##### Table of Contents

|development cost | For a given period, costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and
storing the oil and gas.
|------------------ | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|finding cost | For a given period, costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered
to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type test wells. Finding cost is also known as exploration cost.
|-------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|lifting cost | For a given period, costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including applicable operating
costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities. Lifting cost is also known as production cost.
|-------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|natural gas liquids | Hydrocarbons that can be extracted in liquid form during natural gas production. Ethane and pentanes are the predominant
components, with other heavier hydrocarbons also present in limited quantities.
|--------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|offshore | Areas under water with a depth of five meters or greater.
|---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------



|onshore | Areas of land and areas under water with a depth of less than five meters.
|--------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



|primary distillation capacity | At a given point in time, the maximum volume of crude oil a refinery is able to process in its basic distilling units.
|------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|proved reserves | Under the SEC reserve rules, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and 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 regulations  prior to the time at which
contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must
have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
|----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:
| | ------------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that
can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an
associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to,
fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a
whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B)
The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The
price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding
escalations based upon future conditions.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|reserve-to-production
ratio | For any given well, field or country, the ratio of proved reserves to annual production of crude oil or, with respect to natural gas, to
wellhead production excluding flared gas.
|----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|sales gas | Marketable production of gas on an as sold basis, excluding flared gas, injected gas and gas consumed in operations.
|----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|undeveloped reserves | Under the SEC reserve rules, undeveloped reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on
undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
|---------------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of
production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that
they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing
reasonable certainty.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|water cut | For a given oil region, the percentage that water constitutes of all fluids extracted from all wells in that region.

Risk Factors

Our business is primarily subject to various changing competitive, economic and social conditions. Such changing
conditions entail certain risks, which are described below.

Risks Related to Macro Economic Conditions

Our operations may be adversely affected by international and domestic economic conditions. As the oil and gas industry is
sensitive to macro-economic trends, oil and gas prices tend to fluctuate along with changes in macro-economic conditions. We may experience pricing pressure on our
refined products in recessionary periods, which would have an adverse effect on our profitability. In 2015, a weak domestic economy continued to affect the demand for certain of our products. These factors may also lead to intensified
competition for market share, with consequential potential adverse effects on volumes. There has been an uptrend in Chinas overall inflation rate in recent years. Notwithstanding the measures taken by the PRC government to control inflation,
China may continue to experience inflation in the near term and our operating costs may become higher than anticipated. The financial and economic situation may also have a negative impact on third parties with whom we do, or may do, business. Any
of these factors may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Risks Related to Competition

The oil, gas and petrochemicals industries are highly competitive. There is strong competition, both within the oil and
gas industry and with other industries, in supplying the fuel needs of commercial, industrial and residential markets. In recent years, with further diversification of the market players in Chinas petroleum and petrochemical industry, we
have been facing increasingly intense competition from privately-owned companies, foreign-invested enterprises and other state-owned enterprises that recently entered the refinery, chemical, sales and oil and gas service sectors. In addition,
the rapid development of unconventional oil and gas resources, new energy sources and new products also poses competition with the conventional energy and petrochemical industries. Competition puts pressure on product prices, affects oil
products marketing and requires continuous management focus on identifying new trends, reducing unit costs and improving efficiency. The implementation of our growth strategy requires continued technological advances and innovation, including
advances in exploration, production, refining, petrochemicals manufacturing technology and advances in technology related to energy usage. Our performance could be impeded if competitors developed or acquired intellectual property rights to
technology that we required or if our innovation lagged the industry.

The eastern and southern regions of China have a
higher demand for refined products and chemical products than the western and northern regions. Although we have strived to increase our refinery capacity in the southern regions of China over recent years, most of our refineries and chemical
plants are located in the northeastern and northwestern regions of China. We incur relatively higher transportation costs for delivery of our refined products and chemical products to certain areas of the eastern and southern regions from our
refineries and chemical plants in western and northern China. We face strong competition from other traditional domestic oil companies, local independent refineries and other competitors. As a result, we expect that we will continue to
encounter difficulty in increasing our sales of refined products and chemical products in these regions.

Risks Related to Outbound Investments and
Trading

We are subject to various political, legal and regulatory environments in foreign developing countries where
we operate, some of which are known to be unstable and differ in certain significant respects from those prevailing in developed countries. The main factors affecting our outbound investments include unstable political situations, unstable tax
policies and unstable regulatory regimes. CNPC, our controlling shareholder, and its affiliates and subsidiaries may choose to undertake, without our involvement, overseas



9

##### Table of Contents

investments, operations and trading in the oil and gas industry, including exploration and production of oil and gas, refining and transportation, import of crude oil and natural gas, operation
of liquefied natural gas, or LNG projects, or other business activities. CNPCs overseas asset portfolio includes oil and gas development and pipeline projects in certain countries that are subject to U.S. sanctions, including Iran, Sudan,
Cuba, Syria, Myanmar and Russia.

Since July 2014, the United States has adopted economic sanctions against certain Russian
persons and entities, including various entities operating in the financial, energy and defense sectors, such as Rosneft, Gazprom, OAO Novatek and Yamal LNG. These sanctions prohibit U.S. persons from transacting in, providing financing for or
otherwise dealing in debt issuance by certain of these entities, or restrict exports and transfer of technologies to certain of these entities.

CNPC had certain pre-existing trading and investment relationships with some of these sanctioned Russian entities. For example,
CNPC entered into a long-term agreement with Rosneft to import crude oil from Russia in June 2013 and a long-term agreement with Gazprom to import natural gas from Russia in May 2014. CNPC has resold, and will for the foreseeable future resell, all
or a substantial portion of the imported crude oil from Rosneft under the crude oil agreement to us. CNPC also indirectly holds 20% equity interest in OAO Yamal LNG, which is a subsidiary of OAO Novatek, another sanctioned Russian entity. In
May 2014, we entered into a long-term LNG import agreement with a subsidiary of OAO Yamal LNG to import LNG from Russia.

We closely monitor the possible impacts of U.S. sanctions against these Russian entities which have trading or investment
relationships with CNPC or us. We do not believe that our activities, nor those of CNPC, with these sanctioned Russian entities are in violation of applicable economic sanctions administered by the United States. However, we cannot assure you
that current or future regulations or developments related to economic sanctions will not have a material adverse impact on our business or reputation. Certain U.S. based investors may not wish to invest and have proposed or adopted divestment
or similar initiatives regarding investments in companies that do business with countries and entities that are subject to U.S. sanctions. These investors may not wish for CNPC or us to make investments or conduct activities in the countries or
with the entities that are the subject of U.S. sanctions and may divest their investment in us because of our relationship with CNPC and its investments and activities in those countries or with those entities that are the subject of U.S.
sanctions. As a result, the trading prices of our ADSs may be adversely affected.

In July 2012, the U.S. Treasury
Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC, added Bank of Kunlun Co., Ltd., or Kunlun Bank, an affiliate of our company due to common control by CNPC, to its List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Part 561
pursuant to the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010. OFAC reported that Kunlun Bank provided financial services to at least six Iranian banks that were on OFACs sanctions list during 2012. These financial
services included holding accounts, making transfers and paying letters of credit on behalf of the designated banks. Kunlun Bank has not informed us of the revenue and profit it generated from such activities in relation to Iran or whether it will
discontinue such activities. Our company has no involvement in or control over such activities of Kunlun Bank or CNPC and CNPC subsidiaries and affiliates, and we have never received any revenue or profit derived from these activities.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

Our operations, like those of other PRC oil and gas companies, are subject to extensive regulations and control by the PRC
government. These regulations and control affect many material aspects of our operations, such as exploration and production licensing, industry-specific and
product-specific taxes and fees and environmental and safety standards. As a result, we may face significant constraints on our ability to implement our business strategies, to develop or expand our business
operations or to maximize our profitability. Our business may also be affected by future changes in certain policies of the PRC government with respect to the oil and gas industry.



10

##### Table of Contents

Currently, the PRC government must approve the construction and major renovation
of significant refining and petrochemical facilities as well as the construction of significant crude oil, natural gas and refined product pipelines and storage facilities. We presently have several significant projects pending approval from
the relevant government authorities and will need approvals from the relevant government authorities in connection with several other significant projects. We do not have control over the timing and outcome of the final project approvals.

Because PRC laws, regulations and legal requirements dealing with economic matters continue to evolve, and because of the
limited volume of published judicial interpretations and the non-binding nature of prior court decisions, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, regulations and legal requirements involve some
uncertainty. Because the PRC Company Law is different in certain important aspects from company laws in the United States, Hong Kong and other common law jurisdictions, and because the PRC securities laws and regulations are still at a stage of
development, you may not enjoy the shareholders protections that you may be entitled to in other jurisdictions.

Risks Related to Controlling
Shareholder

As of December 31, 2015, CNPC beneficially owned approximately 86.507% of our share capital. This
ownership percentage enables CNPC to elect our entire board of directors without the concurrence of any of our other shareholders. Accordingly, CNPC is in a position to:



| |  |  | control our policies and management affairs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | subject to applicable PRC laws and regulations and provisions of our articles of association, affect the
timing and amount of dividend payments and adopt amendments to certain of the provisions of our articles of association; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | otherwise determine the outcome of most corporate actions and, subject to the regulatory requirements of the
jurisdictions in which our shares are listed, cause our company to effect corporate transactions without the approval of minority shareholders.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CNPCs interests may sometimes conflict with those of some or all of our minority shareholders. We cannot assure you
that CNPC, as our controlling shareholder, will always vote its shares in a way that benefits our minority shareholders.

In addition to its relationship with us as our controlling shareholder, CNPC by itself or through its affiliates also provides
us with certain services and products necessary for our business activities, such as construction and technical services, production services, materials supply services and financial services. The interests of CNPC and its affiliates as
providers of these services and products to us may conflict with our interests.

Risks Related to Pricing and Exchange Rate

Our operations are affected by the volatility of prices for crude oil, refined products and natural gas. We set our crude
oil median prices monthly based on the international trading prices for crude oil.

In 2015, international
prices for crude oil have declined substantially in response to changes in global and regional economy, politics and supply and demand for crude oil. We do not have, and will not have, control over factors affecting international prices for
crude oil. Fluctuations in crude oil prices have a significant impact in our results of operations. A decline in crude oil prices may reduce revenues from, and may result in a loss in, our exploration and production segment. Further,
if crude oil prices remain at a low level for a prolonged period, our company has to determine and estimate whether our oil and gas assets may suffer impairment and, if so, the amount of the impairment. An increase in crude oil prices may,
however, increase the production costs of refined products reduce demand for our products and affect our operating profits.



11

##### Table of Contents

Since 2008, the PRC government has further improved its refined oil pricing
mechanism. When there is a change in the average crude oil price in the international market during a given time period, the PRC government can adjust refined oil prices. When international crude oil price experiences sustained increases
or becomes significantly volatile, the PRC government may increase its control over the refined oil prices. As a result, the regulation on refined product prices by the PRC government may reduce our profit and cause our refining assets to
suffer impairment.

We negotiate the actual settlement price with natural gas users within the ceiling of citygate price
permitted by the PRC government. When the price ceiling set by the government is lower than the international natural gas price, the cost of our imported natural gas will be higher than the sales price of our natural gas, which may reduce our
revenues and profit, or result in losses, cause our natural gas assets to suffer impairment.

We receive most of our
revenues in Renminbi. A portion of our Renminbi revenues must be converted into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations. The existing foreign exchange limitations under the PRC laws and regulations could affect our ability to
obtain foreign exchange through debt financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures. The value of Renminbi against U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Chinas
political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government introduced a floating exchange rate system to allow the value of the Renminbi to fluctuate within a regulated band based on market supply and demand and by reference to a basket
of foreign currencies. Because most of our imports of equipment and other materials and our outbound investments are settled in foreign currencies, the exchange rates between RMB and U.S. dollars and any other relevant foreign currencies may have an
effect on our crude oil purchase costs and our investment costs.

Risks Related to Environmental Protection and Safety

Compliance with changes in laws, regulations and obligations relating to climate change or environmental protection could
result in substantial expenditures and reduced profitability from increases in operating costs.

A number of provinces in
which our oil and gas exploration and production activities are located have promulgated environment protection regulations, which set forth specific abandonment and disposal processes for oil and gas exploration and production activities. We
have established standard abandonment procedures in response to the issuance of these provincial regulations. We have included under our asset retirement obligations the costs for these abandonment activities and this asset retirement
obligation is based on our best estimate of future abandonment expenditures. In addition, PRC central government or other provincial governments may enact similar regulations or stricter environmental protection regulations. For example, the
revised PRC Environmental Protection Law has been effective starting from January 1, 2015 and the revised PRC Safety Production Law has been effective since December 1, 2014. Any new or potential regulations could impose stricter requirements on us
and thus increase our operation costs.

The process of gasoline and diesel fuel quality upgrade is gradually
accelerating in China. On May 5, 2015, China promulgated the Work Plan regarding Accelerating Quality Upgrading of Refined Oil Products, which announced that as of January 1, 2016, the China V Standards shall be implemented for auto-use
gasoline (inclusive of E10 ethanol-containing gasoline) and auto-use diesel (inclusive of B5 biodiesel) in eleven provinces and municipalities in eastern China; as of January 1, 2017 the China V Standards will be applied across the country for
auto-use gasoline and diesel; and as of January 1, 2018, China V Standards will apply to the sulfur-content of ordinary diesel across the country. New governmental requirements to improve oil quality impose challenges to our refining and
chemicals segment and could increase our costs in oil refining.

Exploring for, producing and transporting crude oil and natural gas and producing
and transporting refined products and chemical products involve many hazards. These hazards may result in:



| |  |  | fires;
| | - |  | ------



| |  |  | explosions;
| | - |  | -----------



| |  |  | spills;
| | - |  | -------



| |  |  | blow-outs; and
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | other unexpected or dangerous conditions causing personal injuries or death, property damage, environmental
damage and interruption of operations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of our oil and natural gas fields are surrounded by
residential areas or located in areas where natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and sandstorms, tend to occur more frequently than in other areas. As with many other companies around the world that conduct similar businesses, we have
experienced accidents that have caused property damage and personal injuries and death.

Significant operating hazards and
natural disasters such as earthquake, tsunami and health epidemics may cause partial interruptions to our operations and property and environmental damage that could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

Risks Related to Climate Change

In recent years, the oil industry has faced an increasingly severe challenge imposed by global climate change. Numerous
international, domestic and regional treaties and agreements that restrict the emission of greenhouse gas have been executed and become effective. China and some other countries in which we operate have adopted, or are considering the adoption
of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These include adoption of carbon emission quota and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards, and incentives or mandates for renewable energies. These requirements may
lead to a substantial increase in our expenditures, make our products more expensive, lengthen our project time, reduce the demand for hydrocarbons, and shift hydrocarbon demand toward relatively low carbon sources such as natural gas. Current and
pending greenhouse gas regulations may also increase our compliance costs, such as those for monitoring or sequestering emissions. As a result, our results of operations and our strategic investment may be adversely affected.

In November 2014, China and the United States made a joint announcement against the threat of climate change, whereunder China
undertook to reach the peak level of carbon emissions by 2030. In December 2015, China re-affirmed this target at the United Nations climate change conference held in Paris. On January 11, 2016, the National Development and Reform
Commission of China, or the NDRC, promulgated the Circular regarding Key Work for Initializing the National Carbon Emission Quota Exchange, which announced that China would initiate the national carbon quota trading system in 2017. As a
result, a majority of our subsidiaries operating in China may be subject to mandatory requirement with respect to carbon emission quota and trading, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Insurance

Due to the fact that oil industry is susceptible to high and industry-specific risks in
nature, the current ordinary commercial insurance cannot cover all the business areas in which we operate. We maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, potential losses. We may suffer material losses resulting from uninsurable
or uninsured risks or insufficient insurance coverage.

Risks Related to Oil and Gas Reserves

The crude oil and natural gas reserve data in this annual report are only estimates. The reliability of reserve estimates
depends on a number of factors, assumptions and variables, such as the quality and quantity of our



13



---

##### Table of Contents

technical and economic data and the prevailing oil and gas prices applicable to our production, some of which are beyond our control and may prove to be incorrect over time. Results of
drilling, testing and production after the date of estimates may require substantial upward or downward revisions in our reserve data. Our actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves may differ materially from
these estimates because of these revisions.

We are actively pursuing business opportunities outside China to improve our
international operations. We cannot assure you, however, that we can successfully locate sufficient, if any, alternative sources of crude oil supply due to the complexity of the international political, economic and other conditions. If we
fail to obtain sufficient alternative sources of crude oil supply, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Liquidity

We have made best endeavors to ensure an appropriate level of liquidity and financing ability. However, as we are
currently undergoing constructions in response to a peak in our oil and gas reserves, strengthening capacity building in key areas, constructing new, and expanding some existing, refinery and petrochemical facilities and constructing several natural
gas and oil pipelines, we may have to make substantial capital expenditures and investments. We cannot assure you that the cash generated by our operations will be sufficient to fund these development plans or that our actual future capital
expenditures and investments will not significantly exceed our current planned amounts. If either of these conditions arises, we may have to seek external financing to satisfy our capital needs. Our inability to obtain sufficient funding
for our development plans could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Effectiveness of
Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has adopted rules requiring every public company in the United States to include a management report on such companys internal control over financial reporting in its annual
report, which contains managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. Although our management concluded that our internal control over our financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was effective, and our independent registered public accounting firm
has issued an attestation report, which concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective in all material aspects as of December 31, 2015, we may discover other deficiencies in the course of our future evaluation of our
internal control over our financial reporting and may be unable to remediate such deficiencies in a timely manner. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to conclude that we have
effective internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal control is necessary for us to produce reliable financial
reports and is important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn
could harm our business and negatively impact the trading prices of our ADSs, H Shares or A Shares.

