Analysis:
Net sales increased on quarterly basis due to increase in applicable oil and gas prices in the second half of the year. Q2
profit was decreased mainly due to 3D seismic cost incurred by an associated company, which has been charged to profit
in line with Company's accounting policy. Q4 profit would have been higher if there was no imposition of the new fiscal
regime that was enacted towards the end of the year. Lower production in Q2 is due to lower off-takes by customers owing
to their less requirements.

The Company's largest field is Mari Field which is located at Daharki, District Ghotki, Sindh.
1.3.1 Previously, gas price mechanism for Mari field was governed by Mari Gas Wellhead Price Agreement ("the
Agreement") dated December 22, 1985 between the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the
Company. Effective July 1, 2014, the Agreement was replaced with revised Mari Wellhead Gas Price Agreement
dated July 29, 2015 ("Revised Agreement 2015") in line with the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC)
decision, whereby the wellhead gas pricing formula was replaced with a crude oil price linked formula, which
provides a discounted wellhead gas price. The Revised Agreement 2015 provided dividend distribution to be
continued for ten years upto June 30, 2024 in line with the previous cost plus formula, according to which the
shareholders were entitled to a minimum return of 30% per annum, net of all taxes, on shareholders' funds,
to be escalated in the event of increase in the Company's gas or equivalent oil production beyond the level
of 425 MMSCFD at the rate of 1%, net of all taxes, on shareholder's funds for each additional 20 MMSCFD of
gas or equivalent oil produced, prorated for part thereof on an annual basis, subject to a maximum of 45% per
annum.
1.3.2 Effective July 1, 2020, dividend distribution cap has been removed vide ECC decision in the meeting held on
February 3, 2021, which has also been ratified by the Federal Cabinet on February 9, 2021. Accordingly, the
Company is allowed to distribute dividend in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act 2017 and rules
made thereunder, without any lower or upper limit as mentioned in para 1.3.1. Subsequently, an Amendment
Agreement to Revised Agreement 2015 has been executed between the Government of Pakistan and the
Company on April 17, 2021, giving effect to the ECC decision.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017 and provisions of and directives issued under the Companies
Act, 2017. Where the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ from IFRS, the
provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period,
or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, the management has made the following
estimates, assumptions and judgements which are significant to these financial statements:
h) Measurement of the expected credit loss allowance - note 3.16 and note 33
The measurement of the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) allowance for financial assets measured at amortised
cost is an area that requires the use of complex models and significant assumptions about future economic
conditions and credit behavior (e.g. the likelihood of counter parties defaulting and the resulting losses).
Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting judgments and estimates include various formulas
and choice of inputs, macroeconomic scenarios and economic inputs alongwith their effect on Probability of
Default (PDs), Exposure At Default (EADs) and Loss Given Default (LGDs).
As referred in note 2.6 to these financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan
(SECP) has deferred applicability of ECL model in respect of financial assets due from the Government of
Pakistan (GoP) till June 30, 2022. Accordingly, the Company reviews the recoverability of its financial assets
Annual Report 2022 197
that are due directly / ultimately from GoP to assess whether there is any objective evidence of impairment
as per requirements of IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ at each reporting date.
2.5 Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and
have not been early adopted by the Company
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are only effective for accounting periods, beginning
on or after the date mentioned against each of them.
- Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies (effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023). The amendments aim to help entities
provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to
disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting
policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about
accounting policy disclosures.
- Amendments to IAS 8 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’- Definition
of Accounting Estimates (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023).
The amendments introduce a new definition for accounting estimates clarifying that they are monetary
amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments
also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying that a
company develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by an accounting policy. The
amendments will apply prospectively to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting
policies occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period in which the company
applies the amendments.
- Amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’- Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier
application permitted). The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption (IRE) so
198 Mari Petroleum Company Limited
that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. As a
result, companies will need to recognise a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary
differences arising on initial recognition of a lease and a decommissioning provision. For leases and
decommissioning liabilities, the associated deferred tax asset and liabilities will need to be recognised
from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognised
as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date.
- Amendment to IAS 16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ (effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2022). The amendments clarify the prohibition on an entity from deducting from
the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while
bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the
cost of producing those items, in statement of profit or loss.
- Amendment to IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ - Onerous Contracts:
Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022).
The amendments specify the costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when
assessing whether a contract is onerous.
- On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued 'Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020' (Amendments to
IAS 41, IFRS 1, IFRS 9, and IFRS 16)'. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2022.
- Amendment to IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2022). The amendment updates a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements.
