 6,095 3,382 80.2 Polyethylene 3,227 2,609 23.7 8,151 7,683 6.1 Polypropylene 2,018 2,079 (2.9) 7,753 7,880 (1.6) Lubricant 628 926 (32.2) 8,921 6,546 36.3 * The crude oil listed above represents all the external sales volume of crude oil of the Group and the decline in the sales of crude oil was mainly due to lower re-export trade volumes. ** The natural gas listed above represents all the external sales volume of natural gas of the Group. The relatively significant increase in the realised price of natural gas was mainly due to the substantial increase in the overseas sales price and trading price of natural gas. Operating Expenses Operating expenses were RMB1,495,606 million for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 35.0% as compared with the same period of last year, of which: Purchases, Services and Other Purchases, services and other were RMB1,111,531 million for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 37.4% as compared with the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the increase in the Group’s purchase costs of external crude oil, raw material oil, etc.
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 021 Employee Compensation Costs Employee compensation costs (including salaries, various types of insurance, housing provident fund, training costs and other relevant additional costs of employees and market-oriented temporary and seasonal contractors) for the first half of 2022 were RMB74,927 million, representing an increase of 12.1% as compared with the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the change in employees’ remuneration, which was aligned with the change in profitability. Exploration Expenses Exploration expenses were RMB12,839 million for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 15.2% as compared with the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the fact that in response to the rebound of international oil prices, the Group intensified its oil and gas exploration efforts and strived to increase reserves while at the same time to increase output, which resulted in the increase of expenses in exploration. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortisation Depreciation, depletion and amortisation was RMB102,863 million for the first half of 2022, representing a decrease of 5.1% as compared with the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the increase in international oil prices, the change in the reserves of oil and gas resources and a decrease in depletion rate. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB28,409 million for the first half of 2022, representing a decrease of 6.3% as compared with the same period of last year.

Taxes other than Income Taxes Taxes other than income taxes were RMB141,231 million for the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 37.9% as compared with the same period of last year, of which the consumption tax was RMB80,222 million, representing an increase of 9.4% as compared with the same period of last year; the resource tax was RMB16,210 million, representing an increase of 47.1% as compared with the same period of last year; the crude oil special gain levy was RMB23,346 million, representing an increase of RMB23,149 million as compared with the same period of last year. Other (Expenses)/Income, Net Other expenses, net of the Group for the first half of 2022 was RMB23,806 million as compared with an amount of RMB19,875 million of other income, net of the Group recorded during the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the impact brought by optimisation of the asset structure, and the disposal of certain assets that generated low profitability or were unprofitable at all in the current period, together with the restructuring of the pipeline assets of Kunlun Energy Co., Ltd. (“Kunlun Energy”), a subsidiary of the Group, during the same period of last year. Profit from Operations Profit from operations was RMB119,015 million for the Group in the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 34.5% as compared with the same period of last year. Net Exchange (Loss)/Gain Net exchange loss of the Group for the first half of 2022 was RMB515 million as compared with the net exchange gain of RMB35 million recorded during the same period of last year. This was mainly due to the change of average exchange rate of US dollar against Renminbi. Net Interest Expense Net interest expense was RMB8,269 million for the first half of 2022, representing a decrease of 7.2% as compared with the same period of last year. This was mainly due to the decrease in the interest-bearing debt scale and costs as compared with the same period of last year, which in turn led to a reduction of interest expenses.
022 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2022 INTERIM REPORT Profit before Income Tax Expense Profit before income tax expense was RMB118,335 million for the Group in the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 36.0% as compared with the same period of last year.

For details, please refer to the announcements on the Resolutions Passed at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of PetroChina Company Limited published by the Company on June 9, 2022 on the websites of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange, respectively. 22. Risk Factors In its course of production and operation, the Group actively took various measures to avoid and mitigate various types of risks. However, in practice, it may not be possible to prevent all risks and uncertainties completely. (1) Industry Regulations and Tax Policies Risk The PRC government exercises supervision over the domestic oil and natural gas industry, and its regulatory policies will affect the Group’s operating activities such as obtaining the exploration and production licences, the payment of industry-specific taxes and levies, and the implementation of environmental policies and safety standards. Any future changes in the policies of the PRC government in the oil and natural gas industry may also have an impact on the Group’s operations. Taxes and levies are one of the major external factors affecting the operations of the Group. The PRC government has been actively implementing taxation reforms, which may lead to future changes in the taxes and levies relating to the operations of the Group, thereby affecting the operating results of the Group. (2) Price Fluctuations of Oil and Gas Risk The Group is engaged in a wide range of oil and gas products-related activities and part of its oil and gas products demands are met through external purchases in international market. The prices of crude oil, refined products and natural gas in the international market are affected by various factors such as changes in global and regional politics and economy, demand and supply of oil and gas, as well as unexpected events and disputes with international repercussions. The prices of domestic crude oil are determined by reference to the international prices of crude oil. The prices of domestic refined products are adjusted to reflect the price changes in the international crude oil market. Domestic natural gas prices implement the guidance prices of the PRC government. (3) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk The Group conducts its business primarily in Renminbi in the PRC, but it keeps certain foreign currencies to pay for the imported oil and gas, equipment and other raw materials as well as to repay financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Currently, the PRC government has implemented a regulated floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. However, Renminbi is still regulated in capital projects. The exchange rates of Renminbi are affected by domestic and international economic and political changes, and demand and supply for Renminbi. Future exchange rates of Renminbi against other currencies may vary from the current exchange rates, which in turn would affect the operating results and financial position of the Group.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS 049 (4) Market Competition Risk The Group has distinctive advantages in resources, and is in a leading position in the oil and gas industry in the PRC. At present, major competitors of the Group are other large domestic oil and petrochemical producers and distributors. With the further opening up of the domestic oil and petrochemical market, large foreign oil and petrochemical companies and certain private enterprises have become competitors of the Group in certain regions and segments. The Group has been in a leading position in the exploration and production business and natural gas sales business in China, but the Group is facing relatively intense competition in refining, chemicals and marketing of refined products businesses. (5) Uncertainty of the Oil and Gas Reserves Risk According to industry characteristics and international practices, both the crude oil and natural gas reserve data disclosed by the Group are estimates only. The Group has engaged internationally recognised valuers to evaluate the crude oil and natural gas reserves of the Group on a regular basis. However, the estimates of the reserves depends on a number of factors, assumptions and variables, such as the quality and quantity of technical and economic data, the prevailing oil and gas prices of the Group etc., many of which are beyond the control of the Group and may be adjusted over time. The results of drilling, testing and exploration after the date of the evaluation may also result in revision of the reserves data of the Group to a certain extent. (6) Overseas Operations Risk As the Group operates in a number of countries around the world, it is subject to the influences of different political, legal and regulatory factors prevailing in the countries of operation, including countries which are not very stable and are greatly different from developed countries in certain material aspects. The risks involved primarily include instability in political environment, taxation policies, import and export restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements. (7) Risk Relating to Climate Change In recent years, the oil industry has been facing ever increasing challenges posed by global climate change. A number of international, domestic and regional agreements restricting greenhouse gas emission have been signed and become effective. If China or other countries in which the Company operates take more stringent measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission, the revenue and profits earned by the Group may reduce as a result of substantial capital expenditures and taxation expenditures and increases in operating costs incurred and even the strategic investments of the Group may be subject to the unfavourable impact posed by the related laws, regulations and regulatory requirements. (8) Hidden Hazards and Force Majeure Risk Oil and gas exploration, development, storage and transportation and the production, storage and transportation of refined products and petrochemical products involve certain risks, which may cause unexpected or dangerous events such as personal injuries or death, property damage, environmental damage and disruption to operations, etc. The hazard risks faced by the Group correspond the expansion in the scale and area of operations. In the meantime, new regulations promulgated by the State in recent years set out higher standard for production safety. The Group has implemented a strict HSE management system and used its best endeavours to avoid the occurrence of various accidents. However, the Group cannot completely avoid potential financial losses caused by such contingent incidents. The Group has adopted strict implementation of laws and regulations of the State, and invested in a timely manner to effectively control the safety and environmental hazards found. In addition, natural disasters such as earthquake, typhoon, tsunami and emergency public health events may cause losses to the Group’s properties and personnel, and may affect the normal operations of the Group.