Risks Related to Audit Reports
Prepared by an Auditor who is not Inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

Auditors of companies
that are registered with the SEC and publicly traded in the United States, including our independent registered public accounting firm, must be registered with the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, and are
required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess their compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Our independent registered public accounting firm currently relies
on the Chinese



14



---

##### Table of Contents

member firm of the KPMG network for assistance in completing the audit work associated with our operation in China. The Chinese member firm of our independent registered public
accounting firm is located in China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, and the Chinese member firm of our independent registered public accounting firm is not
currently inspected by the PCAOB. As a result, investors do not have the benefits of PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in the PRC makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our
auditors audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside the PRC that are subject to PCAOB inspections.

Risks Related to SEC Litigation Against the Big Four PRC-based Accounting Firms

On January 22, 2014, Judge Cameron Elliot, an SEC administrative law judge, issued an initial decision suspending the Chinese
member firms of the Big Four accounting firms, including KPMG network, from, among other things, practicing before the SEC for six months. In February 2014, the initial decision was appealed. While under appeal and in February 2015, the
Chinese member firms of Big Four accounting firms reached a settlement with the SEC. As part of the settlement, each of the Chinese member firms of Big Four accounting firms agreed to settlement terms that include a censure,
undertakings to make a payment to the SEC, procedures and undertakings as to future requests for documents by the SEC and possible additional proceedings and remedies should those undertakings not be adhered to.

Our independent registered public accounting firm currently relies on the Chinese member firm of the KPMG network for
assistance in completing the audit work associated with our operations in China. If the settlement terms are not adhered to, the Chinese member firms of Big Four accounting firms may be suspended from practicing before the SEC, which
could in turn delay the timely filing of our annual report including our financial statements with the SEC. In addition, it could be difficult for us to timely identify and engage another qualified independent auditor to replace KPMG. A delinquency
in our filing of the annual report with the SEC may result in the NYSEs initiating delisting procedures, which could adversely harm our reputation and have other material adverse effects on our overall growth and prospect.

Risks Related to Employee Misconduct

We may not be able to detect or prevent employee misconduct, including misconduct by senior management, and such misconduct may
damage our reputation and could adversely affect the trading price of our ordinary shares and ADSs.

We have gradually
reinforced and enhanced our internal control and corporate governance policies and procedures in order to strengthen our ability to detect and prevent employee misconduct. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to detect or prevent such
misconduct in a timely fashion, or at all. If we fail to prevent employee misconduct, our reputation may be harmed, and the trading price of our ordinary shares and ADSs could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Cyber Security

Our activities depend heavily on the reliability and security of our information technology (IT) systems. If the
integrity of our IT systems were compromised due to technical failure, cyber attack, computer intrusions and viruses, power or network outages or natural disasters, our activities and assets could sustain serious damage, material intellectual
property could be divulged and, in some cases, personal injury, environmental harm and regulatory violations could occur, potentially having a material adverse effect on our business and financial conditions.

Item 4INFORMATION
ON THE COMPANY

Introduction

History and Development of Our Company

Our legal name is 


LOGO
 and its English translation is PetroChina Company Limited.

We are the largest oil and
gas producer and seller occupying a leading position in the oil and gas industry in the PRC and one of the largest companies in the world. We are engaged in a broad range of petroleum and natural gas related activities, including the
exploration, development, production and marketing of crude oil and natural gas; the refining of crude oil and petroleum products, as well as the production and marketing of basic petrochemical products, derivative chemical products and other
chemical products; the marketing of refined oil products and trading; and the transmission of natural gas, crude oil and refined oil products as well as the sale of natural gas.

Currently, substantially all of our crude oil and natural gas reserves and
production-related assets are located in China. Our exploration, development and production activities commenced in the early 1950s. Over more than six decades, we have conducted crude oil and
natural gas exploration activities in many regions of China.

We commenced limited refining activities in the mid-1950s. Our chemicals operations commenced in the early 1950s. In the early 1960s, we began producing ethylene. Our natural gas transmission and marketing activities commenced in Sichuan in
southwestern China in the 1950s.

We have increased our efforts to pursue attractive business opportunities outside China
as part of our business growth strategy to utilize both domestic and international resources to strengthen our competitiveness. Since 2005, we have acquired interests in various oil and natural gas assets in several countries, which
significantly expanded our overseas operations and effectively increased our oil and gas reserves and production volumes. We are currently assessing the feasibility of making further investments in international oil and gas markets. At the
same time, we have been maintaining certain proportion of imported crude oil and natural gas in accordance with our needs. In 2015, we imported approximately 488.6 million barrels of crude oil, compared to 435.6 million barrels and 476.5
million barrels of crude oil in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We were established as a joint stock company with limited
liability under the Company Law of the PRC on November 5, 1999 as part of a restructuring in which CNPC transferred to us most of the assets and liabilities of CNPC relating to its exploration and production, refining and marketing, chemicals and
natural gas businesses.

On April 7, 2000, we completed a global offering of H Shares and ADSs. In September 2005, we
completed a follow-on offering of over 3 billion H Shares at the price of HK$6.00 per share. In October 2007, we issued 4 billion A Shares at an issue price of RMB 16.7 per share. The A Shares
were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on November 5, 2007. As of December 31, 2015, CNPC beneficially owned 158,325,211,528 shares in us, which included 291,518,000 H Shares indirectly held by CNPC through Fairy King Investments
Limited, an overseas wholly owned subsidiary of CNPC, representing approximately 86.507% of the share capital of us.

For
a description of our principal subsidiaries, see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements.

Exploration and Production

We engage in crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. Substantially all of our total estimated
proved crude oil and natural gas reserves are located in China, principally in northeastern, northern, southwestern and northwestern China. Meanwhile, we have enhanced our overseas cooperation and expanded our strategic presence in five major
overseas oil and gas cooperation regions by conducting new project development. In the year ended December 31, 2015, the crude oil and natural gas produced by us at overseas regions accounted for 17.0% and 7.3% of our total production of
crude oil and natural gas expressed in BOE, respectively.

We currently hold exploration and exploitation licenses for oil
and gas (including coal seam gas) covering a total area of approximately 358.1 million acres, including the exploration licenses covering a total area of approximately 329.8 million acres and the exploitation licenses covering a total area of
approximately 28.3 million acres.

The following table sets forth the financial and operating data of our exploration
and production segment for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015:

Reserves

Our estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2015 totaled approximately 8,521.1 million barrels of crude oil and
approximately 77,524.7 Bcf of natural gas. As of December 31, 2015, proved developed reserves for crude oil and natural gas accounted for 72.7% and 52.1% of our total proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, respectively. Total
proved hydrocarbon reserves, including our overseas crude oil reserves of 871.3 million BOE and overseas natural gas reserves of 1,666.1 Bcf, totaling 1,149.0 million BOE, decreased by 4.5% from approximately 22,443.0 million BOE as of
December 31, 2014 to approximately 21,441.9 million BOE as of December 31, 2015. Natural gas as a percentage of total proved hydrocarbon reserves increased from 52.8% as of December 31, 2014 to 60.3% as of December 31,
2015.

We prepared our reserve estimates as of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 on the basis of reports prepared by
independent engineering consultants, namely DeGolyer and MacNaughton, Ryder Scott Company, L.P., GLJ Petroleum Consultants, Gaffney, Cline & Associates (Consultants) Pte Ltd, Gaffney, Cline & Associates, Inc. and McDaniel & Associates
Consultants Ltd. Our reserve estimates include only crude oil and natural gas which we believe can be reasonably produced within the current terms of our production licenses or within the terms of the licenses which we are reasonably certain can be
renewed. See Regulatory Matters  Exploration Licenses and Production Licenses for a discussion of our production licenses. Also see Item 3  Key Information  Risk Factors  Risks Related to Oil and Gas
Reserves for a discussion of the uncertainty inherent in the estimation of proved reserves.

Our reserve data in
2013, 2014 and 2015 were prepared in accordance with the SECs final rules on Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting.

Internal Controls Over Reserves Estimates

We have appointed a Reserve Assessment Directing Team, or the RAD Team. The leader of the RAD Team is our vice president
in charge of our upstream business.

In recent years, we have been implementing a practicing professional certification
regime to supervise our employees engaged in oil and gas reserve evaluation and auditing functions. We have set up a team of reserve assessors and auditors covering our headquarter office and regional companies to perform reserve estimates
and audits. Meanwhile, we have established a special reserve management department in our exploration and production segment. Each of the officers and employees of that department has over 20 years experience in oil industry and over
10 years experience in SEC-guided reserve evaluation. Many members of that department have national-level registered qualifications in reserve
expertise. Each regional company has established a reserve management committee and a multi-disciplinary reserve research office. Mr. Zhang Junfeng, the Director of the Reserve Administration
Department of the exploration and production segment, is in charge of the reserve estimation of our company. Mr. Zhang holds a doctorate degree in geology. He has over 20 years of work experience in oil and gas exploration and
development. Since 2009, Mr. Zhang has been the expert primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserves estimates and oil and gas reserve estimation technology and management. The reserve research offices of the
regional companies are responsible for estimating newly discovered reserves and updating the estimates of existing reserves. The results of our oil and gas reserve assessment are subject to a
two-level review by both the regional companies and our exploration and production company, with final examination and approval by the RAD Team.

In addition, we commissioned independent assessment firms to independently reassess our annually assessed proved reserves in
accordance with relevant SEC rules. We disclose the assessments of independent assessment firms in accordance with the SEC requirements.

##### Table of Contents

Our proved undeveloped reserves were 8,511.7 million BOE in 2015. The main
changes in our proved undeveloped reserves in 2015 included (i) an increase of 2,084.3 million BOE through extensions and discoveries; (ii) an increase of 105.6 million BOE through improved recovery; (iii) a decrease of 1,065.0 million BOE through
revisions due to the factors including the drop of crude oil price; and (iv) the conversion of 1,831.9 million BOE of proved undeveloped reserves into proved developed reserves. In 2015, we spent RMB102,790 million on developing proved
undeveloped reserves. The overwhelming majority of our proved undeveloped reserves were situated around the oil fields that are currently producing. The majority of our proved undeveloped reserves are already scheduled for development
within five years after initial booking.

Some of our natural gas proved undeveloped reserves are being developed more
than five years after their initial disclosure primarily due to the effect of long-term natural gas supply contracts. The sale of natural gas produced from our reserves located in China is subject to our long-term contractual obligations to provide a stable supply of natural gas to customers. We sell all of the natural gas through our pipelines and under long-term supply
arrangements with customers.

There are mainly two types of long-term supply
arrangements. The first is multi-year supply contracts with terms ranging from 20 to 30 years that can be extended upon mutual agreement. The second type is renewable annual contracts. The
majority of the natural gas produced from our gas fields in China is put into our nationwide, long-range pipeline system and sold to customers who have entered into
multi-year supply contracts with us in the areas where the long-range pipeline system covers. A small portion of the natural gas produced by our company is put into
local or internal pipeline systems and sold to customers in the areas adjacent to our gas fields. These customers typically have formed de-facto long-term
relationships with our company over the years and enter into supply contracts with us before the year end to determine the amount of gas to be purchased for the next year, with such contracts being renewed every year. In general, our supply
relationships with customers under the annual contracts have existed for more than ten years.

Mainly as a result of our
contractual obligations to ensure a long-term, stable supply of natural gas to customers, we must maintain a relatively large amount of proved undeveloped natural gas reserves and develop them over an extended
period of time (in some cases, longer than five years).

The following tables set forth our crude oil and natural gas
proved reserves and proved developed reserves by region as of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Given the significant decline of oil price in 2015, we and our outside reserve consultant performed
tests with respect to the sensitivity of our domestic reserves to oil prices pursuant to the industry standards and the SEC reserve rules. We used the price scenarios of US$ 70 per barrel and the 12-month average oil prices in 2014 and 2015 for the
tests, respectively, while kept the average gas price, the lifting cost and other relevant factors in 2015 unchanged. The following table sets forth our domestic reserves as of December 31, 2015 under the different price scenarios.



|                                   |  |                   |         |  |             |  |          |               |  |  |          |

|Price Scenario                     |  | Crude Oil         |         |  | Natural Gas |  |          | Total         | 
|                                   |  | (million barrels) |         |  | (Bcf)       |  |          | (million BOE) | 
|US$70/barrel                       |  |                   | 9,322.4 |  |             |  | 76,122.9 |               |  |  | 22,009.5 | 
|12-month average oil price in 2014 |  |                   | 9,950.8 |  |             |  | 76,203.9 |               |  |  | 22,651.4 | 
|12-month average oil price in 2015 |  |                   | 7,714.1 |  |             |  | 75,864.6 |               |  |  | 20,358.2 | 

By comparing the result using the 12-month average oil price in 2014 and that using the
12-month average price in 2015, our domestic proved reserve decreased by 2,293.2 million BOE as of December 31, 2015. Under the US$70 scenario, our total domestic proved reserve was 22,009.5 million BOE as of December 31, 2015; and the domestic
replacement ratio was 141% and the reserve-to-production ratio was 16.98 years. We believe that we will continue to have a positive domestic reserve base on an ongoing basis.

Exploration and Development

We are currently conducting exploration and development efforts in 12 provinces, two municipalities under the direct
administration of the central government and three autonomous regions in China as well as in certain regions in other countries. We believe that we have more extensive experience in the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas
than any of our principal competitors in China.

Principal Oil and Gas Regions

Daqing Oil Region

The Daqing oil region, our largest oil and gas producing property, is located in the Songliao basin and covers an area of
approximately one million acres. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, our crude oil production volume in the Daqing oil region was 797.5 thousand barrels, 792.3 thousand barrels and 755.8 thousand barrels per day, respectively. As of December 31,
2015, we produced crude oil from 40 fields in the Daqing oil region.

As of December 31, 2015, our proved crude oil
reserves in the Daqing oil region were 1,804.7 million barrels, representing 21.2% of our total proved crude oil reserves. As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, the proved crude oil reserves in our Daqing oil region were 2,484.9 million barrels and
2,267.1 million barrels, respectively. In 2015, the crude oil reserve-to-production ratio of the Daqing oil region was 6.4 years.

Daqings crude oil has low sulfur and high paraffin content. As many refineries in China, particularly those in
northeastern China, are configured to refine Daqing crude oil, we have a stable market for the crude oil we produce in the Daqing oil region.

Changqing Oil and Gas Region

The Changqing oil and gas region covers parts of Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi
Province. As of December 31, 2015, our proved crude oil reserves in the Changqing oil region were 2,186.0 million barrels, representing 25.7% of our total proved crude oil reserves. In 2015, our crude oil production in the Changqing
oil region averaged 502.0 thousand barrels per day, representing approximately 18.9% of our total daily crude oil production. In 2015, the crude oil
reserve-to-production ratio at the Changqing oil region was 11.9 years.

|(1) | Represents the primary distillation capacity of crude oil and condensate.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

In each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the average utilization rate of the primary distillation capacity
at our refineries was 87.3%, 86.1% and 84.2%, respectively, and the average yield for our four principal refined products (gasoline, kerosene, diesel and lubricants) at our refineries was 68.6%, 68.9% and 69.0%, respectively. Yield
represents the number of tons of a refined product expressed as a percentage of the number of tons of crude oil from which that product is processed. In each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the yield for all refined products at
our refineries was 93.4%, 93.8% and 93.8%, respectively.

Dalian Petrochemical, Lanzhou Petrochemical, Dushanzi
Petrochemical, Guangxi Petrochemical, Sichuan Petrochemical, Fushun Petrochemical and Jilin Petrochemical were our leading refineries in terms of both primary distillation capacity and refining throughput in 2015.

To maintain efficient operations of our facilities and lower production costs, we have endeavored to achieve the most cost-efficient proportions of various types of crude oil in our refining process. We purchase a portion of our crude oil requirements from third-party international
suppliers located in different countries and regions. In 2015, we purchased crude oil sourced from Rosneft, a Russian company which is subject to U.S. economic sanctions, and from Sudan, which is on the U.S. sanction list, for use in our refining
operations. The revenue generated from our refinery from the crude oil sourced from Rosneft and Sudan accounted for 2.45% and 0.04% of our total revenue in 2015, respectively. See Item 3  Key Information  Risk Factors
 Risks Related to Outbound Investments and Trading

Chemicals

Most of our chemical plants are close to our refineries and are connected to the refineries by pipelines, providing additional
production flexibility and opportunities for cost competitiveness. The raw materials required by our chemicals operations have been supplied by our own refineries.

Our Principal Markets for Natural Gas

We sell our natural gas in the whole country of China and our principal markets are the northern, eastern and southwestern
regions of China and the Pearl River Delta area.

Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality are two of our principal
markets for natural gas in southwest China. We supply natural gas to Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality from our exploration and production operations in the Chuanyu oil and gas region. Beijing Municipality, Tianjin Municipality,
Hebei Province and Shandong Province in northern China have relatively high energy consumption levels. These areas are important markets for our natural gas transmission and marketing business. We supply natural gas to these areas
primarily from the Changqing oil region through the Shaanxi to Beijing natural gas pipeline.

Shanghai Municipality,
Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and Anhui Province located in Yangtze River Delta of eastern China, and Henan Province and Hubei Province located in the central China have become our significant natural gas markets.

We committed to provide approximately 4,590.9 Bcf of natural gas in 2016. However, the committed quantity of supply may
be adjusted by the buyers in light of the actual situation.

Driven by environmental and efficiency concerns, the PRC
government is increasingly encouraging industrial and residential use of natural gas to meet primary energy and environmental protection needs. The PRC government has adopted a number of laws and regulations to require municipal governments to
increase the use of clean energy, such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, to replace the use of raw coal. Several local governments, including that of Beijing, have adopted policies to facilitate an increase in natural gas consumption
in order to reduce the air pollution level. The PRC government has also adopted a preferential value-added tax rate of 13% for natural gas production as compared to a 17%
value-added tax rate for crude oil production.

We believe that these policies
have had a positive effect on the development and consumption of natural gas in many municipalities that are our existing or potential markets for natural gas. We believe that these favorable policies will continue to benefit our natural gas
business.

Natural Gas Transmission Infrastructure

As of December 31, 2015, we owned and operated approximately 48,629 kilometers of natural gas pipelines in China. Our natural
gas pipelines represent the vast majority of Chinas onshore natural gas pipelines. Our existing natural gas pipelines form a national trunk network for natural gas supply and the regional natural gas supply networks in northwestern,
southwestern, northern and central China as well as the Yangtze River Delta.

