backlog by reporting segment today our projects span 29 countries and we continue 
to extend our footprint careful geographic expansion 
is one of our strategic priorities – helping us to engage 
with more customers develop new capabilities 
establish additional teams and diversify our business
our marketplace
despite continuing economic uncertainty 
global demand for oil and gas remains strong 
and as longterm energy consumption 
continues to escalate hydrocarbons are set 
to continue to play a signiﬁcant role 
this level of longterm demand coupled with 
the natural decline in existing production 
creates a need for largescale investment 
in oil and gas infrastructure as a result 
commercially innovative integrated oilﬁeld 
services will become more sought after – 
which promises to build longterm sustainable 
earnings for our group
the 11 highlighted projects showcase some 
of our successes as well as our distinctive 
deliveryfocused culture

enhancement of oil and gas production above 
an agreed baseline and therefore have no

local operational excellence
at petrofac we have 
a relentless focus on 
operational excellence 
from the moment we decide 
to bid on a project the 
discipline begins a team is 
assembled a tailormade 
execution plan is developed 
risks are identiﬁed suppliers 
are sourced and a member of 
the management team takes 
full responsibility
with a clear understanding of 
cost and complexity we can 
then bring bestinclass on
time delivery at every step of 
the way formal reviews bring 
incremental improvements 
to our overall approach 
every time we identify a better 
way of doing things we aim to 
implement it across the group
this level of rigour is reﬂected 
in everything we do we have 
never lost money on a lump
sum engineering procurement 
and construction project 
which we believe speaks for 
our track record
effective risk 
management
risk management is 
fundamental to the petrofac 
proposition – by working to 
reduce risk in our customers’ 
projects and effectively 
managing risk within our 
own operations
for customers we ‘derisk’ 
projects from the moment 
we choose to bid on a 
project we look for ways to 
provide greater certainty 
share ﬁnancial risks 
and align our respective 
commercial interests
within our own business we 
seek to ensure that risks are 
anticipated and addressed 
– thanks to preinvestment 
in the quality of our bids a 
commitment to efﬁcient and 
effective project delivery and a 
handson management team
petrofac’s management and 
employees hold a signiﬁcant 
shareholding in the business 
– which means we think like 
shareholders with a focus 
on the longterm success of 
the business 
innovative commercial 
approach
we offer a range of 
commercial models – each of 
which is designed to recognise 
our customers’ commercial 
goals and reward petrofac for 
the value we bring
depending on customer 
needs we can operate 
on a ﬁxed price lumpsum 
basis we can also link our 
remuneration to certain goals 
in the case of a production 
enhancement contract we 
can collect a tariff on the 
production improvements we 
make or where we can draw 
on our full range of capabilities 
we can coinvest in upstream 
or infrastructure projects
we are also innovative in 
keeping our own costs down 
– with disciplined procurement 
practices for example 
or smart ways of phasing 
our projects 
local delivery
wherever possible we deliver 
locally – by employing local 
people working with local 
partners and suppliers and 
developing local capabilities
this commitment to local 
delivery and development is 
a key consideration for many 
customers it also enables us 
to work more costeffectively 
as we establish footholds 
in new markets it supports 
our growth 
our training business is 
core to our strategy and 
our capability – facilitating 
our entry into new markets 
cementing longterm customer 
relationships and earning trust 
from the communities in which 
we operate

aligning our respective interests 
us1bn
a signiﬁcant development 
programme
integrated service delivery showcasing 
our range of capabilities 
berantai gas ﬁeld development 
malaysia
the berantai project is an offshore gas ﬁeld 
development involving investment of around 
us1 billion
for the ﬁrst time our integrated energy 
services ies division and our engineering 
construction operations  maintenance 
ecom division deployed their respective 
capabilities on a single integrated project 
this enabled us to do everything from the 
initial conceptual engineering right through to 
the commissioning and ongoing management 
of the facility
one of the things that set the project apart 
was the customer’s tight timescales with a 
full range of inhouse capabilities we could 
really fasttrack delivery and ﬁrst gas was 
produced just 21 months after the ﬁnal 
investment decision
we also devised an innovative commercial 
approach which takes the form of a risk 
service contract our customer petronas 
retains full ownership of its resources and 
petrofac’s returns are directly linked to project 
delivery so our respective interests are 
perfectly aligned
the success has reinforced our credentials in 
the asiapaciﬁc region – and we are working 
with petronas on plans to continue to 
invest in the berantai ﬁeld succeeding in a 
challenging market
the longterm prospects for our industry 
are excellent 
the global appetite for energy will continue 
to grow largescale investments in oil and 
gas infrastructure will be needed to meet 
this demand and offset a natural decline in 
existing production as a result commercially 
innovative integrated oilﬁeld services will be 
more sought after – particularly by national 
oil companies
we are successfully positioning petrofac to 
prosper in this new environment but right 
now the marketplace is challenging and 
our 2013 results reﬂect the realities of the 
situation as we have emphasised in all our 
guidance competition has been intense 
geopolitical uncertainties abound and some 
customers have rethought and rephased 
their investments
even so the group delivered us650 million 
in earnings we continue to deliver 
differentiated margins and returns our 
portfolio is becoming progressively better 
balanced and we closed the year with our 
highest ever order backlog
petrofac therefore proposes a ﬁnal dividend 
of 4380 cents per share for the year ended 
31 december 2013 2012 4300 cents which 
if approved will be paid to shareholders on 
23 may 2014 further details are provided on 
page 49 
given our circumstances and in accordance 
with our guidance growth is set to be ﬂat 
to modest for 2014 but our longerterm 
prospects remain good by expanding 
geographically increasing our offshore 
capability and extending our credentials in 
integrated energy services ies we are on 
course to become the world’s most admired 
oilﬁeld service company and to secure long
term sustainable earnings for the group
scrutinising the strategic direction
against this background it is incumbent on the 
board to scrutinise systematically the strategic 
direction challenge management’s thinking 
and reassure ourselves that petrofac has the 
capability to deliver its strategic goals
throughout 2013 we paid particular attention 
to the group’s deepwater ambitions as part 
of our challenge processes the board 
thought it necessary to consult with external 
independent experts through detailed 
deliberations we concluded that petrofac has 
the right values and credentials to establish 
a differentiated toptier position in the fastest 
growing sector of the global oil and gas 
infrastructure industry
we also scrutinised the progress of the 
ies business although not all projects 
have performed in line with our original 
plans the achievements of the past 
two years are nonetheless signiﬁcant 
with innovative commercial models and 
a focus on operational excellence we are 
clearly gaining traction among national oil 
companies and explorers

strategic report
chairman’s statement
norman murray
nonexecutive chairman
in a tough and 
competitive 
market the 
board invested 
in petrofac’s 
future made 
solid progress 
on our strategic 
goals and 
delivered 
us650 million 
in earnings
 setting the tone from the top
the foundation of petrofac’s continued 
success is our distinctive culture and the 
board sets out to lead by example we see it 
as our collective responsibility to live up to the 
values safe ethical innovative responsive 
quality and cost conscious and driven 
to deliver 
given the nature of our business and 
the geopolitical environment both risk 
management and safety performance are 
key considerations we paid particular 
attention to the three fatalities looked 
closely into the individual circumstances 
and examined the root cause behind each 
of these tragic accidents in addition we 
sought consistent assurances that the safety 
of our teams including our subcontractors is 
never compromised 
in addition we scrutinised the evacuation of 
our in salah operations in algeria
we are disciplined in evaluating the 
performance of the board itself in 2013 we 
appointed an external assessor as part of the 
evaluation process the assessor observed 
our collective performance the workings 
of each committee and my own conduct 
we have just received the assessor’s initial 
report and will provide a full account next year
the composition of the board is another key 
consideration in this regard we were delighted 
that kathy hogenson joined us as a non
executive director kathy brings considerable 
subsurface knowledge which will help to 
inform the ies agenda meanwhile we were 
sorry to bid farewell to maroun semaan co
founder of petrofac who had been with the 
business for 23 years and has made such a 
substantial contribution to the success and 
the culture of the group as well as the quality 
of the board debate we were also sad that 
andy inglis is leaving us but appreciate the 
way he established the ies business and 
understand his reasons for moving on 
reaching a series of 
signiﬁcant decisions
i regard 2013 as a pivotal year in petrofac’s 
development and the decisions made by the 
board are a reﬂection of this fact
given that we are now investing to grow 
ﬁnancing is a key consideration and carrying 
some debt becomes a strategic necessity 
the inaugural bond issue that the board 
sanctioned and oversaw is to me a sign 
of the growing maturity of the business 
the fact that we received such a respectable 
assessment by the ratings agencies suggests 
that the market has every conﬁdence in our 
ability to deliver and allows us to beneﬁt from 
excellent ﬁnancial terms
one of the most signiﬁcant board decisions 
of 2013 was to approve the commissioning 
of a new deepwater installation vessel 
this will provide a unique combination of 
highend capabilities and will enable petrofac 
to build a differentiated toptier engineering 
procurement construction and installation 
epci business focused on highend 
turnkey opportunities
as the group moves into new geographies 
and competes for larger more integrated 
projects the board has also been required 
to sanction a number of highly complex 
bids in doing so we assess the level 
of project management discipline and 
executive capabilities behind them to 
satisfy ourselves that the right mix of risk 
and reward is established
staying close to the inner 
workings of the group
with so much happening across the group 
it is important that our knowledge of petrofac 
extends well beyond the boardroom and 
that we have insights into the realities of the 
everyday business
each year two of our board meetings take 
place in our operational locations and we 
make a point of experiencing our business 
ﬁrst hand in 2013 one of these trips was 
colocated in malaysia and singapore which 
allowed us to meet with our customers 
partners and our contractors we also entered 
a ‘hard hat’ environment to inspect the 
cendor phase 2 ﬂoating production storage 
and ofﬂoading vessel fpso conversion in the 
pasir gudang shipyard
we encourage all of our nonexecutive 
directors to visit other facilities on an 
individual basis in previous years i took 
part in our safety conference in dubai our 
leadership conference and eve excellence 
value energy awards also in dubai as 
well as attending our leadership excellence 
programme at the london business school 
by spending time directly with our employees 
we can better understand what it is about 
petrofac that motivates and engages them 
this feeds directly into board discussions 
about our hr challenges and gives me the 
conﬁdence in our ability to recruit and retain 
sufﬁcient numbers of petrofac employees
looking towards signiﬁcant 
longterm growth potential
when considering petrofac’s strategic 
ambitions it is important to consider 
the group’s record of project execution 
operational excellence its success in 
establishing the ies business and the 
disciplined way in which it is extending its 
offshore capabilities a key consideration for 
the board going forward will be to ensure 
that this distinctive deliveryfocused culture is 
not compromised 
succession planning across all levels and 
areas of the business will therefore remain 
a key consideration meanwhile health 
safety security environmental and integrity 
assurance will always be high on our agenda 
and given the nature and daytoday realities 
of our business risk and crisis management 
will remain important to the board 
looking forward our record backlog gives 
us good visibility of revenues through to 2015 
and beyond we can also be encouraged 
by a healthy bidding pipeline and the return 
to a more measured bidding environment 
this should deliver a performance in line 
with our guidance in the coming year and 
position the group for signiﬁcant growth in 
the longer term

strategic report
group chief executive’s 
strategic review
ayman asfari 
group chief executive 2013 was a challenging but ultimately 
successful year for petrofac
we took signiﬁcant steps towards our 
strategic goals we grew our capability 
we also lived up to our emphasis on 
operational excellence and having 
signed some large and prestigious 
contracts we closed the year with our 
highest ever order backlog
overall we delivered modest growth in earnings 
in the year reﬂecting the rephasing of a small 
number of large projects these external 
factors meant that our ﬁnancial results fell short 
of our initial expectations but the progress we 
have made on the strategic operational and 
business development fronts allows us to face 
2014 with a sense of optimism 
we are establishing an ever stronger and 
more diversiﬁed position in the oilﬁeld services 
sector by aligning our own interests with our 
customers we are set to beneﬁt from the 
need for increased capability to meet the ever 
increasing global demand for energy and i am 
conﬁdent we remain well positioned to deliver 
the type of differentiated margins and returns 
our shareholders have come to expect 
from strategy to delivery
the theme of our annual report continues to 
be from strategy to delivery and the clear 
progress towards our strategic goals should 
be emphasised
across all of our activities our business 
model and our differentiation is based on 
living our values a combination of deep and 
widening capabilities local delivery effective 
risk management innovative commercial 
approaches and a relentless focus on 
operational excellence
our strategic evolution is marked out by 
our three main phases of growth each of 
which is supported by our core technical and 
operational skills
1 building and sustaining a worldclass 
onshore engineering procurement and 
construction epc business – our traditional 
capability that continued to perform strongly 
in 2013
2 delivering an integrated energy services 
ies business making use of innovative 
commercial models which respond to 
customer needs – a capability that is now well
established and gained further traction in 2013
3 growing and enhancing our offshore epc 
capability drawing on our existing project 
management and offshore strengths – an 
emerging capability that builds on our existing 
strengths to which we gave a strategic 
commitment in 2013
as we progress through these phases of 
growth we are achieving a more balanced 
geographic and business model mix we are 
also working across the entire life cycle of our 
customers’ assets – from early development 
right through to decommissioning
fundamental to our success is petrofac’s 
distinctive deliveryfocused culture and 
the six values that sustain it safe ethical 
innovative responsive quality and cost 
conscious and driven to deliver 
managing risk through 
operational excellence
as petrofac pursues its strategic objectives 
then by deﬁnition the company assumes 
more risk 
indeed the main way we create value is to 
assume project risk on behalf of customers 
this could be in the form of a reimbursable 
contract with performancelinked kpis 
traditional lumpsum epc contract duty 
holder operational contract or a fully 
integrated solution in each case we derisk 
the project and align our respective interests 
in this way we can secure improved margins 
and our customers can beneﬁt from certainty 
of delivery
the most effective way of managing these 
risks is a relentless focus on operational 
excellence as well as reducing uncertainties 
this enables us to deliver a sector
leading performance
key to our operational excellence is bidding 
discipline by preinvesting in our bids we get 
better understanding of project complexity 
and we establish more reliability on cost 
we can then be commercially astute in 
negotiating terms and we can reject any 
prospects in which the risks are neither 
manageable nor commensurate with an 
acceptable level of shareholder return 
there is no doubt that our 2013 performance 
was impacted by the highly competitive 
bidding environment we experienced in 2011 
and 2012 whilst some of our competitors 
chose to sacriﬁce their margins we maintained 
our discipline throughout the return to today’s 
more sustainable bidding behaviour suggests 
that we were entirely right to do so
it is a source of great pride that 2013 saw us 
successfully deliver four ‘mega’ projects with 
a gross value of approximately us10 billion

2 overall the portfolio is in very strong shape 
however it is clear that on an isolated number 
of projects our execution could have been 
stronger this highlights the importance of 
our continued drive for excellence across the 
entire portfolio 
building and retaining scarce skills 
and local capabilities
delivering on our strategy requires us 
to attract and retain many more people 
with a more diversiﬁed range of expertise 
– without diluting our distinctive delivery
focused culture
during the year we implemented a range of 
related initiatives 
for example this year’s graduate intake 
will have their professional development 
supported and accelerated by the newly 
established petrofac academy a new 
performance management process was also 
launched along with improvements to our 
leadership excellence programme and our 
groupwide recruitment systems
another important source of differentiation is 
our focus on local delivery wherever possible 
we employ local people work with local 
partners and establish a local supply chain 
as demonstrated in this report all of our 
projects feature high levels of local content – 
which facilitates our entry into new markets 
cements longterm customer relationships 
and reduces our costs
meanwhile the launch of our new code of 
conduct and a renewed focus on internal 
communications helped to reinforce our 
six values 
having said this i regret to report that 
we did experience a deterioration in our 
safety record in 2013 tragically including 
two fatalities in turkmenistan and one in 
algeria our immediate countermeasures 
and the related plans for 2014 are evidence 
of our ongoing commitment to safety – 
which of course is our ﬁrst and our most 
important value and a key component of 
operational excellence
delivering in ecom and increasing 
traction in ies
our traditional onshore epc business 
performed well the delivery of four multi
billion dollar projects in 2013 proves our 
ability to execute large complex contracts 
having visited the completed facilities and 
spoken to our customers i know how satisﬁed 
they are
based on projects awarded during 2013 
and subsequently the quality of the bidding 
pipeline and our historical win rate we 
are conﬁdent of growing our backlog and 
continuing to deliver sectorleading margins 
in 2014
meanwhile ies is now a business of real 
scale which has achieved a threefold 
increase in net proﬁt in just three years 
now we have achieved scale in ies we will 
also focus on consolidating our position 
on our existing assets the performance of 
our existing mexican operations and the 
establishment of new operations in pánuco 
and arenque were deﬁnite highlights – as was 
delivery of ﬁrst gas at the berantai project in 
malaysia we will continue to look to improve 
our execution and return on the ies portfolio 
for example a priority during 2014 will be 
to create greater value on the ticleni project 
where we are evaluating further seismic tests
having led ies for the past three years andy 
inglis has decided to leave us in order to return 
to the usa and we wish him well for the 
future i have enjoyed working closely with him 
and would like to thank him for his contribution 
to building the ies business i now look 
forward to working with rob jewkes who has 
been appointed chief operating ofﬁcer of ies 
and the rest of the team 
fulﬁlling our offshore ambitions
as all of the industry analysis conﬁrms 
offshore production is set to play an increasing 
role in the oil and gas market and the trend is 
to deeper water
petrofac is well positioned to pursue the 
related opportunities with more than 20 
years’ offshore experience we have already 
delivered several billion dollars of offshore 
projects and with recent acquisitions 
such as the offshore engineering and 
consulting business rnz integrated and the 
subsea pipeline consulting and engineering 
services business kw limited and the 
recruitment of several key senior leaders 
we have progressively expanded our 
offshore capabilities

and signiﬁcant

potential we 
enter 2014 in 
a strong 
position
 building on our core skills and capabilities 
we are now growing a differentiated toptier 
offshore epci business focused on high
end turnkey opportunities as in our onshore 
epc business we intend to manage a select 
portfolio of large contracts with a rigorous 
focus on risk management gratifyingly 
we already have the conﬁdence of our 
customers – as demonstrated by the lakach 
development our ﬁrst deepwater contract win 
in mexico and successful prequaliﬁcation for 
several major epci contracts including the 
bonga southwestaparo project in nigeria 
of course to build a business of scale in 
the deepwater epci market we need an 
enabler we are investing therefore in our own 
highend multipurpose installation vessel 
the petrofac jsd 6000 and in the last few 
months have awarded contracts for all of its 
key components 
this uniquely conﬁgured vessel with its 
bestinclass capabilities will give us access 
to highend projects allow us to derisk their 
delivery and also help us to attract the very 
best talent it is scheduled to be available for 
construction and installation activities from 
early 2017  helped along by this capability we 
are looking to build an offshore epci business 
delivering revenues in the order of us2 billion 
by 2020 at strong margins
our people
none of this would be possible without 
our people without doubt our employees 
are our best asset and underpinned by 
our unique culture they ensure we deliver 
on our commitments to our customers 
often they are working on complex projects in 
demanding environments i would like to thank 
each and every one of them for their efforts in 
2013 and i look forward to working with them 
during what i am conﬁdent will be an exciting 
2014 and beyond 
the end of 2013 saw maroun semaan 
cofounder of petrofac retire from the 
company and step down from the board 
i would like to thank maroun for all he has 
done for petrofac he leaves a strong and 
experienced management team clearly 
focused on longterm sustainable growth 
and a considerable legacy on which we 
continue to build 
maintaining our capital discipline
as the group assumes more risk and invests 
in its capability our capital intensity also 
increases – as evidenced by 2013’s inaugural 
bond issue
capital discipline will therefore be a key theme 
for 2014 and beyond 
given the ongoing investments in ies and our 
offshore business we do expect our return 
on capital employed to decrease somewhat 
even so we anticipate that over our ﬁve 
year planning cycle we will deliver returns 
of signiﬁcantly more than 20
as we complete our offshore investment 
programme and ies becomes cash 
generative we also expect the group as a 
whole to return to free cash ﬂow generation
outlook for 2014 and beyond 
with our largest ever order backlog 
investment programme and signiﬁcant growth 
potential we enter 2014 in a strong position
overall we expect to deliver ﬂat to modest 
growth in earnings in 2014 and to return to 
strong earnings growth in 2015
despite the cost pressures that some 
customers are facing i am conﬁdent petrofac 
will continue to capture value through a 
business model that derisks project execution 
and aligns our interests with those of our 
clients over the longer term there will be 
increased demand for energy fuelled by a 
growing global appetite for hydrocarbons 
increased capital spending by resource 
holders and a widening capability gap within 
our sector petrofac and our shareholders 
will be well positioned to beneﬁt from 
these conditions

to help the group assess its performance 
executive management sets kpi targets and 
monitors and assesses performance against 
these benchmarks on a regular basis  description
eps provides a measure of net proﬁtability of the 
group taking into account changes in the capital 
structure for example the issuance of additional 
share capital
measurement
as reported in the consolidated income statement 
and calculated in accordance with note 7 to the 
ﬁnancial statements
description
the group uses this kpi as a measure of the 
visibility of future revenues
measurement
backlog consists of the estimated revenue attributable 
to the uncompleted portion of lumpsum engineering 
procurement and construction contracts and variation 
orders plus with regard to engineering operations 
maintenance and integrated energy services 
contracts the estimated revenue attributable to the 
lesser of the remaining term of the contract and ﬁve 
years backlog will not be booked on integrated 
energy services contracts where the group has 
entitlement to reserves the group uses this key 
performance indicator as a measure of the visibility of 
future revenue backlog is not an audited measure
description 
these kpis measure both the absolute amount of 
cash generated from operations and the conversion 
of ebitda to cash
measurement
cash generated from operations is as per the 
consolidated cash ﬂow statement cash conversion 
is cash from operations divided by ebitda
description 
provides a measure of the safety performance of 
the group including partners and subcontractors
measurement
lost time injury lti and recordable injury ri 
frequency rates are measured on the basis of 
reported lti and ri statistics for all petrofac 
companies subcontractors and partners 
expressed as a frequency rate per 200000  
manhours we aim continually to improve our 
safety record but our target for these measures

the second largest gas ﬁeld 
in the world
a huge project in a  
tough environment
galkynysh gas ﬁeld t urkmenistan
galkynysh which appears on the front cover 
of this annual report is the world’s second 
largest gas ﬁeld and at us34 billion its 
new processing facility was our largest ever 
epc contract
it was always going to be a challenging project
the remote landlocked location is difﬁcult 
to reach the desert climate veers from 
suffocating heat to debilitating cold 
and we had just 33 months to complete 
the entire facility 
sophisticated logistics and detailed planning 
were a necessity a mix of road air  rail sea 
and river freight was used to secure the right 
materials at the right time dedicated 
translation teams were on hand to ensure 
smooth passage through borders and across 
tough terrains
with several other major energy projects 
underway in the caspian region we also had 
to work hard to secure enough skilled people 
but we established a dedicated training centre 
in a nearby town and successfully partnered 
with 60 contractors involving more than 
14500 employees – three quarters of whom 
were t urkmen
the project designed to process 10 billion 
cubic metres of gas a year was successfully 
completed within budget inaugurated and 
handed over to our customer turkmengas 
the national gas company of turkmenistan 
in september 201 3 our longterm market 
fundamentals are robust
we believe the longerterm oil and gas market 
fundamentals are robust – and petrofac is well 
positioned to beneﬁt
among industry analysts there is clear 
consensus that global energy demand is set 
to grow strongly and that hydrocarbons will 
continue to play a signiﬁcant role large scale 
investments in oil and gas infrastructure 
will therefore be needed to meet this 
demand and to offset a natural decline in 
existing production 
in terms of the global appetite for energy 
the international energy agency iea 
estimates that demand is set to increase 
by onethird between 2011 and 2035 
although renewables will account for an 
increasing share of the mix the iea forecasts 
that hydrocarbons will still account for 76 of 
the total in 2035
1

over recent years exploration and production 
companies have been investing close to 
us700 billion annually in upstream capital 
expenditure and us500 billion in operating 
expenditure whilst the international oil 
companies iocs may be facing ongoing 
cost pressures there are clear indications 
that the national oil companies nocs 
will continue to invest – particularly if their 
partners like petrofac are able to offer 
innovative commercial models and assume 
a greater share of the related risks
see chart 1
we see an inbuilt need for reinvestment in 
existing ﬁelds in order to arrest their declining 
production indeed once production has 
peaked a conventional oil ﬁeld can expect to 
see annual declines of around 6 per year
2
 
