PetroChina DIRECTORS’ REPORT 013
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Board of the Company is pleased to present the
Directors’ report.
1. Review of Operating Results
In the first half of
2015, despite the challenging environment brought about by the weak recovery of the international economy, the intensified downward pressure on the domestic economy, the fluctuation of international oil prices at low levels, and the weak market
demand for oil and gas, the Group continued to implement its guidelines of quality, profitability and sustainable development, adhered to reform and innovation as driving forces, focused on the development of its principal oil and gas business, and
organised production and operation based on the principle of improving quality and efficiency. The Group also vigorously implemented a series of measures such as broadening source of income, reducing costs and improving efficiency. As a result, the
Group achieved stable, safe and controllable production and operation, and the operating results met the expectations.
(1) Market Review
Crude Oil Market
In the first half of 2015, the supply in the world’s oil market was
sufficient in general, the international oil prices had generally fluctuated at low levels. The price spread between West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil and other benchmark oil prices continued to become narrower. The average price
for North Sea Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil was US$57.84 per barrel and US$53.25 per barrel respectively, representing a decrease of 46.9% and 47.2% as compared with the same period in 2014, respectively.
Refined Products Market
In the first half of 2015, the domestic market demand for refined
products showed a tendency to grow at a low to medium rates, the demand for gasoline kept growing relatively fast, and the demand for diesel continued to shrink. The domestic refining capacity continued to improve and market resources were generally
sufficient, with a relatively excessive resource of diesel. According to the relevant information, in the first half of 2015, the quantity of domestically processed crude oil amounted to 235.34 million tons, representing an increase of 3.6% as
compared with the same period in 2014, and the domestic output of refined products amounted to 148.61 million tons, representing an increase of 5.0% as compared with the same period in 2014. The consumption of refined products amounted to 135.68
million tons, representing an increase of 3.2% as compared with the same period in 2014, among which, the consumption of gasoline increased by 8.9% and the consumption of diesel dropped by 1.6%. The inventory of refined products increased by 2.39
million tons as compared with the same period in 2014 and was at a relatively high level. The PRC government made nine adjustments to the prices of domestic gasoline and diesel products, and the prices of reference gasoline and diesel products
decreased, in aggregate, by RMB460 per ton and RMB385 per ton, respectively. The price trend of domestic refined products was broadly in line with that of oil prices in the international markets.
Chemical Products Market
In the first half of 2015, as a result of the relatively low social
inventory of chemical products and the concentrated overhaul of domestic chemical facilities,
014 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2015 INTERIM REPORT
the
demand for main chemical products resumed growth and the profitability of the chemical sector improved gradually, leading to more interest in the processing of domestic chemical products. The supply and demand in the market was generally balanced.
In the first half of 2015, the domestic chemical market performance showed a V-shaped trend. The prices of main chemical products moved weakly to the bottom in the first quarter and then fluctuated at a high level in the second quarter.
Natural Gas Market
In the first half of 2015, domestic natural gas output and sales kept
increasing while the overall growth slowed down significantly. According to relevant information, the domestic output of natural gas in the first half of 2015 was 65.6 billion cubic metres, representing an increase of 3.8% as compared with the same
period in 2014. Imports of natural gas amounted to 29.3 billion cubic metres, representing an increase of 3.5% as compared with the same period in 2014. The apparent consumption of natural gas was 90.6 billion cubic metres, representing an increase
of 2.1% as compared with the same period in 2014.
(2) Business Review
Exploration and Production
Domestic Exploration Operations
In the first half of 2015, the Group enjoyed good momentum in its oil and gas exploration operations, put emphasis on key exploration areas and key projects, and strived to obtain
available large-scale reserves and economically recoverable reserves. In terms of oil exploration, large-scale reserves at the levels of hundred million tons or ten million tons were found at Jiyuan and Zhenbei of Erdos, Junggar Basin and Tarim
Basin as well as other regions. In terms of natural gas exploration, a number of large-scale reserves at the levels of hundred billion cubic metres were found in the east region and Sulige of Erdos, Sichuan Basin and Tarim Basin as well as other
regions. Important progress was also made in the exploration of tight oil.
PetroChina DIRECTORS’ REPORT 015
Domestic
Development and Production Operations
In the first half of 2015, in its development of oil and gas fields, the Group put emphasis on efficient production,
controlled the scale and pace of development, pushed forward the normalised fine water injection projects and the secondary development projects, continued to make significant on-site development experiments, and carried out the building of key
production capacity in an orderly way, as a result of which the overall development profitability kept improving. The Group steadily pushed forward the development of unconventional gas, and the shale gas capacity building projects in Changning,
Weiyuan and Zhaotong progressed as scheduled. The output from the coal bed gas projects continued to increase. In the first half of 2015, the crude oil output from domestic operations amounted to 402.1 million barrels, representing a decrease of
1.8% as compared with the same period in 2014, and the marketable natural gas output from domestic operations amounted to 1,445.7 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 1.1% as compared with the same period in 2014. The oil and natural gas
equivalent output from domestic operations amounted to 643.1 million barrels, representing a decrease of 0.7% as compared with the same period in 2014.
Overseas
Oil and Gas Operations
In the first half of 2015, the Group strengthened its risk control of the overseas oil and gas operations. Based on the sensitivity of
various contracting models to oil prices, the Group formulated operational strategies for various projects on a differentiated basis, and actively optimised its assets structure. The Group promoted the secondary development of oil fields with great
efforts, and the Rumaila project in Iraq and other projects kept improving their outputs and efficiency. In the first half of 2015, the oil and natural gas equivalent output from overseas operations amounted to 92.8 million barrels, representing an
increase of 38.3% as compared with the same period in 2014 and accounting for 12.6% of the total oil and natural gas equivalent output of the Group.