The First West-East Gas
Pipeline

The construction of the First West-East Gas Pipeline commenced
officially in July 2002 and was completed and put into operation on October 1, 2004. The main line of our West-East Gas Pipeline links our natural gas fields in Xinjiang and Changqing with Henan Province,
Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai Municipality and other areas in the Yangtze River Delta. It is designed to mainly transmit the natural gas produced at Tarim oil region to Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The First West-East Gas Pipeline includes one main line, three main branch lines and numerous accessory branch lines, and two underground storage facilities, with a total length of 5,778 kilometers, of which the main line has
a total length of 3,833 kilometers. The First West-East Gas Pipeline has a designed annual throughput capacity of 600.4 Bcf.

The Second West-East Gas Pipeline

In February 2008, we commenced the construction of the Second West-East Gas
Pipeline. The west section of the Second West-East Gas Pipeline was put into operation in December 2009. In June 2011, the east section was put into operation. By the end of 2012, the main line
and branch lines as well as the Hong Kong branch line of the Second West-East Gas Pipeline were all completed and put into operation. The Second West-East Gas Pipeline includes one main line, eight main branch
lines and numerous accessory branch lines and three underground storage facilities, with a total length of 8,218 kilometers. The main line of the Second West-East Gas Pipeline has a length of 4,877
kilometers. The western section of the main line extends from Horgos to Zhongwei with a length of 2,325 kilometers and a designed annual throughput capacity of 1,059.5 Bcf. The eastern section of the main line extends from Zhongwei to
Guangzhou with a length of 2,552 kilometers and a designed annual throughput capacity of 988.8 Bcf.

The Third
West-East Gas Pipeline

The main line of the Third West-East Gas Pipeline
extends from Horgos to Fuzhou via Zhongwei. It consists of five main branch lines, including the Yining-Horgos Line, and numerous accessory branch lines, with a total length of 6,840 kilometers and a designed annual throughput capacity of
1,059.4 Bcf. By the end of 2014, the western section of the Third West-East Gas Pipeline that extends from Horgos to Zhongwei was completed, with a length of 2,459 kilometers. The eastern section which extends from Jian to Fuzhou is 829
kilometers long and is scheduled to be completed and put into operation by second half of 2016.

In addition, we also
operate other natural gas pipelines, such as the Zhong County-to-Wuhan natural gas pipeline, the first, the second and the third Shaanxi-to-Beijing natural gas pipelines and Sebei-to-Lanzhou natural gas pipelines.

Crude Oil Transportation
Infrastructure

We have an extensive network for the transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, which
covers many regions of China. As of December 31, 2015, we had crude oil pipelines of 18,892 kilometers.

Russia to China Crude Oil Pipeline

In May 2009, we commenced the construction of the Russia to China crude oil transmission pipeline (the Mohe-to-Daqing section) upon the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, or NDRC. In



37

##### Table of Contents

September 2010, we completed construction of the entire line and put it into commercial production in January 2011. We were the builder and operator of the section crossing the Heilongjiang River
and the section which lies in China. This pipeline extends from the Skovorodino off-take station of Russias Far East Pipeline through Galinda at the Russian border, Heilongjiang Province, and Inner
Mongolia, to Daqing terminal station. This pipeline is 935 kilometers long and has a designed annual transmission capacity of 15 million tons. In February 2016, the second Russia-to-China oil pipeline from Mohe to Daqing was approved by the
NDRC, the construction of which is expected to be completed by 2017 with a length of 955 kilometers and a designed annual transmission capacity of 15 million tons.

In addition, we also operate other crude oil pipelines, including the western crude oil pipeline, the northeastern crude oil
pipeline network and the Lancheng crude oil pipeline.

Refined Product Transportation Infrastructure

As of December 31, 2015, we had refined product pipelines of 10,091 kilometers.

The
Lanzhou-to-Zhengzhou-to-Changsha Pipeline

We received approval from the NDRC for and commenced construction of the Lanzhou-to-Zhengzhou-to-Changsha refined oil pipeline in December 2007. The pipeline starts from Lanzhou of Gansu Province
and terminates at Changsha of Hunan Province, with a total length of 3,142 kilometers, including the length of all the main lines and branch lines. We finished construction and commenced the operation of the section from Lanzhou to Zhengzhou in
April 2009 and the section from Zhengzhou to Wuhan in August 2009. The construction of all the main line and branch lines was completed by October 2013.

In addition, we also operate other refined product pipelines, such as the refined product pipelines for western regions and Lanzhou-to-Chengdu-to-Chongqing refined product pipeline.

During the past three years, we have not experienced any delays in delivering natural gas, crude oil and refined products due
to pipeline capacity constraints.

Competition

As an oil and gas company operating in a competitive industry, we compete in each of our business segments in both China and
international markets for desirable business prospects and for customers. Our principal competitors in China are China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, or Sinopec, and CNOOC.

Exploration and Production Operations

We are the largest onshore oil and gas company in China in terms of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves as well as crude
oil and natural gas production and sales. However, we compete with other domestic oil and gas companies for the acquisition of desirable crude oil and natural gas prospects. Similarly, we face some competition in the development of
offshore oil and gas resources. In addition, the gradual development of the low-cost shale gas and shale oil in the United States has had a material effect on our business. We believe that our experience in crude oil and natural gas
exploration and production and our advanced exploration and development technologies that are suitable for diverse geological conditions in China will enable us to maintain our dominant position in discovering and developing crude oil and natural
gas reserves in China.

Refining and Chemicals Operations and Marketing Operations

We compete with Sinopec in our refining and chemicals operations and marketing operations on the basis of price, quality and
customer service. Most of our refineries and chemical plants are located in the northeastern and



38

##### Table of Contents

northwestern regions of China where we have the dominant market share for refined products and chemical products. We sell the remainder of our refined products and chemical products to the
eastern, southern, southwestern and central-southern regions of China, where our products have a considerable market share. The eastern and southern regions of China, where refined products and chemical
products are in higher demand, are important markets for our refined products and chemical products. Sinopec has a strong presence in the eastern and southern regions of China in competition with us, and most of Sinopecs refineries, chemical
plants and distribution networks are located in these regions in close proximity to these markets. Moreover, as the newly constructed facilities of CNOOC commenced operation in the same region, large quantity of chemical products have been marketed
into that area. We expect that we will continue to face competition in our refined products and chemical products sales in these regions.

As a result of Chinas recent policies towards diversification of market participants, we also face competition from new
market participants. Over the recent years, large state-owned enterprises, such as Sinochem Group and China North Industries Group Corporation, have entered the refinery sector and local independent refineries have been growing
rapidly. The refinery sector in China, which had long been dominated by us and Sinopec, has been more competitive.

We also face competition from imported refined products and chemical products in terms of price and quality. In recent
years, competition from foreign producers of refined products and chemical products has increased and the retail and wholesale markets in China for refined products and chemical products have been gradually opened to foreign competition as tariff
and non-tariff barriers for imported refined products and chemical products are being lifted over time. For example, sales of chemical products imported from the Middle East have had increased rapidly in
China in recent years. In response, we have to reduce our production costs, improve the quality of our products and optimize our product mix.

In addition, we also face competition from alternative energies. For example, electric car, as a clean means of transport
with zero pollution and zero emission has won the favor of the government. The central and local governments have imposed restrictions on oil-powered cars, while encouraged electricity-powered cars. The alternative
energy-powered cars, especially electric cars, will continue to grow at a high rate in 2016. Despite the issues such as immature technologies, short range and limited infrastructure with respect to electric cars, with the importance attached by
the central government to the development of electric car batteries and electric car technologies and the focus given by the local government to the construction of electric car charging infrastructure, the advantages of electric cars will be fully
demonstrated in the future. As a result, the impact of the innovation of electric cars on us will become increasingly obvious.

Natural Gas and
Pipeline Operations

We are the largest natural gas supplier in the PRC in terms of sales volume. Currently,
we face competition from Sinopec, CNOOC, coal-based natural gas producers and other companies in the supply of natural gas to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Province, Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Henan
Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province and the northwestern regions of China, our existing principal markets for natural gas. Currently, Sinopec has natural gas fields in Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality and sells natural gas to
users in places such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. We have also expanded into the coastal regions in southeastern China where we may face competition from CNOOC and Sinopec. We believe that our dominant
natural gas resources base, our relatively advanced technologies and our skills in managing long distance pipelines will enable us to continue to be a dominant player in the natural gas markets in China.

Environmental Matters

Like other companies in the industries in which we operate, we are subject to numerous national, regional and local
environmental laws and regulations promulgated by the governments in those jurisdictions. These laws and regulations concern our oil and gas exploration and production operations, petroleum and petrochemical products and other
activities. In particular, some of these laws and regulations:



| |  |  | require an environmental evaluation report to be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of
exploration, production, refining and chemical projects;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrict the type, quantities, and concentration of various substances that can be released into the
environment in connection with drilling and production activities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit or prohibit drilling activities within protected areas and certain other areas; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | impose penalties for pollution resulting from oil, natural gas and petrochemical operations, including
criminal and civil liabilities for serious pollution.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These laws and regulations may also restrict air
emissions and discharges to surface and subsurface water resulting from the operation of natural gas processing plants, chemical plants, refineries, pipeline systems and other facilities that we own. In addition, our operations are subject to
laws and regulations relating to the generation, handling, storage, transportation, disposal and treatment of solid waste materials.

We anticipate that the environmental laws and regulations to which we are subject will become increasingly strict and are
therefore likely to have an increasing impact on our operations. It is difficult, however, to predict accurately the effect of future developments in such laws and regulations on our future earnings and operations. Some risk of
environmental costs and liabilities is inherent in our operations and products, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses. We cannot assure you that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred. However, we do not
currently expect any material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of compliance with such laws and regulations. We paid pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB378 million, RMB385 million and
RMB347 million, in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

To meet future environmental obligations, we are engaged in a
continuous program to develop effective environmental protection measures. This program includes research on:



| |  |  | building environment-friendly projects;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | reducing sulfur levels in gasoline and diesel fuel;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reducing paraffin and benzene content in gasoline, and continuously reducing the quantity of emissions and
effluents from our refineries and petrochemical plants; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developing and installing monitoring systems at our pollutant discharge openings and developing environmental
impact assessments for construction projects.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our capital expenditures on environmental programs in
2013, 2014 and 2015 were approximately RMB2.55 billion, RMB4.00 billion and RMB4.14 billion, respectively.

Because a
number of our production facilities are located in populated areas, we have established a series of preventative measures to improve the safety of our employees and surrounding residents and minimize disruptions or other adverse effects on our
business. These measures include:



| |  |  | providing each household in areas surrounding our production facilities with printed materials to explain and
illustrate safety and protection knowledge and skills; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enhancing the implementation of various effective safety production measures we have adopted previously.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We believe that these preventative measures have helped reduce the possibility of
incidents that may result in serious casualties and environmental consequences. In addition, the adoption of these preventative measures has not required significant capital expenditures to date, and therefore, will not have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Legal Proceedings

On September 3 and 6, 2013, two respective class action complaints were filed with the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York (the District Court) against us and certain of our former and current directors and senior management for alleged violations of the securities laws of the United States. These complaints were filed in
light of PRC authorities investigation into certain of our former directors and senior management.

On April 4,
2014, the District Court entered an order to consolidate the related actions and appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel.

On June 6, 2014, the lead plaintiff submitted a revised complaint whereby our current directors and senior management were
removed from the complaint and the individual defendants only include the former directors and senior management. The relevant charges set out in the complaint were basically the same as those in the previous complaint.

On August 5, 2014, in view of the revised complaint, we filed a motion to dismiss.

On November 24, 2014, upon approval by the court, the U.S. plaintiff further submitted a revised complaint.

In view of the complaint, we filed another motion to dismiss on February 13, 2015.

On April 10, 2015, the District Court held a pre-motion conference to discuss the plaintiffs request for submission of
supplemental pleadings, and the District Court dismissed the plaintiffs request.

On May 22, 2015, we filed a Reply
Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion with the District Court in response to the plaintiffs filing of a Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Motion.

On August 3, 2015, the District Court issued an Opinion and Order, granting our motion to dismiss, and directing termination
of the motion and the closing of the case.

On August 10, 2015, pursuant to the U.S. federal court procedure rules, the
plaintiff filed notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) from the judgment entered by the Court.

On November 19, 2015, we filed Opposition Brief in response to the plaintiffs Appeal Brief.

On December 3, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Reply Memorandum of Law with the Second Circuit.

On March 16, 2016, an oral examination session was conducted at the Second Circuit.

On March 21, 2016, the Panel of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a Summary Order and Judgment affirming the
judgment of the District Court, thus supporting the dismissal by the District Court of the

plaintiffs complaint. The plaintiff has right within 90 days from the date of the said court order to request for certiorari by the Supreme Court of the United States with regard to the
decision by the Second Circuit.

Our normal course of business has not been affected by these complaints. We will
proactively and vigorously contest the complaint with our best efforts to protect our legitimate rights and interests.

In
addition to the foregoing, we are involved in several legal proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe, based on currently available information, that these proceedings, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Properties

We own substantially all of our properties, plants and equipment relating to our business activities. We hold exploration and
production licenses covering all of our interests in developed and undeveloped acreage, oil and natural gas wells and relevant facilities.

Intellectual Property

Our company logo 


LOGO
 is jointly owned by us and CNPC and has been used since December 26, 2004. Together with CNPC, we have applied for trademark registrations of the logo with the State Trademark Bureau of the PRC. To
date, several of our applications have been approved and others are either in the process of review or public announcement phase. In addition, together with CNPC, we have applied for international trademark registration for our logo in other
jurisdictions. We have received 121 International Trademark Registration Certificates for our logo covering more than 50 jurisdictions.

As of December 31, 2015, we owned approximately 9,400 patents in China and other jurisdictions. We were granted 2,505
patents in China in 2015.

Regulatory Matters

Overview

Chinas
oil and gas industry is subject to extensive regulation by the PRC government with respect to exploration, production, transmission and marketing of crude oil and natural gas as well as production, transportation and marketing of refined products
and chemical products. The following central government authorities exercise control over Chinas oil and gas industry:



| |  |  | The Ministry of Land and Resources, or the MLR, has the authority to grant, examine and approve oil and gas
exploration and production licenses, and to oversee the registration and transfer of exploration and production licenses;

Exploration Licenses and Production Licenses

The Mineral Resources Law authorizes the MLR to exercise administrative authority over the exploration and production of
mineral resources within the PRC. The Mineral Resources Law and its supplementary regulations provide the basic legal framework under which exploration licenses and production licenses are granted. The MLR has the authority to issue
exploration licenses and production licenses. Applicants must be companies approved by the State Council to engage in oil and gas exploration and production activities.

Applicants for exploration licenses must first register with the MLR blocks in which they intend to engage in exploration
activities. The holder of an exploration license is obligated to make a progressively increasing annual minimum exploration investment in each corresponding block. Investments range from RMB2,000 per square kilometer for the initial year
to RMB5,000 per square kilometer for the second year, and to RMB10,000 per square kilometer for the third and subsequent years. Additionally, the holder has to pay an annual exploration license fee that starts at RMB100 per square
kilometer for each of the first three years and increases by an additional RMB100 per square kilometer per year for subsequent years up to a maximum of RMB500 per square kilometer. The maximum term of an oil and natural gas exploration license
is seven years, subject to renewal upon expiration of the original term, with each renewal being up to two years. At the exploration stage, an applicant can also apply for a progressive exploration and production license that allows the holder
to test and develop reserves not yet fully proven. Upon the detection and confirmation of the quantity of reserves in a certain block, the holder must apply for a production license based on economic evaluation, market conditions and
development planning in order to shift into the production phase in a timely fashion. In addition, the holder needs to obtain the right to use that block of land. Generally, the holder of a full production license must obtain a land use
rights certificate for industrial land use covering that block of land.

The MLR issues production licenses to applicants
on the basis of the reserve reports approved by the relevant authorities. Production license holders are required to pay an annual production right usage fee of RMB1,000 per square kilometer. Administrative rules issued by the State
Council provide that the maximum term of a production license is 30 years. In accordance with a special approval from the State Council, the MLR has issued production licenses with terms coextensive with the projected productive life of the
assessed proven reserves as discussed above. Each of our production licenses is renewable upon our application 30 days prior to expiration. If oil and gas prices increase, the productive life of our crude oil and natural gas reservoirs may
be extended beyond the current terms of the relevant production licenses.

Among the major PRC oil and gas companies, the
exploration licenses and production licenses held by us, Sinopec and CNOOC account for the majority of mining rights in China. Among those companies, we and Sinopec primarily engage in onshore exploration and production, while CNOOC primarily
engages in offshore exploration and production.

Pricing

Crude Oil

We and Sinopec set the crude oil median prices each month based on the average international market FOB prices for crude oil of
different grades in the previous month. In addition, PetroChina and Sinopec negotiate a premium or discount to reflect transportation costs, the differences in oil quality and the supply and demand.

Refined Products

The prices of our gasoline and diesel products are set by the government.

On December 18, 2008, the NDRC issued the Notice on Implementing Price and Tax Reform of Refined Oil,which
improved the pricing mechanism for refined oil products. Under the improved mechanism, the domestic ex-factory prices of refined oil products are determined on the basis of the relevant international crude oil prices, by taking into consideration
the average domestic processing cost, tax and a pre-determined profit margin. The prices of diesel and gasoline continue to follow the government guiding prices. The highest retail price set for gasoline and diesel is calculated by using the
relevant ex-factory price and a determined profit margin for retailing activities.

On March 26, 2013, the NDRC issued the
Notice on Further Improvement of Refined Oil Pricing Mechanismand the amended and restated Measures for Oil Prices Management (on trial). Under this new system, (i) the price adjustment period was shortened from 22 working days
to 10 and the 4% limit on the price adjustment range was eliminated; (ii) the composition of the basket of crudes to which refined oil products prices are linked was adjusted in light of the composition of the imported crudes and changes in crudes
trading on the international market; and (iii) the refined oil products pricing mechanism was further enhanced.

