3 Directors Report
3.1 Management Discussion and Analysis
In 2014, the demand in the oil and gas market grew slowly due to the slowdown in global economic recovery and the intensified downward pressure
on the domestic economy. Despite the complicated and severe domestic and international economic environment, the Group adhered to the guidelines of quality, profitability and sustainable development, made overall plans for resources and markets both
in the PRC and abroad, focused on developing its principal business of oil and gas operations, strived to push forward the adjustment to business structure and the overall arrangement for and optimisation of production, actively implemented measures
for broadening sources of income and reducing expenditure as well as cutting costs and enhancing efficiency, made great efforts to strengthen safety and environmental protection, and implemented a series of reform measures focused on enhancement of
output, sales and efficiency. As a result, the production and operation of the Group was stable and under control and the operating results met the expectations. In 2014, the Group achieved a turnover of RMB2,282,962 million, representing an
increase of 1.1% as compared with last year. However, due to such factors as the fall in crude oil price and consecutive reduction of the domestic refined oil price, net profit attributable to owners of the Company in 2014 was RMB107,172 million,
representing a decrease of 17.3% as compared with last year.
3.1.1 Market Review
(1) Crude Oil Market
The
supply in the international oil market was relatively ample in 2014. International crude oil prices fluctuated and went up slightly in the first half of the year and plummeted in the second half. The price at the end of the year was less than half
of the highest price in the middle of the year. The spread between the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price and other benchmark oil prices narrowed generally. The annual average spot price of North Sea Brent crude oil was
US$98.95 per barrel in 2014, representing a decrease of 8.9% as compared with last year. The annual average spot price of WTI crude oil was US$93.21 per barrel, representing a decrease of 4.9% as compared with last year.
(2) Refined Products Market
The market demand for refined products grew at a low to medium rate in 2014. The demand for gasoline maintained a comparatively rapid growth,
while the demand for diesel fell for the first time since 2009. The domestic refining capacity continued to grow, leading to a generally ample supply in the market and a further increase in the net exports of refined products.
6
According to the relevant information, domestically processed crude oil amounted to
456.42 million tons in 2014, representing an increase of 2.8% as compared with last year. Domestic output of refined products was 284.91 million tons, representing an increase of 4.4% as compared with last year. The apparent consumption of
refined products was 269.28 million tons, representing an increase of 2.0% as compared with last year. Of the foregoing amount, the apparent consumption of gasoline and diesel increased by 8.3% and decreased by 1.5%, respectively, as compared
with last year. The State reduced the domestic refined oil price 11 times consecutively in the second half of 2014. As a result, the reference gasoline price, in aggregate, dropped by RMB2,050 per ton and the reference diesel price, in aggregate,
dropped by RMB2,205 per ton. The price trend of domestic refined products was broadly in line with that of oil prices in the international markets.
(3) Chemical Products Market
In 2014, the slow global economic recovery resulted in insufficient motivation for consumption. A sharp drop in the crude oil price and the
release of excess capacity in the global chemical industry led to a continuous downturn of the chemical products market. With the adjustment of domestic economic structure and increased imports of low-priced products, the price of chemical products
remained at a low level and the supply still exceeded the demand in the chemical products market.
(4) Natural Gas Market
In 2014, the domestic output of natural gas grew steadily, the growth in natural gas imports slowed down and the growth in demand for natural

3.1.3 Review of Operating Results
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Group and the notes set out
thereto in the Annual Report and other sections thereof. The financial data set out below is extracted from the audited financial statements of the Group prepared under IFRS.
(1) Consolidated Operating Results
In 2014, the Group achieved a turnover of RMB2,282,962 million, representing an increase of 1.1% on a year-on-year basis. Profit attributable
to owners of the Company was RMB107,172 million, representing a decrease of 17.3% on a year-on-year basis. Basic earnings per share were RMB0.59, representing a decrease of RMB0.12 on a year-on-year basis.
Turnover Turnover increased by 1.1% from RMB2,258,124 million for 2013 to RMB2,282,962 million for 2014. This was primarily due to the
combined effects of the decreasing selling prices of crude oil and refined oil, the rising selling prices of natural gas coupled with the increase in the sales volume of crude oil, natural gas, gasoline and other major products. The table below sets
out external sales volume and average realised prices for major products sold by the Group and their respective percentage of change in 2014 and 2013, respectively:

The sales volume of crude oil listed in the table above represents all external sales volume of crude oil of the Group. |
Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased by 2.1% from RMB2,069,482 million for 2013 to RMB2,113,129 million for 2014, of which:
Purchases, Services and Other Purchases, services and other increased by 1.5% from RMB1,464,805 million for 2013 to RMB1,486,225
million for 2014. This was primarily due to the Groups expansion of its trade scale.
11
Employee Compensation Costs Employee compensation costs (including salaries, such
additional costs as different types of insurances, housing funds and training fees for the 534,652 employees of the Group and 319,346 market-oriented temporary and seasonal contractors) were RMB120,822 million for 2014, representing an increase of
3.8% from RMB116,422 million for 2013, primarily due to the fact that the level of income of frontline employees was duly protected by the Group and the increase of social insurances based on such factors as increases in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) and social average salary.
Exploration Expenses Exploration expenses amounted to RMB22,064 million for 2014,
representing a decrease of 12.8% from RMB25,301 million for 2013. This was primarily due to the reduction of overseas exploration workload due to the fact that some overseas projects of the Group have entered into production phase.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortisation Depreciation, depletion and amortisation increased by 8.6% from RMB163,365 million for 2013 to
RMB177,463 million for 2014. This was primarily due to increased average carrying value of fixed assets and the increased average net value of oil and gas properties of the Group leading to increase in the amounts of depreciation and depletion.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 7.1% from RMB79,021 million for
2013 to RMB73,413 million for 2014. This was primarily due to the fact that the Group proactively implemented measures for broadening sources of income, reducing expenditure, cutting costs and enhancing efficiency to strengthen control over costs
and expenses.
Taxes other than Income Taxes Taxes other than income taxes decreased by 4.1% from RMB248,086 million for 2013 to
RMB237,997 million for 2014. This was primarily due to the drop in the price of crude oil in 2014, leading to a decrease in the crude oil special gain levy payable by the Group from RMB72,726 million for 2013 to RMB64,376 million for 2014.
Other Income, net Other income, net, for 2014 was RMB4,855 million, representing a decrease of 82.4% from RMB27,518 million for 2013.
This was primarily because the Group recognised the gain on investment of certain pipeline net assets and operations during the same period of last year.
Profit from Operations The profit from operations for 2014 was RMB169,833 million, representing a decrease of 9.97% from RMB188,642
million for 2013.
Net Exchange Loss/Gain Net exchange loss for 2014 was RMB2,313 million, while the net exchange gain for 2013 was
RMB52 million. This was primarily due to the fact that the depreciation of Kazakhstani Tenge (KZT) caused increase of exchange loss during the reporting period.
Net Interest Expenses Net interest expenses increased by 4.1% from RMB20,859 million for 2013 to RMB21,723 million for 2014, primarily
due to increase in the balance of interest-bearing debts to finance production, operation, and capital expenditures.
Profit Before
Income Tax Expense Profit before income tax expense decreased by 12.0% from RMB178,063 million for 2013 to RMB156,759 million for 2014.
12
Income Tax Expense Income tax expense increased by 5.4% from RMB35,789 million for 2013 to
RMB37,731 million for 2014, which was primarily due to the combined effect of the increase in income tax expense arising from adjustments of the policy for crude oil special gain levy deduction before income tax and the decrease of profit for the
current period.
Profit for the Year Profit for the year decreased by 16.3% from RMB142,274 million for 2013 to RMB119,028 million
for 2014.
Profit Attributable to Non-controlling Interests Net profit attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by 6.5%,
from RMB12,675 million for 2013 to RMB11,856 million for 2014, which was primarily due to the decrease in the profits of certain overseas subsidiaries of the Group.
Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company Affected by the impact of the decrease in the selling price of crude oil and refined oil
and the income generated from the contribution of certain pipeline net assets and business of the Group over the same period of last year, net profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 17.3% from RMB129,599 million for 2013 to
RMB107,172 million for 2014.
(2) Segment Results
Exploration and Production
Turnover The realised turnover of the Exploration and Production segment for 2014 was RMB777,574 million, representing a decrease of