half of 2015, the Group recorded a crude oil output of 477.5 million barrels, representing an increase of 2.6% as compared with the same period in 2014, a marketable natural gas output of 1,549.6 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 3.6%
as compared with the same period in 2014, and an oil and natural gas equivalent output of 735.9 million barrels, representing an increase of 2.9% as compared with the same period in 2014.

2. Management Discussion and Analysis
(1) The financial data set out below is extracted from
the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group prepared under IFRS
Consolidated Operating Results
In the first half of 2015, the Group achieved a turnover of RMB877,624 million, representing a decrease
018 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2015 INTERIM REPORT
of
23.9% as compared with the same period in 2014. Profit attributable to owners of the Company was RMB25,406 million, representing a decrease of 62.7% as compared with the same period in 2014. Basic earnings per share were RMB0.14, representing a
decrease of RMB0.23 as compared with the same period in 2014.
Turnover Turnover decreased by 23.9% to RMB877,624 million for the first half of 2015 from
RMB1,153,968 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the combined impact of the decrease in the prices of crude oil, refined products and
other main products and the increase in the sales volume of crude oil, natural gas, gasoline and other products. The table below sets out the external sales volume and average realised prices for the major products sold by the Group in the first
half of 2015 and 2014 and their respective percentages of change during these periods:

Operating Expenses Operating expenses decreased by 21.0% to RMB830,509 million for the first
half of 2015 from RMB1,050,888 million for the first half of 2014, of which:
Purchases, Services and Other Purchases, services and other decreased by 28.8% to
RMB528,022 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB741,629 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to (i) decreases in purchase costs as a result of oil price drop, (ii) decreases in purchase costs arising from
natural gas imports as a result of decrease in both quantity and price of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) imports, and (iii) decrease in certain purchase costs as a result of optimised production and operation.
Employee Compensation Costs Employee compensation costs for the first half of 2015 were RMB57,290 million, representing a decrease of 0.4% from RMB57,514 million for the first half
of 2014. This was primarily due to the fact that the Group kept improving its performance-based compensation system, strictly controlled the total number of employees and strengthened its control of labour costs.
Exploration Expenses Exploration expenses decreased by 11.7% to RMB12,399 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB14,034 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily
due to the fact that the Group optimised its exploration deployment and cut down exploration costs, which resulted in a decrease in exploration expenses.
PetroChina DIRECTORS’ REPORT 019
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortisation Depreciation, depletion and amortisation increased by 8.4% to RMB91,883 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB84,749
million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the increase in the average carrying value of fixed assets and the average net book value of oil and gas properties, causing an increase in depreciation and depletion accordingly. The
Group strictly controlled capital expenditures and vigorously optimised its assets structure, effectively curbing the tendency of significant increase in depreciation, depletion and amortisation.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3.2% to RMB37,492 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB36,318 million
for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the increase in transportation costs as a result of business expansion and the increase in costs associated with the overhauls, maintenance and repairs of refinery facilities that were scheduled
in accordance with production needs.
Taxes other than Income Taxes Taxes other than income taxes decreased by 12.4% to RMB105,282 million for the first half of
2015 from RMB120,120 million for the first half of 2014, of which, as a result of the drop in crude oil price and a higher threshold for crude oil special gain levy, the Group did not incur crude oil special gain levy and the crude oil special gain
levy in the first half of 2015 decreased by RMB35,976 million as compared with the same period in 2014, the resource tax decreased to RMB9,716 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB13,422 million for the first half of 2014, representing a
decrease by RMB3,706 million as compared with the same period in 2014, and as a result of the adjustment made to the consumption tax policy, the Group’s consumption tax for the first half of 2015 increased to RMB76,165 million from RMB49,543
million for the first half of 2014, representing an increase by RMB26,622 million as compared with the same period in 2014.
Other Income, Net Other income, net,
decreased by RMB1,617 million to RMB1,859 million for the first half of 2015, compared with other income, net, of RMB3,476 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in the confirmed VAT refunding for imported natural
gas in the reporting period.
Profit from Operations Profit from operations was RMB47,115 million for the first half of 2015, representing a decrease of 54.3% from
RMB103,080 million for the first half of 2014.
Net Exchange Loss Net exchange loss decreased by RMB1,644 million to RMB267 million for the first half of 2015 from
RMB1,911 million for the first half of 2014. This was mainly due to the significant depreciation of Kazakhstan Tenge during the same period in 2014.
Net Interest
Expenses Net interest expenses increased by 1.5% to RMB11,690 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB11,514 million for the first half of 2014. The increase was mainly due to the fact that the People’s Bank of China lowered the benchmark
deposit rate three times in the first half of 2015, resulting in a decrease in interest income.
Profit before Income Tax Expense Profit before income tax expense
was RMB38,437 million for the first half of 2015, representing a decrease of 59.8% from RMB95,717 million for the first half of 2014.
Income Tax Expense Income tax
expense decreased by 54.5% to RMB9,846 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB21,662 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in the taxable profit.
Profit for the period Profit amounted to RMB28,591 million for the first half of 2015, representing a decrease of 61.4% from RMB74,055 million for the first half of 2014.
020 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2015 INTERIM REPORT
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests Profit attributable to non-controlling interests was RMB3,185 million for the first half of 2015, representing a
decrease of 46.3% from RMB5,931 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in the profits of certain overseas subsidiaries of the Group caused by the drop of crude oil price.
Profit attributable to owners of the Company Profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to RMB25,406 million for the first half of 2015, representing a decrease of 62.7%
from RMB68,124 million for the first half of 2014.
Segment Results Exploration and Production
Turnover The turnover of the Exploration and Production segment for the first half of 2015 was RMB245,878 million, representing a decrease of 38.4% from RMB399,366 million for the
first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the combined impact of the drop of crude oil price and the increase in sales volume of natural gas. The average realised crude oil price in the first half of 2015 was US$52.10 per barrel, representing a
decrease of 48.0% from US$100.14 per barrel for the first half of 2014.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the Exploration and Production segment decreased
by 28.3% to RMB212,961 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB297,128 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in the purchase costs for importing crude oil and the decrease in such taxes and levies as crude oil
special gain levy and resource tax.
The Group continued to tighten cost controls. In the first half of 2015, the oil and gas lifting cost was US$12.61 per barrel,
representing a decrease of 2.8% from US$12.97 per barrel in the first half of 2014.
Profit from Operations In the first half of 2015, in the Exploration and
Production segment, the Group continued to transform its mode of development, placed emphasis on technology innovation for better results, and strengthened its control of investment. However, due to the adverse impact caused by the significant drop
in international crude oil prices, the Group realised an operating profit of RMB32,917 million, representing a decrease of 67.8% from RMB102,238 million for the first half of 2014. The Exploration and Production segment remained a key profit
contributor to the Group.
Refining and Chemicals
Turnover The turnover of the
Refining and Chemicals segment for the first half of 2015 was RMB334,439 million, representing a decrease of 21.6% from RMB426,545 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in the prices of certain refining and
chemical products under market influence.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the Refining and Chemicals segment decreased by 23.3% to RMB329,782 million for
the first half of 2015 from RMB429,980 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in the raw material costs of products.
In the
first half of 2015, the cash processing cost of refineries was RMB175.64 per ton, representing an increase of 4.6% as compared with RMB167.86 per ton in the same period in 2014. This was primarily due to the increase in fuel and power costs, which
was caused by the upgrade of the quality of diesel.
Profit from Operations In the first half of 2015, by placing emphasis on the principles of market orientation
and profitability, strengthening production and operation analysis, keeping optimising the structure of products and intensifying control of costs and expenses, the Refining