– meaning that the industry is forced to work 
hard just to stand still
petrofac is well positioned to 
succeed in the most promising 
subsegments
over the longterm we expect upstream 
capital spending to grow by at least 5 
annually as this is the minimum that will be 
required to offset the underlying production 
decline compared with previous years this 
does represent something of a slowdown 
however certain subsegments are poised 
for higher levels of investment from which 
petrofac is well positioned to beneﬁt
 good prospects in the middle east 
– where petrofac is well established 
following the disruption of the arab spring 
spend is stepping up in the middle east 
given that the region beneﬁts from relatively 
low supply costs we expect it to continue 
to perform well 
given our wellestablished presence in the 
region petrofac should beneﬁt from the 
anticipated upturn for example our 2014 
bidding pipeline for onshore engineering 
 construction oec is attractive by the 
close of 2013 our high priority prospects 
expected to come to market during 2014 
totalled approximately us50 billion 
including downstream opportunities a 
large proportion of which are in the middle 
east and north africa mena region
see chart 2
 continued investment from nocs  
the nocs collectively control around 
80 of combined conventional and 
unconventional reserves given that 
nocs are typically less sensitive to the 
cost pressures facing the iocs and are 
required to make longterm investments 
they are showing the strongest increases 
in spending 
by building on strong wellestablished 
relationships with many of the world’s 
leading nocs petrofac is well positioned 
in this area
 a case for investment in mature ﬁelds – 
where petrofac has strong credentials 
again mature ﬁelds are playing an 
important role the number of producing 
ﬁelds is growing and the portfolio is ageing 
which is increasing the related spend 
in particular we see deﬁnite potential for 
enhanced recovery in mature ﬁelds 
these trends are important drivers for 
both our integrated energy services ies 
and offshore projects  operations opo 
service lines our experience in mexico 
where we have increased production of 
the magallanes and santuario blocks 
by around 45 since we took over 
operations is a good demonstration of 
the ongoing potential

2  the deepwater trends are positive 
– where petrofac is building a 
differentiated capability 
the longerterm trend towards the deep 
water offshore is also positive both 2012 
and 2013 were strong years for deepwater 
exploration licence awards this should 
translate into healthy growth in deepwater 
development capital expenditure over the 
next few years the subsea umbilicals risers 
and ﬂowlines surf market alone is expected 
to double between 2013 and 2020
3
 
by building a differentiated toptier capability 
in the deepwater market petrofac is again 
well positioned to beneﬁt 
see charts 3 and 4
in addition to sustained spending on 
upstream oil and gas projects we are also 
well placed to participate in a visible market of 
downstream opportunities such as reﬁning 
and petrochemicals 
despite a highly competitive bidding 
environment in many of our established 
markets the key drivers of capital and 
operational expenditure should ensure that 
demand for our services remains strong over 
the long term

4 turning an industry challenge 
to our advantage
we believe that the changing economics 
within the industry play to petrofac’s 
strengths in operational excellence – as 
well as our expertise in devising innovative 
commercial approaches
research shows that despite oil prices 
remaining at sustained high levels the returns 
for many asset owners are being squeezed 
by factors including cost inﬂation regulatory 
pressures more challenging projects and of 
course budget miscalculations in the past 
rising oil prices and reserve upsides may have 
saved many projects – but this is unlikely to 
remain the case in the future
see chart 5
several recent surveys reveal signiﬁcant and 
continuing inefﬁciencies 
for example schlumberger cited in its 
business consulting survey that 66 of large 
projects were over budget and 72 were 
behind schedule
4
 in terms of operations 
oil and gas uk reports that production 
efﬁciency in the uk continental shelf ukcs 
had slipped from 80 in 2004 to 60 in 2012 
– representing a signiﬁcant deterioration at 
considerable cost
5

clearly the industry cannot afford this level 
of poor performance to continue from our 
own experience we know that oil companies 
are increasingly reluctant to absorb all of the 
risk while their contractors charge for time 
and materials increasingly customers will 
demand certainty of delivery and budget and 
we believe they will look for three key things in 
their suppliers
 a clear capability to deliver the work on 
the ground
 a competitive cost base with a culture of 
cost control and incremental improvement
 a willingness to share in the risk of delivery 
– whether that be through a lumpsum epc 
contract a performancerelated operational 
contract or coinvestment and tariffsharing 
in a fully integrated contract
given our business model and our distinctive 
deliveryfocused culture this emerging 
industry challenge represents a deﬁnite 
opportunity for petrofac to grow market share
ongoing improvements in the 
competitive environment
although 2013 presented its challenges 
we were able to close the year with our 
highest ever order backlog and an attractive 
bidding pipeline
the opportunities before us are relatively well
balanced across our geographies as well as 
our reporting segments
 onshore engineering  construction 
oec 
we are one of the largest onshore oil and 
gas epc contractors across the middle 
east and north africa mena we have 
a strong track record in several other 
regions and we continue to extend our 
geographic footprint 
in 2013 with an order intake of 
us62 billion we returned to the levels 
that we last saw in 2009 and 2010 
order intake was much lower in 2011 and 
2012 which were years of very intense 
competition whilst many of our competitors 
won signiﬁcant work at very low margins 
during this period we retained our bidding 
discipline as a consequence we did not 
build sufﬁcient order backlog to sustain our 
revenue growth through 2013 – but we have 
continued to deliver sectorleading margins 
while many of our peers have seen a trend 
of falling net margins

6 7 the competitive landscape has improved 
in recent months we have seen more 
sustainable bidding behaviour from our 
peers and as a result we are now enjoying 
a high win rate in summary 2013 can 
be regarded as one of our best years in 
terms of new orders and we expect to 
return to revenue growth in oec over the 
medium term
 offshore projects  operations opo 
opo has a particularly strong and well
established position in the uk market as an 
innovator we developed the duty holder 
model more than 15 years ago and see 
opportunities to evolve our model further
through our experience in such a mature 
and highly skilled market as the uk we 
have established a deep set of offshore 
skills and capabilities drawing on these 
credentials we have been able to enter new 
markets and take over the management of 
mature assets in integrated energy services 
– prime examples being our operations in 
mexico and romania
opo has delivered strong growth over the 
past few years and prospects continue 
to be promising while the uk oil services 
market is always competitive it remains 
robust with increasing spend on the ageing 
asset base we also see good opportunities 
to expand internationally – in iraq for 
example we are growing an operations 
and maintenance business with revenues 
approaching us200 million in 2013
increasingly opo is undertaking offshore 
epci projects drawing on this experience 
we are now building a toptier offshore 
epci business to access highend turnkey 
opportunities where there is signiﬁcant 
epc content over and above the value 
of the installation services this epci 
business will expand our access to 
offshore facilities work it will also access 
the deepwater and surf markets and will 
selectively address ﬂoating production and 
pipeline opportunities
the way we approach offshore epci will 
be similar to our onshore work we will 
manage a small portfolio of large contracts 
with a rigorous focus on risk management 
our customers will be nocs and iocs and 
we will initially focus on those geographic 
regions where we have existing capability 
and a track record of execution
while much of the offshore market may be 
commoditised with excess capacity the 
highend of the offshore epci market is very 
different with demand outstripping supply 
we have also seen recent consolidation 
with some high proﬁle mergers and alliance 
agreements we are therefore conﬁdent that 
there is a clear opportunity for a new entrant 
in this highend market
 engineering  consulting services 
ecs 
across every facet of petrofac’s activity 
ecs provides a marketleading engineering 
capability – and a fully integrated 
engineering service has become a real 
differentiator for the group
for example it gives us the technical 
capability to undertake largescale projects 
like the us1 billion berantai development 
in malaysia see case study on page 13 
and the us34 billion processing facility 
at the galkynysh gas ﬁeld development in 
turkmenistan see case study on page 23 
with the move into offshore epci projects 
we are building the ecs capability so that 
we can also excel in subsea engineering 
for example through the acquisition of kw 
limited a subsea engineering specialist 
through our work in the asiapaciﬁc 
region for example we are progressively 
enhancing our credentials in the deepwater 
offshore engineering services sector 
and this capability will help the wider 
petrofac group to succeed with evermore 
sophisticated offshore assignments such 
as deepwater surf and pipeline contracts
 integrated energy services ies 
in the three years since our ies business 
was established it has achieved signiﬁcant 
momentum with ﬁve operating centres 
3200 employees and 11 assets under 
operation the strength of this portfolio 
combined with a backlog of us39 billion 
and the positive market conditions look set 
to sustain ies earnings over the long term
the fundamental premise underpinning our 
ies strategy is that the upstream industry is 
short of capability our analysis and direct 
experience suggest that those industry 
players with growing capability gaps are 
looking for innovative ways to source 
scarce expertise
our response to this market demand is 
our integrated service offer which allows 
us to earn a differentiated margin for the 
capability we provide the focus is on 
nocs who are sitting on a vast potential 
in their mature ﬁelds often operating below 
their peak in addition we are responding 
to the niche explorers who are seeking to 
move from exploration to development and 
require the capability and capital to do so
we have achieved a number of signiﬁcant 
operational successes to date such as 
the signiﬁcant progress on block pm304 
in malaysia see case study on page 44 
and increasing the production from the 
magallanes and santuario blocks in mexico 
by 45 since we took over operations in 
february 2012 see case study on page 32 
we were also able to grow the potential of 
our existing assets during 2013 in mexico 
the ﬁrst nearﬁeld opportunity that we 
drilled added potentially 50 million barrels 
of contract production – with the potential 
of more to come across the santuario 
magallanes pánuco and arenque 
production enhancement contracts
in addition we are pursuing opportunities 
in regions that offer signiﬁcant resource 
potential and recurring opportunities 
and where we have the relationships 
and capability to deliver locally – more 
speciﬁcally southeast asia west africa

27 the principal risks and uncertainties we face are 
outlined below 
these are the most signiﬁcant risks that could have adverse impact on our ﬁnancial position or business 
performance their occurrence could therefore reduce the likelihood of us achieving our strategic goals
our business risk systems combined with the board’s ownership of strategic risk ensure that a risk 
management culture is embedded in business details and 2013 developments are included in the board 
risk committee report on pages 86 to 91
details of how our risk 
framework has evolved

risk mitigation and management commentslinks
sovereign country and ﬁnancial market risks
overexposure to a single 
market risk
the risk of overconcentration 
in a particular market 
or geography 
as we pursue our business strategy we are achieving a more balanced 
geographic and business model mix we are also working across the 
entire life cycle of our customers’ assets – from early development right 
through to decommissioning
when considering the entry into new territories or extending our 
activities in existing territories our plans are reviewed by the group risk 
committee the board risk committee regularly reviews the overall 
concentration risk
we also take all reasonable measures to reduce and limit our 
commercial exposure in each territory this includes regular security risk 
assessments careful selection of contracting parties outofcountry 
arbitration advance payments and disciplined cash management
counterparty risks
the risk of ﬁnancial or 
commercial exposure if 
counterparties such as key 
ﬁnancial institutions customers 
partners subcontractors 
or vendors default on 
their commitments 
we aim to minimise our cash ﬂow exposure on contracts especially 
where we deploy capital alongside our services such as in certain ies 
contracts we will only do so where we are comfortable with the level of 
counterparty risk and with the contractual terms and conditions
we regularly monitor our exposure and ensure that our ﬁnancial assets 
are spread across a number of creditworthy ﬁnancial institutions and that 
limits are not breached 
our sovereign and financial market risk policy requires that material 
ﬁnancial counterparty risk is only held with counterparties that are rated 
by standard and poor’s as ‘a’ or better or the equivalent moody’s rating 
financial counterparty risk is managed by group treasury 
the board risk committee has established speciﬁc limits for 
ﬁnancial counterparties
liquidity risk
the risk arising if we were 
not able to meet our 
ﬁnancial commitments
we manage liquidity risk by ensuring that we always maintain an 
adequate level of liquidity in the form of readily available cash shortterm 
investments or committed credit facilities
as the group has grown we are investing more of our surplus cash 
into strategic investments and other opportunities particularly in ies 
in 2013 we launched our inaugural bond issue as a means to invest in the 
business and secure additional liquidity
the board risk committee has deﬁned a minimum level of liquidity 
that must be maintained additionally the board has set a target for the 
maximum level of leverage cash ﬂow forecasting is carried out across 
all service lines on a regular basis to identify any funding requirements 
well in advance

sovereign country and ﬁnancial market risks continued
investment risks
the risk that poor investment 
decisions could negatively 
impact our business
this includes investments in the 
business itself and coinvestment 
in our customers’ assets as is 
often the case with ies contracts
as the group moves into new geographies and competes for larger 
more integrated projects the board is required to sanction more complex 
bids and investments in doing so it assesses the level of project 
management discipline and executive capability behind them to satisfy 
itself that the right mix of risk and reward is established 
business disruption risks
the risk of exposure to civil or 
political unrest civil war regime 
change or sanctions that could 
adversely affect our operations
there is also a risk that it 
security failings could result 
in the loss of commercially 
sensitive data
we face a range of political risks in a variety of territories including the 
possibility of unforeseen regime change as well as legal or regulatory 
changes the board regularly monitors the changing political landscape 
particularly in those countries regarded as unpredictable
security risk assessments are carried out in all high risk territories before 
entering into new contracts careful consideration is also given to project 
investment and income exposures and to the associated contract terms 
and conditions as well as facing external cybersecurity threats almost 
every business is increasingly dependent on the ongoing capability and 
reliability of its it platforms across petrofac we are alert to the related 
risks and conscious of the need to be able to respond effectively to any 
farreaching systems failure
commodity or currency risks
signiﬁcant movements in 
exchange rates could impact our 
ﬁnancial performance
also volatility in oil and gas 
prices could inﬂuence the level 
of investment in the industry 
– and hence the demand for 
our services
the ﬁnancial performance of 
ies is more susceptible to oil 
and gas price volatility due to 
production sharing contracts 
and equity positions
the majority of group revenues are denominated in us dollars or 
currencies pegged to the us dollar in instances where we are procuring 
equipment or incurring costs in other currencies we use forward 
currency contracts to hedge any related exposures
opo’s revenues and costs are principally denominated in sterling 
however we choose not to hedge these revenues as they are 
substantially matched by the sterling costs of our corporate ofﬁce 
and other ukbased activities
as detailed in the operating environment section we expect demand 
for our services to remain robust and to be largely insulated from any 
shortterm ﬂuctuations in oil and gas prices however we do recognise 
the impact that a fall in oil prices could have on our future backlog 
and margins
under our sovereign and financial market risk policy we aim to hedge 
on a rolling annual basis the net proﬁt exposure from at least 75 of our 
lowestimate of production however we do not begin hedging until a 
development has achieved steadystate production
operational and contractual risks
customer concentration risks
the risk of overexposure to any 
one customer – and the impact 
this could have if the relationship 
were to be jeopardised
the board regularly monitors the total value of contracts by customer to 
ensure that we are not overly dependent on any one relationship 
in ecom our customerbase is already widely disaggregated we are 
also working towards a larger client portfolio for ies through our 
business strategy we are progressively diversifying our business in 
terms of service lines locations and business models
in addition we have a formal programme of regular senior level dialogue 
with our major customers to understand and preempt any concerns 
they may have

north africa during 2013 our 
activities suffered minimal 
disruption see page 56 for 
details
the effective evacuation 
of our in salah gas plant 
in algeria helped us 
to test and reﬁne our 
related procedures
see note 29 to the ﬁnancial 
statements for details of our 
oil and gas derivative 
instruments and foreign 
currency exposures and how 
they are managed
over the medium term 
growth in ies is expected 
to be primarily driven by 
risk service contracts and 
production enhancement 
contracts where we have 
less exposure to changing 
oil and gas prices
under our operating 
framework for managing 
such risks we have a 
number of relevant policies 
including our operational 
and contractual risk policy risk mitigation and management commentslinks
operational and contractual risks continued
competition risks
the risk of a signiﬁcant change 
to the marketplace dynamics – 
and the ways in which this could 
threaten our market position or 
our geographic footprint
as noted in the operating environment section we expect the demand 
for our services to remain robust over the long term
our business strategy assumes that a high level of competition will 
continue – but our progressive diversiﬁcation continues to grow the size 
of our addressable market 
bidtowin ratios and segmental competition is regularly analysed to 
monitor this risk
environmental asset integrity 
and safety risks
the risk of experiencing a 
serious environmental asset 
integrity or safety incident – and 
the commercial and reputational 
damage that could be caused
our strong culture of health safety and environmental awareness 
is central to our operational and business activities this culture is 
continually reemphasised and is supported by our operating framework 
and its associated management processes and systems – including our 
asset integrity framework
we also have a wide variety of controls embedded within the business 
including hsseia processes safety case management processes 
major accident hazard risk assessments and audits and regular 
monitoring of integrity management and maintenance schedules 
for all of our contracts the respective management teams also review 
the commercial arrangements with clients maintain emergency 
preparedness plans and review insurance coverage
contractual performance 
risks
the fact that we work on a 
relatively small number of 
very large contracts – and the 
implications for our ﬁnancial 
performance if any of these 
contracts were to be disrupted
we have a strong track record of successful project execution from bid 
submission through to project completion which demonstrates our 
rigorous approach to risk identiﬁcation and mitigation meanwhile the 
status on all key projects is regularly reviewed by senior management 
and reported to the board
our design integrity assurance processes involve the robust challenge 
of all speciﬁcations including peerreview assessment as well as on
going integrity risk reviews also our subcontractor risk management 
strategy involves the retention of competent subcontractors with a track 
record of delivery
we always seek to avoid liabilities that are unquantiﬁable or for which we 
could not reasonably be held responsible we also monitor the level of 
insurance provision and the extent to which we could bear the ﬁnancial 
consequences of a major disruption
risk transfer arrangements
if we are unable to transfer 
certain risks to the insurance 
market due to the availability or 
cost of cover for example we 
could be exposed to material 
uninsured losses
we maintain an insurance programme to provide mitigation against 
signiﬁcant losses this programme is consistent with general industry 
practice and it also incorporates a captive insurance vehicle 
all insurance policies that we purchase are subject to certain limits 
deductibles and speciﬁc terms and conditions in addition insurance 
premium costs are subject to changes based on various facts including 
a particular company’s loss experience the overall loss experience of 
the insurance markets accessed and capacity constraints

operational and contractual risks continued
organisation and  
succession risks
the availability of sufﬁciently 
skilled experienced and capable 
personnel particularly at 
senior levels is one of the most 
signiﬁcant challenges facing the 
oil and gas industry
given our ambitious growth targets it is necessary for petrofac 
to attract and retain signiﬁcant numbers of appropriately qualiﬁed 
employees we have therefore developed a more systematic  
groupwide approach to talent management 
we regularly review our resourcing needs and aim to identify and 
nurture the best people through talent and performance management 
linked to effective succession planning and recruitment
we remain conﬁdent that our policies to attract train promote and 
reward our people will be sufﬁcient for the group – and will enable us to 
meet our strategic goals
ethical social and regulatory risks
major breaches of our  
code of conduct
the risk that employees or suppliers 
may fail to live up to our high ethical 
standards – and the consequent 
impact on our reputation 
our code of conduct sets out the behaviours we expect of our 
employees and the third parties we work with including suppliers 
contractors agents and partners we have a full programme of  
ongoing activity to embed this code of conduct across the group
we are also disciplined in monitoring and managing the social impacts 
of our operations as set out in our social performance standard 
this includes supporting and investing in local communities affected by 
our operations
we seek assurances that the third parties we employ comply with our 
code of conduct and the principles set out in our ethical social and 
regulatory risk policy and our social performance standard 
in addition our external affairs risk reviews help to identify possible 
areas of exposure and to ensure that we put appropriate controls 
in place 
major regulatory breaches 
including bribery and 
corruption
the potential ﬁnancial and 
reputational risk that would arise 
if any of our employees or third 
parties were to breach local or 
international laws
our business is conducted in a growing range of territories and is 
therefore subject to a broad range of legislation and regulations
the group has an anticorruption compliance programme that 
seeks to manage related risks across all of our business activities 
this programme recognises the requirements of the uk bribery act 
2010 and focuses on training monitoring risk management and 
due diligence
our management takes a riskbased approach to due diligence and 
risk assessment in recent years we have increased the level of due 
diligence for new contracts in higherrisk countries where appropriate 
this includes the commissioning of independent investigations 
we continue to reemphasise our independently managed 
whistleblowing line available to all employees as well as third parties – 
and are fully committed to investigating any suspected breaches of our 
code of conduct

boosting the production 
of ageing assets 
magallanes and santuario mexico
since taking responsibility for the magallanes 
and santuario production enhancement 
contracts we have boosted output by 45 
since we took over operations and the 
known resource base is up by more than 
10 – which means that pemex has seen a 
signiﬁcant increase in both the scale and the 
efﬁciency of its assets
originally commissioned in the early 1960s 
these oilﬁelds had been largely ignored in 
favour of other better producing ﬁelds and 
only one in ten of the drilled wells remained 
productive but drawing on our broadbased 
capabilities we knew that a combination 
of innovation focus and hard work could 
maximise the inherent resources we knew 
the ﬁelds still retained 
an innovative commercial approach is part 
of the story 
under the terms of the 25year contract we 
receive a 75 reimbursement for our capital 
investment and operating expenditure 
plus a tariff for every barrel of incremental 
production this means we are remunerated 
for the value we bring yet pemex retains 
ownership and control of its assets
building on our success we have now been 
awarded two more pemex contracts 
we are of course recruiting and training

segmental analysis
rob jewkes was appointed to chief operating ofﬁcer ies in january 2014 following andy inglis’ resignation 
in the oilﬁeld services 
business there is no typical 
project but the upper 
zakum ﬁeld development is 
particularly unusual
located across four artiﬁcial islands 
80km off the abu dhabi coastline 
it’s a strange hybrid – a huge onshore 
project requiring an unusual blend 
of offshore skills and disciplines
awarded by the zakum 
development company zadco 
this us37 billion engineering 
procurement construction 
transportation and commissioning 
epic2 contract sees petrofac 
emirates working in partnership 
with daewoo shipbuilding  
marine engineering co ltd 
and coordinating more than 30 
specialist subcontractors
on a project of this scale you 
would expect to see at least 10000 
people and hundreds of acres of 
storage but at upper zakum’s 
isolated island sites space is at 
a real premium – and it all needs 
to be done differently
everything is corralled into distinct 
phases and almost 50 of the 
fabrication work takes place more 
than 6000km away in south 
korea singapore and china 
the construction sequence on 
the islands is the driver to the 
engineering procurement and 
module fabrication sequence and 
delivery from the yards with some 
modules weighing in at more than 
3000 tonnes precision planning is 
vital expertise in logistics is just as 
important as engineering prowess

in abu dhabi algeria and turkmenistan 
we have commenced early work on our 
recently awarded projects including on the 
upper zakum ﬁeld development in abu dhabi 
where we have been undertaking capacity 
enhancement studies these studies have the 
potential to increase the scale and duration 
of the upper zakum project and as we have 
previously indicated the revised phasing 
has resulted in the deferral of signiﬁcant 
revenue and margin compared with our 
original expectations from 2014 into 2015 
and beyond
following the terrorist attack which took place 
in january 2013 at the in amenas natural gas 
site in algeria at the request of our client 
we evacuated our staff on a temporary basis 
from the in salah southern ﬁelds development 
in that country full remobilisation to site