In order
to promote the oil product quality upgrading, on September 16, 2013, the NDRC issued the Circular regarding Relevant Opinions on the Pricing Policy for Oil Product Quality Upgrading, pursuant to which the price increase standard for the
auto-use gasoline and diesel upgraded to China IV Standard shall be set as RMB290 per ton and RMB370 per ton, respectively, and the price increase standard for the auto-use gasoline and diesel upgraded from China IV to China V Standard shall be set
at RMB170 per ton and RMB160 per ton, respectively.

On January 13, 2016, the NDRC issued the Notice on Issues
Concerning Further Improving the Refined Oil Price for the Establishment of the Refined Oil Price Mechanism, pursuant to which, starting from January 13, 2016, downward adjustment of the refined oil price is subject to a floor of US$40 per
barrel. Accordingly, when the international crude oil price drops to US$40 per barrel or below, the refined oil price in China shall not be adjusted downwards and the unadjusted amount shall be allocated to the reserve fund to be used for energy
saving, reduction of emission, improving the oil quality and securing a safe supply of refined oil. When the international crude oil price surges to US$130 per barrel or above, appropriate financial and taxation policies shall be adopted to ensure
the production and supply of refined oil but the refined oil price shall in principle remain unadjusted or shall only be slightly adjusted upwards. This regulation also liberalized the ex-factory price of liquefied petroleum gas.

Chemical Products

We determine the prices of all of our chemical products based on market conditions.

Natural Gas

On June 28, 2013, the NDRC announced the initiation of a program for adjustment of natural gas prices from July 10,
2013. The program consists of (i) changing pricing mechanism of natural gas from ex-factory price

to citygate price, and no longer differentiating the prices payable by the users in different provinces; (ii) establishment of the mechanism linking the citygate price of natural gas to the price
of alternative energy with a view to gradually shift to a market-driven pricing mechanism for natural gas; (iii) adopting differential pricing approaches towards the existing usage and the incremental usage so as to establish as soon as practicable
a new pricing mechanism for natural gas while reducing the impact that the pricing reform will have on existing gas users.

On August 10, 2014, based on the natural gas price reform roadmap, the NDRC issued price adjustment programs for
non-residential use stock natural gas, pursuant to which, effective from September 1, 2014, (i) the natural gas citygate price for non-residential uses was increased by RMB400 per thousand cubic meters; (ii) no adjustment will be made to the
citygate price for natural gas consumed by residential users; and (iii) further actions will be taken to implement the policy in connection with the liberalization of the sales price of imported liquefied natural gas and the ex-factory prices for
shale gas, coal-seam gas and coal gas.

On February 26, 2015, the NDRC announced the unification of the prices of domestic
natural gas of existing and incremental gas volume starting from April 1, 2015.

On November 18, 2015, the NDRC announced
the reduction of the price of natural gas for non-residential use from November 20, 2015, whereby the citygate price ceiling for non-resident users was decreased by RMB700/kilostere while the preferential policy and price for natural gas used by
fertilizer makers remain unchanged. With a view to improve the market-driven pricing mechanism for natural gas, since November 20, 2016, suppliers and non-residential users can negotiate prices of natural gas up to 20% above the benchmark price for
non-residential uses.

Pipeline Transmission Tariff

Pipeline transmission tariffs for crude oil, refined oil and natural gas are set by NDRC. For those pipelines constructed
by the state prior to 1984, the transmission tariff is uniform flat tariff determined based on the principle of minimum profit margin. For those constructed after 1984, the proposed tariffs must be submitted to NDRC for examination and approval
based on the capital investment made in the pipeline, the depreciation period for the pipeline and reasonable profit margin.

Production and Marketing

Crude Oil

Each year, the NDRC publishes the projected target for the production and process of crude oil in China based on the domestic
consumption estimates submitted by domestic producers, including but not limited to us, Sinopec and CNOOC, the production of these companies as well as the forecast of international crude oil prices. The actual production levels are determined
by the producers themselves and may vary from the submitted estimates. Since January 1, 2007, when the Measures on the Administration of the Refined Products Market promulgated by the MOFCOM became effective, qualified domestic producers
are permitted to engage in the sale and storage of crude oil. Foreign companies with the required qualifications are also allowed to establish and invest in enterprises to conduct crude oil business.

Refined Products

Previously, only we, Sinopec and joint ventures established by the two companies had the right to conduct gasoline and diesel
wholesale business. Other companies, including foreign invested companies, were not allowed to engage in wholesale of gasoline and diesel in Chinas domestic market. In general, only domestic companies, including
Sino-foreign joint venture companies, were permitted to engage in retail of gasoline and diesel. Since December 11, 2004, wholly foreign-owned enterprises are
permitted to conduct refined oil retail

business. Since January 1, 2007, when the Measures on the Administration of the Refined Products Marketbecame effective, all entities meeting certain requirements are allowed
to submit applications to the MOFCOM to conduct refined oil products wholesale, retail and storage businesses.

Natural Gas

The NDRC determines each year the annual national natural gas production target based on the natural gas
production targets submitted by domestic natural gas producers. Domestic natural gas producers determine their annual natural gas production targets on the basis of consumption estimates. The actual production volume of each producer is
determined by the producer itself, which may deviate from the production target submitted by it. The NDRC also formulates the annual natural gas guidance supply plan, which requires natural gas producers to distribute a specified amount of
natural gas to designated key municipalities and key enterprises.

Foreign Investments

Cooperation in Exploration and Production with Foreign Companies

Currently, CNPC is one of the few Chinese companies that have the right to cooperate with foreign companies in onshore crude
oil and natural gas exploration and production in China. CNOOC has the right to cooperate with foreign companies in offshore crude oil and natural gas exploration and production in China.

Sino-foreign cooperation projects and foreign parties in onshore oil and gas
exploration and production in China are generally selected through open bids and bilateral negotiations. Those projects are generally conducted through production sharing contracts. The MOFCOM must approve those contracts.

As authorized by the Regulations of the PRC on Exploration of Onshore Petroleum Resources in Cooperation with Foreign
Enterprises, CNPC has the right to enter into joint cooperation arrangements with foreign oil and gas companies for onshore crude oil and natural gas exploration and production. We do not have the capacity to enter into production sharing
contracts directly with foreign oil and gas companies under existing PRC law. Accordingly, CNPC will continue to enter into production sharing contracts. After signing a production sharing contract, CNPC will, subject to approval of the
MOFCOM, assign to us most of its commercial and operational rights and obligations under the production sharing contract as required by the Non-competition Agreement between CNPC and us.

Transportation and Refining

Since December 1, 2007, PRC regulations have encouraged foreign investment in the construction and operation of oil and
gas pipelines and storage facilities. On March 10, 2015, PRC abandoned the restrictions on foreign investment in refineries with a production capacity of below 10 million tons per annum. Furthermore, when appropriate, projects must receive
necessary approvals from relevant PRC government agencies. See Item 3  Key Information  Risk Factors  Risks Related to Government Regulation.

Import and Export

Since
January 1, 2002, state-owned trading companies have been allowed to import crude oil under an automatic licensing
system. Non-state-owned trading companies have been allowed to import crude oil and refine products subject to quotas. The export of crude oil and refined oil
products by both state-owned trading companies and non-state-owned trading companies is subject to quota control. The MOFCOM
has granted us the right to conduct crude oil and refined product import and export business.

Environmental Regulations

We are subject to various PRC national environmental laws and regulations and also environmental regulations promulgated by the
local governments in whose jurisdictions we have operations. China has adopted extensive environmental laws and regulations that affect the operation of the oil and gas industry. There are national and local standards applicable to
emissions control, discharges to surface and subsurface water and disposal, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of solid waste materials.

The environmental regulations require a company, such as us, to register or file an environmental impact report with the
relevant environmental authority for approval before it undertakes any construction of a new production facility or any major expansion or renovation of an existing production facility. The new facility or the expanded or renovated facility
will not be permitted to operate unless the relevant environmental authority has inspected the environmental equipment installed at the facility and decides it satisfies the environmental protection requirements. A company that wishes to
discharge pollutants, whether it is in the form of emission, water or materials, must submit a pollutant discharge declaration statement detailing the amount, type, location and method of treatment. After reviewing the pollutant discharge
declaration, the relevant environmental authority will determine the amount of discharge allowable under the law and will issue a pollutant discharge license for that amount of discharge subject to the payment of discharge fees. If a company
discharges more than is permitted in the pollutant discharge license, the relevant environmental authority can fine the company up to several times the discharge fees payable by the offending company for its allowable discharge, or require the
offending company to close its operation to remedy the problem.

Item 5OPERATINGAND
FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTS

General

You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and their notes included
elsewhere in this annual report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Overview

We are engaged in a broad range of petroleum and natural gas related activities, including:



| |  |  | the exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the refining of crude oil and petroleum products, and the production and marketing of basic petrochemical

| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are Chinas largest producer of crude oil and natural gas and are one of the largest companies
in China in terms of revenue. In 2015, we produced approximately 971.9 million barrels of crude oil and approximately 3,131.0 Bcf of natural gas for sale. Our refineries also processed approximately 998.1 million barrels of crude oil in
2015. In 2015, we had revenue of RMB1,725,428 million and profit attributable to owners of the Company of RMB 35,517 million.

Factors
Affecting Results of Operations

Our results of operations and the period-to-period comparability of our financial results are affected by a number of external factors, including changes in the prices, production and sales volume of our principal products and the regulatory
environment.

Production and Sales Volume for Oil and Gas Products

Our results of operations are also affected by production and sales volumes. Our crude oil and natural gas production
volumes depend primarily on the level of the proved developed reserves in the fields in which we have an interest, as well as other factors such as general economic environment and market supply and demand conditions.

Regulatory Environment

Our operating activities are subject to extensive regulations and controls by the PRC government, including the issuance of
exploration and production licenses, the imposition of industry-specific taxes and levies and the implementation of environmental policies and safety standards. Our results of operations will be affected
by any future changes of such regulatory environment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires our management to select and apply significant accounting
policies, the application of which may require management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Notwithstanding the presentation of our principal accounting policies in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report, we have
identified the accounting policies below as most critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations presented in accordance with IFRS. Although these estimates are based on our
managements best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

Accounting for Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities

We use the successful efforts method of accounting, with specialized accounting rules that are unique to the oil and gas
industry, for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under this method, geological and geophysical costs incurred are expensed when incurred. However, all costs for developmental wells, support equipment and facilities, and proved
mineral interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized as construction in progress pending determination of whether the wells find proved reserves. For exploratory wells located in regions
that do not require substantial capital expenditures before the commencement of production, the evaluation of the economic benefits of the reserves in such wells will be completed within one year following the completion of the exploration
drilling. Where such evaluation indicates that no economic benefits can be obtained, the relevant costs of exploratory wells will be converted to dry hole exploration expenses. The relevant costs will be classified as oil and gas assets
and go through impairment review if the evaluation indicates that economic benefits can be obtained. For wells with economically viable reserves in areas where a major capital expenditure would be required before production can begin, the
related well costs remain capitalized only if additional drilling is under way or firmly planned. Otherwise the well costs are expensed as dry holes. We have no material costs of unproved properties capitalized in oil and gas properties.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The estimation of the quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves in oil and gas fields is integral to effective management
of our exploration and production operations. Because of the subjective judgments involved in developing and assessing such information, engineering estimates of the quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves in oil and gas fields are
inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts.

Before estimated oil and gas reserves are designated as
proved, certain engineering criteria must be met in accordance with industry standards and the regulations of the SEC. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated



50

##### Table of Contents

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. Therefore, these estimates do not include probable or possible reserves. Our proved reserve estimates are updated annually by independent, qualified and
experienced oil and gas reserve engineering firms in the United States, Singapore and Canada. Our oil and gas reserve engineering department has policies and procedures in place to ensure that these estimates are consistent with these authoritative
guidelines. Among other factors required by authoritative guidelines, this estimation takes into account recent information about each field, including production and seismic information, estimated recoverable reserves of each well, and oil and gas
prices and operating costs as of the date the estimate is made. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period before the ending date of the period covered by this report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The costs shall be that prevailing at the end of the period.

Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, estimated proved oil and gas reserve quantity has a direct
impact on certain amounts reported in the financial statements. In addition to the capitalization of costs related to oil and gas properties on the balance sheet discussed earlier, estimated proved reserves also impact the calculation of
depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses of oil and gas properties. The cost of oil and gas properties is amortized at the field level on the unit of production method. Unit of production rates are based on the total oil and gas
reserves estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities based on the current terms of our production licenses. Our reserve estimates include only crude oil and natural gas which management believes can be reasonably produced within the
current terms of the production licenses that are granted by the Ministry of Land and Resources, ranging from 30 years to 55 years from the effective date of issuance in March 2000, renewable upon application 30 days prior to
expiration. Consequently, the impact of changes in estimated proved reserves is reflected prospectively by amortizing the remaining book value of the oil and gas property assets over the expected future production. If proved reserve
estimates are revised downward, earnings could be affected by higher depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the propertys book value had the downward revisions been significant See
 Property, Plant and Equipment below. Given our large number of producing properties in our portfolio, and the estimated proved reserves, it is unlikely that any changes in reserve estimates will have a significant effect on
prospective charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses.

In addition, due to the importance of these
estimates in understanding the perceived value and future cash flows of a companys oil and gas operations, we have also provided supplemental disclosures of proved oil and gas reserve estimates prepared in accordance with
authoritative guidelines elsewhere in this annual report.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Where it is probable that property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties, will generate future economic
benefits, their costs are initially recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as assets. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into existing use. Subsequent to their
initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (including any impairment).

Depreciation, to write off the cost of each asset, other than oil and gas properties, to their residual values over their
estimated useful lives is calculated using the straight-line method.

##### Table of Contents

The company uses the following useful lives for depreciation purposes:



|                        |  |  |            | 
|----------------------- |  |  | ---------- | 
|Buildings and plant     |  |  | 8-40 years | 
|Equipment and machinery |  |  | 4-30 years | 
|Motor vehicles          |  |  | 4-14 years | 
|Other                   |  |  | 5-12 years | 

No depreciation is provided on construction in progress until the assets are completed and
ready for use.

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of
each reporting period.

Property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties, are reviewed for possible
impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of a cash generating unit exceeds the higher of its fair value
less costs to sell and its value in use, which is the estimated net present value of future cash flows to be derived from the cash generating unit.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are
recorded in the consolidated profit or loss.

Interest and other costs on borrowings to finance the construction of
property, plant and equipment are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Costs for repairs and maintenance activities are expensed as incurred except for costs of
components that result in improvements or betterments which are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and depreciated over their useful lives.

Provision for Asset Decommissioning

Provision is recognized for the future decommissioning and restoration of oil and gas properties. The amounts of the
provision recognized 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. Changes in any of these estimates will impact the operating
results and the financial position of the company over the remaining economic lives of the oil and gas properties.

Operating Results

The following discussion is based on our historical results of operations. As a result of
the factors discussed above, such results of operations may not be indicative of our future operating performance.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Overview

In 2015, our revenue was RMB1,725,428 million, representing a decrease of 24.4% compared with the preceding year.
Profit attributable to our owners was RMB35,517 million, representing a decrease of 66.9% compared with the preceding year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB0.19, representing a decrease of RMB0.40 compared with the preceding year.

RevenueRevenue decreased by 24.4% from RMB2,282,962 million in 2014 to RMB1,725,428 million in
2015. This decrease was primarily due to a combined effect of the decreasing selling prices of crude oil and refined oil, and the changes in the sales volume of crude oil, natural gas, refined oil and other major products. The table below sets out
the external sales volume and average realized prices for major products in 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses decreased by 22.1% from
RMB2,113,129 million in 2014 to RMB1,646,176 million in 2015, of which:

Purchases, Services and Other
Expenses Purchases, services and other expenses decreased by 28.9% from RMB1,486,225 million in 2014 to RMB1,056,795 million in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the facts that (i) our expenses for purchasing oil products reduced as a
result of the decrease in oil prices, (ii) our expenses for imported gas reduced because the quantity and price of imported LNG were both reduced, and (iii) the optimization of production and operation resulted in the reduction of certain purchase
costs.

Employee Compensation CostsEmployee compensation costs (including salaries
and additional costs such as insurances, housing funds and training fees) were RMB118,082 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 2.3% from RMB120,822 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that we improved our
efficiency-based remuneration system and implemented stricter control over the total number of employees and labor costs.

Exploration ExpensesExploration expenses amounted to RMB18,380 million in 2015, representing a decrease
of 16.7% from RMB22,064 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that we optimized our exploration deployment, reduced exploration workload and costs appropriately.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
ExpensesDepreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased by 14.3% from RMB177,463 million in 2014 to RMB202,875 million in 2015, mainly due to the assets impairment provision of RMB25,022 million in accordance with
the accounting standards, which increased by 2.3% compared with 2014. We strictly controlled capital investment and devoted major efforts to optimize our assets structure, thus effectively restrained the trend of substantial increase in
depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative ExpensesSelling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.9% from RMB73,413 million in 2014 to RMB71,270 million in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that we proactively implemented measures for broadening sources of income,
reducing expenditures, and enhancing efficiency to strengthen control over costs and expenses.

Taxes other than
Income TaxesTaxes other than income taxes decreased by 13.5% from RMB237,997 million in 2014 to RMB205,884 million in 2015. As a result of the decline in the price of crude oil and the rise in the threshold for the special oil
gain levy, no special oil gain levy applied to us in 2015, while we paid such levy in an amount of RMB64,376 million in 2014. The resource tax decreased by RMB7,721 million from RMB26,305 million in 2014 to RMB18,584 million in 2015.
As a result of the adjustment to the refined products consumption tax policy, our consumption tax increased by RMB45,061 million from RMB104,262 million in 2014 to RMB149,323 million in 2015.

Other Income, NetOther net income in 2015 was RMB27,110 million, representing an increase by RMB22,255
million from RMB4,855 million in 2014. This increase was primarily because we recognized an investment gain of RMB22,807 million in 2015 derived from the integration of certain pipeline assets.