in the same period in 2014. The chemical operations incurred an operating loss of RMB893 million, representing a decrease in operating loss by RMB6,897 million as compared with the operating loss of RMB7,790 million for the same period in 2014.
Marketing
Turnover The turnover of the Marketing segment
decreased by 27.5% to RMB713,955 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB984,685 million for the first half of 2014, which was primarily due to the combined impact of a decrease
in refined product prices and an increase in sales volume.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the Marketing segment decreased by 27.2% to RMB711,172 million
for the first half of 2015 from RMB976,539 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to a decrease in the expenses relating to the purchase of refined products from external suppliers.
Profit from Operations In the first half of 2015, the domestic business of the Marketing segment significantly increased its sales volume by developing the market through multiple
channels and strengthening the sales of products with high profits. The international trading
022 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2015 INTERIM REPORT
operations has effectively controlled market risks, and consistently improved the operation efficiency. Yet, due to the adverse impact caused by the significant
drop of refined product prices, the slowdown in the growth of demand in the domestic refined product market and the fiercer competition in the market, the Marketing segment achieved an operating profit of RMB2,783 million for the first half of 2015,
representing a decrease of 65.8% from RMB8,146 million for the first half of 2014.
Natural Gas and Pipeline
Turnover The turnover of the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment increased by 3.1% to RMB139,212 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB134,963 million for the first half of 2014,
which was primarily due to the increase in the sales volume of natural gas.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment decreased
by 5.0% to RMB124,345 million for the first half of 2015 from RMB130,880 million for the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the decrease in natural gas import costs.
Profit from Operations In the first half of 2015, the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment optimised resources allocation, reduced comprehensive purchase costs, intensified marketing
efforts, and improved the operating efficiency and comprehensive results of the business chain, resulting in an operating profit of RMB14,867 million, which represented an increase of 264.1% from RMB4,083 million for the first half of 2014. In the
first half of 2015, the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment recorded a loss of RMB10,626 million on the sales of imported natural gas and LNG, representing a decrease in loss of RMB9,734 million as compared with the same period
in 2014. Such losses include a loss of RMB5,231 million for the sales of 14.625 billion cubic metres of natural gas imported from Central Asia, a loss of RMB5,602 million for the
sales of 3.250 billion cubic metres of imported LNG, and a loss of RMB1,738 million for the sales of 1.990 billion cubic metres of natural gas imported from Burma.
In the first half of 2015, the Group’s international operations(note) achieved a turnover of RMB280,504 million. Profit before income tax expense of overseas