during 2013 we secured further 
north sea contract renewals 
which are a good indication of 
the way that customer needs are 
evolving – and how petrofac is 
responding
ever since we began working in the north sea 
we have been looking for innovative new ways 
to meet customer needs it was petrofac who 
pioneered the duty holder model and across 
several contracts we brought progressive 
improvements to production safety and 
asset integrity
during this time customer needs have 
continued to evolve some operators require 
largescale operational support for their 
managed assets and we have recently been 
awarded a twoyear extension to a ﬁveyear 
contract for total to deliver technical services 
on the alwyn and dunbar platforms we have 
demonstrated over many years that we are 
able to increase production improve safety 
and asset integrity and reduce maintenance 
backlog using the duty holder model and we 
have extended our contract on the kittiwake 
platform until the end of 2014 
most recently we have seen that some 
operators are keen to assume more 
responsibility for their assets and we are 
helping them though this transition by 
changing the type of support we provide 
and gradually enabling them to achieve 
greater autonomy
in our latest agreements with enquest for 
example we have replaced duty holder with 
a combination of operations and maintenance 
support and what we’ve called ‘duty holder 
support services’ across a wider range of 
its assets 
it’s all about understanding our customers 
drawing on our breadth of capabilities and 
adapting our approach accordingly

as petrofac continues to move into 
new geographies and disciplines 
the work of our engineering  
consulting services ecs 
business becomes evermore 
diverse
the core ecs capability has always been 
conceptual and frontend engineering and 
detailed design today this has evolved 
into an everexpanding business across 
the middle east and north africa cis 
asiapaciﬁc europe the americas and 
australia historically driven by growth of its 
onshore business
but as petrofac has extended its offshore 
credentials so too has the ecs team 
in mexico’s lakach project for example we 
are assisting with almost every aspect of the 
extensive subsea production infrastructure 
and with petrofac’s move into longer
term more strategic relationships with oil 
companies and explorers ecs has built a 
toptier engineering services proposition – as 
indicated by the broad scope of our threeyear 
contract at the in salah and amenas facilities 
in algeria and a ﬁveyear contract with 
petronas carigali in malaysia
with the progressive move into deeper 
water operations ecs is also excelling in 
subsea engineering through our work in 
the asiapaciﬁc region we are progressively 
enhancing our credentials in the deepwater 
offshore engineering services sector and this 
capability helps the wider petrofac group 
to succeed with evermore sophisticated 
offshore assignments – such as deepwater 
surf and pipeline contracts
our specialist consultancies have also 
performed well in particular plant asset 
management which has developed a rapidly 
expanding portfolio with ioc and noc 
customers globally
across every facet of petrofac’s activity ecs 
provides a leading engineering capability 
this ability to offer a fully integrated 
engineering service has become a real 
differentiator for the group

offshore block oml119
 fpf3 lease on jasmine ﬁeld in the gulf 
of thailand extended for up to four years 
with mubadala petroleum thailand opo 
will continue to provide operations and 
maintenance services

located offshore peninsular 
malaysia block pm304 was 
originally classed as a marginal 
resource deemed too challenging 
to develop today it is among 
malaysia’s largest oil ﬁelds
petrofac’s involvement dates back to 2004 
when we ﬁrst began working petronas 
from a standing start we submitted our ﬁrst 
ﬁeld development plan in just ﬁve months a 
record for malaysia we then used a mobile 
offshore production unit to develop the 
resource another ﬁrst for malaysia and ﬁrst 
oil was produced in 2006 just 16 months 
from sanction 
this same level of performance and innovation 
has come to characterise our operations 
from original estimates of recoverable 
volumes of just 12 million barrels block 
pm304 is now expected to yield some 
200 million barrels the good performance 
continued throughout 2013 – when we 
produced ﬁrst oil on west desaru had 
appraisal success on central graben east 
desaru and east cendor and achieved 
10 million hours without a single lost time 
incident lti at the cendor phase 2 project
we expect production from block pm304 to 
increase in 2014 as we continue to bring west 
desaru and cendor phase 2 onstream

contracts
in mexico we took over ﬁeld operations on 
the pánuco contract area in late march 2013 
and on the arenque contract area in early 
july 2013 we have made good progress 
on magallanes and santuario during the 
year having improved production levels 
by 45 since we took over the blocks in 
february 2012
on the ticleni pec in romania while 
production remains below our original 
expectations we have achieved an increase 
in production in 2013 compared with 2012 
we spent the latter part of 2013 shooting 
additional seismic studies in order to enhance 
our understanding of the ticleni ﬁeld and 
the results of this will inform a revised ﬁeld 
development plan we expect to recommence 
drilling activities in 2014
we earn a tariff per barrel on pecs for an 
agreed level of baseline production and an 
enhanced tariff per barrel on incremental 
production during the year we earned 
tariff income on a total of 7 8 million barrels 
of oil equivalent mboe 2012 52 mboe 
reﬂecting a full 12 months of production from

in malaysia despite a number of operational 
and technical challenges we commenced 
production from the third phase of 
development of block pm304 west desaru 
in early august 2013 only 18 months 
from approval of the field development 
programme fdp by petronas initial oil 
processing is through the recently upgraded 
fpf5 mobile offshore production unit 
with stabilised crude oil exported through 
the existing cendor phase 1 facilities and 
ultimately through the phase two fpso which 
is expected to arrive in the ﬁrst half of 2014 
with ﬁrst production from phase two expected 
early in the second half during the year we 
drilled three new wells on block pm304 as 
part of a near ﬁeld appraisal programme with 
encouraging results
the chergui gas plant in tunisia continues 
to perform in line with our expectations with 
production at similar levels to the prior year 
two new wells were drilled during the year 
with one tiedin to date which we expect to 
improve production and extend the plateau
during the year our net entitlement from 
production from block pm304 and the 
chergui gas plant totalled 16 million barrels of 
oil equivalent mboe 2012 14 mboe
through offshore projects  operations 
we have recently completed the dry dock 
related marine system refurbishment and 
hull life extension works on the fpf1 ﬂoating 
production facility for the greater stella area 
partners the main topsides processing plant 
construction and installation activities are now 
well under way the fpf1 will be deployed on 
the greater stella area in the uk north sea

financial performance
integrated energy services’ revenue increased 
by 319 to us934 million 2012 restated 
us708 million reﬂecting an increase in 
activity and production on the pecs in mexico 
and an increase in production from block 
pm304 in malaysia following commencement 
of production from west desaru in august 
2013 these increases more than offset a 
reduction in revenues from the berantai risk 
service contract following completion of the 
ﬁrst phase of the development in the ﬁrst half 
of 2013
net proﬁt increased 360 to us121 million 
2012 us89 million excluding the 
us36 million contribution from the fpf1 
transaction in 2012 net proﬁt more than 
doubled reﬂecting the commencement of 
operations on west desaru on block pm304 
in malaysia a full year of income from the 
fpso berantai a greater contribution from 
production enhancement contracts due 
to increased production on the magallanes 
and santuario blocks and a contribution 
of us17 million from our interest in seven 
energy 2012 us8 million loss
headcount increased to 3200 at 
31 december 2013 2012 3000 reﬂecting 
an increase in activity levels including 
commencement of the pánuco and 
arenque pecs 
integrated energy services’ backlog 
increased by 291 to stand at us39 billion 
at 31 december 2013 2012 us30 billion 
following the agreement for the further 
development of oml119 in nigeria and an 
increase in backlog for the pecs in mexico as 
we progress the plans for their development
an important differentiator for petrofac is our focus on local delivery 
by recruiting and training local staff we are better able to enter new markets and 
cement longterm customer relationships by developing local skills we can also 
work more costeffectively and progressively grow our global capability 
our new us120 million training agreement 
with petronas the malaysian national 
oil company is indicative of the petrofac 
approach in a new regional centre of 
excellence comprising two ‘live’ upstream 
facilities we are able to train 500 delegates 
a year as a result the malaysian oil industry 
can safely anticipate a steady stream of 
highlyskilled locally developed expertise 
delivered by petrofac training services  
this is our biggest such contract to date  
and with capability building so high on the 
agenda for many of today’s oil companies  
we expect the demand to keep on growing

from block pm304 in malaysia following 
the commencement of operations on west

to increased production on the magallanes

backlog
the group’s backlog increased 27 to end 
the year at the record level of us150 billion 
at 31 december 2013 2012 us118 billion 
reﬂecting a strong intake of new orders in 
onshore engineering  construction and 
growth in integrated energy services’ backlog 
due to the signing of an agreement to develop

existing projects
exchange rates
the group’s reporting currency is us dollars 
a signiﬁcant proportion of offshore projects 
 operations’ revenue is generated in the 
ukcs approximately two thirds and those 
revenues and associated costs are generally 
denominated in sterling however there was 
little change in the average exchange rate for 
the us dollar against sterling for the years 
ended 31 december 2013 and 2012 and 
therefore little exchange rate impact on our us 
dollar reported results the table below sets 
out the average and yearend exchange rates

net ﬁnance costs for the year were 
us4 million 2012 us7 million net ﬁnance 
income finance costs increased from 
us5 million in 2012 to us28 million in 2013 
reﬂecting the move into a net debt position 
during the year however this was mitigated 
by a us12 million increase in ﬁnance income 
primarily from growth in the credit from 
unwinding of the discount on the longterm 
receivable in respect of the berantai project 
reﬂecting the larger receivable balance which 
subsisted during the year
taxation
our policy in respect of tax is to 
 operate in accordance with the terms of the 
petrofac code of business conduct 
 act with integrity in all tax matters
 work together with the tax authorities in 
jurisdictions that we operate in to build 
positive longterm relationships
 where disputes occur to address 
them promptly
 manage tax in a proactive manner 
to maximise value for our customers

responsibility for the tax policy and 
management of tax risk rests with the chief 
financial ofﬁcer and group head of tax who 
report the group’s tax position regularly to the 
group audit committee 
the group’s tax affairs and the management 
of tax risk are delegated to a global team of 
tax professionals

out in note 6 to the ﬁnancial statements 
the income tax charge for the year as a 
percentage of proﬁt before tax was broadly 
unchanged at 180 2012 17 7 a number 
of factors have impacted the effective tax 
rate this year net release of tax provisions 
held in respect of income taxes and from 
the recognition of tax losses previously 
unrecognised and the mix of proﬁts in the 
jurisdictions in which proﬁts are earned

52 months 
completed within a tight deadline
innovation complexity  
and operational excellence 
el merk algeria
the us22 billion el merk central processing 
facility in algeria showcases many of our 
capabilities – and the way we approach 
our projects
lasting 52 months it was a large and 
intricate epc contract it was built during 
a time of global upheaval and uncertainty 
and its remote desert location added to 
the complexity 
as ever local delivery was paramount so we 
worked with local partners nine in ten of the 
onsite workers were algerian and we built 
a local training centre to equip high school 
graduates with soughtafter skills 
given the daunting scale of the project our 
procurement teams were determined to bring 
real value and several of their innovations 
are now standard practice across the 
group for example instead of waiting for 
our engineers to determine the necessary 
speciﬁcations for copper cables they 
went ahead and booked copper at source 
early to reduce the impact of commodity 
price inﬂation
for the ﬁrst time we also decided to 
spread the engineering work across several 
petrofac ofﬁces chennai mumbai jakarta 
and sharjah as well as accelerating the 
timescales this helped us to think and act 
as a single global business trainees at jurong island

corporate responsibility
53 living up to our core values
  as a safe ethical and responsive business that is driven 
to deliver
54 safety asset integrity and security
  nothing is more important to petrofac than 
safety – from our people customers and the 
communities we work in to the integrity of the assets 
and facilities we build maintain and run
57 ethics
  ‘ethical’ is one of the six petrofac values our code 
of conduct sets out the standards we insist upon 
everyone who works for and with petrofac is expected 
to uphold the code – and to speak up if they become 
aware of any breaches
58 people and resourcing
  our ambitious growth plans require us to have the right 
people in the right places at the right time
62 social performance
  we seek to manage the impacts both positive and 
negative our business may have on the communities 
where we operate – thereby reducing risk and creating 
value for the company
64 environmental protection
  we are committed to understanding and minimising the 
environmental impact of our global operations at petrofac our approach to corporate 
responsibility cr is embodied in our 
core values 
these values lie at the heart of the work we 
do they differentiate us from our competitors 
and they guide our decisions and actions
for example our value of being ethical is 
evident in our code of conduct our focus 
on quality is clear in the way we develop 
our people and manage our operations 
our insistence of safety is visible in the 
way we safeguard our people and assets 
and our responsiveness is evident in the 
way we engage with local communities 
and customers
we regard our values and their contribution to 
cr as an important differentiator for petrofac 
and therefore a commercial asset 
 to deliver on our strategic goals we need 
to attract signiﬁcant numbers of people 
primarily from within the communities in 
which we operate – and our values along 
with our business conduct help us to do so
 to operate efﬁciently and effectively 
within a tightly regulated environmentally 
aware sector we need to formalise and 
institutionalise our commitments to 
safety and security ethical conduct and 
environmental protection
our values have always been implicit in 
the way we run the business we are 
progressively formalising our approach to 
cr and demonstrating to all stakeholders 
how this helps us to achieve our wider 
commercial objectives
progressively raising our reporting 
standards
we are working towards reporting against the 
global reporting initiative gri g4 guidelines 
as a commonly used framework for reporting 
on social environmental and governance 
matters the gri guidelines enable us to 
benchmark our performance against our 
peers and to track progress over time 
they also help us to identify and address 
the material issues that matter most to our 
stakeholders including investors customers 
staff and civil society groups
within future editions of our annual report 
and accounts we can therefore expect to 
be conﬁdent that we are focusing on those 
cr areas that are most important to our 
stakeholders and most relevant to our  
longterm commercial success
understanding what matters 
most to our stakeholders 
we ﬁrst enlisted the support of our external 
corporate sustainability advisers who 
facilitated an initial materiality assessment for 
petrofac in 2012 working with representatives 
from across the business we identiﬁed a 
series of cr topics we believed were most 
relevant to our reporting
in 2013 we took this work a step further 
by validating our assumptions through 
indepth interviews with a range of external 
stakeholders – including clients investors 
ngos suppliers government representatives 
and relevant industry associations 
on this basis we agreed an authoritative 
‘materiality matrix’ which is now used to 
inform our reporting and our management 
approach to cr in 2014 we will continue 
with the validation involving a wider 
selection of stakeholders and reﬁning our 
analysis accordingly 
providing a more complete picture
our external advisers also conducted a full 
gap analysis of petrofac’s 2012 annual report 
and accounts this identiﬁed those areas 
where our reporting is already in accordance 
with the gri g4 guidelines and highlighted the 
areas for improvement 
drawing on this analysis we are developing 
plans to allow us to improve our reporting

safety asset integrity and security are 
fundamental disciplines for petrofac 
they matter to our people our customers 
our suppliers and our wider stakeholders 
they are evidence of our relentless focus on 
operational excellence they also help us to 
sustain our unique deliveryfocused culture
despite an impressive performance across 
much of the group we were concerned by 
an increase in reported incidents in 2013 – 
including three fatalities
the range of wellestablished health safety 
security environment and integrity assurance 
hsseia disciplines combined with the 
new initiatives launched in 2013 and the 
improvements planned for 2014 and beyond 
demonstrate that we remain fully committed 
to the safety agenda – and are determined 
to learn from the lessons of the past year
meanwhile we continue to reﬁne our 
asset integrity programme which includes 
systematic scrutiny and monthly reporting 
across all of our operations 
‘safe’ – a core 
petrofac value
reﬂecting on our safety 
performance
across petrofac our aspiration is for zero 
safety incidents – as reﬂected in the name 
of our horizon zero global safety campaign
we are proud to say that much of the time 
we live up to this goal 
at the kittiwake platform in the north sea for 
example we have operated for eight years 
without a single lost time incident lti 
during 2013 we also celebrated 10 million 
ltifree manhours at both the cendor field 
development project in malaysia and the 
kuwait oil company’s efﬂuent water injection 
project – a project that received a gold 
award in the engineering and construction 
category of the american society of safety 
engineersgulf cooperation council hse 
excellence awards
sadly these achievements were overshadowed 
by three deaths in turkmenistan one person 
died in a vehicle accident and another in a 
lifting accident the third fatality took place 
in algeria as the result of a fall each incident 
was investigated and reviewed by senior 
management and separately by the board
we also experienced an increase in the 
number of what we term ‘high potential 
incidents’ hipos that is to say incidents that 
could have resulted in a fatality or serious 
injury had the situation been slightly different 
compared with 2012 the number of hipos 
was up by 8 however it should be noted 
that we have increased our emphasis on 
reporting incidents based on their potential 
as opposed to their actual outcome 
a large proportion of hipos took place 
at our mexican and romanian locations 
where we have taken over the operation of 
existing facilities by focusing on operational 
excellence and embedding the petrofac 
values we aim to improve their respective 
safety records other incidents were 
experienced in turkmenistan and algeria 
during the ﬁnal stages of projects again each 
of these hipo cases was fully investigated 
and the lessons learned have been shared 
across the group 
our overall safety performance for 2013 
measured according to us occupational 
safety and health administration osha 
rules was as follows
 our recordable incident frequency rate was 
014 per 200000 manhours whilst this 
represents a slight increase on 2012 when 
the corresponding rate was 013 it does 
however remain well below the industry 
norms of 035 as extrapolated from the 
ﬁgures published by the international 
association of oil and gas producers
 our lost time incident lti frequency 
rate was 0046 per 200000 manhours 
although this represents an increase 
on 2012 when the corresponding rate 
was 0018 it also remains well below 
the industry benchmark of 010 again 
extrapolated from ﬁgures published by 
the international association of oil and 
gas producers
 our driving incident frequency rate was 002 
per million kilometres driven this was an 
area of focus for 2013 and the performance 
was a signiﬁcant improvement on 2012 – 
when the corresponding rate was 011
launching immediate 
countermeasures
any deterioration in our safety performance 
runs counter to the petrofac values and our 
unique deliveryfocused culture 
an immediate analysis of the reported 
incidents in 2013 revealed that most root 
causes lay in the areas of control of work 
lifting operations work at height and energy 
isolation our immediate response in each 
case was to raise awareness of the event and 
the related risks and to develop local control 
measures also the trends seen in 2013 are 
being addressed in our groupwide 2014 
safety improvement plan and the continuing 
development of our golden rules of safety 
we also focused on these incidents and 
trends at our annual safety conference in 
dubai around 130 senior leaders from across 
the group attended including our chairman 
the group chief executive and the managing 
directors of all service lines the event 
focused on three key topics – root cause 
analysis lessons learned see below and 
lifting safety
strengthening our safety culture
we have found that one of the most effective 
ways of improving our safety culture is to 
share knowledge and lessons learned across 
the group 
with this in mind 2013 saw the launch 
of our lessons learned tool – an online 
portal that is used to capture and share 
reallife experiences
easily accessible to petrofac employees 
lessons learned includes a wealth of safety 
information alerts around speciﬁc incidents or 
areas of concern plus training videos and our  
golden rules of safety video we also use 
the tool to capture and communicate lessons 
and experiences from other companies and 
projects in our industry in the ﬁve months 
following its launch around 100 lessons 
were shared

continuing to improve 
our capability
to address the deterioration in our safety 
performance in 2013 and to support 
petrofac’s progressive move into new 
geographies and more challenging operating 
environments a wideranging plan sponsored 
by our group ceo has been agreed for 
implementation in 2014
key components include
 rollingout a groupwide initiative to improve 
the management of contractor safety 
focusing initially on those geographies and 
projects with recent experience of incidents 
 delivering an elearning package on 
our golden rules of safety to increase 
awareness and improve understanding of 
their importance 
 providing a framework and supporting tools 
to improve the visibility positive impact 
and effectiveness of site visits by our 
leadership team
this groupwide plan is supplemented by 
and aligned with local plans that have been 
established by each service line
asset integrity – 
fundamental 
to our business
at petrofac we design build and operate 
assets which are safe reliable and meet or 
exceed their speciﬁed design purpose
key to this is our asset integrity framework 
which enables us to take a structured and 
consistent approach to integrity across 
all petrofac operations this framework 
comprises our 
 asset integrity management policy
 asset integrity standard comprising the 
12 elements of asset integrity 
 guidance documents and a toolkit of 
supporting processes
the emphasis for 2013 was to increase 
engagement with this framework and 
emphasise its importance across the group 
in total more than 2500 employees had an 
indepth introduction with presentations 
completed in aberdeen abu dhabi chennai 
dubai kuala lumpur london mexico 
mumbai poland saudi arabia and sharjah
meanwhile for each month of 2013 one of the 
12 elements of our asset integrity standard 
was featured on our intranet petronet 
this helped employees to understand the 
principles and how they contribute to our