The above-mentioned branches are branch organisation of the Company, rather than the operating segments of the Group. (2) China continues to improve systems, mechanisms, policies and measures for green and low-carbon energy transformation On January 30, 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) and the National Energy Administration (“NEA”) jointly issued the Opinions on Improving Systems, Mechanisms, Policies and Measures for Green and Low-Carbon Energy Transformation (Fa Gai Neng Yuan [2022] No. 206) (《關於完善能源綠色低 碳轉型體制機制和政策措施的意見》（發改能源〔2022〕 206號 ）, which propose to improve the mechanism for clean and profitable utilization of oil and gas, enhance the capacity of exploitation of oil and gas fields in a clean and efficient way, make efforts to promote the transformation and upgrading of the refining and chemical industry, and at the same time increase the synergy of pollution control and carbon reduction. In addition, these opinions require to improve synergistic development of oil and gas, geothermal energy, wind energy, solar energy and other energy resources, and encourage oil and gas enterprises to utilize their own construction land to develop renewable energy and construct distributed energy facilities, and build a multi-energy integrated district energy supply system in the oil and gas field area. Further, the natural gas supply chains should be sorted out and the gas supply levels should be reduced. Traditional oil and gas filling stations are encouraged to establish integrated oil, gas, electricity and hydrogen transportation energy service stations, and more efforts should be made to strengthen the promotion and demonstration of carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage technology, expand the application of carbon dioxide flooding technology, and explore carbon dioxide storage by utilization of underground space formed after oil and gas exploitation. Such matters do not affect the continuity of the business or the stability of management of the Group and are conducive for the Group to promote the synergistic development of oil and gas and new energy businesses.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS 051 (3) China actively builds up a modern energy system On January 29, 2022, NDRC and NEA jointly issued the 14th Five-Year Plan for Modern Energy System (Fa Gai Neng Yuan [2022] No. 210) (《“十四五 ”現代能源體系規劃》(發改能源〔2022〕210號 ) ), which proposes to strengthen domestic oil and gas exploration and development, enhance geological survey and exploration of oil and gas in key basins and sea areas, and consolidate the foundation for resource continuity. Further, it requires to accelerate the use of reserves, properly conduct “control the decline” and “improve the recovery rate” in the developed oil fields, promote stable production of old oil fields and gas fields, and intensify the development of production capacity of new areas, so as to ensure continuously stable and increased production. More effort should be made to expand the exploration and development of unconventional resources, and accelerate the development of shale oil, shale gas and coalbed methane. It is also required to promote steady increase of oil production and rapid growth of natural gas production. Pricing mechanism of refined oil products should be studied and improved. The top-level design improvement of the natural gas market should be sped up, a natural gas market system featuring orderly competition and highly efficient supply should be established, and the natural gas trading platform should be improved. In addition, the market-oriented reform of natural gas prices should be steadily promoted, and the levels of gas distribution should be reduced. Such matters do not affect the continuity of the business or the stability of management of the Group and is conducive to the sustainable and healthy development of the Group and achieving sustainable and positive operating results. (4) China implemented phased price subsidies for oil refining enterprises under high oil prices On June 14, 2022, the Ministry of Finance and NDRC issued the Notice on Implementing Phased Price Subsidies when International Oil Prices Reach the Upper Limit of Regulation (Cai Jian [2022] No. 185) (《關於做好 國際油價觸及調控上限後實施階段性價格補貼有關工作的通知》(財建〔2022〕185號 ) ), which explicitly stipulated that, when the crude oil price in the international market is higher than the upper limit of the price control of refined oil set by the State (US$ 130 per barrel), a staged price subsidy will be implemented for oil refining enterprises. The subsidy standard is the unadjusted highest retail price of gasoline and diesel that was supposed to be adjusted during the period of price adjustment (i.e. a period of ten working days (corresponding to the window for price adjustment of refined oil) is used). The subsidy amount is the actual sales volume of gasoline and diesel by oil refining enterprises during the period of price adjustment. The duration of the policy is tentatively set for two months. If the crude oil price in international market continues to be higher than the upper limit of the price control of refined oil prices set by the State, the relevant control policies will be clarified in advance. Such matters do not affect the continuity of the business or the stability of management of the Group and is conducive to the sustainable and healthy development of the Group and achieving sustainable and positive operating results.

066 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) 1 COMPANY BACKGROUND PetroChina Company Limited (the “Company”) was established as a joint stock company with limited liability on November 5, 1999 by 中国石油天然氣集团公司 (China National Petroleum Corporation (“CNPC”)) as the sole proprietor in accordance with the approval Guo Jing Mao Qi Gai [1999] No. 1024 “Reply on the approval of the establishment of PetroChina Company Limited” from the former State Economic and Trade Commission of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”). CNPC restructured (“the Restructuring”) and injected its core business and the related assets and liabilities into the Company. 中国石油天然氣集团公司 was renamed中国石油天然氣集团公司(“CNPC”before and after the change of name) on December 19, 2017. CNPC is a wholly state-owned company registered in China. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”. The Group is principally engaged in (i) the exploration, development, transportation and production and marketing of crude oil and natural gas, and new energy business; (ii) the refining of crude oil and petroleum products, production and marketing of primary petrochemical products, derivative petrochemical products and other chemical products, and new materials business; (iii) the marketing of refined products and non-oil products, and trading business; and (iv) the transportation of natural gas and the sale of natural gas.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 067 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) 4 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (1) Accounting Period The accounting period of the Group starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. (2) Operating Cycle The Group takes the period from the exploration or acquisition of the crude oil, natural gas and other assets for exploring, transporting and processing and etc. to their realisation in cash and cash equivalent as a normal operating cycle. (3) Recording Currency The recording currency of the Company and most of its subsidiaries is Renminbi (“RMB”). The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB. (4) Measurement Properties Generally are measured at historical cost unless otherwise stated at fair value, net realisable value or present value. (5) Foreign Currency Translation (a) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into RMB at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss except for those arising from foreign currency specific borrowings for the acquisition, construction of qualifying assets in connection with capitalisation of borrowing costs. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at historical cost are translated into RMB at the historical exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions at the balance sheet date. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.