The above standards, amendments to approved accounting standards and interpretations are not likely
to have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Other than the aforesaid standards, interpretations and amendments, IASB has also issued the following
standards and interpretation, which have not been notified locally or deferred by the SECP as at June 30,
2022:
Consequently, the Company has not recorded impact of application of ECL model on the financial assets due
directly/ultimately from the GoP in these financial statements.
(non-SOEs) where GoP holds significant investments. To administer the Scheme, the GoP transferred 12% of
its investment to BESOS Trust Fund (the Trust) created for the purpose by each of such entities.
Keeping in view the difficulties that may be faced by the entities covered under the Scheme, SECP on receiving
representation from some of the entities covered under the scheme and after having consulted the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan vide their letter number CAIDTS/PS& TAC/2011-2036 dated February 2,
2011 granted exemption to such entities from the application of IFRS 2 (Share based payment) to the Scheme
vide SRO 587 (I)/2011 dated June 7, 2011.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP), vide its detailed judgment dated December 22, 2021, has declared the
BESOS Scheme ultra vires. Accordingly, the appropriate measures in collaboration with relevant stakeholders
are being taken by the Company to implement the decision of the SCP.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented in these financial statements except
for reporting of the Company's operations as one reportable segment. Further, the Company has adopted the
accounting policy for government grant as disclosed in note 3.22 to these financial statements.
Current
Provision for current income tax is based on taxable income at the applicable tax rates after taking into
account tax credits and tax rebates, if any.
Deferred
The Company accounts for deferred tax using the 'liability method' in respect of all temporary differences
between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
bases. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets
are recognized to the extent, it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible
temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax has been calculated at the estimated
effective tax rate of 36% after taking into account the availability of depletion allowance and royalty. The tax
rate is reviewed periodically and significant adjustments are incorporated, where required.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
3.2 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past
events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each
reporting date and significant adjustments are made to reflect the current best estimate.
200 Mari Petroleum Company Limited
Liabilities for decommissioning cost are recognized when the Company has an obligation for site restoration
and a reliable estimate of that liability can be made. The amount recognized is the estimated cost of
decommissioning based on current requirements, technology and price levels and is discounted to its present
value over the useful economic life of the reserves. The associated decommissioning cost asset is capitalized
to the cost of property, plant and equipment, development and production assets and exploration and
evaluation assets, as the case may be. The recognized amount of decommissioning cost asset is subsequently
amortized/depreciated as part of the capital cost of the development and production assets and property,
plant and equipment.
While the provision is based on the best estimates, there is uncertainty regarding both the amount and
timing of incurring these costs. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is dealt with
prospectively and reflected as an adjustment to the provision and a corresponding adjustment to property,
plant and equipment, development and production assets and exploration and evaluation assets, as the
case may be. The unwinding of discount on decommissioning provision is recognized as finance cost in the
statement of profit or loss.
The decommissioning cost has been discounted at a real discount rate of 1.30% (2021: 1.30%) per annum.
a) The Company makes contributions to funded plans and records liability for funded and unfunded
plans on the basis of actuarial valuations, carried out annually by independent actuaries using the
"Projected Unit Credit Method" and the latest valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2022. The
results of the valuation are summarized in note 32 to these financial statements.
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each
plan by estimating the present value of the future benefit that employees have earned in return for
their service in the current and prior periods. Past service cost and curtailments are recognized in
statement of profit or loss, in the period in which change takes place.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
b) The Company has the policy to provide for compensated absences of its employees in accordance
with respective entitlement on cessation of service; related expected cost thereof has been
recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
ii) Defined contribution provident fund, for which Rs 196,106 thousand (2021: Rs 101,521 thousand) are
charged to statement of profit or loss for the year. The contributions to the fund are made by the Company
at the rate of 10% of the basic salary.
and equipment comprises acquisition and other directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the location
and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management and
decommissioning cost as referred in note 3.3 to these financial statements. The cost of self constructed
assets also includes the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing
the assets to working condition for their intended use.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is charged to statement of profit or loss using the straight line
method at rates specified in note 11 to these financial statements except for decommissioning cost which
is charged on unit of production basis, so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their
estimated useful lives.
Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the month in which an asset is
available for use while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is derecognized.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets' carrying amounts when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Carrying amount of parts so replaced, if any, is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged
to statement of profit or loss as and when incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are credited or charged to
statement of profit or loss in the year of disposal.
Capital work in progress is stated at cost less impairment loss, if any, and transferred to respective item of
property, plant and equipment when available for intended use.
The carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of such assets
is estimated and impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Where an impairment
loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised recoverable amount
but limited to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation)
had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of the impairment loss is
recognized as income in the statement of profit or loss.