55 a rigorous consistent process
every month each of our operating assets 
is obliged to report against a range of key 
performance indicators comprising
 lagging indicators – relating to the 
actual condition of our assets and the 
performance of our related activities 
such as the numbers of temporary 
repairs under management and the 
level of maintenance backlog
 leading indicators – relating to our 
performance in maintaining robust risk 
controls such as the completion of 
actions arising from integrity assurance 
reviews and status of competency 
assessment programmes 
drawing on this data an asset integrity 
dashboard is published each month and is 
distributed among more than 100 people 
across the group 
additionally our asset integrity review board 
comprising senior representatives from each 
of our operating assets meets monthly 
beyond peer reviewing and experience 
sharing their role is to
 understand the sources of integrity risk and 
take actions to manage them effectively
 maintain appropriate standards which 
prevent and mitigate risks 
 openly report on integrity 
management performance
 promote a culture in which all employees 
are committed to asset integrity
a full programme of asset 
integrity reviews
during 2013 a total of 16 comprehensive 
asset integrity reviews were conducted on 
our operating assets in these subject matter 
experts who are independent of operations 
assess the level of compliance with our asset 
integrity standards they also conduct a 
thorough review of the physical condition of 
each asset
opportunities for further 
improvements
for 2014 the focus will be to identify 
opportunities for reﬁnements or improvements 
to our asset integrity framework 
this will include
 updating the asset integrity standard to 
provide more speciﬁc operational guidance 
 building on our work in the uk by 
developing a groupwide hydrocarbon leak 
reduction training package
 implementing a revised technical authority 
framework and associated process to 
support those people who operate our 
assets and manage high hazard risks
security – protecting our people 
and assets
petrofac’s security team works closely with 
the business to protect our people and assets 
and to ensure that our operations proceed 
smoothly this becomes more important as 
we enter new territories and work in more 
challenging social and political environments
putting our security and 
evacuation procedures to the test
in january 2013 we were asked to evacuate 
our people from the in salah gas plant in 
algeria this was a precautionary measure 
following the terrorist attack on the nearby in 
amenas gas plant
at very short notice three teams were 
mobilised – onsite in algeria in sharjah and 
in london in a period of just 72 hours they 
overcame the numerous challenges involved 
and safely evacuated 400 people
learnings from this experience have also 
been incorporated into our security and 
evacuation procedures
improved intelligence gathering 
and analysis
during 2013 we enhanced our intelligence 
capability by strengthening the team with 
a wider range of more specialised skills 
this has improved the way that we gather 
and analyse intelligence on security issues 
particularly in higher risk countries in the 
middle east and north africa similarly we 
have stepped up intelligence and information 
sharing with other companies in the oil and 
gas sector
tightening our everyday processes 
we continuously review evaluate and evolve 
our security processes to reﬂect the changing 
nature of the environments in which we 
operate for example as part of the pre
investment in our bids thorough security risk 
assessments are carried out on all high risk 
territories or projects 
we have also consolidated and strengthened 
our positions in new and challenging territories 
like iraq mexico and nigeria
meanwhile our ongoing security 
activity includes 
 regular brieﬁngs to the board 
risk committee 
 weekly travel security and country updates
 24hour emergency support

strategic report
corporate responsibility continued
1  many people work in remote 
locations across the world
1 ‘ethical’ is one of the six petrofac values 
our code of conduct sets out the 
standards we insist upon everyone who 
works for and with petrofac is expected 
to uphold the code – and to speak up if 
they become aware of any breaches
our new code of conduct 
the petrofac code of conduct the code 
founded on the six petrofac values provides 
clear guidance to our employees and 
business partners
in 2012 the code was given a major overhaul 
– to incorporate best practice reﬂect new 
legislation and cover the increasing risks 
we face as we enter new geographies and 
encounter challenging operating conditions
in 2013 the code was reviewed and ratiﬁed 
by the petrofac board 
reﬂecting our emphasis on clarity the 
code uses easytofollow language and the 
principles are brought to life through everyday 
examples the content includes a new equal 
opportunities chapter an explicit prohibition 
on making facilitation payments and paying 
bribes and clariﬁes our approach to third 
parties – including risk mitigation through 
due diligence conﬂicts of interest and 
fair competition
the code applies to contractors and suppliers 
as well as petrofac employees and is available 
in english french spanish romanian 
and russian
distributing and embedding 
the code
in early 2013 the new code was distributed 
to all employees and suppliers and supported 
by an extensive communications campaign 
in early 2014 we will launch a tailored 
elearning module for all of our employees in 
order to ensure that the messages contained 
in the code are understood by all utilising 
life scenarios 
in 2013 an induction programme on the code 
was also introduced for all new graduates 
in 2014 we launched our annual code of 
conduct certiﬁcation process in previous 
years this required all senior and midlevel 
managers to certify that they had read 
and understood the code’s principles and 
requirements and had observed them in their 
business dealings the exercise has been 
expanded to reach out to those in our ﬁrst 
level of leadership and this year was targeted 
to close to 3000 employees three times the 
number in 2012 the exercise is automatically 
logged through a speciﬁc online site enabling 
us to track levels of participation and assess 
possible code breaches that may be raised 
speaking up about any breaches 
of the code
at the end of 2012 we ran a threemonth 
groupwide communications programme to 
raise awareness of speak up – our phone and 
email service enabling employees and third 
parties to report breaches of the code
the success of this campaign was 
demonstrated through our 2013 petrovoices 
employee survey see page 61 in which 80 
of our people said that they knew how to use 
the speak up facility up from 69 in 2011 
in addition 38 suspected breaches of the 
code were reported during 2013 compared 
with just 21 reports between 2009 and 2012 
every reported breach is fully investigated 
helping us to identify and address any gaps 
in our processes all violations are reported 
to the board risk committee and those 
individuals found to be in serious breach of the 
code may have their employment terminated 
– which was the outcome on 15 occasions 
in 2013 
screening all third party suppliers
in 2013 we continued to reﬁne the ways we 
assess our third party suppliers – to identify 
and mitigate any reputational risks they pose 
and ensure that their ethical standards are 
consistent with our own
most signiﬁcantly we developed an online 
due diligence tool which helps us conduct 
detailed assessments of third party suppliers 
following an initial screening phase involving 
the names of over 18000 third party 
suppliers we identiﬁed some that warranted 
further investigation these are subject to 
more comprehensive due diligence using the 
new tool
assessing compliance across 
all our locations
we seek to conduct regular compliance 
reviews across all petrofac locations 
aiming for transparency in 
our reporting 
we aim to be transparent and open in 
our reporting to comply with international 
standards and to meet the expectations of 
all stakeholders
to this end we became signatories of the 
un global compact ungc in 2009 and 
have sought to integrate its ten principles in 
the way we do business covering the areas 
of human rights labour environment and 
anticorruption these principles are designed 
to ensure that businesses can beneﬁt local 
economies and societies

ethics our ambitious growth plans require 
us to have the right people in the  
right places at the right time
our strategy of continued geographic 
expansion increased offshore activity and 
the growth of our integrated energy services 
ies business requires us to attract and retain 
more people 
indeed over the coming ﬁve years we 
expect our workforce to grow to around 
25000 allowing for anticipated attrition 
this will require us to recruit around 15000 
new employees
in a steadily growing global industry facing 
a deﬁnite skills shortage this will be a 
signiﬁcant undertaking the petrofac hr 
team are therefore working closely with 
the business to ensure that we meet this 
organisational challenge
it is more than just recruiting extra people
we also need to deliver in more challenging 
geographies we need to build local delivery 
capability to achieve real sustainability we 
need to build the leadership talent pipeline 
beyond our current senior executives
in order to retain sought after skills we 
also need to ensure that the interests and 
aspirations of our people are closely aligned 
with those of the business and to sustain our 
unique deliveryfocused culture we need all of 
our people to commit to our values
a business focused hr strategy
the petrofac hr strategy is a reﬂection of our 
wider business strategy and we intend to
 organise ourselves to achieve the 
company’s growth ambitions and 
recognise the need for local delivery
 integrate our hr services and draw on 
best practice to improve our performance 
and manage our costs 
 secure the right quantity and quality of 
skills to deliver on the company’s growth 
plans in our traditional markets as well as in 
new disciplines and geographies

a new performance 
management system 
in 2013 a new performance management 
process was introduced across all of our 
service lines and locations 
this provides a standardised way of setting 
objectives and conducting midyear reviews 
and yearend appraisals it ensures that all of 
our people understand what is expected of 
them in terms of their contribution to service 
line and companywide success – whilst 
also recognising the petrofac values and 
the role they play in our unique delivery
focused culture 
by the end of the year 10000 people had 
been trained in the new process and over 
85 of all employee objectives had been 
set using the new scorecard the results 
of the 2013 petrovoices employee survey 
see below suggest that this renewed 
emphasis on performance management is 
widely acknowledged
in mid 2014 following the ﬁrst full year of its 
operation we will conduct a thorough review 
of the process and reﬁne it accordingly 
as we upgrade our internal it systems 
we will provide online access to complete 
the process
a disciplined talent 
management methodology
the global oil and gas industry faces a 
signiﬁcant skills shortage our groupwide 
talent management programme aims to 
address this challenge by developing and 
retaining our own employees thereby reducing 
our reliance on external recruitment
as part of our disciplined approach to 
business and capacity planning we therefore 
place real emphasis on talent management 
and succession planning
as well as onboarding new employees our 
hr team and line managers work together 
to identify those people whose retention is 
most important to the business our focus 
extends well beyond leaders and potential 
leaders we also consider those people with 
hardtoreplace organisational knowledge 
relationships and technical expertise and we 
look at how best to capture and disseminate 
the skills and knowledge of our more 
experienced employees

petrofac in 2013  for example we have started to pilot 
a petrofac veterans programme that 
will enable older employees to work 
alongside younger recruits and share their 
considerable experience 
with regards to talent management two 
particular initiatives stood out in 2013
the petrofac academy
in 2013 we formally launched the new 
petrofac academy which reinforces our 
crosscompany approach to development 
ultimately this will have three main aims
 graduate development – to help us 
attract new graduates from diverse 
backgrounds and geographies
 management development – to improve 
the skills of our supervisory and middle 
managers to help them succeed personally 
and manage their teams more effectively
 leadership development – to strengthen 
our senior leadership talent pipeline 
initially located in our uae ofﬁces and focusing 
on graduate training we have developed a 
technical facility and curriculum which will 
accelerate the acquisition of skills and help 
younger professionals achieve professional 
autonomy more quickly
to lead the initiative we appointed a senior 
vice president for the academy from within 
petrofac who will work with our operational 
and hr teams to reﬁne and progressively 
extend the approach
the leadership excellence programme
our leadership excellence programme was 
introduced in 2011 with a clear mandate to
 strengthen our existing 
leadership capability and improve 
leadership performance
 develop and prepare our people to 
understand and overcome future challenges
 reinforce the unique petrofac culture 
by increasing understanding of 
the organisation 
by the end of 2013 nearly 150 of our senior 
leaders had participated in the programme 
the year’s initiatives included
 two leadership excellence events 
in the uae and london
 two advanced people skills modules 
in the uae and london
 two financial skills modules 
in the uae and london
we also developed a team support module 
which has been trialled in malaysia and will 
be made available to all leaders we have 
also introduced an accelerated senior 
development programme involving 23 
individuals with leadership potential plans for 
2014 include a management development 
pathway programme

celebrating a distinctive delivery
focused culture
at the heart of everything we do 
the six petrofac values guide our 
decisions and behaviour safe ethical 
innovative responsive quality and 
cost conscious and driven to deliver
each year we celebrate employees and 
teams who embody these values through 
the eve excellence values energy 
awards which are presented at our annual 
leadership conference 
this year’s winners included 
senior engineer himanshu chanchal 
pictured above with group director of 
legal and commercial affairs richard 
milne – who developed an automated tool 
for designing the foundations for vibrating 
equipment this can reduce 20 days of 
design work into a few hours it also brings 
increased accuracy and when deployed at 
our karan project in saudi arabia it enabled 
a 54 reduction in concrete
technical specialist mantosh bhattacharya 
– who on two separate occasions came 
up with solutions to technical issues that the 
equipment vendor ge had been unable to 
resolve as a result ge changed its processes 
as well as bringing time and cost savings to 
petrofac this had an industrywide impact

signiﬁcantly in the ten years since 
it opened

leaving the company by choice remained 
at acceptable levels with turnover of less

to support our ongoing recruitment needs 
we introduced a range of new initiatives 
these include
establishing a compelling ‘employee 
value proposition’
to achieve our growth ambitions we need 
petrofac to present itself as an attractive 
employer that meets the immediate needs 
and future aspirations of potential recruits 
through formal research we set out to 
discover what it is about our business that 
motivates people to join us and remain 
with the company initially we spoke to 
engineers in our key geographies of africa 
malaysia mexico the middle east and the 
uk drawing on these ﬁndings we developed 
an ‘employee value proposition’ around the 
principles of growing opportunities diverse 
experience and responsible ambition 
this will enable us to develop a common 
approach across all of our recruitment 
collateral and advertising
redesigning our recruitment systems
in 2013 we implemented a consistent 
automated recruitment and application 
tracking system to support and enhance the 
experience of potential and future employees
this includes a ‘new hires portal’ which allows 
recruits to access and exchange information 
regarding their new position and accelerates 
the onboarding process by the yearend the 
system had been rolled out across most of the 
group it will be implemented in our remaining 
operations during 2014
an emphasis on local delivery
an important source of differentiation for 
petrofac is our focus on local delivery 
recruiting and training local staff and working 
with local partners helps us enter new markets 
and cements longterm relationships with 
governments and national oil companies 
it also enables us to work more cost
effectively and grow our global capability 
in mexico for example 90 of employees 
at our new operations are mexican and 
many work within their own home state 
at the height of our work on turkmenistan’s 
galkynysh gas ﬁeld processing facility we 
partnered with 60 contractors involving more 
recruiting a new generation 
of homegrown petrofac talent 
to meet our growth plans petrofac recruits 
continuously and systematically
in the past we were heavily reliant on 
identifying and securing skills and expertise 
from outside the organisation in the future 
we aim to be recognised as a business that 
excels at growing its own talent and this 
emphasis on personal and professional 
development is one of the ways in which 
we aim to attract a signiﬁcant number of 
new employees
in 2013 the total number of employees and 
longterm contractors increased by around 
2 to reach 18300 meanwhile voluntary staff

global mobility where 
it makes sense
although our objective is generally to recruit 
locally petrofac will continue to send people 
on international assignments – to supplement 
local technical and professional skills and to 
develop our pool of leaders with experience 
of working overseas
in 2013 we developed guidelines to ensure 
these international moves proceed smoothly 
for employees and their families they also 
ensure that we behave consistently and 
openly that our costs are controlled 
and we always try to comply with the 
related legislation in both the home and 
host countries
a clear commitment to diversity 
and equality
petrofac is a highly diverse multicultural 
business our board is made up of seven 
nationalities and our workforce comprises 
around 80 this diversity allows us to reﬂect 
our global customer base and draw on a rich 
mix of culture and experience
to emphasise our commitment a new 
diversity policy was rolled out in 2013 
alongside the relaunch of our code of 
conduct a series of dedicated training 
modules will help to embed this across 
the group in 2014
in august 2013 kathleen hogenson was 
appointed as a nonexecutive director 
increasing female representation on the 
petrofac board to two for more information 
see the nominations committee report on 
page 80 meanwhile around 26 of our 2013 
global graduate intake is female
in line with uk governance code and uk 
companies act 2006 requirements which the 
company has complied with on a voluntary 
basis we disclose the proportion of women to 
men across the company at senior levels and

committee report
our culture and values a 
source of differentiation
petrofac’s differentiation stems from our 
unique deliveryfocused culture and our 
relentless pursuit of operational excellence 
as we recruit signiﬁcant numbers of new 
employees we are consistently reinforcing 
this culture and emphasising its importance 
to the way we operate our business
our values are an intrinsic component of our 
new performance management framework 
– which means that every employee is partly 
appraised on the extent to which they live up 
to the values
each year we celebrate employees and 
teams who embody our values through the 
eve excellence values energy awards 
this year we received 160 nominations from 
across the group 
in our petrovoices survey see below 82 
of employees believed that our values are 
demonstrated through clear and visible 
actions by other employees
an engaged workforce with 
a sense of ownership
an engaged employee is one who is fully 
involved in and enthusiastic about their work 
and acts in a way that furthers the company’s 
wider interests in pursuit of our business 
strategy we formally monitor engagement 
levels across the business systematically 
build on strengths and address concerns
in 2013 we conducted our fourth biennial 
employee survey petrovoices to ensure 
that this was accessible to a wide range 
of employees the survey was translated 
into four languages and made available in 
paper and online formats the 2013 results 
were compared with the 2011 results 
and an external benchmark of other high 
performing businesses
this showed that engagement levels 
have remained broadly consistent with 
2011 dipping slightly from 85 to 82 
attitudes relating to communication pay 
and beneﬁts and talent and performance 
management had improved however views 
on leadership change and company image 
have dipped our external advisors suggest 
that these patterns are typical of organisations 
that go through signiﬁcant change
we actively encourage employee share 
ownership believing that it builds commitment 
to the company’s goals and rewards our 
people for their contribution in 2013 30 of 
our employees participated in at least one of 
the petrofac share schemes 
clear consistent communications
with a large rapidly expanding global 
workforce we believe it is essential that we 
have the tools to keep our people informed 
about and interested in our strategy our 
successes and our challenges
a focus in 2013 was to strengthen internal 
communications in response to feedback 
from our 2011 petrovoices survey and 
discussions at the 2012 leadership 
conference for our top leaders to support 
their facetoface communication with their 
teams as a result we now produce our 
business brief at least three times a year 
post our interim and fullyear results and 
our leadership conference for our top 
120 leaders to support their facetoface 
communication with their teams in october 
2013 we also relaunched petrofacts our 
internal magazine making it more engaging 
thoughtful and representative of our people 
around the world
in 2014 we plan to make further improvements 
to our website improving functionality and 
providing more regular relevant information

to manage them it is supported by a set of 
best practice guidance notes covering social 
assessment stakeholder engagement land 
acquisition and involuntary resettlement and 
managing grievances 
in 2013 we developed additional guidance 
on social investment and began to develop a 
guidance note on cultural heritage 
during the year we incorporated socio
economic factors such as potential for 
conﬂict with local communities and risks 
to community health and safety into our 
enterprise risk management system 
these issues are now evaluated alongside 
other risk categories as a core part of our risk 
review process 
implementing our social 
performance framework
our social performance standard is being 
implemented in tunisia and mexico and 
introduced in romania where petrofac is 
directly accountable for managing social 
impacts in 2013 we continued to rollout 
related activities in each of these countries 
including the provision of training to locally
based staff and awareness sessions amongst 
senior management specialist teams also 
worked with our operating centres in india 
the middle east and the uk to implement 
relevant aspects of the social performance 
framework including our strategic corporate 
giving activities 
the social performance framework requires 
us to assess the potential short and long
term impact of our activities by identifying 
key risks that we might encounter throughout 
the asset’s life cycle relating to social health 
environmental economic and cultural 
matters we develop strategies to manage 
or mitigate these risks appropriately a key 
aspect of conducting an assessment involves 
engagement with affected communities 
relevant government agencies international 
organisations and locallybased ngos 
as appropriate 
in mexico for example we completed detailed 
socioeconomic baseline assessments for 
the pánuco and arenque contracts which we 
began to operate in 2013 building on similar 
exercises conducted in 2012 for our contracts 
in tabasco state all our mexico operations 
now have community development plans in 
place based on similar assessments we 
have also developed social performance plans 
in tunisia and romania
in 2014 we will continue to develop our local 
capability in this area through recruitment 
and training and will introduce an internal 
assurance process to monitor compliance 
with the social performance standard and to 
identify areas requiring additional capability 
development and support we believe that this 
provides a consistent approach to managing 
socioeconomic issues effectively and 
maintaining our social licence to operate
our social investment programmes 
petrofac’s social investment expenditure in 
local communities totalled us4702942 
in 2013 up from us1006617 in 2012 
this included community development 
and strategic corporate giving initiatives 
the yearonyear increase was mainly due 
to substantial community development 
programmes being implemented in mexico 
and tunisia it also includes a total of 
us263 million for the 2013 operating costs 
for our training facilities which have been 
established in abu dhabi and algeria 
 algeria – our training centre located in 
hassimessaoud in algeria was established 
in 2010 it was created to train and qualify 
young algerians in ﬁve disciplines and 
has since provided training to around 
700 trainees 
 abu dhabi – petrofac is designing and 
building the training pilot plants for the 
abu dhabi national oil company adnoc 
training institute ati the training facility 
will provide specialist skills in oil and gas 
facility operations as part of the design and 
build of the training pilot plants petrofac 
will develop the operating and maintenance 
procedures training scenarios curriculum 
materials and provide familiarisation training 
to adnoc  adma nominated trainers 
the training centre is due to be completed 
in 2014 
 mexico – we completed our initial 
community development programmes 
for our concessions in tabasco state 
providing support for schools community 
centres environmental awareness and 
community safety initiatives 
in consultation with our partner pemex 
and the local communities we have 
now deﬁned a longterm development 
programme for tabasco focusing on health 
education livelihoods and conservation 
and have established partnerships with 
local organisations to implement projects in 
each of these areas see case study 
we seek to manage the impacts both 
positive and negative our business 
may have on the communities where 
we operate – thereby reducing risk and 
creating value for the company
as our business strategy takes us into new 
geographies and we embark on longer
term contracts we are becoming ever more 
disciplined in understanding planning and 
managing our social performance
our social performance framework – which 
incorporates our ethical social and regulatory 
policy and our social performance standard 
– was established in 2012 this standard sets 
out the minimum requirements for managing 
social impacts where petrofac has direct

employability for people from 
marginalised groups 
we are committed to supporting stem 
and in 2013 we continued to strengthen 
our relationship with the royal academy of 
engineering – putting our partnership on a 
new longterm footing 
we renewed our royal academy of 
engineering fellowship programme which 
has been in place since 2009 over the next 
four years this will provide a further 
18 places for graduate engineers to pursue 
a masters degree also included is the 
provision of additional learning and 
development opportunities including where 
possible a companysourced major project 
a mentor and a work placement
during the year we launched a new 
programme supporting the development 
of a national stem teacher network the 
‘connecting teachers programme’ aims to 
improve professional opportunities and real
life applications for the classroom through 
regional networking initially we sponsored 
the appointment of two teaching coordinators 
based in london and woking
our london and woking ofﬁces have also 
established inhouse mentoring programmes 
working with young people in schools mainly 
from underrepresented backgrounds 
petrofac’s mentors are all volunteers who 
want to make a difference to young peoples’ 
lives by helping them to develop personal 
and professional skills as well as being 
a rewarding experience for the mentors 
this helps students fulﬁl their aspirations 
by boosting their conﬁdence selfbelief 
and motivation
supporting employee fundraising
our employees also have the opportunity to 
make regular donations through their payroll 
and in 2013 petrofac donated us23088 in 
matched funding
similarly petrofac employees can choose 
to fundraise collectively in 2013 petrofac 
staff raised us99000 for the uae branch 
of the red crescent in aid of the philippines 
typhoon campaign

our mentoring schemes in london

in our concession areas in mexico 
petrofac is committed to spending 
1 of our total annual expenditure on 
sustainable development initiatives 
this constitutes a signiﬁcant opportunity 
for local communities to enhance their 
standard of living and for petrofac to build 
productive relationships 
to ensure successful development 
outcomes we are entering into strategic 
partnerships with local organisations to 
implement longterm projects an example 
is in our santuario concession in tabasco 
state in 2013 we signed an agreement with 
the national research institution for forestry 
agriculture and livestock inifap to 
conduct a longterm programme in support 
of farmers 
one area of support is for cocoa producers 
in recent years crops have been 
signiﬁcantly impacted by disease in some 
cases reducing yields to one tenth of their 
previous value in partnership with inifap  
we are providing technical assistance 
and agricultural supplies to hundreds of 
smallholder farmers covering 600 hectares 
within our concession area with a view to 
increasing yields and household income 
the project has a strong conservation 
element preventing additional deforestation 
of cocoa plantations as farmers have less 
incentive to plant other crops in response to 
declining yields we are also working with 
inifap on similar projects to support maize 
and livestock farmers