068 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (b) Translation of financial statements represented in foreign currency Assets and liabilities of each balance sheet of the foreign operations are translated into RMB at the closing rates at the balance sheet date, while the equity items are translated into RMB at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions, except for the retained earnings and the translation differences in other comprehensive income. Income and expenses for each income statement of the foreign operations are translated into RMB at the approximate exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The currency translation differences resulted from the above-mentioned translations are recognised as other comprehensive income. The cash flows of overseas operations are translated into RMB at the approximate exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. (6) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents refer to all cash on hand and deposit held at call with banks, short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (7) Financial Instrument Financial instruments include cash at bank and on hand, equity securities other than those classified as long-term equity investments, accounts receivables, accounts payables, borrowings, debentures payable and share capital, etc. (a) Recognition and initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. A financial asset (unless it is an accounts receivable without a significant financing component) and financial liability is measured initially at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, any related directly attributable transaction costs are charged to profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, any related directly attributable transaction costs are included in their initial costs. A trade receivable, without significant financing component or practical expedient applied for one year or less contracts is initially measured at the transaction price according to Note 4(22).
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 069 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (b) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets (i) Classification of the financial assets held by the Group The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: • it is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. A financial asset is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to designate it as a financial assets at FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis, and from the perspective of the issuer, related investment is in line with the definition of equity instruments.
070 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. The business model in which a financial asset is managed refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, the Group’s business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets, or both. The Group determines the business model for managing financial assets according to the facts and based on the specific business objectives for the managing the financial assets determined by the Group’s key management personnel. In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, the Group considers the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For the purposes of this assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial assets at initial recognition. “Interest” is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin. The Group also assesses whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. (ii) Subsequent measurement of the financial assets • Financial assets at FVTPL: These financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss, unless the financial assets are a part of hedging relationship. • Financial assets measured at amortised cost: These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and are not a part of any hedging relationship shall be recognised in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognised, reclassified, through the amortisation process or in order to recognise impairment gains or losses. • Debt investments at FVOCI: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, impairment and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Other gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 071 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) • Equity investments at FVOCI: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised in profit or loss. Other gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings. (c) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as measured at FVTPL or amortised cost. • Financial liabilities at FVTPL: A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading (including derivative financial liability) or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss, unless the financial liabilities are part of a hedging relationship. • Financial liabilities at amortised cost: Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (d) Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally presented separately in the balance sheet, and are not offset. However, a financial asset and a financial liability are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when both of the following conditions are satisfied: • the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; • the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously.
072 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (e) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial asset is derecognised when one of the following conditions is met: • the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; • the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; or • the financial asset has been transferred, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it does not retain control over the transferred asset. Where a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety meets the criteria for derecognition, the difference between the two amounts below is recognised in profit or loss: • the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred measured at the date of derecognition; • the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and, when the transferred financial asset is a debt investment at FVOCI, any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognised directly in other comprehensive income for the part derecognised. The Group derecognises a financial liability (or part of it) only when its contractual obligation (or part of it) is extinguished. (f) Impairment The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss (“ECL”) on financial assets measured at amortised cost , contract assets and debt investments measured at FVOCI. Financial assets measured at fair value, including debt investments or equity investments at FVTPL, equity investments designated at FVOCI and derivative financial assets, are not subject to the ECL assessment.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 073 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (i) Measurement of ECLs ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period (including extension options) over which the group is exposed to credit risk. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the balance sheet date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months). Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the balance sheet date. Except for trade receivables and contract assets, the Group measures loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL for the following financial instruments that have low credit risk for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, and at an amount equal to lifetime ECL for trade receivables and contract assets. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort, including forward-looking information. (ii) Financial instruments that have low credit risk The credit risk on a financial instrument is considered low if the financial instrument has a low risk of default, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. (iii) Significant increases in credit risk In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the balance sheet date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition.
074 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (iv) Credit-impaired financial assets At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt investments at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data: • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer; • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; • for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, the Group having granted to the borrower a concession that would not otherwise consider; • it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. (v) Presentation of allowance for ECL ECLs are remeasured at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for debt investments that are measured at FVOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income. (vi) Write-off The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, according to the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities. Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 075 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (g) Determination of financial instruments’ fair value Regarding financial instruments, for which there is an active market, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, valuation techniques shall be adopted to determine the fair value. When measuring fair value, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the particular asset or liability (including the condition and location of the asset and restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the asset) that market participants would consider when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, and uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data and other information are available to measure fair value. Valuation techniques mainly include the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. (h) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date, the fair value is remeasured. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss, except where the derivatives qualify for hedge accounting. Hedge accounting is a method which recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the same accounting period, to represent the effect of risk management activities. Hedged items are the items that expose the Group to risks of changes in future cash flows and that are designated as being hedged and that must be reliably measurable. The Group’s hedged items include a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market price and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc. A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: (i) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which share a risk and that gives rise to opposite changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. (ii) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. (iii) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that designation shall not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
076 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) • Cash flow hedges Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with all, or a component of, a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable-rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction, and could affect profit or loss. As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, the amount of cash flow hedges reserve is the lower of the following two absolute amounts: • The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; • The cumulative change in present value of the expected future cash flows on the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge is recognised in profit or loss. If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the entity shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or the liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and hence it does not affect other comprehensive income. For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding two policy statements, that amount shall be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss. If the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, the Group immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or loss. In case of the following circumstances, the Group shall discontinue the use of hedge accounting: when the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting (ie. the entity no longer pursues that risk management objective), or when a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or there is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument or the effect of credit risk starts to dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. If the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve and shall be accounted for as cash flow hedges. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, that amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. A hedged future cash flow that is no longer highly probable to occur may still be expected to occur, if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve and shall be accounted for as cash flow hedges.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 077 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (8) Inventories Inventories include crude oil and other raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and spare parts and consumables, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditure incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In addition to the purchase cost of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods include direct labour costs and an appropriate allocation of production overheads. Cost of inventories is determined primarily using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises cost of crude oil, other raw materials, direct labour and production overheads allocated based on normal operating capacity. Spare parts and consumables include low cost consumables and packaging materials. Low cost consumables are amortised with graded amortisation method and packaging materials are expensed off in full. Provision for decline in the value of inventories is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. The net realisable value of materials held for use in the production is measured based on the net realisable value of the finished goods in which they will be incorporated. The net realisable value of the inventory held to satisfy sales or service contracts is measured based on the contract price, to the extent of the quantities specified in sales contracts, and the excess portion of inventories is measured based on general selling prices. The Group adopts perpetual inventory system. (9) Long-term Equity Investments and Joint Operations Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s equity investments in subsidiaries, and the Group’s equity investments in joint ventures and associates. Long-term equity investments acquired through business combinations: For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination under common control, the proportionate share of the carrying value of shareholders’ equity of the combined entity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party shall be treated as initial cost of the investment on the acquisition date. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving entities under common control, the initial cost comprises the aggregate of the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree.