Major costs capitalized include material, chemical, fuel, well services, rig costs, cost of recognizing provisions
for future site restoration and decommissioning and any other cost directly attributable to a particular well.
All other exploration costs including cost of technical studies, seismic acquisition and processing, geological
and geophysical activities are charged against income as exploration and prospecting expenditure. Costs
202 Mari Petroleum Company Limited
incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area are charged directly to the statement of
profit or loss as and when incurred.
Tangible assets used in E&E activities including the Company’s vehicles, drilling rigs and other property, plant
and equipment used by the Company’s exploration function are classified as property, plant and equipment.
However, to the extent that such a tangible asset is consumed in developing an E&E asset, the amount
reflecting that consumption is recorded as part of the cost of the E&E asset. Such costs include directly
attributable overheads, together with the cost of other materials consumed during the exploration and
evaluation phases.
E&E assets relating to each exploration license/field are carried forward, until the existence or otherwise of
commercial reserves have been determined subject to certain limitations including review for indications of
impairment. If commercial reserves have been discovered, the carrying value after any impairment loss of
the relevant E&E assets is then reclassified as development and production assets. Otherwise, the capitalized
costs are written off as dry hole costs. E&E assets are not amortized.
E&E assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may
exceed the recoverable amounts of these assets. Such indicators include, the point at which a determination
is made as to whether or not commercial reserves exist, the period for which the Company has right to
explore has either expired or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed, substantive
expenditure on further exploration and evaluation activities is not planned or budgeted and any other event,
that may give rise to indication that such assets are impaired.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the E&E assets is increased due
to the revised recoverable amount but limited to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss being recognized for the E&E assets in prior years. A reversal of the
impairment loss is recognized as income in the statement of profit or loss.
Changes in the estimates of commercial reserves are dealt with prospectively. Acquisition cost of leases,
where commercial reserves have been discovered, are capitalized and amortized on unit of production basis.
Impairment test of development and production assets is also performed whenever events and circumstances
arising during the development and production phase indicate that carrying amounts of the development and
production assets may exceed their recoverable amount. Such circumstances depend on the interaction
of a number of variables, such as the recoverable quantities of hydrocarbons, the production profile of the
hydrocarbons, the cost of the development of the infrastructure necessary to recover the hydrocarbons,
the production costs, the contractual duration of the production concession and the net selling price of the
hydrocarbons produced.
Annual Report 2022 203
The carrying amounts are compared against expected recoverable amounts of the oil and gas assets,
generally by reference to the present value of the future net cash flows expected to be derived from such
assets. The cash generating unit applied for impairment test purpose is generally field by field basis, except
that a number of fields may be grouped as a single cash generating unit where the cash flows of each field
are inter-dependent.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount is increased due to the revised
recoverable amount but limited to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had
no impairment loss being recognized in prior years. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as income
in the statement of profit or loss.
Under this method, investment in associates is carried in the statement of financial position at cost as
adjusted for post acquisition changes (net of tax) in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate, less
any impairment in the value of investment. Dividend distribution by the associate is adjusted against the
carrying amount of investment. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associate
are eliminated to the extent of Company's interest in the associate. Losses of an associate in excess of the
Company’s interest in that associate (which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of
the Company’s net investment in the associate) are recognized only to the extent that the Company has
incurred legal or constructive obligation or made payment on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share
of post-acquisition profit or loss is included in statement of profit or loss, its share of post-acquisition other
comprehensive income or loss is included in statement of comprehensive income and its share of post-
acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves.
When stores and spares meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, they are classified as stores
and spares held for capital expenditure under property, plant and equipment.
Foreign operation
The transactions of foreign operation are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of
transaction. All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated into
Rupees at exchange rate prevailing at the date of statement of financial position and the resulting currency
translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate
reserve in equity until the disposal of the foreign operation, upon which these are reclassified from equity to
statement of profit or loss when gain or loss on disposal is recognised.
When, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of
consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Effect of adjustment, if any, arising from revision
in sale price is reflected as and when the prices are finalized with the customers and/or approved by the
Government.
Amounts billed or received prior to being earned, are deferred and recognized as deferred income. The
Company recognizes revenue on take or pay arrangements with the customers only to the extent that it is
highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount recognized will not occur when the uncertainty, if any,
associated with the revenue is subsequently resolved. The Company considers such uncertainty as resolved
when such revenue is received by the Company and customer cannot adjust the unused paid volumes in the
future.