Profit from OperationsThe profit from operations in 2015 was RMB79,252 million, representing a decrease
of 53.3% from RMB169,833 million in 2014.

Net Exchange LossNet exchange loss in 2015 was RMB632
million, representing a decrease of 72.7% as compared with RMB2,313 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the appreciation of the US dollar.

Net Interest ExpensesNet interest expenses increased by 2.7% from RMB21,723 million in 2014 to RMB22,309
million in 2015, primarily due to a slight increase in the average balance of interest-bearing debts to finance our production, operation and capital expenditures.

Profit Before Income Tax ExpenseProfit before income tax expense decreased by 63.1% from RMB156,759
million in 2014 to RMB57,815 million in 2015.

Income Tax ExpenseIncome tax
expense decreased by 58.3% from RMB37,731 million in 2014 to RMB15,726 million in 2015, which was primarily due to the decrease in taxable income.

Profit for the YearAs a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year decreased by 64.6% from
RMB119,028 million in 2014 to RMB 42,089 million in 2015.

Profit Attributable to Non-controlling
InterestsNet profit attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by 44.6%, from RMB11,856 million in 2014 to RMB6,572 million in 2015, primarily due to the decrease in the profits of certain overseas subsidiaries as a result
of the crude oil price drop.

Profit Attributable to Owners of the CompanyThe net profit
attributable to owners of the company decreased by 66.9% from RMB107,172 million in 2014 to RMB35,517 million in 2015.

Segment Results

Exploration and Production Segment

RevenueThe realized revenue of the exploration and production segment was RMB 475,412 million in 2015,
representing a decrease of 38.9% from RMB 777,574 million in 2014, primarily due to a combined effect of the drop in the crude oil and condensate oil price and an increase in the sales volume of crude oil. The average realized crude oil price was
US$48.35 per barrel in 2015, representing a decrease of 49.0% from US$94.83 per barrel in 2014.

Operating
ExpensesOperating expenses of the exploration and production segment decreased by 25.3% from RMB590,677 million in 2014 to RMB441,451 million in 2015, primarily due to a combined effect of the decrease in the crude oil special gain
levy, resource tax and other relevant taxes and levies and the provisions for impairment of oil and gas assets in 2015.

We enhanced our control over costs and expenses continuously. The oil and gas lifting cost was US$12.98 per barrel in 2015,
representing a decrease of 5.7% from US$13.76 per barrel in 2014.

Profit from OperationsWe
adhered to the low-cost strategy, optimized the production and continued to save energy and tap the potential synergies through innovation and refined management in the exploration and production segment, but as a result of the substantial drop in
the crude oil price, our realized profit from operations of the exploration and production segment was RMB33,961 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 81.8% from RMB186,897 million in 2014.

Refining and Chemicals Segment

RevenueRevenue of the refining and chemicals segment decreased by 24.1% from RMB846,082 million in
2014 to RMB642,428 million in 2015, primarily due to a combined effect of the drop in refined and chemicals products price and optimization of the allocation of resources and structure of products as well as the increase in the sales volume of
primary products in the refining and chemicals segment.

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses of the
refining and chemicals segment decreased by 26.7% from RMB869,642 million in 2014 to RMB637,545 million in 2015, primarily due to a decrease in the expenses associated with the purchase of crude oil and feedstock oil from external suppliers,
partially offset by the increase in consumption tax.

In 2015, we enhanced both quality and efficiency under the cost
pressure of the upgrading of oil quality in the refining and chemicals segment. The cash processing cost of refineries was RMB177.80 per ton in 2015, representing a decrease of RMB0.05 per ton from RMB177.85 per ton in 2014.

Profit from OperationsIn 2015, we adjusted our production and operation arrangements in a timely manner,
strengthened benchmarking and compliance, and enhanced cost controls in the refining and chemical segment, and thus realized an overall operation profit for the first time since 2011. In 2015, we realized profit from operation of RMB 4,883 million
in the refining and chemicals segment, as compared with the operating loss of RMB23,560 million in 2014. Within this segment, our refining operations recorded operating profit of RMB4,690 million in 2015, as compared with the operating loss of
RMB7,155 million in 2014, primarily due to the optimization of operation and an increase in gross profit. Despite the downward trend of the chemical market demands, we optimized the structure of products and controlled costs, and realized an
operation profit of RMB193 million from our chemicals business, compared with the operating loss of RMB16,405 million in 2014.

Marketing Segment

RevenueRevenue of the marketing segment decreased by 28.6% from RMB1,938,501 million in 2014 to
RMB1,383,426 million in 2015, primarily due to continuous downward adjustments in the refined oil price and a decrease in the sales volume of diesel.

##### Table of Contents

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses of the marketing
segment decreased by 28.4% from RMB1,933,080 million in 2014 to RMB1,383,926 million in 2015, primarily due to the decrease in the expenses in purchase of refined oil from external suppliers.

Loss from OperationsIn 2015, we optimized production and sales and inventory management, strengthened
cost and expense control and increased the profit from non-oil businesses. However, due to the slowdown of domestic economy growth and the mild demand from the market, the marketing segment recorded an operating loss of RMB500 million in 2015, as
compared to the operation profit of RMB 5,421 million in 2014.

Natural Gas and Pipeline Segment

RevenueRevenue of the natural gas and pipeline segment amounted to RMB281,778 million in
2015, compared to RMB284,262 million in 2014, primarily due to a combined effect of the increase in the sales volume of natural gas and the decrease in the sales income of city gas and liquefied petroleum gas.

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses of the natural gas and pipeline segment amounted to RMB230,547
million in 2015, representing a decrease of 15.0% compared to RMB271,136 million in 2014, primarily due to the decrease in the expenses of imported natural gas.

Profit from OperationsIn 2015, we strengthened the development of high-profitability market, continued
to improve the marketing capability and profitability, realized an increase in both volume and profit of sales of natural gas, and achieved an operation profit of RMB51,231 million in the natural gas and pipeline segment in 2015, representing an
increase of RMB38,105 million as compared to RMB13,126 million in 2014. Excluding the effect of the investment income of RMB22,807 million generated from the integration of certain pipeline assets in 2015, the profit from operations increased by
RMB15,298 million as compared with 2014. In 2015, the natural gas and pipeline segment recorded a net loss of RMB16,299 million from sales of imported gas, representing a decrease of loss of RMB18,721 million as compared with 2014. The net loss
consisted of a loss of RMB6,216 million from the sales of 30.552 billion cubic meters of natural gas imported from Central Asia, a loss of RMB8,519 million from the sales of 5.702 billion cubic meters of imported LNG, and a loss from RMB4,073
million for the sales of 4.623 billion cubic meters of natural gas imported from Myanmar.

In 2015, our international
operationsnote realized a revenue of RMB540,239 million, representing 31.3% of our total revenue. Loss before income tax expense amounted to RMB8,349 million, primarily due to the provision for
impairment for oil and gas assets of certain overseas subsidiaries in 2015.

Note: Our four operating segments are exploration and
production, refining and chemicals, marketing as well as natural gas and pipeline. Overseas operations do not constitute a separate operating segment. The financial data of overseas operations are included in the financial data of the respective
operating segment mentioned above.

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses increased by 2.1% from RMB2,069,482
million in 2013 to RMB2,113,129 million in 2014, of which:

Purchases, Services and OtherPurchases, services and other operating expenses increased by 1.5% from RMB1,464,805 million in 2013 to RMB1,486,225 million in 2014. This was primarily due to our expansion of our trading capacity.

Employee Compensation CostEmployee compensation costs (including salaries and such additional
costs as various insurances, provident funds and training fees for the 534,652 employees of us and the 319,346 temporary and seasonal staff recruited from the market) increased by 3.8% from RMB116,422 million in 2013 to RMB 120,822 million in
2014. This increase was primarily due to our initiative to increase the compensation of our front-line employees to reflect the expansion of our operations and the consequent increase in business volumes, and rises in the domestic consumer price
index, wage inflation and social security contributions in line with changes to local government policies.

Exploration ExpenseExploration expenses decreased by 12.8% from RMB25,301 million in 2013 to
RMB22,064 million in 2014. This was primarily due to the fact that some overseas projects have entered into the production phase.

Depreciation, Depletion and AmortizationDepreciation, depletion and amortization increased
by 8.6% from RMB163,365 million in 2013 to RMB 177,463 million in 2014. This increase was primarily due to the increased average carrying value of fixed assets and the increased average net value of oil and gas properties of the company.

Selling, General and Administrative ExpensesSelling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by 7.1% from RMB79,021 million in 2013 to RMB73,413 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that the company proactively implemented measures for broadening sources of income, reducing expenditures, cutting costs and
enhancing efficiency to strengthen control over costs and expenses.

Taxes other than Income
TaxesTaxes other than income taxes decreased by 4.1% from RMB248,086 million in 2013 to RMB237,997 million in 2014. This decrease 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 from RMB72,726 million in 2013 to RMB64,376 million in 2014.

##### Table of Contents

Other Income, NetOther income, net in 2014 was
RMB4,855 million, representing a decrease of 82.4% from RMB27,518 million in 2013. This decrease was primarily because the company recognized the gain on investment of certain pipeline net assets and operations in 2013.

Profit from OperationsThe profit from operations in 2014 was RMB169,833 million, representing a
decrease of 9.97% from RMB188,642 million in 2013.

Net Exchange Gain/LossNet exchange loss in
2014 was RMB2,313 million, while net exchange gain in 2013 was RMB52 million. This was primarily due to the fact that the depreciation of Kazakhstani Tenge (KZT) caused an increase of exchange loss during the reporting period.

Net Interest ExpensesNet interest expenses increased by 4.1% from RMB20,859 million in 2013 to RMB21,723
million in 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the principal amount of the interest-bearing debt of the company to finance production, operation, investment and construction.

Profit Before Income Tax ExpenseProfit before income tax expense decreased by 12.0% from RMB178,063
million in 2013 to RMB156,759 million in 2014.

Income Tax Expense Income tax expense increased by 5.4%
from RMB35,789 million in 2013 to RMB37,731 million in 2014. This increase was primarily due to a combined effect of the increase in income tax expense arising from adjustments to the policy for crude oil special gain levy deduction before
income tax and the decrease in profit before income tax expense for the current period.

Profit for the
YearProfit for the year decreased by 16.3% from RMB142,274 million in 2013 to RMB119,028 million in 2014.

Profit Attributable to Non-controlling Interests of the CompanyProfit attributable to non-controlling
interests decreased by 6.5% from RMB12,675 million in 2013 to RMB11,856 million in 2014, which was primarily due to the decrease in profits of certain overseas subsidiaries of the company.

Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company Profit attributable to owners of the company decreased by
17.3% from RMB129,599 million in 2013 to RMB107,172 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the prices of crude oil and refined oil products, and a decrease in the income generated from the pipeline assets and
operations.

Segment Information

Exploration and Production Segment

RevenueRealized revenue of the exploration and production segment decreased by 0.8% from RMB783,694
million in 2013 to RMB777,574 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a combined effect of the drop in the crude oil price, partially offset by the increase in the natural gas price as well as the increase in sales volume. The
average realized crude oil price of the company decreased by 5.6% from US$100.42 per barrel in 2013 to US$94.83 per barrel in 2014.

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses of the exploration and production segment decreased by 0.6%
from RMB593,996 million in 2013 to RMB590,677 million in 2014, which was primarily due to a decrease in the crude oil special gain levy paid for the sales of domestic crude oil during the current period and an increase in depreciation, depletion and
amortization expenses.

The oil and gas lifting cost of the company increased by 4.0% from US$13.23 per barrel in 2013 to
US$13.76 per barrel in 2014. Excluding the effect of exchange rate movements, the oil and gas lifting cost

##### Table of Contents

increased by 3.2% compared to the preceding year. The growth of lifting cost has been effectively controlled as a result of the active implementation of measures for broadening sources of income
and reducing expenditure, as well as cutting costs and improving efficiency.

Profit from OperationsProfit from operations of the exploration and production segment decreased by 1.5% from RMB189,698 million in 2013 to RMB186,897 million in 2014. Nevertheless, the exploration and production segment remained the most important profit
contributing segment of the company.

Refining and Chemicals Segment

RevenueRevenue of the refining and chemicals segment decreased by 3.0% from RMB871,815 million in
2013 to RMB846,082 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the price of refined and chemicals products.

Operating Expenses Operating expenses of the refining and chemicals segment decreased by 3.0% from
RMB896,207 million in 2013 to RMB869,642 million in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the expenses in relation to the purchase of crude oil and feedstock oil from external suppliers.

The cash processing cost of the refineries of the company increased by 10.8% from RMB160.55 per ton in 2013 to RMB177.85 per
ton in 2014, primarily due to an increase in fuel and power cost.

Loss from Operations The refining and
chemicals segment recorded a loss of RMB23,560 million in 2014, which represented a decrease in loss of RMB832 million as compared to RMB24,392 million in 2013. The operating losses of the refining operations increased by RMB2,447 million as
compared to that of 2013, resulting in a loss of RMB7,155 million in 2014. The operating losses of the chemicals operations decreased by RMB3,279 million as compared to RMB19,684 million in 2013, resulting in a loss of RMB16,405 million in 2014.
This decrease in losses was primarily due to the companys initiatives in optimizing resource allocation and cost control.

Marketing Segment

RevenueRevenue of the marketing segment decreased by 0.4% from RMB1,946,806 million in 2013 to
RMB1,938,501 million in 2014, which was primarily due to continuous downward adjustments in the refined oil prices and a decrease in the sales volume of diesel.

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses of the marketing segment decreased by 0.3% from
RMB1,939,244 million in 2013 to RMB1,933,080 million in 2014, which was primarily due to a decrease in the expenses arising from the purchase of refined oil from external suppliers.

Profit from Operations The marketing segment recorded a profit from operations of RMB5,421 million in 2014,
representing a decrease of 28.3% from RMB7,562 million in 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to the weaker domestic economy and lower demand for refined oil products in 2014.

Natural Gas and Pipeline Segment

RevenueRevenue of the natural gas and pipeline segment increased by 22.1% from RMB232,751 million in
2013 to RMB284,262 million in 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in both the sales volume and the selling price of natural gas.

Operating ExpensesOperating expenses of the natural gas and pipeline segment amounted to RMB271,136
million in 2014, representing an increase of 18.6% as compared to 2013, excluding the effect of the contribution of certain pipeline net assets and business in 2013.

##### Table of Contents

Profit from OperationsOperating profit of the natural gas
and pipeline segment decreased by 54.6% from RMB28,888 million in 2013 to RMB13,126 million in 2014. 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 the preceding 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 the preceding year consisting of a loss of RMB17,683 million for the sale of 29.270 billion cubic meters of natural gas imported from Central Asia, a loss of RMB20,450 million for the sale of 7.258 billion cubic meters of imported
LNG, and a loss of RMB3,465 million for the sale of 3.226 billion cubic meters of natural gas imported from Myanmar.

In
2014, the companys overseas operations note realized a revenue of RMB803,779 million, representing 35.2% of the companys total revenue. Profit before income tax expense amounted to
RMB19,242 million, representing 12.3% of the companys total profit before income tax expense.

Note: The four operating segments
of the company are exploration and production, refining and chemicals, marketing as well as natural gas and pipeline. Overseas operations do not constitute a separate operating segment of the company. The financial data of overseas operations are
included in the financial data of respective operating segment mentioned above.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Our primary sources of funding include cash generated by operating activities and short-term and long-term borrowings. Our primary uses of funds were for operating activities, capital expenditures, repayment of
short-term and long-term borrowings and distributions of dividends to shareholders. Our payments to CNPC are limited to dividends and payments for services provided
to us by CNPC. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we distributed as dividends 45% of our reported income for the year attributable to our shareholders. See Item 8  Financial Information  Dividend
Policy for a discussion of factors which may affect the determination by our board of directors of the appropriate level of dividends.

Our financing ability may be limited by our financial condition, our results of operations and the international and domestic
capital markets. Prior to accessing the international and domestic capital markets, we must obtain approval from the relevant PRC government authorities. In general, we must obtain PRC government approval for any project involving significant
capital investment for our refining and chemicals, marketing and natural gas and pipeline segments. For a more detailed discussion of factors which may affect our ability to satisfy our financing requirements, see Item 3  Key Information
 Risk Factors  Risks Related to Liquidity.

We plan to fund the capital and related expenditures
described in this annual report principally through cash from operating activities, short-term and long-term borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. Net cash
flows from operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2015 was RMB261,312 million. As of December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of RMB72,773 million. While each of the projects described in this annual report for
which significant capital expenditures will be required is important to our future development, we do not believe that failure to implement any one of these projects would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations. If the price of crude oil continues to decline sharply in the future, it is likely that we would delay or reduce the scale of the capital expenditures for our exploration and production segment.

We currently do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other rights for any persons to require us to issue any common
stock at a price below its market value. We do not currently intend to issue any such rights or to otherwise issue any common stock for a price below its market value.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our net cash flows from operating activities amounted to RMB261,312 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, representing
a decrease of 26.7% from RMB356,477 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This was mainly due to a combined effect of a decrease in profit and the change of working capital during the report period. As of December 31, 2015, we had cash
and cash equivalents of RMB72,773 million. Our cash and cash equivalents were mainly denominated in Renminbi (approximately 52.9% were denominated in Renminbi, approximately 43.3% were denominated in US Dollars, approximately 2.2% were denominated
in HK Dollars and approximately 1.6% were denominated in other currencies).

Our net cash flows from operating activities
for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RMB356,477 million, representing an increase of 23.5% from RMB288,529 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was mainly due to our efforts to enhance the management of the use of
funds and inventory and an increase in operating funds. As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of RMB73,778 million. The cash and cash equivalents were mainly denominated in Renminbi (approximately 73.9% were denominated
in Renminbi, approximately 20.0% were denominated in US dollars, approximately 4.8% were denominated in HK dollars and approximately 1.3% were denominated in other currencies).