078 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Long-term equity investments acquired through other than business combinations: For an acquisition settled in cash, the initial cost of investment shall be the actual cash consideration paid. For an acquisition settled by the issuance of equity securities, the initial cost of investment shall be the fair value of equity securities issued. (a) Subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of the Company and are consolidated after being adjusted by the equity method accounting in consolidated financial statements. Long-term equity investments accounted for at cost are measured at the initial investment cost unless the investment is classified as held for sale. The cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investees are recognised as investment income in the income statement. A listing of the Group’s principal subsidiaries is set out in Note 6(1). (b) Joint ventures and associates Joint ventures are arrangements whereby the Group and other parties have joint control and rights to the net assets of the arrangements. Associates are those in which the Group has significant influence over the financial and operating policies. The term “joint control” refers to the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (activities with significant impact on the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The term “significant influence” refers to the power to participate in the formulation of financial and operating policies of an enterprise, but not the power to control, or jointly control, the formulation of such policies with other parties. The investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method accounting. The excess of the initial cost of the investment over the share of the fair value of the investee’s net identifiable assets is included in the initial cost of the investment. While the excess of the share of the fair value of the investee’s net identifiable assets over the cost of the investment is instead recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 079 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Under the equity method accounting, the Group’s share of its investees’ post-acquisition profits or losses and other comprehensive income is recognised as investment income or losses and other comprehensive income respectively. When the Group’s share of losses of an investee equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and other long-term interests which substantively form the net investment in the investee, the Group does not recognise further losses as provisions, unless it has obligations to bear extra losses which meet the criteria of recognition for liabilities according to the related standards for contingencies. Movements in the investee owner’s equity other than profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution should be proportionately recognised in the Group’s equity, provided that the share interest of the investee remained unchanged. The share of the investee’s profit distribution or cash dividends declared is accounted for as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment upon declaration. The profits or losses arising from the intra-Group transactions between the Group and its investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the investees, on the basis of which the investment income or losses are recognised. The unrealised loss on the intra-Group transaction between the Group and its investees, of which nature is asset impairment, is recognised in full amount, and the relevant unrealised loss is not allowed to be eliminated. If the Group invests a business to investee as a long-term equity investment but not obtain control, the fair value of the invested business shall be used as the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment. The difference between the carrying amount of the initial cost of the investment and the invested business is recognised in profit or loss. (c) Impairment of long-term equity investments For investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, if the recoverable amount is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount shall be written down to the recoverable amount (Note 4(16)). After an impairment loss has been recognised, it shall not be reversed in future accounting periods for the part whose value has been recovered. (d) Joint Operations A joint operation is an arrangement whereby the Group and other joint operators have joint control and the Group has rights to the assets and obligation for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group recognises items related to its interest in a joint operation as follows: • its solely-held assets, and its share of any assets held jointly; • its solely-assumed liabilities, and its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; • its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; • its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; • its solely-incurred expenses, and its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
080 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (10) Fixed Assets Fixed assets comprise buildings, equipment and machinery, motor vehicles and other. Fixed assets purchased or constructed are initially recorded at cost. The fixed assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the Restructuring were initially recorded at the valuated amount approved by the relevant authorities managing state-owned assets. Subsequent expenditures for fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets only when it is probable that in future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the Group and the cost of the items can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other subsequent expenditures are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the balance of their costs less estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For those fixed assets being provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is determined based on the net value lessening the impairment recognised over their remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives, estimated residual value ratios and annual depreciation rates of the fixed assets are as follows: Estimated useful lives residual value Estimated ratio % depreciation Annual rate % Buildings 8 to 40 years 5 2.4 to 11.9 Equipment and Machinery 4 to 30 years 3 to 5 3.2 to 24.3 Motor Vehicles 4 to 14 years 5 6.8 to 23.8 Others 5 to 12 years 5 7.9 to 19.0 The estimated useful lives, estimated residual values and depreciation method of the fixed assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at year end. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount (Note 4(16)). The carrying amounts of fixed assets are derecognised when the fixed assets are disposed or no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. When fixed assets are sold, transferred, disposed or damaged, gains or losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amounts of the assets, adjusted by related taxes and expenses, and are recorded in profit or loss in the disposal period.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 081 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (11) Oil and Gas Properties Oil and gas properties include the mineral interests in properties, wells and related facilities arising from oil and gas exploration and production activities. The costs of obtaining the mineral interests in properties are capitalised when they are incurred and are initially recognised at acquisition costs. Exploration license fee, production license fee, rent and other costs for retaining the mineral interests in properties, subsequent to the acquisition of the mineral interests in properties, are charged to profit or loss. The Ministry of Natural Resources in China issues production licenses to applicants on the basis of the reserve reports approved by relevant authorities. The oil and gas properties are amortised at the field level based on the unit of production method except for the mineral interests in unproved properties which are not subjected to depletion. Unit of production rates are based on oil and gas reserves estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities based on the current terms of production licenses. The carrying amount of oil and gas properties is reduced to the recoverable amount when their recoverable amount is lower than their carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the estimated future cash flow expected to be derived from the asset (or asset group, the same below) (Note 4(16)). (12) Construction in Progress Construction in progress is recognised at actual cost. The actual cost comprises construction costs, other necessary costs incurred and the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation to prepare the asset for its intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month.
082 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Oil and gas exploration costs include drilling exploration costs and the non-drilling exploration costs, the successful efforts method is used for the capitalisation of the drilling exploration costs. Drilling exploration costs included in the oil and gas exploration costs are capitalised as wells and related facilities when the wells are completed and economically proved reserves are found. Drilling exploration costs related to the wells without economically proved reserves less the net residual value are recorded in profit or loss. The related drilling exploration costs for the sections of wells with economically proved reserves are capitalised as wells and related facilities, and the costs of other sections are recorded in profit or loss. Drilling exploration costs are temporarily capitalised pending the determination of whether economically proved reserves can be found within one year of the completion of the wells. For wells that are still pending determination of whether economically proved reserves can be found after one year of completion, the related drilling exploration costs remain temporarily capitalised only if sufficient reserves are found in those wells and further exploration activities are required to determine whether they are economically proved reserves or not, and further exploration activities are under way or firmly planned and are about to be implemented. Otherwise the related costs are recorded in profit or loss. If proved reserves are discovered in a well, for which the drilling exploration costs have been expensed previously, no adjustment should be made to the drilling exploration costs that were expensed, while the subsequent drilling exploration costs and costs for completion of the well are capitalised. The non-drilling exploration costs are recorded in profit or loss when incurred. Oil and gas development costs are capitalised as the respective costs of wells and related facilities for oil and gas development based on their intended use. The economically proved reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government supervision regulation before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether the estimate is a deterministic estimate or probabilistic estimate. The Group sells the products or by-products produced before the fixed assets reach the scheduled useable state ,or in the research and development process, which be determined as trial operation sales. Related income and cost is present respectively in financial statements according to the daily activities and non-routine activities. Belongs to daily activities, in “Operating income” and “Cost of sales” project list, belongs to non-routine activities, shown in “Gains on asset disposal” and other projects.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 083 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (13) Intangible Assets and Goodwill Intangible assets include land use rights and patents, etc., and are initially recorded at cost. The intangible assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the Restructuring were initially recorded at the valued amount approved by the relevant authorities managing the state-owned assets. Land use rights are amortised using the straight-line method over 30 to 50 years. If it is impracticable to allocate the amount paid for the purchase of land use rights and buildings between the land use rights and the buildings on a reasonable basis, the entire amount is accounted for as fixed assets. The franchise is initially recorded at actual cost, and amortised using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of gas station. Patent and other intangible assets are initially recorded at actual cost, and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amount of intangible assets is written down to its recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount (Note 4(16)). The estimated useful years and amortisation method of the intangible assets with finite useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. The initial cost of goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree under a business combination not involving entities under common control. Goodwill is not amortised and is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses (Note 4(16)). On disposal of an asset group or a set of asset groups, any attributable goodwill is written off and included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal. (14) Research and Development Research expenditure incurred is recognised as an expense. Costs incurred on development projects shall not be capitalised unless they satisfy the following conditions simultaneously: • In respect of the technology, it is feasible to finish the intangible asset for use or sale; • It is intended by management to finish and use or sell the intangible asset; • It is able to prove that the intangible asset is to generate economic benefits; • With the support of sufficient technologies, financial resources and other resources, it is able to finish the development of the intangible asset, and it is able to use or sell the intangible asset; and • The costs attributable to the development of the intangible asset can be reliably measured.