Mark up, interest and other charges on borrowings are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they
are incurred. Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. The Company suspends capitalization of
borrowing costs during extended period when active development of a qualifying asset is suspended.
3.14 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable by the Company are classified as liabilities. The profit
on these preference shares is recognized in the statement of profit or loss as finance cost.
Annual Report 2022 205
The Company has recognized its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses jointly held or incurred
under the joint operations on the basis of latest available audited financial statements of the joint operations
and where applicable, the cost statements received from the operator of the joint venture, for the intervening
period up to the statement of financial position date. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company
and its joint operations are eliminated to the extent of Company's interest in the joint operations.
a) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, normally being the transaction price. In the case of
financial assets not classified at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs are
also included. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as set out
below. The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire.
The Company classifies its financial assets as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the business model
for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The
Company determines the classification of financial asset at initial recognition.
(ii) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when they
are held in a business model the objective of which is both to collect contractual cash flows and sell the
financial assets, and the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Such
assets are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with gains or losses recognized in
the other comprehensive income.
b) Financial liabilities
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as follows:
After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.
A financial asset or group of financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost is considered to
be credit-impaired if there is reasonable and supportable evidence that one or more events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset (or group of financial assets) have
occurred. Financial assets are written off where the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering
amounts due.
Annual Report 2022 207
3.19 Leases
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method 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. The
estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant
and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
Where the Company determines that the lease term of identified lease contracts are short term in nature i.e.
with a lease term of twelve months or less at the commencement date, right of use assets is not recognized
and payments made in respect of these leases are expensed in the statement of profit or loss.
Lease liability
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 Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental
borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
b. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as
at the commencement date;
d. the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease
payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension
option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to
terminate early.
208 Mari Petroleum Company Limited
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in
the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the
Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, 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.
A contingent asset is disclosed, which is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the entity.

a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company on a financial asset if counterparty fails to meet its
contractual obligations and principally arises from trade debts, investments and bank balances. To manage
credit risk, the Company maintains procedures covering the function for credit approvals, granting and
renewal of counterparty limits and monitoring of exposures against these limits. As part of these processes,
the financial viability of all counterparties is regularly monitored and assessed.
Financial assets are considered to be credit-impaired when there is reasonable and supportable evidence that
one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset
have occurred. This includes observable data concerning significant financial difficulty of the counterparty;
a breach of contract; it becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial re-
organization because of financial difficulties. Where the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering
a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof for example where all legal avenues for collection of
amounts due have been exhausted, the financial asset (or relevant portion) is impaired.
The Company has not recorded impact of application of ECL model on the financial assets due directly/
ultimately from the GoP in these financial statements. For other financial assets, the management believes
that the impact of ECL is not material as outstanding balances are receivable from counter parties who have
high credit ratings with no history of default.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company conducts
transactions with the following major types of counterparties:
Customers
Trade debts are essentially due from fertilizer companies, power generation companies, gas distribution
companies and refineries and the Company does not expect these companies to fail to meet their obligations.
Payment terms are agreed with customers which vary from 7 to 45 days.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date in accordance with impairment requirements of
IFRS 9 read with S.R.O. 1177 (I)/2021 dated September 13, 2021 issued by SECP, which has exempted financial
assets due from the GoP from application of IFRS 9 till June 30, 2022. While evaluating the concentration of
risk with respect to trade debts, the Company takes into account that the oil and gas industry in Pakistan is
highly regulated, supported by the GOP and there is no history of default by any of the customers in the past.
The Company considers current and forward looking information on macro economic factors affecting the
ability of the customers to settle the receivables and applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach, read with S.R.O.
1177 (I)/2021 dated September 13, 2021 issued by SECP, to measure the expected credit losses which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance for trade debts.
Others
The relationship with the joint operating partners is governed under Petroleum Concession Agreements
(PCAs) signed by the Government of Pakistan, the Company and its respective joint operating partners with
the prior approval of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, the Government of Pakistan. Various
avenues are available for the recovery of dues from joint operating partners including engaging the regulator,
right to forfeit working interest, assignment of invoices etc. Based on above and considering there is no
history of default by any counter party, management considers the risk of default as very low. In respect of
deposits, the management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations and accordingly,
credit risk is considered very low.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liability when due under both normal and stress conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The Company maintains sufficient cash and cash
equivalents and the Company's financial assets are in excess of financial liabilities by Rs 62,638,574 thousand
(2021: Rs 68,906,107 thousand).
c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s profit or the value of its
holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on financial instruments.
i) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s profit or the value
of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of currency risk management is to manage and control
currency risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on financial instruments.