2 we are committed to understanding 
and minimising the environmental  
impact of our global operations
petrofac has always been aware of the 
environmental implications of its business 
and over the past several years we have 
introduced progressively stricter controls 
as we enter new geographies and more 
remote locations environmental protection 
becomes an even more important 
management consideration
a disciplined approach to data 
collection and assurance
in 2013 we worked harder to ensure that the 
entire petrofac group has a complete and 
consistent understanding of its environmental 
impact we have therefore been reﬁning our 
data management systems to ensure that 
each service line has a clear understanding of 
the standards under which they are expected 
to operate
with regards to our greenhouse gas emissions 
we are fully compliant with the requirements of 
the uk companies act 2006 strategic report 
and directors’ reports regulations 2013 
which the company has complied with on a 
voluntary basis in 2013 we commissioned 
ricardoaea a qualiﬁed independent party 
to assure and validate our greenhouse gas 
emissions data collection processes
to provide an accurate estimate we have 
adopted the following principles
 our emissions data is calculated in line 
with the principles of the greenhouse 
gas protocol corporate accounting and 
reporting standard produced by the world 
resources institute and the world business 
council for sustainable development – a 
globally recognised standard
 greenhouse gas emissions and our 
corporate carbon footprint report are 
based on
 – for fuels and electricity use – emission 
factors from the uk department for the 
environment food and rural affairs 
defra 
 – for gas ﬂaring – the american petroleum 
institute’s sangea methodology
 for those operations that are jointly owned 
we use an equity share approach to 
account for emissions
 those operations that are wholly controlled 
by third parties are excluded from 
our reporting
 all petrofac operational sites are included in 
this report with the exception of our three 
new nigerian sites which were excluded as 
they had not commenced operations
in addition to greenhouse gas emissions 
data we collect data on the waste that leaves 
our facilities which is typically segregated 
measured and reported by category
as well as calculating our own emissions 
we also monitor and report on air emission 
data to our clients for the facilities we 
manage on their behalf in the case of our 
north sea operations our monitoring meets 
the stringent standards of the osloparis 
convention in accordance with the european 
environmental emissions monitoring system 
we measure
 all discharges of hydrocarbons heavy metal 
and radiation contamination
 all air emissions of sulphur dioxide nitrogen 
oxides and volatile organic carbons
our environmental data collection and analysis 
enables us to monitor and improve on our 
energy use and waste management which 
helps to minimise our related environmental 
impact it is also made available to various 
stakeholders to demonstrate that we 
comply with all related requirements and 
show that petrofac is fully committed to 
environmental protection
following its review ricardoaea concluded 
that we have made good progress in 
calculating our carbon footprint and have set 
up credible processes for collating data and 
calculating emissions
our emissions performance
we have seen an increase in our carbon 
footprint from past years we attribute a 
signiﬁcant portion of the increase in emissions 
to the addition of the berantai and west 
desaru fpsos our operations including 
our share of joint ventures but excluding 
customerowned facilities emitted 284636 
tonnes of co 2e in 2013 up from 201675 
tonnes of co 2e in 2012 these are direct 
emissions scope 1 253101 tco 2e and 
scope 2 31534 tco 2e
the carbon disclosure project cdp provides a 
global disclosure system for companies to report 
their environmental impacts and strategies in 
respect of greenhouse gas emissions 
petrofac continues to support the cdp and we 
received an improved score for 2013 achieving 
a rate of 77 for disclosure and band b for 
performance given that more than half of 
reporting companies are rated in band c or 
lower it is clear that petrofac is outperforming 
many of our peers
in 2013 we again participated in the uk 
government’s crc energy efﬁciency 
scheme we are registered for phase 2 of this 
scheme and our ukbased assets complied 
with all of the related criteria 
in 2013 we reported on a small number of 
environmental incidents
 fifteen incidents of hydrocarbons spilled to 
land four of these were classiﬁed as minor 
involving less than 10 litres the remaining 
11 were classiﬁed as medium and involved 
spillages of between 10 and 600 litres
 two incidents of hydrocarbons released to 
water one of these was classiﬁed as minor 
involving less than 10 litres the other 
incident which involved one of our 
subcontractor’s vehicles and took place at 
the sfax ferry terminal in tunisia resulted 
in a spillage of around 38800 litres of 
condensate which dispersed naturally this 
was classiﬁed as major

as a condition of the mandatory reporting requirement of the 
companies act 2006 petrofac must report its emissions in its 
annual report against an intensity metric that is representative 
of its business activities the intensity ration for 2013 is 4497 
tco2e per million us revenue we have chosen to use “tonnes
million us revenue” as this metric is the most representative 
across the entire business

strategic report
corporate responsibility continued
environmental protection in each case the appropriate spillresponse 
measures were implemented and a full 
investigation was conducted
during the year no ﬁnes or penalties were 
imposed on petrofac as a result of any 
environmental incidents or noncompliance 
with any environmental regulations
focusing on energy efﬁciency
to raise awareness of environmental issues 
among our employees we hold an annual 
petrofac environmental month
in recent years the focus has been energy 
efﬁciency we invited all of our employees 
to suggest creative ways of improving our 
energy efﬁciency and in 2013 a record 
number of 27 petrofac locations participated 
in the programme
this initiative helps to secure progressive 
improvements in our energy efﬁciency 
this year for example it directly led to a 10 
decrease in electricity consumption in our 
romanian operations and a 12 reduction 
in our diesel fuel consumption in mexico
meanwhile at our al khan ofﬁces in sharjah 
we implemented daily reviews of our energy 
consumption this secured a further 3 
increase in savings in addition to an 18 
saving in 2012 and a reduction of almost 
25 in 2011
tracking waste management 
and recycling
we monitor and report on waste and 
recycling levels across all of our projects 
and encourage locally based employees to 
pursue initiatives that are appropriate to their 
particular circumstances
for example
 our sharjah ofﬁces have been implementing 
responsible waste management initiatives 
for the past seven years since 2006 some 
358 tonnes of waste paper and six tonnes of 
plastic have been recycled petrofac sharjah 
is also an active member of the arab forum 
for environment and development and 
supports the emirates environmental group 
– and has won the group’s annual waste 
management award on several occasions 
 during 2013 our bridge view ofﬁces 
in aberdeen increased their recycling 
rate to 61 compared to 55 in 2012 
meanwhile the amount of waste sent to 
landﬁll fell by more than 20 from 187 
to 149 tonnes
biodiversity and 
water management
through our stakeholder engagement 
programmes it has become clear that 
biodiversity and water management are 
areas of interest and concern for several 
of our stakeholder groups
we can demonstrate that across the group 
as a whole petrofac’s operations have a 
minimal negative impact but wherever these 
issues are relevant we do take appropriate 
precautions and countermeasures 
for example
 for the construction and development of 
the shetland gas plant we have worked 
closely with our customer total and the 
scottish environment protection agency to 
protect indigenous wildlife and maintain the 
quality of watercourses and coastal waters 
see the case study opposite
 in arid and desert climates we take 
particular care to minimise our use of water 
for example the design of our sharjah 
ofﬁces incorporates a greywater harvesting 
system enabling this water to be reused
greater consistency planned 
for 2014 and beyond
in 2014 we plan to develop a new group 
environmental framework this will bring more 
rigour to our existing standards and ensure 
that all petrofac operations and facilities take a 
consistent approach
building on our recent data collection and 
quality initiatives we will also implement a new 
group environmental data reporting guide 
again this will bring greater consistency to the 
group enable us to compare the respective 
performance of our operations and help us 
to manage and minimise our environmental 
impact to ensure that we operate to the 
most stringent standards we will also seek 
independent veriﬁcation of our reported data
learning from recent instances of 
hydrocarbon spills we will further tighten 
our spill response procedures and use 
a compliance strategy to assess the 
preparedness and capability of petrofac 
and our subcontractors

home to three national nature 
reserves and more than 80 sites 
of special scientiﬁc interest the 
shetland environment is one of the 
rarest and richest in the world so 
when we were awarded a £500 million 
contract to plan and develop the new 
laggantormore shetland gas plant 
environmental management was a 
prime consideration
based on thorough surveys of the site 
we gained a clear understanding of the 
indigenous wildlife and planned accordingly 
– scheduling work to avoid breeding 
seasons changing the paths or roads and 
fence lines and establishing exclusion zones 
to keep people and equipment away from 
sensitive areas
meanwhile a dedicated water management 
team ensures that runoff water from the 
construction site remains clear clean and 
siltfree a sophisticated ‘siltbuster’ system 
has processed around 500 million litres of 
water outﬂow water is tested three times 
daily to verify its quality
the rapid return of eurasian otters to the 
completed pipeline sites is evidence of 
the success petrofac annual report and accounts 2013

governance
corporate governance report
norman murray
chairman of the board dear shareholder
i am pleased once again to present the 
company’s corporate governance report 
allowing me the opportunity to outline our 
objectives to achieving and maintaining the 
highest standards of governance i believe that 
our governance framework is evident across 
the group and throughout this report you will 
see examples of how we are endeavouring 
to attain our corporate goals and sustain our 
core values with our continuing commitment 
to ongoing shareholder engagement and 
the improvement and development of 
good governance behaviours i have every 
conﬁdence that we can build on our work 
to date to ensure that the interests of the 
directors as stewards of the company 
are aligned with those of investors and 
other stakeholders 
what is our approach 
to governance
as a jersey incorporated company with 
a premium listing on the london stock 
exchange petrofac is required to report 
against the uk corporate governance 
code uk code the uk code sets out the 
standards of good practice in relation to board 
leadership and effectiveness accountability 
remuneration and relations with shareholders 
this report including the reports from 
the nominations audit board risk and 
remuneration committees describes how 
the company has applied all of the principles 
set out in sections a to e of the uk code 
during the period under review 
the uk code also introduced the obligation 
for the board to acknowledge its responsibility 
for ensuring the annual report when taken as 
a whole is fair balanced and understandable 
so that shareholders are provided with the 
necessary information to assess company 
performance and strategy the company’s 
auditors ernst  young llp ernst  young 
are required to review whether or not the 
corporate governance report reﬂects the 
company’s compliance with the provisions 
of the uk code speciﬁed for their review by 
the listing rules of the uk listing authority 
and to report if it does not reﬂect such 
compliance no such report has been made 
copies of the uk code are publicly available 
at wwwfrcorguk
how have we responded to recent 
governance developments
over the last few years numerous reviews 
consultations and regulations have been 
delivered and introduced both in the uk and 
across europe with the aim of developing 
governance at both a corporate and national 
level while on occasion the number 
and extent of the changes has felt a little 
overwhelming we believe that the general 
trend is correct and that the majority of 
changes should help to promote greater 
accountability and enhanced disclosure 
within the company we have been actively 
involved with and responded to a number 
of these consultations which we hope will 
help shape future regulation and legislation 
during 2013 we concentrated on developing 
our response to the new directors’ 
remuneration regulations and to that end 
continued to participate in the financial 
reporting council frc reporting lab 
in addition we followed recent developments 
in relation to the role and reporting 
requirements of audit committees as set out 
by the frc and lord sharman’s report on 
risk and going concern after such an intense 
period of governance developments we hope 
that companies will now be given a sustained 
period to embed the recent changes 
as chairman i take responsibility for providing 
our board with the opportunity to consider all 
governance developments and for ensuring 
that the directors receive appropriate training 
on relevant issues 
in october 2013 two new pieces of legislation 
for uk incorporated companies to report 
on company strategy and on directors’ 
remuneration came into force as a jersey 
incorporated company this new legislation 
does not apply to petrofac however as 
you will see on pages 1 to 65 and pages 
92 to 113 where practicable we have 
endeavoured to comply with these changes 
and have voluntarily taken the opportunity 
to structure our remuneration report in 
alignment with companies incorporated in the 
uk further information on the disclosures 
required by and our compliance with the new 
directors’ remuneration regulations are set out 
within the remuneration report on page 93 
i have every 
conﬁdence 
that we can 
build on our 
work to date 
to ensure that 
the interests 
of the 
directors as 
stewards of 
the company 
are aligned 
with those 
of investors

safe
whilst the board has responsibility for 
reviewing our health safety security 
environment integrity and assurance 
hsseia policy this did not change in 2013 
having been reviewed in detail in 2012
the board was however actively engaged 
in living the ﬁrst of our values
 it received regular updates from our 
group director of hsseia on safety 
covering general trends as well as speciﬁc 
incidents including fatalities and high 
potential incidents
 it approved the hsseia plan for 2013
 it monitored the evacuation of employees 
from the in salah southern ﬁelds development 
in algeria 
 the board risk committee received detailed 
reports and presentations on integrity 
assurance and process safety
quality and cost conscious
we take pride in what we do we want to 
do it well and cost effectively so that we are 
differentiated from our competitors the 
board monitors the group’s performance 
in the following ways
 ayman asfari provides the board with 
a detailed report which focuses on our 
operational delivery allowing the board 
to monitor and measure progress at 
every meeting
 the board regularly monitors the group’s 
ﬁnancial performance and approves all 
scheduled releases to the market
 our risk governance framework seeks to 
safeguard execution excellence with due 
regard for cost
 our fit for 2015 programme has been 
driven by a desire to deliver ‘better for less’ 
in everything we do
responsive
we seek to understand our customers so that 
we can develop our strategy in response to 
their evolving needs 
the board spent 36 of its meeting time 
considering strategic matters during the year 
delivering the petrofac jsd6000 vessel on 
budget and on schedule will be a prime focus 
going forward and evidence of the board 
delivering its strategy in response to an 
identiﬁed customer demand
the group’s shape continues to change and 
ensuring we have the right funding in place is a 
further example of the board responding to the 
business’s changing needs our successful 
inaugural bond issue was a direct response 
to this challenge
innovative
it is in our nature to think differently to 
proactively challenge convention and seek 
out new ways to add value 
our innovative philosophy has driven our plans 
to develop our deepwater epci strategy which 
is allowing us to build a differentiated top tier 
offshore business the board gave its approval 
to develop our epci strategy at the start of the 
year and provided further approval for the 
investment in the specialist vessel towards the 
end of the year
ethical
as a company we aspire to the highest 
standards of ethical behaviour our updated 
code of conduct which is founded on our 
core values and governs how we work was 
rolled out across the group during the year 
the aim of this document which is available 
on our website is to set out our expectations 
of everyone who works for and with petrofac 
and to help us ensure we continue to do the 
right thing for our employees customers 
suppliers communities and the environment 
in which we operate
as a board we have continued to focus on 
ethical matters through the introduction and 
roll out of our diversity and inclusion policy 
across the group and the implementation of a 
social impacts standard
driven to deliver
petrofac has a relentless focus on delivery 
with the aim of meeting and exceeding our

full biographies of each of our directors in 
ofﬁce at year end are shown on pages 68 and 
69 those biographies for directors standing 
for election or reelection are also included in 
the notice of meeting all our nonexecutive 
directors are independent in judgement and 
character each was appointed through an 
impartial recruitment process and none has 
any other connection with the company 
all our directors are required to disclose to our 
board any potential conﬂict for consideration 
and i am not aware of any relationship or 
circumstance which is likely to prejudice or 
could appear to prejudice the judgement of 
any director
we have made considerable efforts to build a 
board with the right balance of skills diversity 
and industry expertise you will see that our 
directors are drawn from across the world 
and have varied career histories with no 
single type of person dominating the board 
we are fortunate in that many of our directors 
bring a great deal of experience in the oil and 
gas industry both in lumpsum contracting 
and subsurface exploration and production 
we believe this is essential to safeguard 
the longterm interests of our shareholders 
the additional strengths brought to the board 
by each director are detailed further on pages 
68 and 69 
how is the board structured
as a jersey incorporated company our board 
is unitary in nature this means that all our 
directors share equal responsibility for 
decisions taken executive and nonexecutive 
directors need to be able to work together in 
an atmosphere of openness trust and mutual 
respect it is therefore important that all 
directors see the chairman as a fair and 
impartial individual my relationships with the 
group chief executive and the senior 
independent director are of particular 
importance as these two individuals 
represent the views of management and 
nonexecutive directors respectively i believe 
that an effective working relationship between 
each of our directors provides a robust 
framework which is essential for the 
progression of the company’s strategic aims 
i hold regular private meetings with ayman 
and we will often discuss matters before and 
after they are considered at board meetings 
in order that we can reach a mutual 
understanding of each other’s views 
especially in matters where we may not initially 
be in agreement i also hold private meetings 
and maintain regular contact with rijnhard 
between our scheduled board meetings 
and believe that i am equally informed 
about the views of both management and 
nonexecutive directors 
in addition i set aside time during some board 
meetings to see the nonexecutive directors 
separately each of these meetings provides 
insight which assists me in two ways i am 
better able to set the agenda for our board 
meetings and i can ensure that all directors 
contribute at our meetings through their 
individual and collective experience challenge 
and support 
the board is assisted by four committees 
as set out in the diagram opposite 
each committee is responsible for 
reviewing and overseeing activities within 
its particular terms of reference copies 
of which are available on the company’s 
website wwwpetrofaccom at each 
scheduled board meeting the chairman 
of each committee provides a summary 
of any committee meeting held since the 
previous board meeting and the minutes of 
all committee meetings are circulated to the 
board individual reports from each committee 
chairman for 2013 are provided on pages 80 
to 113 
in addition to the four board committees 
there are a number of executive management 
committees involved in the daytoday 
operational management of petrofac which 
have been established to consider various 
issues and matters for recommendation to the

as well as directors and the secretary to the

and functional management are invited to 
attend board meetings during 2013 updates 
were provided from operational management 
one and two tiers below director level as 
well as from the functional heads of hsseia 
hr it risk security compliance group 
tax external affairs and strategy we believe 
this interaction helps directors gain a deeper 
understanding of the company and allows 
them to get to know its senior management 
thus enhancing their understanding of the 
business and the implementation of strategy 
and making for more effective and lively board 
meetings we also consider that giving senior 
management the opportunity to present to 
the board and meet the directors informally is 
invaluable for their personal development
how often does our board meet
the board meets facetoface at least 
six times a year at scheduled meetings 
in addition the board meets on an ad hoc 
telephonic basis when items of business 
arise which cannot be held over until the next 
planned meeting scheduled meetings are 
generally held over a twoday period though 
at least two of these meetings are longer as 
during our annual programme of events we 
also hold dedicated strategy days as well as a 
site visit committee meetings are held prior to 
board meetings 
where does our board meet
petrofac limited was incorporated in jersey 
under the companies jersey law 1991 
and although we hold our board meetings 
at a variety of locations most are held in 
jersey every year one of our six scheduled 
meetings is held in sharjah uae being the 
location of our largest ofﬁce and the centre 
of our onshore engineering  construction 
business while in sharjah in 2013 the board 
took the opportunity to meet with and speak 
to a group of graduates as well as around 
50 members of our local management 
team every year we also hold one meeting 
in a location where petrofac has signiﬁcant 
business in october 2013 we visited 
singapore and malaysia further details of 
this visit can be found below meetings held 
outside of jersey allow the board to gain a 
better understanding of petrofac its people 
its customers its suppliers and partners 
in october the board held its board and 
committee meetings in singapore at the 
training centre on jurong island during the 
visit directors toured the facility received a 
presentation from local management on our 
ies and ecom businesses in singapore and 
southeast asia and had the opportunity 
to meet with a crosssection of employees 
thereby giving the board the opportunity 
to see each part of the business and help 
them to understand some of the challenges 
being faced 
the meetings were followed by a trip to 
the pasir gudang shipyard in malaysia 
hosted by our contractor malaysia marine 
and heavy engineering mmhe the board 
was able to see the ﬂoating production 
storage and ofﬂoading fpso vessel 
which is currently being refurbished prior 
to deployment on our cendor phase 2 
project over the course of this three
day trip as well as providing exposure to 
employees and suppliers the visit also 
gave directors the opportunity to meet 
with the senior management of our client 
petronas thus gaining an insight into any 
customer concerns

how do we get the best out of 
our board
we invest time and effort in appointing our 
directors and arranging board meetings to 
ensure we get the best out of our directors 
individually and the board as a whole i believe 
that the board must operate in an atmosphere 
of mutual trust and respect in order to be 
effective and i therefore encourage directors 
to be open and forthright in order to stimulate 
active debate within each meeting this allows 
for scrutiny and constructive challenge 
before any board decisions are taken as well 
as encouraging the right culture within the 
boardroom directors must be practically 
supported to enable them to engage fully with 
the company and allow them to make their 
best possible contribution i outline below 
some of the practical measures we take
information provided 
we adopt a tailored approach to developing 
our board agendas some items are brought 
to the board on the basis of a 6 or 12month 
rolling programme such as strategy the 
forthcoming year’s budget or hsseia plan 
while others such as the reports from the 
group chief executive and chief financial 
ofﬁcer are standing items generally though 
the majority of the agenda is comprised 
of nonrecurring items such as strategic 
matters or project speciﬁc and investment 
related opportunities we believe this allows 
our directors to engage more effectively 
and encourages constructive debate during 
each meeting
as recommended by the uk code and as 
part of our commitment to best practice 
we ensure papers are dispatched in a timely 
manner usually one week prior to each 
meeting papers are provided electronically 
through a dedicated secure application 
giving directors instant access to papers 
as well as to a useful resource bank of 
additional information when telephonic 
board meetings are held the secretary to 
the board ensures that papers are circulated 
electronically generally at least 24 hours prior 
to the meeting
our selection process 
the nominations committee is responsible 
for the recommendation of directors to our 
board and there is a formal rigorous and 
transparent selection procedure for the 
appointment of new directors board size and 
composition are considered very carefully 
to ensure the right balance of individuals 
taking into account experience and diversity 
in addition our directors are made aware 
of the need to allocate sufﬁcient time to the 
company to discharge their responsibilities 
effectively care is taken to establish the 
existing commitments of all nonexecutive 
directors particularly the chairman should a 
director’s external commitments change after 
appointment they are required to make me 
and the board aware as soon as practicable 
so that we can consider any potential conﬂict 
of interest time commitment challenge 
or residency status issue a report on the 
activities of the nominations committee is set 
out on page 80
director development and training 
while we do not run an extensive programme 
of ‘onesizeﬁts all’ training i encourage all 
directors to pursue an individually tailored 
development programme throughout the 
year comprising a mixture of formal seminars 
led by external advisors ofﬁce and site 
visits as well as governance and health and 
safety training a training workshop was 
provided to the board on process safety and 
asset integrity while members of the audit 
committee also attended individual sessions 
with our auditors in relation to the new 
governance requirements impacting overall 
reporting we maintain a training record for 
each director and this is reviewed during the 
evaluation process over the course of this 
year approximately 170 hours of training were 
recorded by the board 
what is our approach 
to shareholders 
reappointing directors
in line with the uk code all directors will 
seek appointment and reappointment by 
shareholders at the 2014 annual general 
meeting agm as also required the terms 
and conditions of appointment of all directors 
are available for inspection by any person 
at our registered ofﬁce in jersey and at our 
corporate services ofﬁce in london they are 
also made available for inspection during 
the 30 minutes prior to the start of our agm 
each year

august 2013 and an individually tailored 
induction programme was provided as chief

 to increase kathleen’s knowledge 
of petrofac especially relating to our 
ecom business and in particular 
epc contracting 
 to increase her understanding of the 
uklisted company environment and 
to provide any speciﬁc assistance in 
preparing for her role as a member of the 
board committees
induction programme
 as for all new appointments kathleen 
attended our compulsory presentation 
led by freshﬁelds on the role and 
responsibilities of a uklisted director
 in addition coordinating around 
scheduled board meetings arrangements 
were made for kathleen to visit our ofﬁces 
in london singapore and kuala lumpur 
as well as attending the site visit in 
malaysia with the full board these visits 
gave her the opportunity to meet senior 
operational management key functional 
heads of the group and new graduates
 a tailored visit to kuwait is scheduled for 
april 2014 evaluation of board effectiveness
the uk code requires me to conduct 
an annual evaluation of the board our 
committees and individual directors to 
establish whether or not the board is working 
effectively at the start of the year i conducted 
onetoone interviews with each director 
using a set of predeﬁned questions aiming 
to address the activities of the board and the 
committees each interview resulted in open 
conversations and discussions
rijnhard van tets conducted his own appraisal 
of me following a series of interviews with our 
executive and nonexecutive directors
following this evaluation process i can conﬁrm 
that the performance of each director was 
effective during the year and can conclude 
that the control and leadership required for a 
listed company is provided by the board as 
a whole 
at the end of the year we engaged the 
services of sheena crane limited to conduct 
an externally facilitated evaluation ms crane 
observed committee and board meetings in 
november and has subsequently undertaken 
onetoone interviews with each director 
in february 2014 ms crane provided 
feedback to me and to the board as a whole 
including my individual performance i am 
currently in the process of prioritising the 
proposed recommendations and will provide 
a full account next year 
issues identiﬁed in 2013 and how they are being addressed is shown below
outputs from evaluation
agreed action and areas of suggested 
improvement
succession planning over the last two years considerable time has been 
spent on the practicable application of succession 
planning both at board and at senior management 
level this work continues primarily within the 
nominations committee remit to establish effective 
succession plans and to ascertain those individuals 
who are ready for a new role now and those who 
require further development and training 
greater ﬁnancial detail requested to permit 
better consideration of the group’s capital 
demands future ﬁnancing plans and ﬁnancial 
structures
expanding the ﬁnancial information presented in the 
ﬁveyear plans to include downside scenarios and 
including sensitivities on future cash ﬂows within 
regular reports to provide greater insight and allow 
the board to focus on ﬁnancial planning in a more 
focused and concentrated way
crisis management the development of crisis management planning 
and the board’s role in such plans is seen as 
extremely important as a result of the crisis in 
algeria in january 2013 which resulted in the 
evacuation of our in salah site we feel better 
prepared for operational crises however speciﬁc 
and targeted training initiatives are planned
increase health and safety oversight consideration to be given to increasing the hse 
disclosures reported at each board meeting and 
further to provide more indepth presentations and 
deep dive sessions on speciﬁc hse matters on 
the signiﬁcant risks to the business in addition the 
group director of hsseia now attends all board 
meetings as a result of the three fatalities which 
occurred during 2013 board focus on hse matters 
remains high
overall risk oversight we have continued to develop metrics required to 
monitor our risk framework and the key areas of 
risk which affect the business membership of the 
board risk committee has also been expanded 
to include all nonexecutive directors to 
ensure greater board engagement a new 
risk management software package has also 
been introduced which allows the tracking and 
development of the company’s key risks and the 
development of effective reporting metrics