084 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Costs incurred on development projects not satisfying the above conditions shall be recorded in profit or loss of the current period. Costs incurred on development recorded in profit or loss in previous accounting periods shall not be re-recognised as asset in future accounting periods. Costs incurred on development already capitalised shall be listed as development expenditure in the balance sheet, which shall be transferred to intangible asset from the date when the expected purposes of use are realised. (15) Long-term Prepaid Expenses Long-term prepaid expenses are the expenses that should be borne by current and subsequent periods and should be amortised over more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised using the straight-line method over the expected beneficial periods and are presented at cost less accumulated amortisation. (16) Impairment of Non-current Assets Fixed assets, oil and gas properties except for mineral interests in unproved properties, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful life, long-term equity investments, long-term prepaid expenses and right-of-use assets are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount if the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the estimated future cash flow expected to be derived from the asset. Impairment should be assessed and recognised for each individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash flow. The goodwill, presented separately in financial statements, is allocated to each asset group or set of asset groups, which is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination for the purpose of impairment testing, and should be subject to impairment assessment at least on an annual basis regardless whether there exists any indicators of impairment. Where the impairment assessment indicates that, for the cash-generating unit (that includes the allocated goodwill), the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value, then an impairment loss will be recorded. The mineral interests in unproved properties are tested annually for impairment. If the cost incurred to obtain a single property is significant, the impairment test is performed and the impairment loss is determined on the basis of the single property. If the cost incurred to obtain a single property is not significant and the geological structure features or reserve layer conditions are identical or similar to those of other adjacent properties, impairment tests are performed on the basis of a group of properties that consist of several adjacent mining areas with identical or similar geological structure features or reserve layer conditions. Once an impairment loss of these assets is recognised, it is not allowed to be reversed even if the value can be recovered in subsequent period.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 085 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (17) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of fixed assets and oil and gas properties, which require a substantial period of time for acquisition and construction activities to get ready for their intended use, are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets when capital expenditures and borrowing costs have already incurred and the activities of acquisition and construction necessary to prepare the assets to be ready for their intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the assets are ready for their intended use. Borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised as financial expense. Capitalisation of borrowing costs should be suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset is interrupted abnormally, and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed. For a borrowing taken specifically for the acquisition or construction activities for preparing fixed asset and oil and gas property eligible for capitalisation, the to-be-capitalised amount of interests shall be determined according to the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the unused borrowing fund as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment. Where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition or construction of fixed asset and oil and gas property eligible for capitalisation, the Group shall calculate and determine the to-be-capitalised amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the part of the accumulative asset disbursements in excess of the weighted average asset disbursement for the specifically borrowed fund by the weighted average actual rate of the general borrowing used. The actual rate is the rate used to discount the future cash flow of the borrowing during the expected existing period or the applicable shorter period to the originally recognised amount of the borrowing. (18) Employee Compensation (a) Short-term benefits Employee wages or salaries, bonuses, social security contributions such as medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance and housing fund, measured at the amount incurred or at the applicable benchmarks and rates, are recognised as a liability as the employee provides services, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. (b) Post-employment benefits-Defined Contribution Plans Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, the Group participated in a defined contribution basic pension insurance in the social insurance system established and managed by government organisations. The Group has similar defined contribution plans for its employees in its overseas operations. The Group makes contributions to basic pension insurance plans based on the applicable benchmarks and rates stipulated by the government. Basic pension insurance contributions are recognised as part of the cost of assets or charged to profit or loss as the related services are rendered by the employees.
086 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) In addition, the Group joined the corporate annuity plan approved by relevant PRC authorities. Contribution to the annuity plan is charged to expense as incurred. The Group has no other material obligation for the payment of pension benefits associated with schemes beyond the contributions described above. (19) Government grants Government grants are non-reciprocal transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group except for capital contributions from the government in the capacity as an investor in the Group. A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. Government grants related to assets are grants whose primary condition is that the Group qualifying for them should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. Government grants related to income are grants other than those related to assets. A government grant related to an asset is recognised initially as deferred income and amortised to profit or loss in a reasonable and systematic manner within the useful life of the relevant assets. A grant that compensates the Group for expenses or losses to be incurred in the future is recognised initially as deferred income, and recognised in profit or loss or released to relevant cost in the period in which the expenses or losses are recognised. A grant that compensates the Group for expenses or losses already incurred is recognised to profit or loss or released to related cost immediately. Government grants related to daily activities are recognised in other income or written down the related cost and expenses according to the nature of business activities. Government grants related to non-daily activities are recognised in non-operating income or expenses. (20) Provisions Provisions for product guarantee, quality onerous contracts etc. are recognised when the Group has present obligations, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations, and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the present obligation. Factors surrounding the contingencies such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money shall be taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of provisions. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash flows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 087 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Asset retirement obligations which meet the criteria of provisions are recognised as provisions and the amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure determined in accordance with local conditions and requirements, while a corresponding addition to the related oil and gas properties of an amount equivalent to the provision is also created. This is subsequently depleted as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. Interest expenses from the assets retirement obligations for each period are recognised with the effective interest method during the useful life of the related oil and gas properties. Due to technological progress, legal requirements or changes in the market environment, changes in the provisions caused by changes in the amount of expenditure, estimated time of retirement obligations, discount rate, etc., may occur in fulfilling the retirement obligation. For an increase in provisions, the cost of oil and gas properties will be increased accordingly; for a decrease in provisions, the cost of oil and gas properties will be deducted within the limit of the carrying amount of assets related to decommissioning expenses. If a decrease in the provision exceeds the carrying amount of the oil and gas properties recognised corresponding to the provision, the excess shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the conditions for the recognition of the provisions are not met, the expenditures for the decommissioning, removal and site cleaning will be expensed in profit or loss when occurred. (21) Income tax Current and deferred taxes are recognised in profit or loss, except for income tax arising from business combination or transactions or events which are directly included in owners’ equity (including other comprehensive income). Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates stipulated by the tax law, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. At the balance sheet date, current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities if the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences (temporary differences) arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. The deductible losses, which can be utilised against the future taxable profit in accordance with tax law, are regarded as temporary differences and a deferred tax asset is recognised accordingly. The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are not accounted for the temporary differences resulting from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are determined using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets of the Group are recognised for deductible temporary differences and deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.