0.8% from RMB783,694 million for 2013, which was primarily due to the combined effect of the drop in the crude oil price and the increase in the natural gas price as well as the increase in the sales volume. The average realised crude oil price of
the Group in 2014 was US$94.83 per barrel, representing a decrease of 5.6% from US$100.42 per barrel in 2013.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses of the Exploration and Production segment decreased by 0.6% from RMB593,996 million for 2013 to RMB590,677 million for 2014, which was primarily due to the combined effect of the decrease in the crude oil special gain levy
paid for the sales of domestic crude oil during the current period and the increase in depreciation, depletion and amortisation.
The oil
and gas lifting cost of the Group for 2014 was US$13.76 per barrel, representing an increase of 4.0% from US$13.23 per barrel for 2013. Excluding the effect of exchange rate movements, the oil and gas lifting cost increased by 3.2% as compared with
last year. The growth of lifting cost has been effectively controlled as a result of the active implementation by the Group of the measures for broadening sources of income and reducing expenditure, as well as cutting costs and enhancing efficiency.
13
Profit from Operations In 2014, the Exploration and Production segment continued to
maintain a stable profitability by proactively coping with the unfavourable conditions caused by the drop in oil price, through carrying out oil and gas production efficiently and enhancing its control over costs and expenses continuously. The
realised profit from operations of the Exploration and Production segment was RMB186,897 million, representing a decrease of 1.5% from RMB189,698 million for 2013. Nevertheless, the Exploration and Production segment remained the most important
profit contributing segment of the Group.
Refining and Chemicals
Turnover Turnover of the Refining and Chemicals segment decreased by 3.0% from RMB871,815 million for 2013 to RMB846,082 million for
2014, primarily due to the combined effect of the fall in refined and chemicals products price and optimisation of the allocation of resources, structure of products and production workload in the Refining and Chemicals segment.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the Refining and Chemicals segment decreased by 3.0% from RMB896,207 million for 2013 to
RMB869,642 million for 2014, primarily due to the decrease in the expenses associated with the purchase of crude oil and feedstock oil from external suppliers.
In 2014, cash processing cost of refineries of the Group was RMB177.85 per ton, representing an increase of 10.8% from RMB160.55 per ton over
the same period last year. This was primarily due to the increase in fuel and power costs.
Profit from Operations In 2014, the
Refining and Chemicals segment adhered to the principle of market orientation, adjusted its operation strategy, and took various measures to enhance controls over key cost indicators. The Refining and Chemicals segment incurred a loss of RMB23,560
million, representing a decrease in loss of RMB832 million as compared with RMB24,392 million recorded in 2013. Of this, the refining operations recorded an operating loss of RMB7,155 million due to the impact of a reduction in gross profit from the
decrease in the selling price of refined oil and the price of the inventory, representing an increase in loss of RMB2,447 million as compared with last year. The chemical operations recorded an operating loss of RMB16,405 million from the decrease
in the demand of the chemical market. The Group kept optimising the structure of products and controlled its costs, resulting a decrease in loss of RMB3,279 million compared to the operation loss of RMB19,684 million for the same period last year.
Marketing
Turnover Turnover of the Marketing segment decreased by 0.4% from RMB1,946,806 million for 2013 to RMB1,938,501 million for 2014,
primarily due to continuous downward adjustments in the refined oil price and a decrease in the sales volume of diesel.
Operating
Expenses Operating expenses of the Marketing segment decreased by 0.3% from RMB1,939,244 million for 2013 to RMB1,933,080 million for 2014, primarily due to a decrease in the expenses arising from the purchase of refined oil from external
suppliers.
14
Profit from Operations In 2014, the Marketing sector aimed for maximisation of the whole
value of the Company, enhanced connection between production and sales, strengthened inventory management and focused on increasing sales of high grade gasoline and jet fuel. However, due to factors including a reduced speed of growth of the
domestic economy and mild demand from the market, the Marketing segment recorded a profit from operations of RMB5,421 million for 2014, representing a decrease of 28.3% from RMB7,562 million for 2013.