3. Business Prospects for the Second Half of the Year
The mild recovery of the global economy will remain highly uncertain in the second half of 2015 and the supply in the international oil market will continue to be sufficient. The
global oil price is likely to keep fluctuating at a low level. It is expected that the domestic economy will continue to develop at a reasonable pace, while downward pressure on the economy still exists. China’s reform of exchange rate
formation mechanism will keep improving the exchange rate marketisation of Renminbi. The growth of domestic demand for oil and gas will slow down and the market competition will get tougher. Whilst the operational environment remains complex and
uncertain, the Group will enhance its analysis and assessment of the situation, grasp favourable opportunities arising from the State’s major strategies such as “One Belt One Road”, focus on
improving quality and efficiency, endeavour to promote the development of its main business of oil and gas, coordinate and optimise its production and operations, continue to
implement measures to broaden source of income, reduce costs and improve efficiency, keep emphasising the concept of innovation-driven and strive to accomplish its production and operation targets for the year and facilitate the steady development
of the Group.
In respect of exploration and production, the Group will continue to strengthen its efforts for oil and gas exploration, place emphasis on meticulous
exploration at key zones and pre-exploration and venture exploration at key areas and key basins, promote the exploration of tight oil and expand large-scale economically recoverable
028 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2015 INTERIM REPORT
reserves and transform them into available reserves. The Group will organise its crude oil production in a scientific way based on profitability contribution,
strengthen the optimisation of development plans, technical support and dynamic tracking. The development of natural gas will act as the profit growth points and intensify the graded and dynamic regulation of major gas areas, key gas fields and
high-yield wells, with a view to maintain the steady and balanced development of its oil and gas production.
In respect of refining and chemicals operations, the
Group will speed up its adjustments based on market and capacity, optimise its allocation of crude oil resources, process route and products structure, reasonably arrange the processing load, increase its production of marketable and
high-profitability products, and strive to increase profits. The Group will promote such key projects as Yunnan Petrochemical in an orderly manner. The Group will also accelerate the development of the upgrade project of the quality of refined oil
and steadily carry out the updating of gasoline and diesel quality to the national V standard.
In respect of the sales of refined products, the Group will keep
optimising its sales structure, the flow of recourses and its inventory operation, strengthen the core position of its retail operations, increase sales volume from oil guns and sales volume of high value-added products, intensify the integrated
marketing of refined oil, fuel cards, unconventional businesses and lubricants and strive to improve the overall profitability. The Group will also innovate on business models, strengthen joint ventures
and cooperation, develop end sales network in a flexible way, speed up its deployment in markets with quality and high profit and improve its market control.
In respect of natural gas and pipelines operations, the Group will effectively promote market development, strengthen the management of new users, optimise the structure of areas
and users, increase the percentage of high-end and high-profitability markets and implement a proactive season-based pricing strategy and strive to improve the profitability of natural gas sales. The Group will also improve the planning of the
pipelines operations, complete and put into operation a batch of key projects such as the East Section of the Third West-East Gas Pipeline.
In respect of
international operations, the Group will aim at quality development, further optimise development plans, business structure and regional deployment based on projected oil price and prospects of development, continue to improve the profitability of
major oil and gas production areas and key projects, and strengthen joint ventures and cooperation so as to enhance the overall profitability. The Group will further strengthen the economic evaluation and risk assessment mechanism for key projects,
effectively control various risks. For international trade, the Group will continue to improve its overseas oil and gas operation centres and global marketing network, further optimise channels of recourses and pricing mechanism and enhance the
quality and profitability of trade operations.

During the reporting period, the normal course of business of the Company has not been affected. The Company intends to vigorously contest the appeal to protect the legitimate
rights and interests of the Company.

execution of the Agreement, CNPC did not make use of the business opportunity that competed or was likely to compete with the principal business of the Company strictly in accordance with the Agreement. Nevertheless, such industry competition
primarily concentrated on oil and gas exploration and development operations at certain overseas countries and regions in which the resources owned by CNPC were insufficient or uncertain.
In connection with matters described above, CNPC issued a Letter of Undertaking to the Company on June 20, 2014 and made additional undertakings that: (1) within ten years from the
date of the Letter of Undertaking, after taking into account of political, economic and other factors, the Company may request CNPC to sell offshore oil and gas assets which remain in possession by CNPC as at the date of the Letter of Undertaking;
(2) for business opportunities relating to investment in offshore oil and gas assets after the date of the Letter of Undertaking, the relevant prior approval procedure of the Company shall be initiated strictly in accordance with the Agreement.
Subject to the applicable laws, contractual agreements and procedure requirements, CNPC will sell to the Company offshore oil and gas assets as described in items (1) and (2) above at the request of the Company.
Save for the above additional undertakings, undertakings made by CNPC in the Agreement remain unchanged.

PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless
otherwise stated)
(7) Financial Instruments
(a) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, available-for-sale
financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification depends on the Group’s intention and the ability to hold the financial assets. The Group has principally receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and limited
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The detailed accounting policies for receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss held by the Group are set out below:
(i) Receivables
Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market, including accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables and cash at bank and on hand.
(ii)
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative that are either designated in this category at initial recognition or
not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in other current assets on the balance sheet if they are intended to be sold within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss are mainly financial assets held for the purpose of selling in the short term. They are presented as financial assets held for trading on the balance sheet. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are
designated as hedges.
(iv) Recognition and measurement
Financial assets are
recognised at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Related transaction costs of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in profit or loss when
acquired. Related transaction costs of receivables and available-for-sale financial assets are recognised into the initial recognition costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired
or all substantial risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the transferee.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and
available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost.
Receivables are stated at amortised costs using the effective interest method.
PetroChina FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 053
PETROCHINA
COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated)
Changes in the fair values of available-for-sale financial assets are recorded into other comprehensive income except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses
arising from the transaction of monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currencies. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative changes in fair value previously recognised in equity will be recognised in profit or loss. The
interest of the available-for-sale debt instruments calculated using the effective interest method is recognised as investment income. The cash dividends declared by the investee on available-for-sale investments in equity instruments are recognised
as investment income, which is recognised in profit or loss for the period.
(v) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses the carrying amount of receivables and available-for-sale financial assets at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is
impaired, an impairment provision shall be made.
If a financial asset carried at amortised cost is impaired, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If there is objective evidence that can prove the value of such financial asset has been
recovered, and that it is related to events occurring subsequent to the recognition of impairment, the previously recognised impairment losses shall be reversed and the amount of the reversal will be recognised in the income statement.
When there is objective evidence that available-for-sale financial assets is impaired, the cumulative losses that have been recognised in equity as a result of the decline in the
fair value shall be removed from equity and recognised as impairment losses in the income statement. For an investment in debt instrument classified as available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognised, if in a subsequent period the
fair value increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment losses recognition, the previously recognised impairment losses shall be reversed, and recognised in profit or loss. For an investment in an
equity instrument classified as available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognised, any subsequent increases in its fair value shall be directly recognised in other comprehensive income. The impairment loss on an investment in
unquoted equity instrument whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is not reversed.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial
liabilities. Financial liabilities of the Group primarily comprise payables, loans and debentures payable classified as other financial liabilities.
Payables,
including accounts payable, other payables, etc. are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method.
Loans and debentures payables are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method.
054 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2015 INTERIM REPORT
PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless
otherwise stated)
Other financial liabilities with terms of one year or less than one year are presented as current liabilities; other financial liabilities with
terms more than one year but due within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date are presented as current portion of non-current liabilities; others are presented as non-current liabilities.
A financial liability may not be derecognised, in all or in part, until the present obligations of financial liabilities are all, or partly, dissolved. The difference between the
carrying amount of the financial liability at the point of derecognition and the consideration paid shall be included in profit or loss.
(c) 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.
(8) Inventories
Inventories include crude oil and other raw materials, work in progress,
finished goods and turnover materials, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
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. Turnover materials 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
cost to completion and estimated selling expenses and related taxes.
The Group adopts perpetual inventory system.

(All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated)
(9) Long-term Equity Investments
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 cost of the investment on the acquisition date. For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination not under common control, the acquisition costs paid shall be
treated as the cost of the investment on acquisition date.
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. 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.
056 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2015 INTERIM REPORT
PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless
otherwise stated)
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.
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 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.
(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.
(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.
PetroChina FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 057
PETROCHINA
COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated)
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 Estimated residual value ratio % Annual depreciation 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
Other 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.
(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 Land and Resources in China issues production
licenses to applicants on the basis of the reserve reports approved by relevant authorities.
058 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2015 INTERIM REPORT
PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless
otherwise stated)
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 other than the mineral interests in unproved properties is reduced to the recoverable amount when their recoverable amount is lower
than their carrying amount. The carrying amount of the mineral interests in unproved properties is reduced to the fair value when their fair value is lower than their carrying amount (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.
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 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.