088 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, to the extent that, and only to the extent that, it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities which meet the following conditions shall be presented on a net basis: • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are related to the income tax of the same entity within the Group levied by the same authority; • This entity is legally allowed to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. (22) Revenue Recognition Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the Group’s ordinary activities when the inflows result in increase in shareholders’ equity, other than increase relating to contributions from shareholders. Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies the performance obligation in the contract by transferring the control over relevant goods or services to the customers. Where a contract has two or more performance obligations, the Group determines the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction price in proportion to those stand-alone selling prices. The Group recognises as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The stand-alone selling price is the price at which the Group would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Group considers all information that is reasonably available to the entity, maximises the use of observable inputs to estimate the stand-alone selling price. For the contract which the Group grants a customer the option to acquire additional goods or services (such as loyalty points), the Group assesses whether the option provides a material right to the customer. If the option provides a material right, the Group recognises the option as a performance obligation, and recognises revenue when those future goods or services are transferred or when the option expires. If the stand-alone selling price for a customer’s option to acquire additional goods or services is not directly observable, the Group estimates it, taking into account all relevant information, including the difference in the discount that the customer would receive when exercising the option or without exercising the option, and the likelihood that the option will be exercised.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 089 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. To determine the transaction price for contracts in which a customer promises consideration in a form other than cash, the Group measures the non-cash consideration at fair value. If the Group cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the non-cash consideration, the Group measures the consideration indirectly by reference to the stand-alone selling price of the goods or services promised to the customer in exchange for the consideration. The consideration which the Group expects to refund to the customer is recognised as refund liabilities and excluded from transaction price. Where the contract contains a significant financing component, the Group recognises the transaction price at an amount that reflects the price that a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paid cash for those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The difference between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price is amortised using an effective interest method over the contract term. The Group does not adjust the consideration for any effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Group transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Group satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met; or otherwise, a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time: • The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs; • The customer can control the asset created or enhanced during the Group’s performance; • The Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to it and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the Group recognises revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. When the outcome of that performance obligation cannot be measured reasonably, but the Group expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the Group recognises revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation. For performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Group recognises revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer has obtained control of goods or services, the Group considers the following indicators:
090 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) • The Group has a present right to payment for the product or service; • The Group has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer; • The Group has transferred the legal title of the goods or the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer; and • The customer has accepted the goods or services. The Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent, depending on whether it obtains control of the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The Group is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, and recognises revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it has received (or receivable). Otherwise, the Group is an agent, and recognises revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amount of consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration, or is the established amount or proportion. A contract asset is the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss on contract assets (Note 4(7)(f)). Accounts receivable is the Group’s right to consideration that is unconditional (only the passage of time is required). A contract liability is the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The following is the description of accounting policies regarding revenue from the Group’s principal activities: (a) Sales of goods The Group shall recognise revenue when (or as) the customer obtains control of relevant product. Obtaining control of relevant product means that a customer can dominate the use of the product and obtain almost all the economic benefits from it. (b) Rendering of services The Group recognises its revenue from rendering of services on performance progress. Customers simultaneously receive the service as the Group performs its obligation over time and consume the benefits arising from the Group’s performance. Otherwise, a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, the Group shall recognise revenue when (or as) the customer obtains control of revenue service. (c) Loyalty points Under its customer loyalty programme, the Group allocates a portion of the transaction price received to loyalty points that are redeemable against any future purchases of the Group’s goods or services. This allocation is based on the relative stand-alone selling prices. The amount allocated to the loyalty programme is deferred, and is recognised as revenue when loyalty points are redeemed or expire.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 091 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (23) Contract Costs Contract costs are either the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer or the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Group incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Group recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover those costs, unless the expected amortisation period is one year or less from the date of initial recognition of the asset, in which case the costs are expensed when incurred. Other costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred. If the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are not within the scope of inventories or other accounting standards, the Group recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: • The costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Group entered into the contract; • The costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and • The costs are expected to be recovered. Assets recognised for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised for the costs to fulfil a contract (the “assets related to contract costs”) are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortisation period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognised is one year or less. The Group recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to contract costs exceeds: • Remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less • the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services that have not yet been recognised as expenses.
092 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (24) Leases A contract is lease if the lessor conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset to lessee for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: • the contract involves the use of an identified asset. An identified asset may be specified explicitly or implicitly specified in a contract and should be physically distinct, or capacity portion or other portion of an asset that is not physically distinct but it represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby provides the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right throughout the period of use, then the asset is not identified; • the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; • the lessee has the right to direct the use of the asset. For a contract that contains more separate lease components, the lessee and the lessor separate lease components and account for each lease component as a lease separately. For a contract that contains lease and non-lease components, the lessee and the lessor separate lease components from non-lease components. For a contract that contains lease and non-lease components, the lessee allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The lessor allocates the consideration in the contract in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 4(22). (a) The Group as a lessee The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date (less any lease incentives received), any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method. If the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option by the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. Impairment losses of right-of-use assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 4(16).
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 093 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. A constant periodic rate is used to calculate the interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability is charged to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate as incurred. Under the following circumstances after the commencement date, the Group remeasures lease liabilities based on the present value of revised lease payments: • There is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; • There is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments; • There is a change in the assessment of whether the Group will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option, or there is a change in the exercise of the extension or termination option . When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases in profit or loss or as the cost of the assets where appropriate using the straight-line method over the lease term. (b) The Group as a lessor The Group determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset irrespective of whether the legal title to the asset is eventually transferred. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. There are no significant finance leases for the Group. Lease receipts from operating leases is recognised as income using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct costs incurred in respect of the operating lease are initially capitalised and subsequently amortised in profit or loss over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Variable lease payments not included in lease receipts are recognised as income as they are earned.