how do we deal with potential 
conﬂicts of interest
as far as is possible the other directors 
and i endeavour to avoid conﬂicts of interest 
with the company however potential 
conﬂicts can occasionally arise during a 
term of appointment and accordingly we 
have processes and procedures in place 
that require directors to identify and declare 
any actual or potential conﬂicts of interest 
whether matterspeciﬁc or situational 
such notiﬁcations are required to be made 
by the director concerned prior to or at a 
board meeting and all directors have a duty 
to update the whole board of any changes 
in circumstances in accordance with the 
company’s articles of association the board 
may authorise potential conﬂicts which can be 
limited in scope during the year all conﬂict 
management procedures were adhered to 
and operated effectively 
do the directors have deeds 
of indemnity
all directors and ofﬁcers of petrofac limited 
are provided with deeds of indemnity in 
respect of liabilities which may be incurred as 
a result of their ofﬁce in accordance with our 
articles of association and to the maximum 
extent permitted by jersey law in addition 
petrofac has appropriate insurance coverage 
in respect of legal action which may be 
brought against the directors and its ofﬁcers 
neither the company’s indemnities nor 
insurance would provide any cover where a 
director or ofﬁcer was found to have acted 
fraudulently or dishonestly accountability 
how does our board formally 
satisfy itself that it has sound 
risk management and internal 
control systems
the board is responsible for reviewing the 
effectiveness of petrofac’s risk management 
and internal control systems including 
ﬁnancial operational and compliance 
controls the board currently considers this 
by reference to the work undertaken during 
the year by both the audit and board risk 
committees in addition to which the board 
also receives regular reports from members 
of management with responsibility for the 
group’s material enterprise risks 
to facilitate the yearend process the audit 
and board risk committees held a joint 
meeting in order to provide the board with 
a formal report on the effectiveness of the 
group’s ﬁnancial and regulatory controls 
and the effectiveness of the group’s risk 
management systems in relation to the 
group’s enterprise risks and project and 
investment risks this report allows the 
board to take a view on whether or not the 
group has sound risk management and 
internal control systems in place the board 
is satisﬁed that sound risk management and 
internal control systems have been in place 
across the group throughout 2013 and as at 
today’s date when the ﬁnancial statements 
were approved petrofac also seeks to have 
a sound system of internal control based 
on the group’s policies and guidelines in all 
material associates and joint ventures as with 
all companies our systems of internal control 
and risk management are designed to mitigate 
and manage rather than eliminate business 
risk and can only ever provide reasonable 
and not absolute assurance against material 
misstatement or loss
how does our board identify 
petrofac’s signiﬁcant risks
the board risk committee receives a 
key risk report krr which identiﬁes the 
principal risks facing the company and 
evaluates the likelihood of their incidence 
and their impact to the group if they were 
to materialise the committee assesses 
the availability and likely effectiveness of the 
actions that are planned to manage and 
mitigate these risks in order to avoid or reduce 
the impact of the underlying risk
in terms of process risks which appear in the 
krr are identiﬁed managed and reported 
at ﬁve primary levels within the group as 
set out in the diagram below at the lowest 
level level 5 we identify operational risks 
relevant geographical regional or portfolio 
exposures are introduced at level 4 risks to 
speciﬁc business service lines appear at 
level 3 tactical risks are introduced at 
divisional level and ﬁnally risks to the delivery 
of our strategy are identiﬁed and reviewed at

the process of identiﬁcation is both topdown

as detailed on pages 8 to 51 petrofac has 
a clear strategy and business plan with 
three growth priorities designed to increase 
shareholder value over the medium to 
long term i geographic expansion ii ies 
growth and iii building the offshore epci 
business in addition to which the ﬁveyear 
business plans submitted to the board which 
incorporate risk analysis as a matter of course 
set ﬁnancial targets for the group
the group formally measures performance 
against these strategic goals quarterly and 
each business unit reports operational 
progress monthly at each board meeting 
ayman provides a full update on business 
operations during which any possible 
impediments to the delivery of our group 
goals are highlighted and discussed 
the board also receives comprehensive 
reports from our chief financial ofﬁcer 
this ensures the board is kept fully informed 
about the group’s ﬁnancial performance for 
the year to date as compared with the year’s 
budget or the latest revised forecast with 
explanations for any variances in addition to 
being kept abreast of all signiﬁcant health 
safety and security matters we continue to 
develop a broader set of ﬁnancial and non
ﬁnancial key performance indicators which 
should assist us in monitoring delivery of 
these goals

governance
corporate governance report continued remuneration 
how do we decide what directors 
are paid
the remuneration committee is responsible 
for determining the remuneration and terms 
of employment of executive directors as well 
as some members of senior management 
this committee is also responsible for 
agreeing the chairman’s fees a detailed 
report on the activities of the remuneration 
committee is provided on pages 92 to 
113 responsibility for determining the 
remuneration payable to the nonexecutive 
directors lies with the board and therefore the 
executive directors and i effectively determine 
the fees payable to the nonexecutive 
directors albeit we take independent external 
advice these fees are reviewed each year 
and further details are provided on page 112
relations with 
shareholders
who are our major shareholders
ordinarily shareholders of jersey incorporated 
companies with a uk listing need only 
disclose their holdings if they hold voting 
rights of 5 or more in a company however 
our articles of association have been drafted 
so that any shareholder with 3 or more of 
our voting rights must disclose their holding 
bringing us in line with ukincorporated 
companies those shareholders with holdings 
of 3 or more at the yearend and as at the 
date of this report are as follows

how does our board engage with 
our shareholders and make sure 
that it is aware of shareholders’ 
views 
as a board we acknowledge our 
responsibilities to promote the success of 
petrofac for many of our stakeholders but our 
principal focus is of course our shareholders 
shareholder sentiment has been a discussion 
topic at each board meeting this year 
especially as our share price declined during 
the year
ayman tim and the investor relations team 
headed by jonathan low have a regular 
programme of meetings scheduled each year 
and conduct a series of individual meetings 
with existing and potential shareholders 
following our full and half year results and 
interim management statements they also 
provide presentations to research analysts 
and institutional investors including 
question and answer sessions following the 
announcement of our full and half year results 
these presentations are broadcast live on 
our website and accordingly may be followed 
by all shareholders directors also receive 
brokers’ research notes from jonathan and 
an update from our joint brokers at each 
board meeting 
during 2013 over 300 investor meetings were 
held by the investor relations team of which 
ayman andor tim attended approximately 
60 at the end of 2013 we held a capital 
markets day in london which provided an 
update on the group’s strategy and ﬁnancial 
proﬁle all of our current executive directors 
accompanied by the managing directors of 
each of our business units were in attendance 
to answer questions on our ecom and ies 
divisions and to outline the enhancement 
of our offshore epc capability as a result 
i believe that ayman and tim are each well 
placed to provide the rest of the board with 
their insights into shareholder sentiment 
recognising the importance of shareholder 
engagement especially as progress continues 
in adopting the frc stewardship code 
towards the end of the year i once again 
contacted investors representative bodies 
and governance organisations offering them 
the opportunity to meet with the aim of 
understanding any governance concerns 
accompanied by our secretary to the 
board and the head of investor relations 
we met with three of our largest institutional 
shareholders and a key voting and advisory 
services provider whilst areas of focus varied 
between meetings succession planning 
directors’ remuneration risk awareness 
and hse issues were raised as areas of 
particular interest 
we place considerable importance on 
communication with our shareholders 
whether they are large institutional 
shareholders or private shareholders 
many of whom are also employees of the 
group as with many organisations we give 
shareholders the option of receiving their 
communications in soft copyelectronic 
form however we are keen to ensure all 
shareholders are kept informed of our 
activities and therefore although over 13 
of shareholders have opted to receive their 
documents electronically we continue to issue 
hard copies of our annual report and accounts 
to those who request them all shareholder 
documents market announcements together 
with copies of presentations to analysts and 
interviews with ayman are available on our 
website wwwpetrofaccom which we hope 
encourages shareholders to become more 
informed investors
our annual general meeting agm
full details of this year’s agm which will be 
held in london are set out in the notice of 
meeting which accompanies this report and 
which is also available on our website as a 
matter of good practice we will conduct 
all resolutions on a poll and announce the 
results to the market as soon as possible 
after the meeting all shareholders are invited 
to attend the company’s agm at which they 
have the opportunity to put questions to the 
board and meet with those board directors 
able to attend those shareholders who 
are unable to attend the agm are invited 
to email questions to me in advance at 
agmquestionspetrofaccom i look forward 
to seeing as many of you as possible this year 
when my colleagues and i will be available to 
answer your questions

2013 2012 dear shareholder
as part of its remit the committee has 
responsibility for the identiﬁcation and 
recommendation of prospective directors 
for board approval a formal procedure for 
selecting and recruiting directors is in place 
and extensive consideration is given to 
identifying the capabilities required of potential 
candidates taking into account the balance 
of existing skills knowledge experience and 
diversity on the board 
board changes 
continuing the process started in 2012 we 
engaged in a comprehensive search to ﬁnd 
a new nonexecutive director we worked 
with egon zehnder a recruitment consultancy 
ﬁrm that has signed up to the voluntary code 
of conduct on gender diversity best practice 
and with whom we have no other relationship 
after a lengthy search process we were 
delighted to welcome kathleen hogenson 
to the board as a nonexecutive director in 
august 2013 
kathleen has some 30 years’ experience in 
the oil and gas industry and currently runs her 
own company in the us she brings extensive 
subsurface knowledge entrepreneurial 
spirit commercial acumen and an indepth 
understanding of the industry attributes 
which enrich the board with kathleen’s 
appointment we have also fulﬁlled our 
aspiration to have 15 female representation 
on the board by 2013 
after more than 22 years with the company 
the committee acknowledged with regret 
maroun semaan’s decision to retire and 
step down from the board at the end of the 
year the committee would like to take this 
opportunity to recognise maroun’s signiﬁcant 
contribution to the group and to our board 
deliberations during a long and distinguished 
career and we of course wish him well in 
his retirement 
in january 2014 we announced the departure 
of andy inglis with effect from february 2014 
andy established the ies division in 2011 and 
has overseen the growth of that business 
which has seen a threefold increase in net 
proﬁt in three years we wish andy well for 
the future
we have previously expressed the view 
that nonexecutive directors should serve 
no longer than six years nevertheless the 
committee made the decision last year that 
the board would beneﬁt if rijnhard remained 
as a director for a further year i am delighted 
to report that he has now agreed to serve a 
full third term subject to shareholder approval 
as we said last year the company has 
undergone a period of substantial change 
yet the tenure of the board’s nonexecutive 
membership is relatively short with the 
exception of rijnhard all of our nonexecutive 
directors have less than four years’ service 
with the group the committee therefore 
continues to believe that rijnhard’s board 
membership is of particular beneﬁt given 
his ‘corporate memory’ which enables him 
to challenge colleagues with great insight 
furthermore he has wideranging ﬁnancial 
experience and working with me has 
developed the role of senior independent 
director so that it has genuine signiﬁcance
following these board changes the 
committee acknowledges the recent 
proportion shift on the board between 
executive and nonexecutive directors 
at the time of kathleen’s appointment the 
committee also took the opportunity to review 
the composition of each board committee 
recommending various changes details of the 
current membership are disclosed within the 
individual reports of each committee
succession planning and talent 
management 
advising the board on succession is a key 
aspect of the committee’s role and we are 
very conscious of our responsibilities in 
relation to board and senior management 
succession plans we need to ensure that 
board and senior management changes 
are managed effectively and in the event of 
unforeseen changes the group’s strategy is 
not disrupted 
we recognise that the success of our 
company comes from ensuring a talent 
pipeline exists throughout the organisation 
and that effective hr processes are in 
place to attract retain and develop skilled 
employees our talent management strategy 
is now embedded across the group both at 
business unit and divisional level it is used 
to identify clearly critical roles and gaps and 
provide a framework for staff training and 
performance management thereby informing 
the succession planning process in addition 
leadership development workshops are being 
initiated across the group with focus being 
given to coaching
building on our commitment last year to focus 
on succession planning the committee spent 
time during the year reviewing the senior 
management pipeline and appraising potential 
managing director succession candidates 
on an individual basis where particular 
weaknesses have been identiﬁed action 
plans are being implemented to ensure that 
highcalibre employees with the required 
skills experience and knowledge are being 
suitably developed this work will continue 
throughout 2014
diversity
at the end of 2012 the board adopted a 
diversity and inclusion policy which applies 
not only to the board but to the entire 
group this policy aims to ensure equality 
of opportunity and fairness in all areas 
of employment to value the diversity of 
our employees and promote an inclusive 
culture across our business irrespective of 
background or gender we aim to recruit on 
merit and employ the best people for each 
role diversity and inclusion training for all 
managers and supervisors is scheduled to 
take place during 2014
we believe that diversity is wider than simply 
gender and as a consequence consider 
that our business beneﬁts greatly from a 
varied employee base of over 80 nationalities 
nevertheless we recognise that we continue 
to have a gender imbalance across the group 
especially given that engineering continues 
to be a predominately maledominated 
profession we acknowledge that we have few 
women in senior engineering roles but we are 
committed to building a pipeline of talent from 
the bottom up and to that end i am pleased 
to report that 26 of our graduate recruits 
during 2013 were female which is favourable 
when compared with the uk industry average 
of 14 for 201112 as reported in engineering 
uk 2014 whilst we do not believe we have all 
the answers we are seeking to address some 
of the issues and develop suitable plans 
including the provision of environments that 
will encourage employees to remain with us as 
they progress through their careers details of 
our current gender diversity statistics are set 
out opposite

81 dear shareholder
i assumed the role of chairman of the audit 
committee in august having been a member 
of the committee since the start of 2012 
i succeeded rijnhard van tets who has very 
effectively led the committee for six years 
and whom i am very pleased will remain as a 
member of the committee for the remainder 
of his board tenure
while a change to the membership of the 
committee took place during the year we 
continue to have four independent non
executive directors whom i consider are able 
to bring an appropriate balance of ﬁnancial or 
accounting experience together with a deep 
understanding of the oil and gas industry 
following her departure from the committee 
i wish to express my thanks to roxanne 
for her input and commitment over the last 
two years 
the primary responsibility of the committee 
is to oversee our ﬁnancial reporting 
arrangements and to support the board by 
monitoring the integrity of the company’s 
ﬁnancial statements this allows us to provide 
shareholders with the necessary information 
to assess the company’s performance 
business model and strategy in doing this 
the committee gives due consideration to 
the group’s system of internal controls and to 
matters which coincide with key events in our 
ﬁnancial reporting calendar in addition to the 
general ﬁnancial reporting matters considered 
during the year focus was also given to
 solvency and going concern statements
 dividend payments including compliance 
with jersey legislation
 related party transactions
 fraud detection arrangements
 appropriateness of the company’s  
nonaudit service policy and fees
 tax position of the group
consideration and training was also given 
on the governance and regulatory changes 
impacting audit committees this year 
including narrative reporting changes identiﬁed 
in the uk code auditor reporting revisions 
and proposed auditor rotation provisions

changes recommended by the uk corporate 
governance code and the frc guidance on 
audit committees copies are available on 
our website activities during the year
the committee supports the board in the 
effective discharge of its responsibilities 
for ﬁnancial reporting and internal control 
as set out in our directors’ statements on 
page 114 directors are responsible for the 
preparation of group ﬁnancial statements 
in accordance with international financial 
reporting standards ifrs the group has 
an internal control and risk management 
framework in place which permits the 
company to prepare consolidated accounts 
this includes policies and procedures to 
ensure that adequate accounting records 
are maintained and transactions accurately 
recorded to ensure the company’s ﬁnancial 
reports and communications to the market 
give a clear and balanced assessment of the 
company’s position 
in addition to the matters considered during 
the year as set out below we also reviewed 
the 2013 full year results and the annual 
report and accounts at the beginning 
of 2014 
internal audit 
the board has overall responsibility for 
ensuring that the group has an adequate 
system of internal control on behalf of the 
board the committee has oversight over 
and reviews the effectiveness of the group’s 
internal ﬁnancial controls in doing so the 
committee draws on input from the group 
head of internal audit who is responsible for 
providing the committee with assurances on 
the adequacy of the internal control functions 
and attends each committee meeting 
at the start of the year the committee 
agreed the audit plan to be undertaken by 
the internal audit team a summary progress 
report setting out key ﬁndings of the work 
undertaken is provided at each meeting 
and any signiﬁcant areas of concerns are 
discussed and if required actions agreed 
any changes to the internal audit plan during 
the year are agreed by the committee and are 
usually required where
 circumstances within the group have 
changed or
 the level of risk has increased or decreased 
signiﬁcantly or 
 speciﬁcally requested by management 
during the year kpmgforensics were 
appointed to carry out an independent 
fraud risk assessment of our procurement 
processes within the oec business in uae 
it is intended that further assessments will be 
conducted across other parts of the business 
during 2014 the purpose of the review was 
to understand the major fraud risks and 
to identify any weaknesses in our existing 
processes based on the feedback received 
our existing preventative controls will be 
updated in addition a new fraud risk control 
matrix will be progressively introduced as 
and when the fraud risk assessment for each 
process is completed 
internal controls
the group’s internal control systems 
are largely divided into three categories 
operational effectiveness and efﬁciency 
reliability of ﬁnancial reporting and compliance 
with applicable laws and regulations we have 
a number of processes in place for identifying 
evaluating and managing the risks within 
each of these categories as the group has 
grown the risks being faced have evolved 
as a result our internal control framework 
has had to change to ensure that we have 
the most appropriate controls in place a joint 
meeting of the committee and the board 
risk committee was held at yearend so that 
assurance could be provided to the board 
that effective governance risk management 
and control processes were in place
matters considered and reviewed by the committee during the year are summarised in the table below

83 external auditors
ernst  young llp ernst  young have been 
the company’s auditors since initial listing and 
provide the committee with relevant reports 
reviews information and advice throughout 
the year the committee remain satisﬁed of 
the auditors’ effectiveness and in making this 
assessment had due regard to their expertise 
and understanding of the group their 
resourcing capabilities independence and 
the contents of their reports each year the 
committee holds a meeting with the auditors 
without management present to discuss 
a variety of issues not least the conduct 
of the audit and in addition the chairman 
of the committee has regular contact with 
the audit partner outside of scheduled 
committee meetings 
each year ernst  young set out their 
proposed audit approach and scope to 
ensure that the audit is aligned with the 
committee’s expectations this is done with 
due regard to continuing developments within 
the company such as for 2013 the ongoing 
execution and completion of ies projects and 
the continued delivery of oec projects and 
the progress of contracts nearing completion 
where changes to the audit scope have 
occurred during the year the committee has 
been encouraged by the auditors’ interaction 
with management to ensure no impact occurs 
to the overall audit process thereby ensuring 
strong governance processes at yearend 
a report was provided to the committee 
detailing areas of audit risk the ﬁndings of 
which were reviewed and considered by 
the committee 
audit tender
the uk code now provides that a listed 
company should put its external audit 
contract out to tender at least every 10 years 
following the introduction of these new 
provisions the committee gave consideration 
to a formal audit tender during 2014 and 
decided that it would not undertake any 
such process this year an external audit ﬁrm 
is required to appoint a new audit partner 
every ﬁve years and a partner rotation for 
petrofac took place following the end of the 
2012 yearend audit in line with published 
recommendations the company will therefore 
consider tendering the audit following the end 
of our current audit partner tenure in 2018 
however this will be kept under consideration 
especially in view of the introduction of any 
new european legislation
signiﬁcant judgements 
signiﬁcant judgements considered by the committee are set out in the table below 
signiﬁcant judgements 
considered by the committee
how the issue was addressed 
by the committee 
revenue and margin recognition 
on ﬁxed price engineering 
procurement and construction 
contracts
the committee reviewed the reasonableness of judgements 
made regarding the cost to complete estimates the timing of 
recognition of variation orders the adequacy of contingency 
provisions to mitigate contract speciﬁc risks and the 
assessments around the potential for liquidated damages for 
projects behind schedule the committee held discussions with 
executive directors and received regular internal audit reports 
into the operating effectiveness of internal controls relevant to 
these judgements further the external auditors performed audit 
procedures on revenue recognition and reported their ﬁndings 
to the committee the committee concluded that the timing 
of recognition continues to be in line with ifrs requirements 
and were comfortable with the judgements made in respect 
of these items 
accounting for ies contracts the appropriateness of the accounting treatments adopted 
in respect of the ies contracts entered into or subsisting 
during the course of the year was reviewed by the committee 
accounting for ies contracts was also an area of focus for the 
external auditor who reported their ﬁndings to the committee 
the committee concluded that the accounting treatment 
adopted in respect of ies contracts continues to be in line 
with ifrs requirements
goodwill and tangible 
asset impairment 
the judgements in relation to impairment testing relate to the 
assumptions applied in calculating the value in use of the cash
generating units to which the goodwill is allocated and the fair 
value less costs of disposal for other assets subject to testing 
the key assumptions applied for impairment testing relate to the 
future performance expectations of the cashgenerating units 
using board approved business plans and the discount rate 
used to calculate the present value of the future cash ﬂows from 
the units a six monthly report is reviewed by the board which 
analyses the forecast results of each ies project compared 
with the initial investment case sanctioned by the board 
the committee reviewed the results of impairment testing by 
management and held discussions with external audit in relation 
to their ﬁndings the committee concluded that the results of 
management’s goodwill and tangible asset impairment testing 
were appropriate
taxation the tax positions within the group were monitored and reviewed 
by the committee to ensure that the group’s effective tax 
rate tax provisions and the recognition of deferred tax assets 
continue to be appropriate taxation issues were discussed with 
senior management and a report outlining key tax issues was 
reviewed the external auditor also reported to the committee 
on the ﬁndings of their audit of the group’s tax charge 
and provisions

governance
audit committee report continued nonaudit services
to safeguard the independence and 
objectivity of our external auditors we have 
a nonaudit services policy that sets out the 
circumstances where we may appoint our 
external auditors to undertake additional 
nonaudit work to ensure compliance with 
this policy the committee regularly reviews 
the group’s cumulative nonaudit spend and 
furthermore gives prior consideration to the 
appointment of ernst  young should the 
nature or size of the proposed work require 
it the committee is satisﬁed that ernst  
young’s objectivity and independence has 
not been affected by any nonaudit work 
undertaken by them during the year
there were no breaches during the year of the 
us300000 threshold requiring prior approval 
by the committee the nonaudit spend for 
the year as a percentage of the overall audit 
fee was 32 2012 24 whilst this is higher 
than previous years some of these costs 
relate to the work completed in association 
with our inaugural bond issue although the 
majority is largely due to the increased use of 
ernst  young in certain jurisdictions mainly 
in north africa the middle east and central 
asia to provide advice and incountry tax 
compliance services we feel that given 
ernst  young’s experience their presence in 
these regions assures us they are the most 
appropriate provider of this work details of 
the fees in respect of audit and nonaudit 
related services can be found on page 136 
and in note 4e to the ﬁnancial statements 
during the year the committee reviewed the 
nonaudit services policy whilst proposed 
eu legislation may introduce increased 
restrictions on audit ﬁrms providing certain 
nonaudit services the committee considers 
that the existing policy remains appropriate 
for the time being it will however revisit the 
policy once any new regime has been formally 
adopted by the eu the current policy a copy 
of which can be found on the company’s 
website is summarised below
nonaudit services policy
 the external auditors are automatically 
prohibited from carrying out work which 
might impair their objectivity
 the cfo will seek approval from the 
committee before appointing the external 
auditors to carry out a piece of nonaudit 
work where
 – the fee is above us300000
 – total nonaudit fees for the year are 
approaching 50 of the annual audit fee
 – the external auditors would ordinarily 
be prohibited from carrying out the 
work under the company’s nonaudit 
services policy but not prohibited 
under ethical standard 5 and the

terms of reference
the committee reviewed its terms of

governance changes recommended by the 
uk corporate governance code and the 
icsa model terms copies are available on 
our website dear shareholder
2013 may be characterised as a year when 
many of the beneﬁts of the risk initiatives 
introduced over the past two years have 
started to become apparent the committee 
believes that there has been real progress 
in identifying and monitoring risk throughout 
the organisation during the year and 
that furthermore we will see additional 
improvement in 2014 as systems continue 
to mature 
the director of legal and commercial 
affairs and group head of enterprise risk 
continued to provide greater deﬁnition to the 
group’s risk management framework which 
supplied valuable context for the selection 
of an enterprise risk management system 
a thorough pilot study was conducted in 
each division before a system was selected 
the system which is in the process of 
being implemented across the group will 
introduce commonly understood standards 
and processes that should help not only 
to increase our oversight of risk but also 
promote an increased cultural awareness 
of risk we have always been good at 
considering project risks but this development 
should increase our ability to monitor and 
understand systemic risks and the effects 
of aggregation 
our group head of enterprise risk has 
continued to build on the work we started 
some two years ago to develop a more 
credible enterprise risk register a living 
document known as our key risk register 
this identiﬁes the signiﬁcant risks facing the 
group together with mitigating factors and 
is regularly reviewed by management and 
the committee each area of signiﬁcant risk 
has been considered and metrics or key 
performance indicators kpis developed 
so that they can be monitored whilst some 
kpis are proving difﬁcult to collect we have 
made substantial progress looking ahead we 
believe we will be able to monitor risk trends 
more effectively
whilst the committee has made great 
strides in developing a more systematic and 
empirical approach to risk management and 
its oversight it has also continued to rely on 
reports from various functional heads as part 
of the general assurance process our group 
head of compliance group treasurer and 
group head of security each provided 
general updates during 2013 the group 
director of hsseia supplemented his general 
updates to the board with more technical 
presentations to the committee including 
detailed brieﬁngs on integrity assurance and 
our process safety framework
the membership of the committee has been 
expanded this year primarily in response 
to the code’s guidance that the board as 
a whole should take responsibility for risk 
management thomas thune andersen 
and kathleen hogenson both joined the 
committee in august 2013 and each brings 
considerable experience in addition the 
committee is supported by the executive 
directors all of whom make themselves 
available at each meeting this allows the 
committee to ensure that the board spend 
signiﬁcant time considering the principal risks 
and exposures facing the company 
looking ahead we will continue to monitor 
governance developments including the 
implementation of lord sharman’s proposals 
and we intend to participate in the consultation 
on the potential modiﬁcation of the ‘internal 
control guidance to directors’ often referred 
to as the ‘turnbull guidance’
the committee is pleased by the signiﬁcant 
progress made this year but is by no means 
complacent we will continue to monitor 
progress next year with a view to reﬁning 
how we spend our time we will concentrate 
our focus so that we discharge our primary 
responsibilities to identify and manage risks to 
the enterprise and its strategic execution and 
to be assured that effective risk management 
systems are in place throughout the group