Turnover Turnover of the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment amounted to RMB284,262 million for 2014, representing an increase of 22.1%
from RMB232,751 million for 2013. The increase was primarily due to the increases in both the sales volume and the selling price of natural gas.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment amounted to RMB271,136 million for 2014, representing an
increase of 18.6% as compared to the same period last year, excluding the effect of the contribution of certain pipeline net assets and business in 2013, primarily due to the increase in the expense of the purchase of natural gas.
Profit from Operations In 2014, the Natural Gas and Pipeline segment enhanced management of the demand side, strengthened market
development and resource allocation ability, realised an increase in both volume and efficiency of sales of natural gas, and achieved a profit from operations of RMB13,126 million for 2014, representing a decrease of 54.6% from RMB28,888 million in
2013. Excluding the effect brought about by the income generated from the contribution of certain pipeline net assets and business in 2013, the profit from operations increased by RMB9,060 million as compared with last year. In 2014, the Natural Gas
and Pipeline segment recorded a net loss of RMB35,020 million from sales of imported gas, representing a decrease of loss of RMB6,852 million as compared with last year and consisting of a loss of RMB17,683 million for the sales of 29.270 billion

3.3 Distribution Plan for the Final Dividend for 2014
The Board recommends a final dividend of RMB 0.09601 per share (inclusive of applicable tax) for 2014, which is based on 45% of the net
profit of the Group for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 after deducting the interim dividend for 2014 paid respectively on September 19, 2014 (in respect of A shares) and on September 29, 2014 (in respect of H shares). The
proposed final dividend is subject to shareholders review and approval at the forthcoming annual general meeting to be held on May 27, 2015. The final dividend will be paid to shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of
the Company at the close of trading on June 9, 2015. The register of members of H shares will be closed from June 4, 2015 to June 9, 2015 (both days inclusive) during which period no transfer of H shares will be registered. In order
to qualify for the final dividend, holders of H shares must lodge all transfer documents together with the relevant share certificates at Hong Kong Registrars Limited at or before 4:30 p.m. on June 3, 2015. Holders of A shares whose names
appear on the register of members of the Company maintained at China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (CSDC) at the close of trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the afternoon of June 9, 2015 are eligible
for the final dividend. The final dividend of A shares and H shares for 2014 will be paid on or about June 10, 2015 and July 16, 2015, respectively.
23
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association of PetroChina Company
Limited and relevant laws, dividends payable to the Companys shareholders shall be declared in Renminbi. Dividends payable to the holders of A shares shall be paid in Renminbi, and for the A shares of the Company listed on the Shanghai Stock
Exchange and invested by the investors through the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, dividends shall be paid in Renminbi to the accounts of the nominal shareholders through CSDC. Save for the H shares of the Company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
and invested by the investors through the Shanghai Stock Exchange (the H Shares under the Southbound Trading Link), dividends payable to the holders of H shares shall be paid in Hong Kong Dollars. The applicable exchange rate shall be
the average of the medium exchange rate for Renminbi to Hong Kong Dollar as announced by the Peoples Bank of China for the week prior to the declaration of the dividends at the annual general meeting to be held on May 27, 2015. Dividends
payable to the holders of H Shares under the Southbound Trading Link shall be paid in Renminbi. In accordance with the Agreement on Payment of Cash Dividends on the H Shares under the Southbound Trading Link between the Company and CSDC, CSDC

Shares under the Southbound Trading Link to investors thereof.
According to the Law on Corporate Income Tax of the Peoples Republic
of China and the relevant implementing rules which came into effect on January 1, 2008, the Company is required to withhold corporate income tax at the rate of 10% before distributing dividends to non-resident enterprise shareholders whose
names appear on the register of members of H shares of the Company. Any H shares registered in the name of non-individual shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees, trustees or other groups and organisations will be treated as
being held by non-resident enterprise shareholders and therefore will be subject to the withholding of the corporate income tax. Should any holder of H shares wish to change their shareholder status, please consult their agent or trust institution
over the relevant procedures. The Company will withhold payment of the corporate income tax strictly in accordance with the relevant laws or requirements of the relevant governmental departments and strictly based on what will be registered on the
Companys H share register of members on June 9, 2015.
According to the regulation promulgated by the State General
Administration of Taxation of the PRC (Guo Shui Han [2011] No.348), the Company is required to withhold and pay the individual income tax for its individual H shareholders (Individual H Shareholders) and the Individual H Shareholders are
entitled to certain tax preferential treatments according to the tax agreements between those countries where the Individual H Shareholders are residents and China and the provisions in respect of tax arrangements between the mainland China and Hong
Kong (Macau). The Company would withhold and pay the individual income tax at the tax rate of 10% on behalf of the Individual H Shareholders who are Hong Kong residents, Macau residents or residents of those countries having agreements with China
for personal income tax rates in respect of dividend of 10%. For Individual H Shareholders who are residents of those countries having agreements with China for personal income tax rates in respect of dividend of lower than 10%, the Company would
make applications on their behalf to seek entitlement of the relevant agreed preferential treatments pursuant to the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation in relation to the Administrative Measures on Preferential Treatment Entitled by
Non-residents under Tax Treaties (Tentative) (Guo Shui Fa [2009] No.124)
For Individual H Shareholders who are residents of those countries having agreements with China for personal income tax rates in respect of dividend of higher than 10% but lower than 20%, the Company would withhold
the individual income tax at the agreed-upon effective tax rate. For Individual H Shareholders who are residents of those countries without any taxation agreements with China or having agreements with China for personal income tax in respect of
dividend of 20% or other situations, the Company would withhold the individual income tax at a tax rate of 20%.
24
The Company will determine the country of domicile of the Individual H Shareholders based on the
registered address as recorded in the register of members of the Company (the Registered Address) on June 9, 2015 and will accordingly withhold and pay the individual income tax. If the country of domicile of an Individual H
Shareholder is not the same as the Registered Address, the Individual H Shareholder shall notify the share registrar of the Companys H shares and provide relevant supporting documents on or before 4:30 p.m., June 3, 2015 (address: Hong
Kong Registrars Limited, 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queens Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong). If the Individual H Shareholder does not provide the relevant supporting documents to the share registrar of the Companys H shares within the
time period stated above, the Company will determine the country of domicile of the Individual H Shareholder based on the recorded Registered Address on June 9, 2015.
The Company will not entertain any claims arising from and assume no liability whatsoever in respect of any delay in, or inaccurate
determination of, the status of the shareholders of the Company or any disputes over the withholding and payment of tax.
In accordance
with the Circular on the Tax Policies concerning the Pilot Program of the Shanghai and Hongkong Stock Market Trading Interconnection Mechanism
, which became effective on November 17, 2014, with regard to the dividends obtained by individual mainland investors from investment in the H shares of the Company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through
the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the Company will withhold their individual income tax at the rate of 20% in accordance with the register of individual mainland investors provided by CSDC. As to the withholding tax having been paid abroad, an
individual investor may file an application for tax credit with the competent tax authority of CSDC with an effective credit document. With respect to the dividends obtained by mainland securities investment funds from investment in the H shares of
the Company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the Company will levy tax with reference to the provisions concerning the collection of tax on individual investors. The Company will not withhold
income tax on dividends obtained by mainland enterprise investors, and mainland enterprise investors shall file their income tax returns and pay tax themselves instead.
25
With regard to the dividends obtained by the investors (including enterprises and individuals)
from investment in the A shares of the Company listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange through the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company will withhold income tax at the rate of 10%, and file tax withholding returns with the competent tax authority. Where
there is any tax resident of a foreign country out of the investors under the Northbound Trading Link and the rate of income tax on dividends is less than 10%, as provided for in the tax treaty between the country and the PRC, the enterprise or
individual may personally, or entrust a withholding agent to, file an application for the tax treatment under the tax treaty with the competent tax authority of the Company. Upon review, the competent tax authority will refund tax based on the
difference between the amount of tax having been collected and the amount of tax payable calculated at the tax rate as set out in the tax treaty.