094 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (25) Dividend Distribution Dividend distribution is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is approved by a resolution of shareholders’ general meeting. (26) Business Combination Accounting treatments for business combinations involving entities under common control and not under common control. A transaction constitutes a business combination when the Group obtains control of one or more entities (or a group of assets or net assets). Business combination is classified as either business combinations involving enterprises under common control or business combinations not involving enterprises under common control. For a transaction not involving enterprises under common control, the acquirer determines whether acquired set of assets constitute a business. The Group may elect to apply the simplified assessment method, the concentration test, to determine whether an acquired set of assets is not a business. If the concentration test is met and the set of assets is determined not to be a business, no further assessment is needed. If the concentration test is not met, the Group shall perform the assessment according to the guidance on the determination of a business. When the set of assets the group acquired does not constitute a business, acquisition costs should be allocated to each identifiable assets and liabilities at their acquisition-date fair values. It is not required to apply the accounting of business combination described as below. (a) Business combination under common control A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. The net assets obtained by the acquirer are measured based on their carrying value in the consolidated financial statement of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the carrying value of the net assets obtained and the carrying value of the consideration is adjusted against the capital surplus. If the capital surplus is not sufficient to be offset, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs incurred directly attributable to the business combination are recorded in profit or loss when incurred. The transaction costs of the equity securities or debt securities issued which are attributable to the business combination are recorded in the initial recognition costs when acquired. The combination date is the date on which one combining entity obtains control of other combining entities.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 095 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (b) Business combination not under common control A business combination involving entities not under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination. The acquisition costs paid and the acquiree’s identifiable asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities, if the recognition criteria are met, are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss. Costs which are directly attributable to the business combination are recorded in profit or loss when incurred. The transaction costs of the equity securities or debt securities issued which are attributable to the business combination are recorded in the initial recognition costs when acquired. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. (27) Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The scope of consolidated financial statements includes the Company and its subsidiaries controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Group has all the following: power over the investees; exposure, or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investees and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. When assessing whether the Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Group and other parties) are considered. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Where a subsidiary was acquired, through a business combination involving entities under common control, the financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements based on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as if the combination had occurred at the date that the ultimate controlling party first obtained control. The opening balances and the comparative figures of the consolidated financial statements are also restated. And their net profit earned before the combination date shall be presented separately in the consolidated income statement. When the accounting policies and accounting periods of subsidiaries are not consistent with those of the Company, the Company will make necessary adjustments to the financial statements of the subsidiaries in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and accounting periods. Where a subsidiary was acquired during the reporting period, through a business combination involving entities not under common control, the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries are included in the scope of consolidation from the date that control commences, based on the fair value of those identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
096 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) All material intercompany balances, transactions and unrealised gains within the Group are eliminated upon consolidation. The portion of the shareholders’ equity or net profit of the subsidiaries that is not attributable to the Company is treated as non-controlling interests and total comprehensive income and presented separately within shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet or within net profit and total comprehensive income in the consolidated income statement. (28) Segment Reporting The Group determines its operating segments based on its organisational structure, management requirements and internal reporting system. On the basis of these operating segments, the Group determines the reporting and disclosure of segmental information. An operating segment refers to a component of the Group that simultaneously meet the following criteria: (1) the component can generate revenue and incur expenses in ordinary activities; (2) the component’s operating results can be regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resource allocation to the component and assess its performance; (3) the Group can obtain financial information relating to the financial position, operating results and cash flows, etc. of the component. When two or more operating segments exhibit similar economic characteristics and meet certain requirements, the Group may aggregate these operating segments into a single operating segment. The Group also discloses total external revenue derived from other regions outside China’s mainland and the total non-current assets located in other regions outside China’s mainland. (29) Related Party If a party has the power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence over another party, or vice versa, or where two or more parties are subject to common control or joint control from another party, they are considered to be related parties. Related parties may be individuals or enterprises. Enterprises with which the Company is under common control only from the State and that have no other related party relationships are not regarded as related parties. In addition to the related parties stated above, the Company determines related parties based on the disclosure requirements of Administrative Procedures on the Information Disclosures of Listed Companies issued by the CSRC.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 097 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (30) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below: (a) Estimation of oil and natural gas reserves Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are key elements in the Group’s investment decision-making process. They are also important elements in testing for impairment related to oil and gas production activities. Changes in proved oil and natural gas reserves, particularly proved developed reserves, will affect unit-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortisation recorded in the income statements for property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas production activities. An increase/reduction in proved developed reserves will decrease/ increase depreciation, depletion and amortisation charges. Proved reserve estimates are subject to revision, either upward or downward, based on new information, such as from development drilling and production activities or from changes in economic factors, including product prices, contract terms, evolution of technology or development plans, etc. (b) Estimation of impairment of fixed assets and oil and gas properties Fixed assets and oil and gas properties are reviewed for possible impairments when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates and judgements such as future price of crude oil and natural gas, refined and chemical products, the production costs, the product mix, production volumes, production profile and the oil and gas reserves. However, the impairment reviews and calculations are based on assumptions that are consistent with the Group’s business plans taking into account current economic conditions. Favourable changes to some assumptions, or not updating assumptions previously made, may allow the Group to avoid the need to impair any assets, whereas unfavourable changes may cause the assets to become impaired. For example, when the assumed future price and production profile of crude oil used for the expected future cash flows are different from the actual price and production profile of crude oil respectively experienced in the future, the Group may either over or under recognise the impairment losses for certain assets. (c) Estimation of asset retirement obligations Provision is recognised for the future decommissioning and restoration of oil and gas properties. The amounts of the provision recognised are the present values of the estimated future expenditures. The estimation of the future expenditures is based on current local conditions and requirements, including legal requirements, technology, price level, etc. In addition to these factors, the present values of these estimated future expenditures are also impacted by the management plan for the decommissioning of oil and gas properties, the estimation of the economic lives of oil and gas properties and estimates of discount rates. Changes in any of these estimates will impact the operating results and the financial position of the Group over the remaining economic lives of the oil and gas properties.
098 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) According to changes in the internal and external environment, accounting standards and company asset retirement expense measures and other relevant regulations, oil and gas field companies recalculate their asset retirement obligations of oil and gas properties based on the latest parameters to more objectively reflect the actual situation of the Company’s asset retirement obligation of oil and gas properties. 5 TAXATION The principal taxes and related tax rates of the Group are presented as below: Types of taxes Tax rate Tax basis and method Value Added Tax (the “VAT”) 13%, 9%, 6% Based on taxable value added amount. Tax payable is calculated using the taxable sales amount multiplied by the applicable tax rate less current period’s deductible VAT input. Resource Tax 6% Based on the revenue from sales of crude oil and natural gas. Consumption Tax Based on quantities Based on sales quantities of taxable products. RMB 1.52 per litre for unleaded gasoline, naphtha, solvent oil and lubricant. RMB 1.2 per litre for diesel and fuel oil. Corporate Income Tax 15% to 82% Based on taxable income. Crude Oil Special Gain Levy 20% to 40% Based on the sales of domestic crude oil at prices higher than a specific level. City Maintenance and Construction Tax 1%, 5% or 7% Based on the actual VAT and consumption tax paid. Educational surcharge 2% or 3% Based on the actual VAT and consumption tax paid. Urban and Township Land Use Tax RMB 0.9~30 Based on the actual land area occupied in each provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. According to “Notice Concerning Import Tax Policies Related to Exploration, Development and Utilization of Energy Resources During the 14th Five-Year Plan Period”(Cai Guan Shui [2021] No.17) jointly issued by Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs, for the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025, the import value-added tax (VAT) of the import link shall be returned in proportion to the projects of cross-border natural gas pipelines and imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving storage and transportation units approved by National Development and Reform Commission. This also includes natural gas imported from the expansion project of the import LNG receiving storage and transportation plant approved by the provincial governments. The import duties of equipment, instruments, zero accessories and special tools shall be exempted to the self-employed projects carrying out oil (natural gas) exploration and development operations in particular areas within the territory of China. The import duties and import value-added tax (VAT) of equipment, instruments, zero accessories and special tools shall be exempted to the Sino-foreign cooperation project carrying out oil (natural gas) exploration and development operations within the winning block of onshore oil (natural gas) approved by the State, projects carrying out oil (natural gas) exploration and development operations in China’s oceans, emergency rescue projects for offshore oil and gas pipelines, and projects carrying out coal seam gas exploration and development operations in China.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 099 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration jointly issued the “Notice on Reduction of Resource Tax Assessed on Shale Gas” (Cai Shui [2018] No.26) on March 29, 2018. Pursuant to such notice, in order to promote the development and utilization of shale gas and effectively increase natural gas supply, from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2021, a reduction of 30% will apply to the resource tax assessed on shale gas (at the prescribed tax rate of 6%).

Financial risk The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. (1) Market risk Market risk is the possibility that changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and the prices of crude oil and gas products will adversely affect the value of assets, liabilities and expected future cash flows. (a) Foreign exchange risk The Group conducts its domestic business primarily in RMB, but maintains a portion of its assets in other currencies to pay for imported crude oil, natural gas, imported equipment and other materials and to meet foreign currency financial liabilities. The Group is exposed to currency risks arising from fluctuations in various foreign currency exchange rates against the RMB. The RMB is not a freely convertible currency and is regulated by the PRC government. Limitations on foreign exchange transactions imposed by the PRC government could cause future exchange rates to vary significantly from current or historical exchange rates. Additionally, the Group operates internationally and foreign exchange risk arises from future acquisitions and commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Certain entities in the Group might use currency derivatives to manage such foreign exchange risk.