87 review of the group’s risk 
management framework
the diagram below sets out petrofac’s 
enterprise risk management framework 
which encompasses the policies culture 
processes systems and other aspects of 
the company that taken together facilitate its 
effective and efﬁcient operation 
principal aspects of this framework are 
explained in the following sections
enterprise risk management 
system erm
an erm system was procured during 2013 
and will be embedded across the group 
during 2014 with the aim of providing an 
integrated approach to risk management 
the system brings risks together by 
type and by exposure under the same 
framework standardising the approach for 
assessing reviewing and reporting on risk 
and enhancing visibility and accountability 
the risk assessment process is based upon 
the principles and guidelines of bs iso 
310002009 and its purpose is to
 regulate the entry of appropriate 
opportunities and risks into the group
 develop our understanding of the most 
signiﬁcant threats and opportunities
 promote active management of these 
exposures down to acceptable levels
 assure the achievement of business plan 
objectives and operational performance
key risk register
the key risk register krr identiﬁes those 
risks with the potential to seriously affect the 
performance future prospects or reputation 
of the company or prevent us from delivering 
our strategic objectives the krr is the 
means by which the company’s principal risks 
are reported to the committee and the board 
for review it includes business ﬁnancial 
hazard and operational risks together with 
external factors over which the board may 
have little or no direct control the krr is 
updated quarterly and identiﬁes
 nature and extent of the risks facing 
the company
 likelihood of the risks materialising and their 
potential impact on business plan objectives
 the company’s ability to reduce or control 
the incidence and impact of risks
 the risk proﬁle by exposure and by type
 the extent and categories of risk which are 
regarded as acceptable for the company 
to bear

reporting risk appetite
the group’s risk appetite has developed 
organically over a number of years based 
on historical risk taking characteristics 
and has continued to develop during 2013 
as we pursue our growth strategy further 
our appetite for risk is largely governed 
through the delegated authorities da and 
risk review committees rrcs which are 
embedded across the group
as part of the review of our risk framework the 
committee continues to believe that it should 
not apply a single aggregate risk appetite for 
the group as a whole preferring to see risk 
appetite managed though individual limits and 
parameters which are continuously monitored 
in each business service line and aggregated 
for review at group level
risk appetite is therefore articulated in a 
variety of ways appropriate to the type of 
exposure under consideration for example 
our policy statements describe the 
committee’s approach to each risk category 
and our policy standards describe acceptable 
controls and limits 
examples of some of the parameters which 
exercise control over risk appetite include
 health  safety – monthly reviews of kpis 
for ltis and hipo incidents
 asset integrity – monthly reviews of control 
kpis associated with all key assets across 
the group
 concentration risk – maximum tolerable 
exposure by territory client and 
contract type
 investment limits – for capital expenditures 
minimum rates of irr or annual free cash
ﬂow targets
 liquidity headroom – agreed by the board 
and speciﬁed in the sovereign and financial 
market risk policy
 ﬁnancial strength – maintain an ebitda 
debt ratio agreed with the board
 loss experience – to manage our 
operational activities and exposures to an 
agreed value or irr
 people risks – nonconformances with 
code of conduct incident reporting and 
attrition rates
during 2014 the committee will continue to 
review the group’s enterprise risk proﬁle and 
framework which together with the evolving 
krr will increasingly become the means by 
which risk appetite and tolerance are deﬁned 
and managed
assurance and reporting
as well as regular reports from the group 
head of enterprise risk further reports to 
the board and committee are provided by 
management and include deepdives into the 
effectiveness of health  safety processes 
asset integrity processes compliance 
nonconformances and security which 
together with other sources of information 
have between them provided a balanced 
assessment of the principal risks and the 
effectiveness of the systems of internal control 
any control failings or weaknesses are 
identiﬁed and discussed in these reports for 
example compliance issues or whistleblowing 
statistics including the underlying reasons 
the impact that they have had on the 
company and the actions being taken to 
rectify them when reviewing these reports 
the committee has considered how effectively 
risks have been identiﬁed how they have been 
mitigated and managed whether actions are 
being taken promptly to remedy any failings 
or weaknesses and whether the causes 
of the failing or weakness have indicated 
poor decisiontaking or a need for more 
extensive monitoring or a reassessment of the 
effectiveness of the processes
interface between the board risk 
committee and audit committee
petrofac has established separate audit 
and board risk committees as such 
there are some areas that span both 
committees’ responsibilities thereby 
requiring effective interfaces between the two 
committees to support and discharge their 
respective responsibilities 
whilst the board has delegated the detailed 
work to these two committees it retains 
overall responsibility for ensuring that the 
group has effective internal control and risk 
management and therefore receives regular 
reports on the work of each committee from 
their respective chairmen in addition the 
board retains ultimate responsibility for the 
group krr
the key areas where both committees 
have common responsibilities are risk 
management compliance internal control 
and in assisting the board in reviewing the 
effectiveness of the company’s internal 
control environment covering
 mechanisms to support the achievement  
of strategic objectives
 reliability of ﬁnancial reporting
 appropriateness of the control environment
 effectiveness and efﬁciency of operations
 compliance with applicable laws 
and regulations
during 2014 the committee intends to align 
and coordinate further the activities of these 
committees around a coso based internal 
control framework
petrofac annual report and accounts 2013
89 governance arrangements
petrofac’s overall system of risk governance relies on a number of committees and management 
processes which bring together reports on the management of risk at various levels
the risk governance process relies upon regular risk assessments and reviews of existing and 
new opportunities by considering the risk exposure and appetite of each business service 
line and function the diagram below sets out the risk governance structure in operation 
showing the interaction between the various risk review and management committees 
terms of reference are in place for individual committees 
the board retains ultimate responsibility 
for setting the group’s risk appetite and 
reviewing the risks which the board considers 
sufﬁciently signiﬁcant that they might prevent 
the delivery of strategy or threaten petrofac’s 
continued existence 
the board risk committee is constituted 
by the board to assist it in discharging 
this responsibility the committee has 
responsibility for providing oversight and 
advice to the board on the current risk 
exposures and future risk strategy and 
in doing so is responsible for making 
recommendations to the board in relation 
to the erm framework the group’s risk 
appetite and tolerance in pursuit of business 
objectives and for approval of the da 
the committee also assists the board with 
the deﬁnition and execution of an effective risk 
management strategy and has responsibility 
for oversight of the company’s framework 
of corporate standards processes and 
procedures in addition the committee 
provides the board with assurance on an 
annual basis that the design and operating 
effectiveness of this control framework remain 
ﬁt for purpose 
the group risk committee grc is a 
management committee constituted as the 
principal executive forum for the review of 
enterprise project and investment risks in 
accordance with the da approved by the 
board the grc reviews all material new 
business opportunities and projects including 
bid submissions country entry joint ventures 
investments acquisitions and disposals and 
is responsible for making recommendations 
as to the management and mitigation of risk 
exposure and recommending the proposal 
for approval by the board or the relevant 
executive the grc is responsible for the 
assurance of the erm framework agreed by 
the board including the approval of group

management policies and procedures and 
produces its own risk register each business 
service line’s management team meets 
regularly and monitors these risks as a 
matter of course notes any risk assessment 
change and seeks to take appropriate 
mitigating action 
code of conduct and 
whistleblowing
our code of conduct was relaunched in 
2013 all reported breaches of the code 
are reviewed and assessed by our group 
head of compliance to determine what 
further investigation is warranted and to 
ensure that appropriate action is taken 
the committee receives details of the 
issues reported together with the action 
being taken any alleged breaches relating 
to ﬁnancial compliance are dealt with by 
the audit committee further details of our 
code including our whistleblowing facility 
are provided on page 57  
security
petrofac’s security department enhanced its 
intelligence capability during 2013 in light of 
the ﬂuid nature of the security environment 
across the middle east and north africa 
mena region as detailed further on page 
56 this helps to provide assurance to the 
committee that the group is kept informed 
of any changes in our core market place 
and that appropriate protective measures 
are taken to reinforce the message of a 
safe and secure environment for all our staff 
and assets a global roadshow is planned 
for 2014 to promote ‘security awareness’ 
across the group in addition in light of the 
incident report ﬁndings from the in amenas 
attack in algeria which took place in 
january 2013 our contingency planning for 
securityled evacuations and other security 
emergencies have been and continue to be 
further enhanced 
information technology security
following a global assessment of potential 
information technology threats and external 
cybersecurity threats the company decided 
to embark on a programme to reinforce our 
it resilience arrangements sustainability 
survivability and security our aim is to 
respond effectively to any farreaching 
systems failure controls are being deployed 
through a new it strategy including security 
of regional data centres use of enterprise 
applications a common desktop environment 
network optimisation and security of critical 
applications this topic currently being 
monitored directly by the board may form 
part of the committee’s agenda in 2014
business continuity management 
petrofac has hub ofﬁces in sharjah aberdeen 
mumbai chennai london woking and kuala 
lumpur which all have business continuity 
management and disaster recovery plans 
in place testing of the plans has been 
completed for a number of these ofﬁces 
as a result of recent growth in the region 
business impact analysis is being updated 
in singapore jakarta and kuala lumpur 
more recently petrofac training services 
became the ﬁrst emergency response 
provider in aberdeen to receive the iso 
22301 accreditation for its business continuity 
structure of the emergency response 
service centre
insurance
given the recent changes in the scale and 
nature of the group’s activities petrofac made 
a signiﬁcant step towards its aim of global 
policy coverage in 2013 by placing its global 
insurance programme with zurich this move 
comes after aon was appointed as the 
group’s insurance broker and adviser in 2012 
following a commitment to the committee 
a number of claims scenario workshops 
were carried out with each division in 2013 
the principal objective being to provide 
assurance that the group’s insurance 
arrangements remain ‘ﬁt for purpose’ given 
the growth in the scope and scale of its 
activities and that the insurance programme 
will respond as expected in the event of a loss 
policy limits and policy wordings are reviewed 
each year at programme renewal

thomas thune andersen
chairman of the remuneration committee dear shareholder
as chairman of petrofac’s remuneration 
committee i am pleased to present our 2013 
directors’ remuneration report
2013 performance and 
remuneration outcomes
in determining remuneration outcomes 
for 2013 the committee has sought to 
ensure that the decisions taken are fair 
and fully representative of our performance 
during 2013 our policy is to set stretching 
performance targets which require the 
delivery of outstanding performance for 
signiﬁcant payouts to be achieved since our 
ipo in 2005 our ﬁnancial performance has 
been strong with returns to shareholders 
substantially exceeding those in the majority 
of our peers and this has been reﬂected 
in the strong payouts under our variable 
incentive plans this year maintaining these 
high growth levels has been tougher to 
achieve and therefore remuneration has 
been adjusted accordingly 
2013 saw a number of important successes 
we delivered four major projects two in 
abu dhabi and one each in turkmenistan 
and algeria we also continued to build 
and strengthen our capabilities in new 
geographies particularly the north sea and 
iraq as a result at the end of 2013 backlog 
is at a record level of us150 billion and our 
ability to deliver our strategy over the next few 
years is in good shape
nevertheless 2013 has not been without its 
challenges for both our company and the 
sector overall we achieved modest growth in 
net proﬁt in 2013 we generally delivered good 
operational performance although we did not 
meet our own expectations in all respects 
in particular there were three fatalities during 
the year two in turkmenistan and one in 
algeria additionally some operational targets 
were missed due to delivery of some projects 
falling behind our high expectations 
all of the above factors were taken into 
account when the committee determined 
annual bonuses as a result 2013 cash 
bonuses for the continuing executive directors 
were around 60 of maximum which is down 
on previous years’ outcomes
our tsr and eps performance from 2011 to 
2013 was such that the 2011 performance 
share plan psp awards are due to vest at 
12 of maximum reﬂecting the stretching 
targets which the committee attaches to our 
variable pay arrangements
2014 proposals
we believe that our existing remuneration 
framework continues to be appropriate for 
petrofac and remains ﬁt for purpose and 
therefore no major changes to the structure 
are proposed for 2014
there have been moderate increases to 
executive directors’ salaries for 2014 in 
line with those of the wider workforce in 
the relevant geographies there has been 
no increase in the level of cash allowances 
paid in lieu of car allowances and pension 
contributions for ukbased executive 
directors for 2014 a modest adjustment 
has been made to our uaebased executive 
director’s cash allowance for 2014 to reﬂect 
general increases in the cost of living in 
the uae 
we have also taken the opportunity to review 
the performance targets under the psp 
to ensure that they remain appropriately 
stretching in light of our strategic priorities and 
earnings expectations we consider that the 
tsr performance target remains appropriate 
and are proposing no change to this measure 
however taking into account internal and 
external forecasts for performance over the 
next threeyear period we are repositioning 
the eps performance targets given the 
maturity and increased size of the company 
we have sought to strike a balance between 
setting eps targets which are appropriately 
stretching whilst ensuring that they do 
not drive unacceptable levels of risk and 
encourage inappropriate behaviours
three of our share incentive plans the psp  
the deferred bonus share plan dbsp and 
the share incentive plan sip were each 
introduced at ipo in 2005 and we are taking 
the opportunity to submit these plans for 
renewal at the 2014 agm the psp remains 
our sole longterm vehicle for incentivising 
executive directors and senior management 
the dbsp is our key share plan for 
below board participants with over 3200 
participants and under our policy executive 
directors cannot participate in the dbsp  
the sip is an all employee share incentive 
plan for uk employees approved and 
operated in accordance with uk hm revenue 
and customs 
in recognition of best practice we are 
proposing this year to incorporate malus 
and clawback provisions into the psp and 
dbsp rules so that the committee may 
reduce or cancel awards under certain 
deﬁned circumstances in addition in order 
to bring the plan approval timescale in line 
with our remuneration policy these plans 
will be submitted for shareholder approval 
at the agm in 2014 the sip rules are being 
updated to reﬂect recent regulatory changes 
other than this the terms of the plans 
are unchanged
new remuneration reporting 
regulations
we fully support the focus on transparency 
which is the cornerstone of the new 
uk remuneration reporting regulations 
these came into force on 1 october 2013 
and are applicable to ukincorporated 
companies listed on the london stock 
exchange as a jerseyincorporated 
company petrofac is not subject to these 
regulations nevertheless the committee 
recognises the importance of effective 
corporate governance and is ﬁrmly committed 
to best practice we have therefore structured 
this year’s report to reﬂect the new regulations 
and are submitting our policy report and 
annual report on remuneration for two 
separate advisory shareholder votes 
we have also provided a summary of our 
remuneration framework changes for 
2014 our performance during 2013 and 
how this aligned with our remuneration 
outcomes overleaf
we hope that you ﬁnd the approach we have 
taken clear and transparent the committee 
values all feedback from shareholders 
and hopes to receive your support at the 
forthcoming agm

our remuneration principles
the committee aims to establish a level of remuneration which
 is sufﬁcient to retain attract and motivate executive directors and key executives of the calibre required to achieve the group’s objectives whilst 
paying no more than necessary and
 reﬂects the size complexity and international scope of the group’s business together with an executive’s individual contribution and 
geographical location
under our remuneration policy
 base salaries are generally median or below against a relevant benchmarking group
 variable elements of remuneration are structured so that individuals can achieve upper quartile total remuneration subject to achievement of 
challenging performance standards
this remuneration policy has remained unchanged since 2007 and the committee considers that it remains ﬁt for purpose and ensures that 
executive directors and senior managers are incentivised to deliver the group’s strategic goals and longterm shareholder value

policy report
the following section sets out our directors’ remuneration policy the ‘policy’ this policy will be put forward for shareholder approval at the 2014 
agm and will apply to payments made on or after 15 may 2014
as a jerseyincorporated company petrofac does not have the beneﬁt of the statutory protections afforded by the uk companies act 2006 
in relation to the new reporting regime accordingly if there is any inconsistency between the company’s policy report as approved by 
shareholders and any contractual entitlement or other right of a director the company may be obliged to honour that existing entitlement or right 
formal legal advice taken during the year afﬁrms that it would not be practical for us to submit our policy report for a binding shareholder vote 
in the manner of a ukincorporated company we are therefore submitting our policy report and our annual report on remuneration as two 
separate advisory votes at the 2014 agm
further details regarding the operation of the policy can be found on pages 105 to 111 of this report

core element of 
remuneration paid for 
doing the expected

 the committee takes into consideration a number 
of factors when setting salaries including but not 
limited to
 – size and scope of the 
individual’s responsibilities
 – the individual’s skills experience 
and performance
 – typical salary levels for comparable roles within 
appropriate pay comparators and
 – pay and conditions elsewhere in the group
 basic salaries are normally reviewed at the 
beginning of each year with any change usually 
being effective from 1 january
 whilst there is no maximum salary level any 
increases will normally be broadly in line with the 
wider employee population within the relevant 
geographic area
 higher increases may be made under certain 
circumstances at the committee’s discretion 
for example this may include
 – increase in the scope andor responsibility of the 
individual’s role and
 – development of the individual within the role
 in addition where an executive director has 
been appointed to the board at a lower than 
typical salary larger increases may be awarded 
to move them closer to market practice as their 
experience develops

competitive beneﬁts
 ukbased executive directors receive beneﬁts 
which typically may include but are not limited to 
private health insurance for the executive director 
and his family life assurance and longterm 
disability insurance
 uaebased executive directors receive similar 
beneﬁts to ukresident executive directors and in 
addition receive other typical expatriate beneﬁts 
which may include but are not limited to children’s 
education return ﬂights to their permanent home 
and appropriate insurance arrangements
 where executive directors are required to relocate 
the committee may offer additional expatriate 
beneﬁts if considered appropriate
 ukbased executive directors are also eligible to 
participate in any taxapproved all employee share 
plans operated by the company on the same basis 
as other eligible employees petrofac currently 
operates a share incentive plan in the uk
 whilst no maximum level of beneﬁts is prescribed 
they are generally set at an appropriate market 
competitive level taking into account a number of 
factors which may include
 – the jurisdiction in which the individual is based
 – the level of beneﬁts provided for other employees 
within the group and
 – market practice for comparable roles within 
appropriate pay comparators
 the committee keeps the beneﬁt policy and beneﬁt

intended to be broadly market typical for role and 
geographic location
 the levels of cash allowance provided are kept under

order to satisfy this indemnity when it falls due
 the statutory payment is based on the individual’s 
number of years of service and salary level at the time 
of their departure

offers participation in the uk pension plan to its 
ukbased executive directors however both 
current ukbased executive directors chose 
to opt out of these arrangements and as such 
continue to receive a cash allowance in lieu of 
pension provision
 although both current ukbased executive directors 
have opted to receive a cash allowance in lieu of 
pension provision this position is kept under review
 as the committee would want to conduct a thorough 
review prior to executive directors joining a group 
pension arrangement it would not be appropriate to 
provide a maximum level of pension provision at this

would typically be dependent on seniority the cost

 the precise bonus targets are set by the 
committee each year taking into account a 
number of internal and external reference points 
including the company’s key strategic objectives 
for the year
 when setting these targets the committee 
ensures that they are appropriately stretching in 
the context of the business plan and that there 
is an appropriate balance between incentivising 
executive directors to meet ﬁnancial targets for 
the year and to deliver speciﬁc nonﬁnancial 
strategic operational and personal goals 
this balance allows the committee to effectively 
reward performance against the key elements of 
our strategy
 measures used typically include but are not 
limited to
 – hse and integrity measures
 – ﬁnancial measures
 – group andor business service line strategic 
and operational performance measures and
 – peoplerelated measures
 normally each of these measures will have a 
broadly equal weighting but the committee will 
keep this under review on an annual basis
 typically 30 of the maximum opportunity 
is paid for ‘threshold’ performance ie 
the minimum level of performance which results 
in a payment

 award levels are determined by reference to

 vesting of awards is dependent on achievement of 
stretching threeyear performance targets
 at vesting the committee considers if the 
company’s tsr is a genuine reﬂection of the 
underlying company performance and may 
reduce or cancel the portion of award subject to 
tsr if it considers it appropriate
 awards are normally made in the form of 
conditional share awards but may be awarded in 
other forms if appropriate such as nil cost options 
awards may also be satisﬁed in cash
 additional shares are accrued in lieu of dividends 
and paid on any shares which vest
 the committee may adjust or amend the terms of 
the awards in accordance with the plan rules
 the psp rules are due to expire in 2015 
new rules however will be submitted for 
shareholder approval at the 2014 agm subject to 
these rules being approved all psp awards from 
the date of the agm onwards will incorporate 
malus and clawback provisions such that the 
committee may reduce or cancel unvested awards 
or require repayment of amounts already paid out 
at any time up to the second anniversary of the 
vesting date of the relevant award in a number of 
speciﬁc circumstances including
 – material misstatement of ﬁnancial results
 – material failure of risk management
 – material breach of any relevant health and 
safety or environment regulations and
 – serious reputational damage to the company 
or any group member
 the maximum 
award that can be 
granted in respect 
of a ﬁnancial year of 
the company under 
the psp is 200 of 
basic salary or in 
circumstances which 
the committee 
deems to be 
exceptional awards 
up to 300 of 
base salary can 
be granted
 awards vest based on threeyear performance 
against a combination of ﬁnancial and share price 
performance measures
 the ultimate goal of the company’s strategy 
is to provide longterm sustainable returns to 
shareholders the committee strives to do this 
by aligning the performance measures under the 
psp with the longterm strategy of the company 
and considers that strong performance under 
the chosen measures should result in sustainable 
value creation
 – ﬁnancial measure – to reﬂect the ﬁnancial 
performance of our business and a 
direct and focused measure of company 
success the committee sets targets to 
be appropriately stretching with regard 
to a number of internal and external 
reference points
 – share price performance measure –  
a measure of the ultimate delivery of 
shareholder returns this promotes alignment 
between executive director reward and the 
shareholder experience targets are set 
with reference to wider market practice and 
positioned at a level which the committee 
considers represent stretching performance
 normally the weighting would be split equally 
across these two measures
 for ‘threshold’ levels of performance under 
the ﬁnancial performance measure 0 of the 
award vests increasing to 100 of the award for 
maximum performance
 for ‘threshold’ levels of performance under the 
share price performance measure 30 of the 
award vests increasing to 100 of the award for 
maximum performance
 the committee sets targets each year 
achievement of which it considers would 
represent stretching performance in the context 
of the business plan
 the committee may amend the performance

happen which cause the committee to consider 
that it fails to fulﬁl its original purpose and would 
not be materially less difﬁcult to secure