Iraq Limited to raise its working interest in the West Qurna-1 project in Iraq from 25% to 32.7%. The Group acquired a 25% working interest in this project on December 2, 2013.

future financial conditions and operating results of the Group.
4.2 The Promulgation of the Proposals Concerning the Adjustment of the
Price of Natural Gas
On August 10, 2014, the National Development and Reform Commission (the NDRC) promulgated the

appropriately increased, and that the issuance of the price adjustment mechanism for natural gas consumed by fertilizer makers would be put on hold. No adjustment will be made to the citygate price for natural gas consumed by residential users.
Further actions will be taken to implement the policy in connection with the liberalisation of the sales price of imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the ex-factory prices for shale gas, coal-seam gas and coal gas.
This event did not affect the continuity of business or the stability of management of the Group. It is conducive to the sustainable and

from April 1, 2015. In consideration of the price movement of alternative energy like fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas in the second half of 2014 and the current pricing mechanism of natural gas, the citygate price ceiling for the
consumption amount exceeds 2012 level will decrease by RMB 440/ Kilostere and the citygate price ceiling for the consumption amount in 2012 will increase by RMB 40/ Kilostere.

4.5 Progress of Litigation
Regarding the disclosed class action proceedings brought by individual overseas shareholders before the United States Federal District Court
for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain individuals based on the fact that certain former directors and former senior management were subject to investigation conducted by the relevant PRC authorities, the notice in
respect of such action was served to the Company. Details are further described in the Companys announcements in connection with the disclosure of the proceedings (No. Lin 2013-025 and Lin 2013-031 respectively) posted on the
website of Shanghai Stock Exchange and on China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News and Securities Times dated September 6, 2013 and November 26, 2013, and on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. On April 4, 2014, the
United States Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order consolidating the related actions and appointing the lead plaintiff and the chief counsel.
On June 6, 2014, the lead plaintiff submitted the revised indictment and changed defendants to Jiang Jiemin, Ran Xinquan and Li Hualin,
who are the former directors and former senior management of the Company. The relevant charges set out in the indictment were roughly the same as those in the previous indictment in connection with violation of the U.S. Securities Act.
On August 5, 2014, in view of the revised indictment, the Company filed a motion to dismiss.
In November 2014, upon approval by the court, the U.S. plaintiff further submitted a Revised Joinder Indictment. In view of the indictment,
the Company filed another motion to dismiss with the court in February 2015.
During the current reporting period, the normal course of
business of the Company has not been affected. The Company will use its best endeavour to proactively defend against such action so as to protect its lawful interests.