142 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (b) Interest rate risk The Group has no significant interest rate risk on interest-bearing assets. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from its borrowings(including debentures payable). The Group’s borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and its borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. However, the exposure to interest rate risk is not material to the Group. A detailed analysis of the Group’s borrowings and debentures payable, together with their respective interest rates and maturity dates, is included in Note 34 and 35. (c) Price risk The Group is engaged in a wide range of oil and gas products-related activities. Prices of oil and gas products are affected by a wide range of global and domestic factors which are beyond the control of the Group. The fluctuations in such prices may have favourable or unfavourable impacts on the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including commodity futures, commodity swaps and commodity options, to hedge some price risks efficiently. As at June 30, 2022, the Group had certain commodity contracts of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products designated as hedges. As at June 30, 2022, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is derivative financial assets of 36,263 (December 31, 2021: 3,913) and derivative financial liabilities of 39,213 (December 31, 2021: 3,881). As at June 30, 2022, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of USD 10 per barrel in basic price of derivative financial instruments, with all other variables held constant, would impact the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which would increase/decrease the Group’s profit for the year by approximately 3,102 (December 31, 2021: increase/decrease 2,104), and resulting in an increase/decrease of approximately 556 in other comprehensive income of the Group (December 31, 2021: Nil).This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in prices had occurred at the balance sheet date and the change was applied to the Group’s derivative financial instruments at that date with exposure to commodity price risk. (2) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash at bank and on hand, credit exposure to customers with outstanding receivable balances, other receivables and long-term recievables. A substantial portion of the Group’s cash at bank and on hand are placed with the major state-owned banks and financial institutions in China and management believes that the credit risk is low. The Group performs ongoing assessment of the credit quality of its customers, and sets appropriate credit limits taking into account the financial position and past history of defaults of customers. The aging analysis of accounts receivable and related provision for bad debts are presented in Note 9.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 143 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) The carrying amounts of cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable, other receivables and receivables financing included in the consolidated balance sheet represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. (3) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. In managing its liquidity risk, the Group has access to funding at market rates through equity and debt markets, including using undrawn committed borrowing facilities to meet foreseeable borrowing requirements. Given the low level of gearing and continued access to funding, the Group believes that its liquidity risk is not material. Analysis of the Group’s long-term borrowings, debentures payable and lease liabilities based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity dates are presented in Note 34, 35 and 20. 2. Capital management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, optimise returns for equity holders and to minimise its cost of capital. In meeting its objectives of managing capital, the Group may issue new shares, adjust its debt levels or the mix between short-term and long-term borrowings. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio which is calculated as interest-bearing borrowings/ (interest-bearing borrowings + total equity), interest-bearing borrowings include short-term and long-term borrowings, debentures payable. The gearing ratio at June 30, 2022 is 18.33% (December 31, 2021: 19.46%). 3. Fair value estimation The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are disclosed in the respective accounting policies. The carrying amounts of the following financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value as all of them are short-term in nature: cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable , other receivables, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables and short-term borrowings. The fair values of fixed rate long-term borrowings are likely to be different from their respective carrying amounts. Analysis of the fair values and carrying amounts of long-term borrowings and debentures payable are presented in Note 34 and Note 35, respectively.
144 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 INTERIM REPORT PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) The Group’s investments in derivative financial instruments, receivables financing and other equity instruments are measured at fair value on the balance sheet date. The fair value of derivative financial instruments are mainly categorised into Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, which are based on the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as inputs used in the valuation techniques, or the inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Receivables financing are mainly categorised into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are based on that Receivables financing are mainly short-term bills of acceptance issued by banks, their fair values approximate the face values of the bills. The investments in other equity instruments are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The investments in other equity instruments are mainly categorised into Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, which are based on the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as inputs used in the valuation techniques. As of June 30, 2022, financial assets continuing to be measured at fair value are listed in three levels as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets Derivative financial assets— Derivative financial assets 616 35,647—36,263 Receivables financing— Receivables financing — 6,183 6,183 Investments in other equity instruments— Other equity instruments 687—256 943 Total 1,303 35,647 6,439 43,389 As of June 30, 2022, financial liabilities continuing to be measured at fair value are listed in three levels as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial liabilities Derivative financial liabilities— Derivative financial liabilities 5,697 33,516—39,213

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period. The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 included herein are unaudited but reflect, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, all adjustments (which generally includes only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to properly prepare the interim financial statements, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Costs that are incurred unevenly during the financial year are accrued or deferred in the interim financial statements only if it would be also appropriate to accrue or defer such costs at the end of the financial year. 3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The matters described below are considered to be the most critical in understanding the estimates and judgements that are involved in preparing the Group’s interim financial statements: The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements. (a) Estimation of oil and gas reserves Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are key elements in the Group’s investment decision-making process. They are also important elements in testing impairment of property, plant and equipment (Note 3(b)). Changes in proved oil and gas reserves, particularly proved developed reserves, will affect unit-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortisation recorded in the Group’s interim financial statements for property, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas production activities. An increase/reduction in proved developed reserves will decrease/ increase depreciation, depletion and amortisation charges. Proved oil and gas reserves estimates are subject to revision, either upward or downward, based on new information, such as from development drilling and production activities or from changes in economic factors, including product prices, contract terms, evolution of technology or development plans, etc.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 161 PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended June 30, 2022 (All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated) (b) Estimation of impairment of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties, are reviewed for possible impairments when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates and judgements such as the future price of crude oil, natural gas, refined and chemical products, the operation costs, the product mix, production volumes, production profile and the oil and gas reserves. The impairment reviews and calculations are based on assumptions that are consistent with the Group’s business plans taking into account current economic conditions. Favourable changes to some assumptions, may allow the Group to avoid the need to impair any assets or make it necessary to reverse an impairment loss recognised in prior periods, whereas unfavourable changes may cause the assets to become impaired. For example, when the assumed future price and production profile of crude oil used for the expected future cash flows are different from the actual price and production profile of crude oil respectively experienced in future, the Group may either over or under recognise the impairment losses for certain assets. (c) Estimation of asset retirement obligations Provision is recognised for the future decommissioning and restoration of oil and gas properties. The amount of the provision recognised is the present values of the estimated future expenditures. The estimation of the future expenditures is based on current local conditions and requirements, including legal requirements, technology, price levels, etc. In addition to these factors, the present values of these estimated future expenditures are also impacted by the management plan for the decommissioning of oil and gas properties, the estimation of the economic lives of oil and gas properties and estimates of discount rates. Changes in any of these estimates will impact the operating results and the financial position of the Group over the remaining economic lives of the oil and gas properties. According to changes in the internal and external environment, accounting standards and Group asset retirement expense measures and other relevant regulations, oil and gas field companies recalculate their asset retirement obligations of oil and gas properties based on the latest parameters to more objectively reflect the actual situation of the Group’s asset retirement obligation of oil and gas properties.

The carrying amounts of the following financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value as all of them are short-term in nature: cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with maturities over three months but within one year, accounts receivable, other receivables, trade payables, other payables and short-term borrowings. The fair values of fixed rate long-term borrowings are likely to be different from their respective carrying amounts. Analysis of the fair values and carrying amounts of long-term borrowings is presented in Note 14. The Group’s investments in derivative financial instruments and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) are measured at fair value on the financial position date The fair value of derivative financial instruments are mainly categorised into Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, which are based on the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as inputs used in the valuation techniques, or the inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Trade accounts receivable and bills receivable in FVOCI are mainly categorised into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are based on that trade accounts receivable and bills receivable are mainly short-term bills of acceptance issued by banks, their fair values approximate the face values of the bills. The equity investments in FVOCI that are not held for trading are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of such equity investments are mainly categorised into Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, which are based on the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as inputs used in the valuation techniques. As of June 30, 2022, financial assets and financial liabilities continuing to be measured at fair value are listed as follows in three levels: Level1 Level2 Level3 Total Assets Derivative financial assets: –Derivative financial assets 616 35,647—36,263 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: –Bills receivable — 6,183 6,183 –Other investments 687—249 936 1,303 35,647 6,432 43,382 Liabilities Derivative financial liabilities: –Derivative financial liabilities 5,697 33,516—39,213 5,697 33,516—39,213