(13) Intangible Assets
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.
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.
(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.
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.

(All amounts in RMB millions unless

(15) Long-term Prepaid Expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses
include advance lease payments and other prepaid 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, intangible assets with finite useful life and long-term equity investments 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 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.
(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 expensed. 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.
PetroChina FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 061
PETROCHINA

UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless otherwise stated)
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.
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) 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.
062 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2015 INTERIM REPORT
PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless
otherwise stated)
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.
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.
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.
(20) Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities
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). 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.
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.
(21) Revenue Recognition
The amount of revenue is determined in accordance
with the fair value of the contractual consideration received or receivable for the sales of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of discounts and returns.
Revenue is recognised when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below:
(a) Sales of goods
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when the Group has transferred to
the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, and retains neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods sold, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the Group and related revenue and cost can be measured reliably.
(b) Rendering of services
The Group recognises its revenue from rendering of services under the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue is recognised based on the
costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total estimated costs to be incurred.
(c) Transfer of the assets use rights
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
Revenue from operating lease is recognised using the straight-line method over the period of the lease.
(22) Leases
Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of assets are classified as finance lease; other leases are operating leases. The Group has no significant finance lease.
Payments made under operating
leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(23) Dividend Distribution
Dividend distribution is
recognised as a liability in the period in which it is approved by a resolution of shareholders’ general meeting.
(24) Business Combination
(a) Business combination under common control
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.
(b) Business combination not under common
control
The acquisition costs paid and the identifiable net assets acquired by the acquirer 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.
(25) 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 de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Subsidiaries acquired
through business combination under common control are consolidated from the day when they are under common control with the Company of the ultimate controlling party, 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. The financial statements of the subsidiaries acquired from the business combination not under common control are adjusted on the basis
of the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date when preparing the consolidated financial statements.
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.
(26) 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 mainland China and the total
non-current assets located in other regions outside mainland China.
(27) 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:

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(All amounts in RMB millions unless

(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 an important element in testing for impairment. 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. A reduction in proved developed reserves will
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, refined and chemical products and the production profile. 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.
(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 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.

The
consolidated net profit for the six months under IFRS and CAS were RMB 28,591 and RMB 28,589 respectively, with a difference of RMB 2; the consolidated shareholders’ equity for the six months under IFRS and CAS were RMB 1,323,039 and RMB
1,323,017 respectively, with a difference of RMB 22. These differences under the different accounting standards were primarily due to the revaluation for assets other than fixed assets and oil and gas properties revalued in 1999.
During the Restructuring in 1999, a valuation was carried out in 1999 for assets and liabilities injected by CNPC. Valuation results other than fixed assets and oil and gas
properties were not recognised in the financial statements prepared under IFRS.

(Amounts in millions unless otherwise stated)
1 ORGANISATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
PetroChina Company Limited (the “Company”) was established as a joint stock company with limited liability on November 5, 1999 by 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. 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 and production and marketing of crude oil and natural gas; (ii) the refining of crude oil and petroleum products, production and marketing of primary petrochemical products, derivative petrochemical
products and other chemical products; (iii) the marketing of refined products and trading business; and (iv) the transmission of natural gas, crude oil and refined products and the sale of natural gas (Note 15).
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited consolidated interim condensed
financial statements (“interim financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”).
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 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, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2015.
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.

(Amounts in millions unless otherwise stated)
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.
(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 an important element in testing for impairment.
Changes in proved oil and natural gas reserves, particularly proved developed reserves, will affect unit-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortisation recorded in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for property, plant and
equipment related to oil and gas production activities. A reduction in proved developed reserves will 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 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, refined and chemical products and the production profile. 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.
(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 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.