Our net cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was RMB288,529 million, representing an
increase of 20.6% from RMB239,288 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This was mainly due to a combined effect of the increase in profits during the reporting period as compared with the preceding year and changes in inventory and other
account payables, as a result of the strengthening of our management and optimization of production and operation. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of RMB51,407 million. The cash and cash equivalents were mainly denominated
in Renminbi (approximately 77.8% were denominated in Renminbi, approximately 8.8% were denominated in US dollars, approximately 7.3% were denominated in HK dollars and approximately 6.1% were denominated in other currencies).

Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities

Our net cash flows used for investing activities in 2015 amounted to RMB215,879 million, representing a decrease of 25.8% from
RMB290,838 million in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a combined effect of

##### Table of Contents

the adjustment of our investment plans based on the oil price trend and market change, a decrease in capital expenditures during the current report period and payment of considerations for
integration of certain pipelines assets.

Our net cash flows used for investing activities for the year ended December 31,
2014 amounted to RMB290,838 million, representing an increase of 9.1% from RMB266,510 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the increase of capital from our investment in a joint venture with
certain pipeline assets and operations in 2013.

Our net cash flows used for investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2013 amounted to RMB266,510 million, representing a decrease of 19.8% from RMB332,226 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a combined effect of the cash inflow resulting from our

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities

Our net cash flows used for financing activities in 2015 was RMB45,439 million, representing an increase of 2.5% from RMB44,312
million in 2014. This was primarily due to a combined effect of our efforts in optimizing financial arrangement, strengthening the management of our interest-bearing borrowings, overall arrangement and optimization of our debt structure and the
increase of repayments of borrowings in 2015, and the decrease of balance of short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2015.

Our net cash used for financing activities was RMB44,312 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, representing an
increase of RMB32,073 million compared to the net cash outflows of RMB12,239 million used for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was primarily due to our efforts to strengthen the management of our interest-bearing
borrowings and to optimize our debt structure.

Our net cash used for financing activities was RMB12,239 million for the
year ended December 31, 2013, representing a decrease of RMB87,595 million as compared with the net cash inflows of RMB75,356 million from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012. This was primarily due to our efforts to strengthen
the management of our interest-bearing borrowings and to optimize our debt structure, resulting in a decrease in the net new borrowings during the reporting period as compared with the preceding year.

Our net borrowings as of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 were as follows:

RMB157,822 million, respectively. In 2015, our capital expenditures were primarily used for domestic oil and gas exploration projects such as those in Changqing, Daqing, Southwestern, Tarim
and Liaohe, and construction of production capacities for various oil and gas fields, and five large overseas oil and gas development projects.

We anticipate that the capital expenditures for our exploration and production segment for 2016 would amount to RMB142,900
million. Domestic exploration activities will be focused on the key basins such as Songliao Basin, Erdos Basin, Tarim Basin, Sichuan Basin and Bohai Bay Basin. Domestic development activities will be focused on maintaining a stable production of
crude oil and growth in the output of natural gas by developing oil and gas fields in Daqing, Changqing, Liaohe, Xinjiang, Tarim and the Southwest region and continue to develop unconventional resources such as coalbed methane and shale gas.
Overseas operations will be aimed at continued cooperation with our current partners in oil and gas exploration and development projects in the Middle East, Central Asia, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific regions to ensure an effective growth of our
reserves and production.

Refining and Chemicals

Our capital expenditures for our refining and chemicals segment for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015

the Yunnan petrochemical project and other oil product quality upgrading projects.

We anticipate that capital
expenditures for the refining and chemicals segment in 2016 would amount to RMB18,700 million, which are expected to be used primarily for construction of large-scale refining and chemical projects, such as the refinery project in Liaoyang for
processing the crude oil imported from Russia, the refinery project in Yunnan and the product quality upgrading projects.

RMB10,200 million, which are expected to be used primarily for the construction and expansion of high-efficiency sales networks in China as well as the construction of oil and gas operating centers abroad.

Natural Gas and Pipeline

Our capital expenditures for the natural gas and pipeline segment for each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and
2015 were RMB57,439 million, RMB32,919 million and RMB20,360 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures for the natural gas and pipeline segment in 2015 were mainly used for construction projects including the Third West-East Gas
Pipeline and the Jinzhou-Zhengzhou Refined Oil Pipeline.

We anticipate that our capital expenditures for the natural gas
and pipeline segment in 2016 will amount to approximately RMB19,100 million, which are expected to be used primarily for the construction of key oil and gas transmission projects such as the Fourth Shaanxi-Beijing Gas Pipeline, the East section of
Sino-Russia Natural Gas Pipeline, and the second Sino-Russia Crude Oil Pipeline, as well as the construction of natural gas branches and sales terminals.

Trend Information

In 2016, the recovery of global economy is expected to be weak. With general surplus of global oil supply, the international
oil price maintains volatility at low levels. Chinas economy is expected to keep growing in a moderately stable manner. The demand for oil and gas in China will remain growing as a whole, and the growth trend driven by strategies, such as
the Belt and Road initiative and reforms in energy pricing and the oil and gas systems, will benefit our long-term business development. We will adhere to our steady development guidelines, fully implement our four major strategies,
namely, resources, markets, internationalization and innovation, focus on the development of oil and gas business, continue to optimize our business layout and asset structure, improve our capability of market interaction along the whole industry
chain including production, transportation, sales, storage and trade, and actively broaden our source of income, reduce expenditures and improve efficiency in an effort to maintain a steady and positive improvement of our production and operation

With respect to the exploration and production segment, we will
continue to prioritize our resources and improve our oil and gas exploration and development level. With regards to exploration, we will attach equal importance to gas and oil, focus on the major basins and key series and strata, make efforts to
increase the exploration investment efficiency, and strive to achieve economically recoverable reserves. We will organize our oil and gas production in a prudent manner, further optimize the development plan and output structure, strengthen precise
oil reserves description and normalized fine water injection, and endeavor to obtain economically recoverable reserves. We will steadily advance the unconventional oil and gas business and continue to keep stable output and profit. We expect that

of new products and new materials and market cultivation, and organize production in a safe, stable and flexible manner. We will push forward the construction of key projects in a well-paced and orderly manner, improve the construction of oil
product quality upgrade projects, and continuously improve our sustainable development ability and profitability. We expect that we will process 1,008.6 million barrels of crude oil in 2016.

With respect to marketing segment, we will pay close attention to the emerging features of the market, strengthen the
connection between production and sales, and formulate flexible marketing strategies. We will accelerate the construction of our marketing network in a multi-channel and diversified manner, focus on high-profitability and high-end markets, actively
explore joint venture, cooperation, franchising and other relevant modes, build certain high-end terminals, and continuously enhance our profitability and market competitiveness. We will push forward the integrated marketing of refined oil, prepaid
fuel cards, non-oil business and lubricating oil, promote integration of Internet technology and traditional retail business, innovate the mode of marketing, develop business extension, and cultivate new profit growth points.

Dividend Policy

Our board of directors will declare dividends, if any, in Renminbi on a per share basis and will pay such dividends in
Renminbi with respect to A Shares and HK dollars with respect to H Shares. Any final dividend for a financial year shall be subject to shareholders approval. The Bank of New York will convert the HK dollar dividend payments and distribute them
to holders of ADSs in U.S. dollars, less expenses of conversion. The holders of the A Shares and H Shares will share proportionately on a per share basis in all dividends and other distributions declared by our board of directors.

The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors will take
into account factors including the following:



| |  |  | general business conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | our financial results;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | capital requirements;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends by us to our shareholders or by our subsidiaries to us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our shareholders interests;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | the effect on our debt ratings; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

We may only distribute dividends after we have made allowances for:



| |  |  | recovery of losses, if any;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | allocations to the statutory common reserve fund; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allocations to a discretionary common reserve fund if approved by our shareholders.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The allocation to the statutory funds is 10% of our income for the year attributable to our shareholders determined in
accordance with PRC accounting rules. Under PRC law, our distributable earnings will be equal to our income for the year attributable to our shareholders determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules or IFRS, whichever is lower, less
allocations to the statutory and discretionary funds.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that our dividend policy strikes a balance between two important
goals:



| |  |  | providing our shareholders with a competitive return on investment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assuring sufficient reinvestment of profits to enable us to achieve our strategic objectives.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A dividend of RMB0.06247 per share (inclusive of applicable taxes) for the six months ended June 30,
2015 was paid to our shareholders on September 18, 2015 with respect to our A Shares and October 27, 2015 with respect to our H Shares. The board of directors recommended that a final dividend of RMB0.02486 per share (inclusive of applicable
taxes), which was calculated on the basis of the balance between 45% of our income for the year attributable to our shareholders under IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the interim dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2015,
should be paid. The final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2015 is subject to the approval by the annual general meeting to be held on May 25, 2016, and shall be paid to our shareholders listed on our shareholder register as of the
close of business on June 7, 2016.

Foreign Exchange Controls

The Renminbi currently is not a freely convertible currency. We receive most of our revenues in Renminbi. A portion
of our Renminbi revenues must be converted into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations, including:



| |  |  | debt service on foreign currency-denominated debt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | external capital expenditures and equity investment;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | purchases of imported equipment and materials; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment of any dividends declared with respect to the H Shares.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

Under the existing foreign exchange regulations in China, we may undertake current account foreign exchange transactions,
including the payment of dividends, without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange by producing commercial documents evidencing such transactions, provided that they are processed through Chinese banks licensed to engage in
foreign exchange transactions.

Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account, including principal payments with
respect to foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to limitations and require the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. These limitations could affect
our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.

We
have been, and will continue to be, affected by changes in exchange rates in connection with our ability to meet our foreign currency obligations and will be affected by such changes in connection with our ability to pay dividends on the H Shares in
Hong Kong dollars and on ADSs in U.S. dollars. We believe that we have or will be able to obtain sufficient foreign exchange to continue to satisfy these obligations. We do not engage in any financial contract or other arrangement to hedge
our currency exposure.

We are not aware of any other PRC laws, decrees or regulations that restrict the export or import
of capital or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders.

Taxation

The following discussion addresses the main PRC and United States tax consequences of the ownership of H Shares or ADSs
purchased held by the investor as capital assets.

PRC Taxation

Dividends and Individual Investors

Pursuant to the Individual Income Tax Law of the PRC, all foreign individuals are subject to a 20% withholding tax on dividends
paid by a PRC company on its shares listed overseas, or Overseas Shares, unless specifically exempt by the financial authority of the State Council of the PRC. However, pursuant to the Notice on the Collection of Individual Income Tax after
the Abolishment of Guoshuifa [1993] No. 045, or Circular 348, issued by the State General Administration of Taxation of the PRC on June 28, 2011, foreign individual shareholders holding H shares, or Individual H Shareholders, in a PRC company
listed in Hong Kong may be subject to different levels of withholding taxes on dividends based on the tax treaties of their home countries with China. Individual H Shareholders, who are residents of Hong Kong or Macau or who enjoy a 10% tax
rate on dividends based on the tax treaties of their home countries with China, are subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% with respect to the H-share dividends they receive. For those Individual H
Shareholders whose home countries have tax treaties with China prescribing a tax rate on dividends lower than 10%, the PRC company, whose shares are held by such Individual H Shareholders, need to apply for such tax treatment under relevant



87



---

##### Table of Contents

PRC taxation regulation on behalf of the Individual H Shareholders in order for them to enjoy such tax treatment. For Individual H Shareholders whose home countries have tax treaties with
China prescribing a tax rate on dividends between 10% and 20%, the PRC company, whose shares are held by such Individual H Shareholders, shall withhold the individual income tax at the agreed-upon tax
rate. For Individual H Shareholders whose home countries have no tax treaties with China or whose home countries have tax treaties with China prescribing a tax rate on dividends higher than 20%, the PRC company shall withhold the tax at a
rate of 20%.

Dividends and Foreign Enterprises

Pursuant to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC and the implementing rules thereunder, and the Circular on
Issues Concerning the Withholding of Corporate Income Tax by PRC Resident Enterprises from Dividends Payable to H Share Non-resident Corporate Shareholders, or the Circular, each PRC resident
enterprise, when paying any of its H share non-resident corporate shareholders any dividends, is required to withhold the corporate income tax from such dividends at a uniform rate of 10%. After its
receipt of any dividends on its H shares, an H share non-resident corporate shareholder may by itself or through an agent or the withholding agent, apply to the competent taxation authority for the treatment
under the applicable tax treaty and present the documents evidencing that such shareholder is qualified to be a beneficial owner as defined under the applicable tax treaty. The competent tax authority, after having verified the correctness of
such documents, shall refund the difference between the amount of the tax actually paid by such shareholder and the amount of the tax payable by such shareholder as calculated on the basis of the rate stipulated in the applicable tax treaty.

Tax Treaties

If you are a tax resident or citizen of a country that has entered into a
double-taxation treaty with the PRC, you may be entitled to a reduction in the amount of tax withheld, if any, imposed on the payment of dividends. The PRC currently has such treaties with a number of
countries, including but not limited to:



| |  |  | the United States;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | Australia;
| | - |  | ----------



| |  |  | Canada;
| | - |  | -------



| |  |  | France;
| | - |  | -------



| |  |  | Germany;
| | - |  | --------



| |  |  | Japan;
| | - |  | ------



| |  |  | Malaysia;
| | - |  | ---------



| |  |  | Singapore;
| | - |  | ----------



| |  |  | the United Kingdom; and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | the Netherlands.
| | - |  | ----------------

Under certain treaties, the rate of withholding tax imposed by Chinas taxation authorities may be reduced. Pursuant to
the Measures for the Administration of the Enjoyment by Non-residents of the Treatments under the Tax Treaties (Trial) promulgated by the State Administration of Taxation on August 24,
2009, non-PRC resident are required to apply for approval or filing in order to claim any benefit under tax treaties.

Capital Gains

The Individual Income Tax Law of the PRC, provides for a capital gain tax of 20% on individuals. The Provisions
for Implementing the Individual Income Tax Law of the PRC, provides that the measures to levy individual income tax on the gains realized on the sale of shares will be made in the future by the Ministry of

##### Table of Contents

Finance and subject to the approval of the State Council. However, the Ministry of Finance has not so far promulgated a specific taxation method to levy tax on the capital gains realized by
individual holders of H Shares or ADSs from sale of shares. If in the future such specific taxation method is promulgated, an individual holder of H Shares or ADSs may be subject to a 20% tax on capital gains under the Individual Income Tax
Law of the PRC as amended from time to time, unless exempted or reduced by an applicable double taxation treaty or relevant PRC law or regulation.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, capital gains realized by foreign enterprises which are non-resident enterprises in the PRC upon the sale of Overseas Shares by PRC companies are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10%, unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. Currently pursuant to the Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on Printing and Issuing the Interim Measures for Administration of Withholding at Source
of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises promulgated on January 9, 2009, where both parties to the transaction of equity transfer are non-resident
enterprises and such transaction is conducted outside the territory of PRC, the non-resident enterprise that receives incomes shall, by itself or through its agent, declare and pay tax to the competent tax
authority in the place where the Chinese enterprise whose equities have been transferred is located.

Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock
Connect

In April 2014, China launched the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program, which is a cross-boundary
investment channel that connects the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Under the program, investors in each market are able to trade shares on the other market using their local brokers and clearing agencies. In accordance
with the current PRC tax policies, foreign investors are temporarily exempt from income tax on capital gains derived from the trading of A-shares under the program and will be subject to a 10% uniform withholding tax on the dividends received under
the program. After the receipt of any dividends, a non-resident shareholder may by itself or through an agent or the withholding agent, apply to the competent taxation authority for the treatment under the applicable tax treaty and present the
documents evidencing that such shareholder is qualified to be a beneficial owner as defined under the applicable tax treaty. The competent tax authority, after having verified the correctness of such documents, shall refund the difference
between the amount of the tax actually paid by such shareholder and the amount of the tax payable by such shareholder as calculated on the basis of the rate stipulated in the applicable tax treaty.

Additional PRC Tax Considerations

Under the Provisional Regulations of the Peoples Republic of China Concerning the Stamp Duty, a stamp duty is not imposed
by the PRC on the transfer of shares, such as the H Shares or ADSs, of PRC publicly traded companies that take place outside of China.

United States
Federal Income Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the material United States federal income tax
consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the H Shares or ADSs if you are a U.S. holder, as defined below, and hold the H Shares or ADSs as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
or the Code. This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the H Shares or ADSs, and does not take into account U.S. holders who may be subject to special rules including:



| |  |  | tax-exempt entities;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | certain insurance companies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | broker-dealers;
| | - |  | ---------------

| |  |  | U.S. holders liable for alternative minimum tax;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | U.S. holders that own 10% or more of our voting stock;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | U.S. holders that hold the H Shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

This discussion is based on the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed United States Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, or changes in interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. In addition, this discussion is based
in part upon representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreements will be performed according to its terms.

You are a U.S. holder if you are:



| |  |  | a citizen or resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, created
or organized under the laws of the United States, or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax without regard to its source; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust:
| | - |  | --------



| |  |  | subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and the control of one or more United States
persons; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that has elected to be treated as a United States person under applicable United States Treasury regulations.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes) holds the H Shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership that holds the H Shares or ADSs, we urge you to
consult your tax advisors regarding the consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the H Shares or ADSs.

This discussion does not address any aspects of United States taxation other than federal income taxation.

We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the United States federal, state, local and non-United States tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the H Shares or ADSs.

In general, if you hold American depositary receipts evidencing ADSs, you will be treated as owner of the H Shares represented
by the ADSs. The following discussion assumes that we are not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, as discussed under PFIC Rules below.

Distributions on the H Shares or ADSs

The gross amount of any distribution (without reduction for any PRC tax withheld) we make on the H Shares or ADSs out of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) will be includible in your gross income as dividend income when the distribution is actually or constructively received by you, in the case of
the H Shares, or by the depositary in the case of

ADSs. Subject to certain limitations, dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, currently are eligible for a reduced rate
of taxation if we are deemed to be a qualified foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. A qualified foreign corporation includes:



| |  |  | a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United
States that includes an exchange of information program; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a foreign corporation if its stock with respect to which a dividend is paid (or ADSs backed by such stock) is
readily tradable on an established securities market within the United States (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes),
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but does not include an otherwise qualified foreign corporation that is a PFIC in the taxable year that the dividend is paid or in the prior
taxable year. We believe that we will be a qualified foreign corporation so long as we are not a PFIC and we are considered eligible for the benefits of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of
the Peoples Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the Treaty. Our status as a qualified foreign corporation, however, may change.

Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to you to
the extent of your tax basis in the H Shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain. Any dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations
with respect to dividends received from United States corporations. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of such distribution.

If we make a distribution paid in HK dollars, you will be considered to receive the U.S. dollar value of the distribution
determined at the spot HK dollar/ U.S. dollar rate on the date such distribution is received by you or by the depositary, regardless of whether you or the depositary convert the distribution into U.S. dollars. Any gain or loss resulting from
currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includible in your income to the date you or the depositary convert the distribution into U.S. dollars will be treated as United States source ordinary income or
loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Subject to various limitations, any PRC tax withheld from distributions
in accordance with PRC law, as limited by the Treaty, will be deductible or creditable against your United States federal income tax liability. For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, dividends paid on the H Shares or ADSs will be foreign
source income, and will be treated as passive category income or, in the case of some U.S. holders, general category income. You may not be able to claim a foreign tax credit (and instead may claim a deduction) for non-United States taxes imposed on dividends paid on the H Shares or ADSs if you (i) have held the H Shares or ADSs for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss with
respect to such Shares, or (ii) are obligated to make payments related to the dividends (for example, pursuant to a short sale).

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition

Upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of the H Shares or ADSs, you will recognize a capital gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized and your tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in such H Shares or ADSs. Any gain or loss will generally be United States
source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, is generally taxed at a reduced rate where the property has been
held more than one year. Your ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations. If any PRC tax is withheld from your gain on a sale, exchange or other disposition of H Shares or ADSs, such tax would only be creditable against
your United States federal income tax liability to the extent that you have foreign source income. However, in the event that such PRC tax is withheld, a U.S. holder that is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty may be able to treat the gain
as foreign source income for foreign tax credit satisfaction

purposes. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences if PRC tax is withheld from your gain on the sale or other disposition of H
Shares or ADSs, including the availability of a foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

If you are paid
in a currency other than U.S. dollars, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date of the payment resulting from sale, exchange or other disposition to the date you convert the payment into U.S.
dollars will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

In general, a foreign corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries:



| |  |  | 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income, such as dividends, interest, rents and royalties;
or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the
production of, passive income.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We believe that we did not meet either of the PFIC tests in the taxable
year that ended December 31, 2015 and believe that we will not meet either of the PFIC tests in the current or subsequent taxable years and therefore will not be treated as a PFIC for such periods. However, there can be no assurance that
we will not be a PFIC in the current or subsequent taxable years.

If we were a PFIC in any taxable year that you held the
H Shares or ADSs, you generally would be subject to special rules with respect to excess distributions made by us on the H Shares or ADSs and with respect to gain from your disposition of the H Shares or ADSs. An excess
distribution generally is defined as the excess of the distributions you receive with respect to the H Shares or ADSs in any taxable year over 125% of the average annual distributions you have received from us during the shorter of the three
preceding years or your holding period for the H Shares or ADSs. Generally, you would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the H Shares or ADSs ratably over your holding period for the H Shares or
ADSs. The portion of the excess distribution or gain allocated to a prior taxable year, other than a year prior to the first year in which we became a PFIC, would be taxed at the highest United States federal income tax rate on ordinary income
in effect for such taxable year, and you would be subject to an interest charge on the resulting tax liability, determined as if the tax liability had been due with respect to such particular taxable years. The portion of the excess
distribution or gain that is not allocated to prior taxable years, together with the portion allocated to the years prior to the first year in which we became a PFIC, would be included in your gross income for the taxable year of the excess
distribution or disposition and taxed as ordinary income.

The foregoing rules with respect to excess distributions and
dispositions may be avoided or reduced if you are eligible for and timely make a valid mark-to-market election. If your H Shares or ADSs were treated as
shares regularly traded on a qualified exchange for United States federal income tax purposes and a valid and timely mark-to-market election was made, in
calculating your taxable income for each taxable year, you generally would be required to take into account as ordinary income or loss the difference, if any, between the fair market value and the adjusted tax basis of your H Shares or ADSs at the
end of your taxable year. However, the amount of loss you would be allowed is limited to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to -market election. The New York Stock Exchange on which the ADSs are traded is a qualified exchange for United States federal income tax purposes.

Alternatively, a timely election to treat us as a qualified electing fund under Section 1295 of the Code could be made to
avoid the foregoing rules with respect to excess distributions and dispositions. You should be aware, however, that if we become a PFIC, we do not intend to satisfy record keeping requirements that would permit you to make a qualified electing
fund election.

##### Table of Contents

If you own the H Shares or ADSs during any year that we are a PFIC, you must
annually file Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, Form 8621(or any other form subsequently specified by the United States Treasury Department), subject to certain exceptions based on the value of PFIC stock held. We encourage you to consult your
own tax advisor concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of holding the H Shares or ADSs that would arise if we were considered a PFIC.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends with respect to the H Shares or ADSs or the proceeds of
the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the H Shares or ADSs paid within the United States, and in some cases, outside of the United States, other than to various exempt recipients, including corporations. In addition, you may, under some
circumstances, be subject to backup withholding with respect to dividends paid on the H Shares or ADSs or the proceeds of any sale, exchange or other disposition of the H Shares or ADSs, unless you:



| |  |  | are a corporation or fall within various other exempt categories, and, when required, demonstrate this fact;
or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide a correct taxpayer identification number on a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or a substitute form, certify that you are exempt from backup withholding and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be creditable against your United States federal income
tax liability provided that you furnish the required information to the IRS in a timely manner. If you do not provide a correct taxpayer identification number you may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.

Certain U.S. holders who are individuals that hold certain foreign financial assets (which may include the H Shares or
ADSs) may be required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this requirement on your ownership and disposition of the H Shares or
ADSs.

Item 11QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK

In the normal course of business, we hold or issue various financial instruments which expose us to
interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks. Additionally, our operations are affected by certain commodity price movements. We historically have not used derivative instruments for hedging or trading purposes. Such activities are
subject to policies approved by our senior management. Substantially all of the financial instruments we hold are for purposes other than trading. We regard an effective market risk management system as an important element of our treasury
function and are currently enhancing our systems. A primary objective of our market risk management is to implement certain methodologies to better measure and monitor risk exposures.

##### Table of Contents

The following discussions and tables, which constitute forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, summarize our market-sensitive financial instruments including fair value, maturity and contract
terms. Such discussions address market risk only and do not present other risks which we face in the normal course of business.

Interest Rate
Risk

Our interest risk exposure arises from changing interest rates. The tables below provide information about
our financial instruments including various debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables present principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates at
expected maturity dates. Weighted-average variable rates are based on effective rates as of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. The information is presented in Renminbi equivalents, our reporting
currency.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct our business primarily in Renminbi. However, a portion of our RMB revenues are converted into other currencies
to meet foreign currency financial instrument obligations and to pay for imported equipment and other materials. Foreign currency payments for imported equipment represented 2.7%, 3.9% and 1.9% of our total payments for equipment in 2013, 2014
and 2015, respectively. Foreign currency payments for other imported materials represented 0.03%, 0.03% and 0.05% of our total payments for materials in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

The Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency. Limitation in foreign exchange transactions imposed by the PRC
government could cause future exchange rates to vary significantly from current or historical exchange rates.

Commodity Price Risk

We are engaged in a wide range of petroleum-related activities and purchase certain
quantity of oil from the international market to meet our demands. The prices of crude oil and refined products in the international market are affected by various factors such as changes in global and regional politics and economy, the demand
and supply of crude oil and refined products, as well as unexpected events and disputes with international repercussions. The domestic crude oil price is determined with reference to the international price of crude oil whereby the prices of
domestic refined products were allowed to adjust more in line with the prices in the international crude oil market. Other than certain subsidiaries of our company, we generally do not use any derivative instruments to evade such price
risks. See Item 3  Key Information  Risk Factors  Risks Related to Pricing and Exchange Rate.

Fees paid by our ADS holders

The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of our ADS program, collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly
from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by
selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

Fees and Payments from the Depositary to Us

From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, we received from the depositary a reimbursement of US$175,423.24, net of
withholding tax, for our continuing annual stock exchange listing fees and our expenses incurred in connection with investor relationship programs. In addition, the depositary has agreed to reimburse us certain amount per year of the facility,
including but not limited to, investor relations expenses or any other American depositary receipts program related expenses. The amount of such reimbursements is subject to certain limits.

Evaluation of the Management on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chairman, who currently performs the function of Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the United States Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, have concluded
that, as of such date, our companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file and furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our companys management, including our principal
executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Managements Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting

Our companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our companys management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, our company evaluated the effectiveness of the its internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our companys management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2015.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and
procedures may deteriorate.

The effectiveness of our companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015 has been audited by KPMG, our companys independent registered public accountants, as stated in its report attached hereto.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

PetroChina Company
Limited:

We have audited PetroChina Company Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). PetroChina Company Limiteds management
is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on PetroChina Company Limiteds internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance

about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A
companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, PetroChina Company Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework(2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated statements of financial position of PetroChina Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, and our report dated April 28, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting

During the year ended December 31, 2015, there were no changes in our

Control  Integrated Framework (2013) and related illustrative documents. We adopted the new framework in 2014.

Audit Committee Pre-approved Policies and Procedures

Currently, all audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accountants, KPMG, must be approved by our
audit committee.

During 2015, services relating to all
non-audit-related fees provided to us by KPMG were approved by our audit committee in accordance with the de minimis exception to the pre-approval requirement provided by paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Item 16D EXEMPTIONS FROM LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

We rely on an exemption contained in paragraph (b)(1)(iv)(D) of Rule 10A-3 under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from the New York Stock Exchange listing requirement that each member of

the audit committee of a listed issuer must be independent. Our single non-independent audit committee member, who is a representative of CNPC, has
only observer status and is not entitled to take any action at the audit committee of our board of directors, which qualifies us for the exemption from the independence requirements available under paragraph (b)(1)(iv)(D) of Rule 10A-3. See Item 6  Directors, Senior Management and Employees  Board Practice  Audit Committee. We believe our reliance on this exemption does not have any adverse effect on the ability
of our audit committee to act independently.

Item 16GCORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We are
incorporated under the laws of the PRC, with A Shares publicly traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, or the SSE, and H Shares publicly traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, or the HKSE, and American Deposit Shares representing H Shares on the
NYSE. As a result, our corporate governance framework is subject to the mandatory provisions of the PRC Company Law and the Corporate Governance Rules as well as the securities laws, regulations and the listing rules of Hong Kong and the United
States.

The following discussion summarizes the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and
those that would apply to a U.S. domestic issuer under the NYSE corporate governance rules.

Director Independence

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.01, a listed company must have a majority of independent directors on its board
of directors. A company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company, or a controlled company, is not required to comply with this requirement. We are not required under the PRC Company
Law and the HKSE Listing Rules to have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors. As of the date of this report, four of our 11 directors were independent non-executive directors.

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.03, the non-management directors of a
listed company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. There are no mandatory requirements under the PRC Company Law and the HKSE Listing Rules that a listed company should hold, and we currently do not hold,
such executive sessions.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.04, a listed company must have a nominating/corporate governance committee
composed entirely of independent directors, with a written charter that covers certain minimum specified duties, but a controlled company is not required to comply with this requirement. The Corporate Governance Code recently amended by the
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong provides that issuers shall establish a nominating committee, and a majority of which should be independent non-executive directors and the chairman shall be served by an
independent non-executive director or the board chairman. We are not required under the PRC Company Law and the HKSE Listing Rules to have a nominating/corporate governance committee. We set up a
nominating committee in August 2015, which consists of the chairman of our board of directors and two independent directors.

Compensation Committee

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.05, a listed company must have a compensation committee composed entirely of
independent directors, with a written charter that covers certain minimum specified duties. A controlled company is not required to comply with this requirement. We are not required under the PRC Company Law to have a compensation
committee. Under the Corporate Governance Code of the HKSE Listing Rules, a listed company must have a remuneration committee composed of a majority of independent non-executive directors, with a written
term of references that covers certain minimum specified duties.

We currently do not have a compensation committee
composed entirely of independent directors. However, we have an evaluation and remuneration committee including a majority of independent non-executive directors.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.09, a listed company must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines that
cover certain minimum specified subjects. We are not required under the PRC Company Law and the HKSE Listing Rules to have, and we do not currently have, formal corporate governance guidelines. However, we have the Articles of Association,
the Rules and Procedures of Board of Directors and the Trial Implementation Rules for Compensation of Senior Management that address the following subjects:



| |  |  | director qualification standards and responsibilities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | key board committee responsibilities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | director compensation; and
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | director orientation and continuing education.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

In addition, under the HKSE Listing Rules, we are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from, certain code
provisions in the Corporate Governance Code of the Listing Rules which sets forth the principles and standards of corporate governance for listed companies. Pursuant to the HKSE Listing Rules, if we choose to deviate from any code provisions of
the Corporate Governance Code, we must disclose such deviations in our annual report.

In 2009, we formulated the
Administrative Measures on Independent Directors, the Administrative Rules on Holding of Company Shares by Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management, the Administrative Measures on Investors Relationship and the rules and procedures of the
Audit Committee, the Performance Review and Compensation Committee, the Investment and Development Committee, and the Safety and Environmental Protection Committee. All these policies have further enhanced our corporate governance system and can
ensure the better performance of duties of directors, supervisors, senior managers and committee members.

In 2010, we
adopted the revised Regulations of PetroChina Company Limited on Disclosure of Information and formulated the Rules and Regulations of PetroChina Company Limited on the Registration of Holders of Insider Information.

In 2013, we formulated an Independent Director Observation and Inquiry Policy to provide an assurance that independent
directors will be better informed of the status of the daily operation, finance management and compliance matters of our company so as for them to better perform their duties.

In 2014, we formulated the Policy for Internal Regulations, Audit Project Regulation, and Enterprise Pension Regulation.

In order to better adapt to the changes in the applicable regulatory frameworks, we have continued to improve our corporate
governance during the reporting period. For example, in 2015, we set up a nominating committee and formulated the Rules of Procedures of the Nominating Committee.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.10, a listed company must adopt and disclose its code of business conduct and
ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. See Item 16B  Code of Ethics. We are not required under the PRC Company Law and the HKSE Listing Rules
to have, and we do not currently have, a code of business conduct and ethics for directors. However, pursuant to the HKSE Listing Rules, all of our directors must comply with the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed
Companies (the Model Code) as set out in the Listing Rules. The Model Code sets forth required standards with which the directors of a listed company must comply in securities transactions of the listed company.

CEO Certification Requirements

Under the NYSE corporate governance rule 303A.12(a), each listed companys CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he
or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards. Our CEO is not required under the PRC Company Law and the HKSE Listing Rules to submit, and our CEO does not currently submit, such
certification. Instead, our chairman, who performs the duties of the CEO, does the certification.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

PetroChina Company
Limited:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of PetroChina Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the PetroChina Company Limiteds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
PetroChina Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), PetroChina Company Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework(2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April 28, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and 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 37).



|2 | BASIS OF PREPARATION
|- | --------------------

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial position and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on managements best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.



|3 | SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|- | ----------------------------------------

(a) Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from
its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

A subsidiary is
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and is no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries except for business
combinations under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred
includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a
business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling
interests proportionate share of the acquirees net assets.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any
non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net
assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

An acquisition of a business which is a business combination under common control is accounted for in a manner similar to a uniting of
interests whereby the assets and liabilities acquired are accounted for at carryover predecessor values to the other party to the business combination with all periods presented as if the operations of the Group and the business acquired have always
been combined. The difference between the consideration paid by the Group and the net assets or liabilities of the business acquired is adjusted against equity.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also
eliminated. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

A listing of the Groups principal subsidiaries is set out in Note 18.

(b) Investments in associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20%
and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements of the Group and are initially recognized at cost.

Under this method of accounting, the Groups share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognized in the
consolidated profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amounts of the
investments. When the Groups share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made
payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent
of the Groups interest in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The Groups investment in associates includes goodwill identified on
acquisition, net of any accumulated loss and is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Groups share of the net identifiable assets of the
acquired associate at the date of acquisition. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

A listing of the Groups principal associates is shown in Note 16.

(c) Investments in joint ventures

Ventures are arrangements in which the Group with one or more parties have joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the
arrangements, rather than rights to their assets and obligations for their liabilities. The Groups interests in joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method of accounting (Note 3(b)) in the consolidated financial statements.

A listing of the Groups principal joint ventures is shown in Note 16.

(d) Transactions with non-controlling interests

Transactions with non-controlling interests are treated as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners of the Group. Gains and losses
resulting from disposals to non-controlling interests are recorded in equity. The differences between any consideration paid and the relevant share of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired resulting from the purchase of
non-controlling interests, are recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest
in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate,
joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that
amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate
is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(e) Foreign currencies

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates (the functional currency). Most assets and operations of the Group are located in the PRC (Note 37), and the functional currency of the Company and most of the consolidated subsidiaries is the Renminbi
(RMB). The consolidated financial statements are presented in the presentation currency of RMB.

Foreign currency transactions
of the Group are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the respective dates of the transactions; monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates at the date of the statement of financial
position; gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.

For the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Groups presentation currency, assets and liabilities for each
statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income presented are translated at the average exchange rates
for each period and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(f) Property, plant and
equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties (Note 3(g)), are initially recorded in the consolidated
statement of financial position at cost where it is probable that they will generate future economic benefits. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into existing use. Subsequent to their initial
recognition, property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (including any impairment).

Depreciation, to write off the cost of each asset, other than oil and gas properties (Note 3(g)), to their residual values over their
estimated useful lives is calculated using the straight-line method.

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



The Group uses the following useful lives for depreciation purposes:



|                        |  |  |              | 
|----------------------- |  |  | ------------ | 
|Buildings               |  |  | 8 - 40 years | 
|Equipment and Machinery |  |  | 4 - 30 years | 
|Motor vehicles          |  |  | 4 - 14 years | 
|Other                   |  |  | 5 - 12 years | 

No depreciation is provided on construction in progress until the assets are completed and ready for use.

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties (Note 3(g)), are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of a cash generating unit exceeds the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in
use. Value in use is the estimated net present value of future cash flows to be derived from the cash generating unit.

Gains and losses
on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are recorded in the consolidated profit or loss.

Interest and other costs on borrowings to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized during the period of time
that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Costs for repairs and maintenance activities are expensed as incurred except for costs of components that result in improvements or betterments which are capitalized as part of
property, plant and equipment and depreciated over their useful lives.

(g) Oil and gas properties

The successful efforts method of accounting is used for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under this method, all costs for
development wells, support equipment and facilities, and proved mineral interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs are expensed when incurred. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending
determination of whether the wells find proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas 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. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a
reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period before the ending date of the period covered by the proved oil and gas reserve report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The costs shall be that prevailing at the end of the period.

Exploratory wells in areas not requiring major capital expenditures are evaluated for economic viability within one year of completion of
drilling. The related well costs are expensed as dry holes if it is determined that such economic viability is not attained. Otherwise, the related well costs are reclassified to oil and gas properties

and are subject to impairment review (Note 3(f)). For exploratory wells that are found
to have economically viable reserves in areas where major capital expenditure will be required before production can commence, the related well costs remain capitalized only if additional drilling is underway or firmly planned. Otherwise the related
well costs are expensed as dry holes. The Group does not have any significant costs of unproved properties capitalized in oil and gas properties.

The Ministry of Land and Resources in China issues production licenses to applicants on the basis of the reserve reports approved by relevant
authorities.

The cost of oil and gas properties is amortized at the field level based on the units of production method. Units of
production rates are based on oil and gas reserves estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities based on the current terms of the Groups production licenses.

(h) Intangible assets and goodwill

Expenditures on acquired patents, trademarks, technical know-how and licenses are capitalized at historical cost and amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are not subsequently revalued. The carrying amount of each intangible asset is reviewed annually and adjusted for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount and is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss. The recoverable amount is
measured as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the estimated net present value of future cash flows to be derived from the asset.

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and represents the excess of the consideration transferred
over the interest in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree.

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.
The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity
investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial
recognition. The Group has principally loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets and limited financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The detailed accounting policies for loans and receivables, available-for-sale
financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss held by the Group are set out below.

Classification

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are
included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than



F-12

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



12 months after the date of the statement of financial position, which are
classified as non-current assets. The Groups loans and receivables comprise accounts receivable, notes receivable and other receivables. The recognition methods for loans and receivables are disclosed in the respective policy notes.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other
categories; these are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the date of the statement of financial position. The Groups available-for-sale financial assets primarily comprise
unquoted equity instruments.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category
if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled
within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the
asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at
fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially
all risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value except where there are no quoted
market prices in active markets and the fair values cannot be reliably measured using valuation techniques. Available-for-sale financial assets that do not have quoted market prices in active markets and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured
are carried at cost. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at
fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the income statement within other income / (expenses), net in the
period in which they arise.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset is impaired. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the available-for-sale financial asset and the present value of the estimated cash flows.

(j) Leases

Leases
of property, plant and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases. The Group has no significant finance leases.

Leases of assets under which a significant portion of the risks and benefits of ownership are effectively retained by the lessors are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any

incentives received from the lessors) are expensed on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms. Payments made to the PRCs land authorities to secure land use rights (excluding mineral properties) are treated as operating leases. Land use rights are generally obtained through advance lump-sum payments and the terms of use
range up to 50 years.

(k) Inventories

Inventories include oil products, chemical products and materials and supplies which are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost is primarily determined by the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads, but excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expenses.

(l) Accounts
receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method, less provision made for impairment of these receivables. Such provision for impairment is established if there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect amounts due according to the original terms of
the receivables. The factors the Group considers when assessing whether an account receivable is impaired include but are not limited to significant financial difficulties of the customer, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or
financial reorganization and default or delinquency in payments. The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate.

(m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less from the time of purchase.

(n) Accounts payable

Accounts payable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

(o) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortized
cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss over the period of the borrowings.

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.



F-14

PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has
unconditional rights to defer settlements of the liabilities for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

(p) Taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying values in the financial statements. However, deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises 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 profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the statement of financial position and are expected to apply to the
period when the related deferred tax asset is realized or deferred tax liability is settled.

The principal temporary differences arise
from depreciation on oil and gas properties and equipment and provision for impairment of receivables, inventories, investments and property, plant and equipment. Deferred tax assets relating to the carry forward of unused tax losses are recognized
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized.

The
Group also incurs various other taxes and levies that are not income taxes. Taxes other than income taxes, which form part of operating expenses, primarily comprise a crude oil special gain levy (Note 9), consumption tax (Note 9),
resource tax (Note 9), urban construction tax, education surcharges and business tax.

(q) Revenue recognition

Sales are recognized upon delivery of products and customer acceptance or performance of services, net of value added taxes and discounts.
Revenues are recognized only when the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods in the ordinary course of the Groups activities, and when the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to
be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured.

The Group markets a portion of its natural gas under take-or-pay contracts. Customers under the take-or-pay contracts are required to take or
pay for the minimum natural gas deliveries specified in the contract clauses. Revenue recognition for natural gas sales and transmission tariff under the take-or-pay contracts follows the accounting policies described in this note. Payments received
from customers for natural gas not yet taken are recorded as deferred revenues until actual deliveries take place.

(r) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events, it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, and reliable estimates of the amounts can be made.

Provision for
future decommissioning and restoration is recognized in full on the installation of oil and gas properties. The amount recognized is the present value of the estimated future expenditure determined in accordance with local conditions and
requirements. A corresponding addition to the related oil and gas properties of an amount equivalent to the provision is also created. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. Any change in the present
value of the estimated expenditure other than due to passage of time which is regarded as interest expense, is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and oil and gas properties.

(s) Research and development

Research expenditure incurred is recognized as an expense. Costs incurred on development projects are recognized as intangible assets to the
extent that such expenditure is expected to generate future economic benefits.

(t) Retirement benefit plans

The Group contributes to various employee retirement benefit plans organized by PRC municipal and provincial governments under which it is
required to make monthly contributions to these plans at prescribed rates for its employees in China. The relevant PRC municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of existing and future retired
employees of the Group in China. The Group has similar retirement benefit plans for its employees in its overseas operations. Contributions to these PRC and overseas plans (defined contribution plan) are charged to expense as incurred.
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 currently has no additional material obligations outstanding for the payment
of retirement and other post-retirement benefits of employees in the PRC or overseas other than what described above.

(v) New accounting developments

(i) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2015
that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

(ii) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that
are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), published in
July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model
for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this
standard is expected to have an impact on the Groups financial assets, but no impact on the Groups financial liabilities.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS15) establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how
much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programs.

IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group is assessing
the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.



|4 | FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
|- | -------------------------------------

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the possibility that changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and the prices of oil and gas products will adversely
affect the value of assets, liabilities and expected future cash flows.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group conducts its domestic business primarily in RMB, but maintains a portion of its assets in other currencies to pay for imported crude
oil, imported equipment and other materials and to meet foreign currency financial liabilities. The Group is exposed to currency risks arising from fluctuations in various foreign currency exchange rates against the RMB. The RMB is not a freely
convertible currency and is regulated by the PRC government. Limitations on foreign exchange transactions imposed by the PRC government could cause future exchange rates to vary significantly from current or historical exchange rates.



F-17

##### Table of Contents

PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



Additionally, the Group operates internationally and foreign exchange
risk arises from future acquisitions and commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Certain entities in the Group might use currency derivatives to manage such foreign exchange risk.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group has no significant interest rate risk on interest-bearing assets. The Groups exposure to interest rate risk arises from its
borrowings. The Groups borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and its borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. However, the exposure to interest rate risk is not
material to the Group. A detailed analysis of the Groups borrowings, together with their respective interest rates and maturity dates, is included in Note 27.

(iii) Price risk

The Group is engaged in a wide range of oil and gas products-related activities. Prices of oil and gas products are affected by a wide range of
global and domestic factors which are beyond the control of the Group. The fluctuations in such prices may have favorable or unfavorable impacts on the Group. The Group did not enter into any material hedging of its price risk during the year.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with banks and credit exposure to customers with outstanding receivable
balances.

A substantial portion of the Groups cash at bank and time deposits are placed with the major state-owned banks and
financial institutions in China and management believes that the credit risk is low.

The Group performs ongoing assessment of the credit
quality of its customers and sets appropriate credit limits taking into account the financial position and past history of defaults of customers. The Groups accounts receivable balances over 3 years have been substantially provided for and
accounts receivable balances within one year are generally neither past due nor impaired. The aging analysis of accounts receivable (net of impairment of accounts receivable) is presented in Note 22. The Groups accounts receivable balances
that are neither past due nor impaired are with customers with no recent history of default.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, time deposits placed with banks, accounts receivable, other receivables and notes receivable included in the consolidated statement of financial position represent the Groups maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial
assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

In managing its liquidity risk, the Group has access to funding at market rates through equity and debt markets, including using undrawn
committed borrowing facilities to meet foreseeable borrowing requirements.



F-18

##### Table of Contents

PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



Given the low level of gearing and continued access to funding, the
Group believes that its liquidity risk is not material.

Analysis of the Groups financial liabilities based on the remaining period
at the date of the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity dates are presented in Note 27.

4.2 Capital
management

The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, optimize
returns for owners and to minimize its cost of capital. In meeting its objectives of managing capital, the Group may issue new shares, adjust its debt levels or the mix between short-term and long-term borrowings.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio which is calculated as interest-bearing borrowings / (interest-bearing borrowings
+ total equity). The gearing ratio at December 31, 2015 is 28.7% (December 31, 2014: 29.0 %).

4.3 Fair value estimation

The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities of
the Group at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are disclosed in the respective accounting policies.

The carrying amounts of the following
financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value as all of them are short-term in nature: cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with maturities over three months but within one year, accounts receivable, other receivables,
trade payables, other payables and short-term borrowings. The fair values of fixed rate long-term borrowings are likely to be different from their respective carrying amounts. Analysis of the fair values and carrying amounts of long-term borrowings
are presented in Note 27.



|5 | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
|- | --------------------------------------------

Estimates and judgments 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 judgments that are involved in preparing
the Groups consolidated 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 amortization 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 amortization 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.

PETROCHINA COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



(b) Estimation of impairment of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties, are reviewed for possible impairments when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates and judgments 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. Favorable changes to some assumptions, or
not updating assumptions previously made, may allow the Group to avoid the need to impair any assets, whereas unfavorable changes may cause the assets to become impaired.

(c) Estimation of asset retirement obligations

Provision is recognized for the future decommissioning and restoration of oil and gas properties. The amount of the provision recognized 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.



|6 | REVENUE
|- | -------

Revenue represents revenues from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, refined
products and petrochemical products and from the transmission of crude oil, refined products and natural gas. Analysis of revenue by segment is shown in Note 37.

The depreciation charge of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2015 included impairment losses of RMB
25,022 (2014: RMB 3,685, 2013: RMB 3,857 primarily related to certain of the Groups chemical production facilities under the Refining and Chemicals segment) primarily related to oil and gas properties and construction in progress under the
Exploration and Production segment of RMB 22,922 (2014: RMB 3,684, 2013: RMB nil).

The primary factor resulting in these impairment
losses in respect of oil and gas properties was the lower price of crude oil, higher production costs and operating costs. The carrying values of these oil and gas properties were written down to their recoverable amounts which were determined based
on the present values of the expected future cash flows of the assets using a pre-tax discount rate for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The oil and gas pricing was a factor used in the determination of the present
values of the expected future cash flows of the assets and had an impact on the recognition of the assets impairment.

The following table
indicates the changes to the Groups exploratory well costs, which are included in construction in progress, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

|(i) | Goodwill primarily relates to the acquisition of Singapore Petroleum Company, Petroineos Trading Limited and United Pipelines (Note 18(ii)), completed in 2009, 2011 and 2015, respectively. The recoverable amount of all
cash-generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks
relating to the cash-generating unit. Based on the estimated recoverable amount, no impairment was identified.

|(a) | Pursuant to the PRC regulations and the Companys Articles of Association, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net profit, as determined under the PRC accounting regulations, to a Statutory Common
Reserve Fund (Reserve Fund). Appropriation to the Reserve Fund may cease when the fund aggregates to 50% of the Companys registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to
shareholders.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | The Reserve Fund shall only be used to make good previous years losses, to expand the Companys production operations, or to increase the capital of the Company. Upon approval of a resolution of shareholders
in a general meeting, the Company may convert its Reserve Fund into share capital and issue bonus shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their original shareholdings or to increase the nominal value of each share currently held by them,
provided that the balance of the Reserve Fund after such issuance is not less than 25% of the Companys registered capital.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | According to the relevant PRC regulations, the distributable reserve is the lower of the retained earnings computed under PRC accounting regulations and IFRS. As of December 31, 2015, the Companys distributable
reserve amounted to RMB 594,437 (December 31, 2014: RMB 608,423).

China has adopted extensive environmental laws and regulations that affect the operation of the oil and gas industry. Under existing

of the Group.

(c) Legal contingencies

Notwithstanding certain insignificant lawsuits as well as other proceedings outstanding, management believes that any resulting liabilities
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

(d) Group insurance

The Group has insurance coverage for vehicles and certain assets that are subject to significant operating risks, third-party liability
insurance against claims relating to personal injury, property and environmental damages that result from accidents and also employer liabilities insurance. The potential effect on the financial position of the Group of any liabilities resulting
from future uninsured incidents cannot be estimated by the Group at present.

|39 | EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
|-- | ---------------------------------

Pursuant to the Notice on Issues Concerning Further
Improving the Refined Oil Price for the Establishment of the Refined Oil Price Mechanism (


LOGOLOGO
) (Fa Gai Jia Ge [2016] No. 64), it is prescribed that commencing from January 13, 2016, a price floor of US$40 per barrel shall be set for the downward adjustment of the refined oil price and a reserve shall also be
created for risks associated with the adjustment and control of oil prices. Accordingly, when the international crude oil price drops to US$40 per barrel or below, i.e. the adjustment price floor, the refined oil price in China shall no longer be
adjusted downwards and all unadjusted amount shall be allocated to the reserve abovementioned for use for the purpose of energy saving or reduction of emission, improving the oil quality and securing a safe supply of refined oil. When the
international crude oil price surges to US$130 per barrel or above, appropriate financial and taxation policies shall be adopted to ensure the production and supply of refined oil but the refined oil price in China shall remain unadjusted or shall
be slightly adjusted upwards in principle. There shall also be a liberalization of the ex-factory price of the liquefied petroleum gas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION

AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update 2010-03 Extractive
Activities  Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (an update of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932 Extractive Activities  Oil and Gas or ASC 932) issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board and corresponding disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, this section provides supplemental information on oil and gas exploration and development; and results of operation related to oil
and gas producing activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) and also the Groups investments that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The supplemental information presented below covers the Groups proved oil and gas reserves estimates, historical cost information
pertaining to capitalized costs, costs incurred for property acquisitions, exploration and development activities, result of operations for oil and gas producing activities, standardized measure of estimated discounted future net cash flows and
changes in estimated discounted future net cash flows.

The Other geographic area includes oil and gas producing activities
principally in countries such as Kazakhstan, Venezuela and Indonesia. As the Group does not have significant reserves held through its investments accounted for using the equity method, information presented in relation to these equity method
investments is presented in the aggregate.

Proved Oil and Gas Reserve Estimates

Proved oil and gas reserves cannot be measured exactly. Reserve estimates are based on many factors related to reservoir performance that
require evaluation by the engineers interpreting the available data, as well as price and other economic factors. The reliability of these estimates at any point in time depends on both the quality and quantity of the technical and economic data,
and the production performance of the reservoirs as well as engineering judgment. Consequently, reserve estimates are subject to revision as additional data become available during the producing life of a reservoir. When a commercial reservoir is
discovered, proved reserves are initially determined based on limited data from the first well or wells. Subsequent data may better define the extent of the reservoir and additional production performance, well tests and engineering studies will
likely improve the reliability of the reserve estimate. The evolution of technology may also result in the application of improved recovery techniques such as supplemental or enhanced recovery projects, or both, which have the potential to increase
reserves.

Proved oil and gas 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.

Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be
the average price during the 12-month period before the ending date of the period covered by this report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined
by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The costs shall be that prevailing at the end of the period.

(All amounts in millions, except for the per share data and otherwise stated)



Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be
expected to be recovered:

a. Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required
equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well.

b. Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure
operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Proved undeveloped oil and gas
reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

The taxes, fees and royalty in China are domestic tax schemes and are paid in cash to PRC authorities. The proved reserves include quantities
that are ultimately produced and sold to pay these taxes, fees and royalty.

Proved reserve estimates as of December 31, 2015 and 2014
were based on reports prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, Gaffney, Cline & Associates, McDaniel & Associates, Ryder Scott and GLJ independent engineering consultants. Proved reserve estimates as of December 31, 2013 were based on reports
prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, Gaffney, Cline & Associates, McDaniel & Associates and GLJ independent engineering consultants.

Estimated quantities of net proved crude oil and condensate and natural gas reserves and of changes in net quantities of proved developed and
undeveloped reserves for each of the periods indicated are as follows:

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 is
based on the prices used in estimating the Groups proved oil and gas reserves, year-end costs, currently enacted tax rates related to existing proved oil and gas reserves and a 10% annual discount factor. Future cash inflows are
net of value-added taxes. Corporate income taxes are included in future income tax expense. Other taxes are included in future production costs as production taxes.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as