99 notes to the policy table
legacy matters
the committee can make remuneration payments and payments for 
loss of ofﬁce outside of the policy set out above where the terms of 
the payment were agreed before the policy came into effect or at a 
time when the relevant individual was not a director of the company 
provided that in the opinion of the committee the payment was not in 
consideration for the individual becoming a director of the company 
this includes the exercise of any discretion available to the committee 
in connection with such payments
for these purposes payments include the committee satisfying 
awards of variable remuneration and in relation to an award over 
shares the terms of the payment are agreed at the time the award 
is granted
outstanding share awards under the value creation plan vcp were 
granted prior to 27 june 2012 under the rules of that plan approved 
by shareholders on 11 may 2012 no further awards can be made after 
11 may 2014 outstanding awards are set out in the annual report on 
remuneration if the stretching performance conditions are satisﬁed 
awards under the vcp would vest in 2016 2017 and 2018
remuneration arrangements throughout the company
the remuneration policy for our executive directors is designed in 
line with the remuneration philosophy and principles that underpin 
remuneration for the wider group all our reward arrangements are 
built around the common objectives and principles outlined below
 performance driven – the company intentionally places 
signiﬁcant focus on variable remuneration ensuring that a 
meaningful proportion of remuneration is based on performance 
performance targets are typically aligned with those of the executive 
directors as a result individuals are incentivised towards consistent 
ﬁnancial and nonﬁnancial business goals and objectives in addition 
to appropriate individual goals
 employees as shareholders – a substantial number of employees 
participate in our various share incentive plans as a result of 
this participation as well as those shares owned and purchased 
by employees prior to and since ipo petrofac is proud of the 
signiﬁcant levels of employee share ownership within the company 
we consider that this is one of the key drivers of performance 
throughout the business

relevant role
 neds receive a basic annual fee paid quarterly in 
respect of their board duties 
 further fees are paid to neds in respect of 
chairmanship of board committees no fees are 
paid for membership of a board committee
 the nonexecutive chairman receives an all
inclusive fee for the role
 the remuneration of the nonexecutive chairman 
is set by the remuneration committee
 the board as a whole is responsible for 
determining ned fees these fees are the sole 
element of ned remuneration neds are not 
eligible for annual bonus share incentives 
pensions or other beneﬁts
 fees are typically reviewed annually
 expenses incurred in the performance of duties 
for the company may be reimbursed or paid for 
directly by the company as appropriate including 
any tax due on the payments
 current fee levels can be found in the annual 
report on remuneration on page 112 
 fees are set at a level which is considered 
appropriate to attract and retain the calibre of 
individual required by the company
 fee levels are normally set by reference to the 
level of fees paid to neds serving on boards of 
similarlysized uklisted companies and the size 
responsibility and time commitment required of 
the role
 the company’s articles of association provide 
that the total aggregate remuneration paid to the 
chairman and neds will be within the limits set by 
shareholders the current aggregate limit of £1m

governance
directors’ remuneration report continued recruitment policy
in determining remuneration arrangements for new appointments to 
the board including internal promotions or interim appointments the 
committee applies the following principles
 the committee takes into consideration all relevant factors 
including the calibre of the individual local market practice existing 
arrangements for other executive directors pay relativities and 
market positioning
 typically the new appointment will have or be transitioned onto 
the same policy framework as the other executive directors as 
outlined above
 upon appointment the committee may only offer additional 
remuneration arrangements if it is considered essential to do so in 
order to secure the appointment
 the committee commits to explaining the rationale for the relevant 
arrangements to shareholders in the remuneration report following 
any appointment
 the committee may also consider providing additional beneﬁts to 
expatriate appointments where appropriate and 
 the committee will have regard to the best interests of both 
petrofac and its shareholders and is conscious of the need to pay 
no more than is necessary particularly when determining buy
out arrangements
to facilitate recruitment the committee may make a oneoff award to 
’buy out’ incentives and any other remuneration opportunities in doing 
so the committee will take account of relevant factors including any 
performance conditions attached to any forfeited incentive awards 
the likelihood of those conditions being met the proportion of the 
vestingperformance period remaining and the form of the award 
eg cash or shares
the committee may grant awards to a new executive director under 
the provision in the fca listing rules which allows for the granting 
of awards speciﬁcally to facilitate in unusual circumstances the 
recruitment of an executive director without seeking prior shareholder 
approval in doing so it will comply with the provisions in force at the 
date of this report
where an executive is appointed from within the organisation the 
company will honour legacy arrangements in line with the original 
terms and conditions
in the event of the appointment of a new nonexecutive director 
remuneration arrangements will normally be in line with those detailed 
in the relevant table opposite 
executive director service contracts
the key employment terms and other conditions of the current executive directors as stipulated in their service contracts are set out below
provision policy
notice period 12 months’ notice by either the company or the executive director no ﬁxed expiry date
termination payment the company may terminate employment by making a payment in lieu of notice equivalent to the value of base 
salary and beneﬁts in respect of the notice period 
 the company would normally expect executive directors to mitigate any loss upon their departure
remuneration and beneﬁts participation in the incentive plans including the annual bonus and the psp  is noncontractual
policy on payment for loss of ofﬁce
the committee takes a number of factors into account when 
determining leaving arrangements for an executive director
 the committee must satisfy any contractual obligations agreed 
with the executive director as a nonuk incorporated company 
without the beneﬁt of the statutory protections afforded by the uk 
companies act we would be obliged to honour any contractual 
entitlement or other right of an executive director even if it were 
inconsistent with our policy report
 individuals will not normally be eligible to receive an annual bonus 
if on the date the bonus is paid they are no longer employed by 
the group or have submitted their notice or are under notice of 
termination of employment or on garden leave where an individual 
is considered by the committee to be a ‘good leaver’ in exceptional 
circumstances it may consider the individual eligible for a time pro
rated annual bonus subject to business and individual performance
 other payments such as legal fees and outplacement fees may be 
paid if it is considered appropriate

illustration of the remuneration policy
petrofac’s remuneration arrangements have been designed to ensure that a signiﬁcant proportion of pay is dependent on the delivery of stretching 
shortterm and longterm performance targets aligned with the creation of sustainable shareholder value the committee considers the level of 
remuneration that may be received under different performance outcomes to ensure that this is appropriate in the context of the performance 
delivered and the value added for shareholders
the charts on page 104 provide illustrative values of the remuneration package in 2014 for executive directors under three assumed 
performance scenarios
assumed performance assumptions used

all performance scenarios consists of total ﬁxed pay including base salary beneﬁts and cash allowance

103 consideration of conditions elsewhere 
in the company
when determining remuneration arrangements for executive directors 
the committee considers as a matter of course the pay and conditions 
of employees throughout the group in particular the committee pays 
speciﬁc attention to the general level of salary increases and the size 
of the annual bonus pool within the wider population with particular 
reference to the yearonyear change in these ﬁgures
whilst the committee does not directly consult with our employees as 
part of the process of determining executive pay the committee does 
receive feedback from employee surveys and takes this into account 
when reviewing executive pay in addition a signiﬁcant number of our 
employees are shareholders and so are able to express their views in 
the same way as other shareholders
consideration of shareholder views
the company places great emphasis on our strong relationship 
with shareholders and recognises the importance of clear and 
full consultation on all aspects of remuneration and governance 
at petrofac 
in reviewing our approach to directors’ remuneration reporting this year 
and our forwardlooking remuneration policy we maintained a dialogue 
with our major shareholders and took their views into account
the committee continues to monitor shareholder views when 
evaluating and setting ongoing remuneration strategy and we commit 
to consulting with major shareholders prior to any signiﬁcant changes 
to our remuneration policy
minor amendments
the committee may make minor amendments to the policy set out 
above for regulatory exchange control tax or administrative purposes 
or to take account of a change in legislation without obtaining 
shareholder approval for that amendment
availability of documentation
service contracts and letters of appointment for all directors are 
available for inspection by any person at our registered ofﬁce in jersey 
and at our corporate services ofﬁce in london they will also be 
available for inspection during the 30 minutes prior to the start of our 
agm to be held in london in may 2014

at the start of the year the committee determined whether to award 
each executive director a cash bonus in respect of 2013 in doing 
so the committee considered the extent of achievement by each 
executive director against their balanced scorecard measures set 
by reference to the group’s corporate plan and took into account 
the company’s ﬁnancial performance and personal objectives 
the balanced scorecard is used as a framework for the committee to 
use its judgement to determine bonuses for each executive director on 
a discretionary basis and does not provide a formulaic outturn
these targets are designed to be stretching and drive performance 
and delivery of the group’s strategic aims 
the measures include
 hse and integrity measures
 ﬁnancial performance including net income total revenue order 
intake cash ﬂow targets backlog and costs
 group and where relevant business service line strategic and 
operational performance measures and
 peoplerelated measures 
in addition some executive directors have targets related to 
succession planning risk management and speciﬁc capability 
measures in this way the committee considers that it has an incentive 
structure for senior management that promotes responsible behaviour 
the bonuses awarded to executive directors in respect of 2013 
recognise that on the whole our performance against our strategic 
and growth targets was good with achievement of a number of 
key strategic and operational milestones our programme to drive 
capability within the group was also delivered well placing us on a ﬁrm 
footing for future growth
in terms of ﬁnancial results we achieved modest growth in net proﬁt 
in 2013 and there was also continued growth in our backlog which 
ended the year at a record high of us150 billion
set against this however the committee recognises that there were 
three fatalities during 2013 in addition performance against some 
ﬁnancial metrics whilst still good did not fully meet our stretching 
expectations and some of our operational targets were not met in 
all respects 
taking all these factors into account the committee used its 
judgement to set bonuses in the context of our overall performance 
the signiﬁcant reduction in outturn from 2012 reﬂects both the 
stretching targets which we set at the beginning of the year and missed 
expectations in some areas
at this stage the committee considers that the goals within the 
balanced scorecard remain commercially sensitive we always seek 
to be as transparent as possible with shareholders as such we 
will continue to keep the disclosure of our performance framework 
under review so that we can respond to developing best practice 
and provide shareholders with as much context as possible within 
commercial constraints

payments for loss of ofﬁce
after more than 22 years’ invaluable service maroun semaan who is one of the founders and major shareholders of the company retired from 
the group on 31 december 2013 he stepped down from the board at the same time mr semaan received his base salary beneﬁts and cash 
allowance up until that date as mr semaan is a ‘good leaver’ the committee determined he should receive an annual bonus payment for the 
achievement of his speciﬁc objectives in addition under the rules of the performance share plan all outstanding longterm incentive awards 
that he holds under the performance share plan will vest on a timeapportioned basis subject to their existing timescales and satisfaction of 
the applicable performance conditions as required under the provisions of uae labour law mr semaan received an end of service indemnity 
payment of us1034000 other than this statutory requirement he did not receive any payment for loss of ofﬁce
andy inglis will cease to be an executive director of the company on 28 february 2014 mr inglis will receive his base salary beneﬁts and cash 
allowance for 2013 and for the period of 2014 up until that date mr inglis did not receive an annual bonus in respect of 2013 and will not be 
considered for an annual bonus in respect of 2014 all outstanding longterm incentive awards he holds under the performance share plan have 
lapsed as mr inglis had given notice of his termination of employment to the company prior to the ﬁnal tranche of his 2011 rsp award vesting

107 statement of directors’ shareholding and share interests
directors’ shareholdings at 31 december 2013 and share ownership guidelines
following discussions with shareholders in relation to the vcp in 2012 the committee introduced a shareholding requirement of 300 of base 
salary for those executive directors participating in the plan neither ayman asfari nor maroun semaan were participants in the vcp and were 
therefore not subject to a formal shareholding requirement in any event as founders these two individuals already had substantial shareholding 
interests in the company signiﬁcantly in excess of the required levels
until the relevant shareholding guidelines have been met executive directors are encouraged to retain vested shares earned under the 
company’s incentive plans unvested share awards are not taken into account when considering an executive director’s progress towards 
the shareholding requirements 
current shareholding requirements and the number of shares held by directors at 31 december 2013 are set out in the table below

1  the award amounts disclosed under the psp are the maximum number that may vest if all performance conditions attached to the awards are satisﬁed in full
2  dividends awarded on shares granted under the share plans are reinvested to purchase further shares
3  the performance conditions for the may 2010 psp award were satisﬁed and the award vested in full on 16 may 2013 when the closing share price was 1325p
4 following maroun semaan’s retirement on 31 december 2013 the psp awards detailed have been scaled back proportionally to reﬂect the number of shares that he was entitled to as at 31 december 
2013 these awards will be released on the original vesting dates to the extent that the original performance conditions attached to each award are met
5  following his appointment to the board on 19 january 2012 no further awards have been made to marwan chedid under the dbsp on 16 may 2013 his 2010 dbsp award vested in full and a third of 
his 2011 dbsp award vested the closing share price on 16 may 2013 was 1325p mr chedid’s ﬁnal tranche of dbsp awards will vest in march 2014
6  shares awarded on 19 march 2011 have partially satisﬁed performance conditions and therefore 12 of the maximum award levels will vest on 19 march 2014 based on a share price of 1368 pence 
which is the closing share price on 24 february 2014 being the latest practicable date prior to the adoption of this report by the committee the value of the awards made to executive directors on 
19 march 2014 would be as follows ayman asfari £184872 maroun semaan £79276 and marwan chedid £35376
7  shares awarded under the rsp on 5 january 2011 and 6 september 2011 are not subject to performance conditions and will vest subject inter alia to continued employment in equal annual tranches 
over three years from the date of grant in accordance with the share scheme rules and the company’s share dealing code requirements
8  these shares were originally due to vest under the rsp on 5 january 2013 but were delayed as a result of the company being unable to deal at that time these shares vested on 16 may 2013 when 
the closing share price was 1325p
9  these shares will lapse on 28 february 2014 when andy inglis ceases to be an executive director of the company

the chart below illustrates the change in total remuneration dividends paid and net proﬁt from 2012 to 2013
the ﬁgures presented have been calculated on the following bases
 dividends – dividends paid in respect of the ﬁnancial year 
 net proﬁt – our reported net proﬁt in respect of the ﬁnancial year this is a key performance indicator for the company the committee 
therefore believes it is the most direct reﬂection of our underlying ﬁnancial performance
 total remuneration – represents total salaries paid to all company employees in respect of the ﬁnancial year see page 136 of the report 
for an explanation as to how this value is calculated note that this excludes social security costs beneﬁt and pension costs and sharebased

implementation of remuneration policy in 2014
this section provides an overview of how the committee is proposing 
to implement our remuneration policy in 2014
base salary
in determining salary increases for 2014 the committee took into 
account a number of factors including the level of salary increases in 
the wider workforce internal and external positioning and the general 
economic climate
the committee has agreed salary increases of between 3 and 5 
for ukbased executive directors with effect from 1 january 2014 
for marwan chedid a uaebased executive director the salary 
increase is 5 all increases are in line with the wider employee 
population in the relevant local market
the table below shows base salaries for 2014
2014 basic 
salary
2013  
basic salary
ayman asfari £650000 £632000
marwan chedid us605000 us575000
tim weller £460000 £440000
beneﬁts
the committee sets beneﬁts in line with the policy set out on page 96 
there are no changes proposed to the beneﬁt framework in 2014
cash allowance in lieu of pension and car allowance
the levels of cash allowance provided are intended to be broadly 
market typical for role and geographic location although current levels 
are below median
no increase in cash allowance is proposed for ukbased executive 
directors in 2014 the cash allowance for marwan chedid a uae
based executive director has been increased by us10000 with 
effect from 2014 to reﬂect an increase in the general cost of living in 
the uae
the table below shows cash allowances for 2014

ayman asfari £70000 £70000
marwan chedid us230000 us220000
tim weller £70000 £70000
annual bonus
the maximum annual bonus opportunity for executive directors will 
remain at 200 of base salary in 2014
no change is proposed to the annual bonus framework that applied in 
2013 as outlined on pages 98 and 106 at this stage the committee 
considers that the exact annual bonus targets remain commercially 
sensitive in next year’s annual report we commit to providing 
shareholders with as much context as possible on performance 
against those targets and the resulting bonus outturn rationale 
within commercial constraints
performance share plan
the operating maximum psp award for executive directors will remain 
at 200 of base salary in 2014 
proposed 2014 awards to be granted to executive directors have been 
set by reference to individual performance during 2013 the following 
table sets out the proposed 2014 psp awards for executive directors
2014 psp

2014 psp 
award as  
of maximum
ayman asfari 1 77 91
marwan chedid 1 82 91
tim weller 174 87
50 of the 2014 psp award will be subject to a tsr performance 
condition over a threeyear period requiring petrofac to outperform 
an index of sectoral peers the peer group to be used for this award is 
the same as outlined on page 106 with maire tecnimont replaced by 
baker hughes the tsr outperformance requirements and associated 
vesting schedule remain the same
the remaining 50 of the 2014 psp award will be subject to an eps 
performance condition over the same threeyear period 
the committee reviewed targets in early 2014 by reference to a 
number of internal and external reference points to ensure that they are 
positioned at a level which it considers appropriate and stretching in 
the context of the business strategy and earnings expectations for the 
next three years whilst ensuring that they do not drive unacceptable 
levels of risk and encourage inappropriate behaviours 
as a result the eps targets have been repositioned for the 2014 
awards as follows
eps growth per annum
percentage of 
eps element 
vesting
7 5 or less 0
10 30
15 or more 100

governance
the board and the committee consider that throughout 2013 and 
up to the date of this report the company has complied with the 
provisions of the uk corporate governance code relating to directors’ 
remuneration in addition the guidelines issued by the association of 
british insurers abi and the national association of pension funds 
napf have been noted the company also took the opportunity 
to respond to the gc100 working group consultation on the new 
remuneration reporting regulations
the committee considers executive remuneration matters in 
the context of alignment with risk management all members of 
the committee are also members of the board risk committee 
this allows them to provide oversight on any group risk factors 
relating to remuneration matters the committee believes that the 
remuneration arrangements in place do not raise health and safety 
environmental social or ethical issues nor inadvertently motivate 
irresponsible behaviour

113 directors’ responsibilities
the directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the 
ﬁnancial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations 
the directors have chosen to prepare the ﬁnancial statements in 
accordance with international financial reporting standards ifrs 
the directors are also responsible for the preparation of the directors’ 
remuneration report which they have chosen to prepare being 
under no obligation to do so under jersey law the directors are also 
responsible for the preparation of the corporate governance report 
under the listing rules
jersey company law the ‘law’ requires the directors to prepare 
ﬁnancial statements for each ﬁnancial period in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles the ﬁnancial statements 
are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of 
the company at the period end and the proﬁt or loss of the company 
for the period then ended in preparing these ﬁnancial statements the 
directors should



adopted in their preparation

inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business
the directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records 
which are sufﬁcient to show and explain the company’s transactions 
and as such as to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the 
ﬁnancial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the 
ﬁnancial statements prepared by the company comply with the law 
they are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and 
company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and 
detection of fraud and other irregularities
the directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of 
the corporate and ﬁnancial information included on the company’s 
website legislation in jersey governing the preparation and 
dissemination of ﬁnancial statements may differ from legislation in 
other jurisdictions
directors’ approach
the board’s objective is to present a fair balanced and understandable 
assessment of the company’s position and prospects particularly 
in the annual report half year report formerly the interim report and 
other published documents and reports to regulators the board has 
established an audit committee to assist with this obligation 
going concern
the company’s business activities together with the factors likely to 
affect its future development performance and position are set out 
in the strategic report on pages 1 to 65 the ﬁnancial position of the 
company its cash ﬂows liquidity position and borrowing facilities are 
described in the ﬁnancial review on pages 47 to 49 in addition note 29 
to the ﬁnancial statements include the company’s objectives policies 
and processes for managing its capital its ﬁnancial risk management 
objectives details of its ﬁnancial instruments and hedging activities and 
its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk
the company has considerable ﬁnancial resources together with 
longterm contracts with a number of customers and suppliers 
across different geographic areas and industries as a consequence 
the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage 
its business risks successfully the directors have a reasonable 
expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in 
operational existence for the foreseeable future thus they continue to 
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual 
ﬁnancial statements
responsibility statement under the disclosure and 
transparency rules
each of the directors listed on pages 68 and 69 conﬁrms that to the 
best of their knowledge

and understandable and provides the information necessary for 
shareholders to assess the company’s performance business 
model and strategy 

true and fair view of the assets liabilities ﬁnancial position and proﬁt 
of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation 
taken as a whole and
 view of the development and performance of the business and 
the position of the company and the undertakings included in the 
consolidation taken as a whole together with a description of the 
principal risks and uncertainties that they face

in our opinion the group financial statements 
 give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s affairs as at 
31 december 2013 and of its profit for the year then ended 
 have been properly prepared in accordance with international 
financial reporting standards and  
 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
companies jersey law 1991 
what we have audited 
we have audited the group financial statements of petrofac limited 
for the year ended 31 december 2013 which comprise the 
consolidated income statement the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income the consolidated statement of financial 
position the consolidated statement of cash flows the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related notes 
1 to 30 the financial reporting framework that has been applied in 
their preparation is applicable law and international financial 
reporting standards 
this report is made solely to the company’s members as a body in 
accordance with article 113a of the companies jersey law 1991 
and our renewed engagement letter dated 19 february 2014 our 
audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 
company’s members those matters we are required to state to them 
in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose to the fullest extent 
permitted by law we do not accept or assume responsibility to 
anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a 
body for our audit work for this report or for the opinions we have 
formed  
respective responsibilities of directors and auditor 
as explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement 
set out on page 114 the directors are responsible for the 
preparation of the group financial statements and for being satisfied 
that they give a true and fair view  
our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the group 
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 
international standards on auditing uk and ireland those 
standards require us to comply with the auditing practices board’s 
ethical standards for auditors 
in addition the company has also instructed us to 
 report as to whether the information given in the corporate 
governance statement with respect to internal control and risk 
management systems in relation to financial reporting processes 
and about share capital structures is consistent with the financial 
statements  
 review the directors’ statement in relation to going concern as set 
out on page 114 which for a premium listed uk incorporated 
company is specified for review by the listing rules of the 
financial conduct authority and 
 whether the information given in the strategic report is consistent 
with the group financial statements 
scope of the audit of the financial statements 
an audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable 
assurance that the financial statements are free from material 
misstatement whether caused by fraud or error this includes an 
assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to 
the group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and 
adequately disclosed the reasonableness of significant accounting 
estimates made by the directors and the overall presentation of the 
financial statements in addition we read all the financial and non
financial information in the annual report to identify material 
inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify 
any information that is materially incorrect based on or materially 
inconsistent with the knowledge acquired by us in the course of 
performing the audit if we become aware of any apparent material 
misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for 
our report 
our assessment of risks of material misstatement 
we identified the following risks of material misstatement that have 
had the greatest impact on our overall audit strategy the allocation 
of resources in the audit and directing the efforts of the 
engagement team  
 revenue recognition in respect of long term contracting 
 taxation as a result of the complexity of the group’s operations 
and the large number of jurisdictions in which the group operates 
 initial recognition and determination of subsequent accounting for 
contracts in the integrated energy services segment of the 
business and 
 consideration of potential impairment of goodwill and other 
assets 
our application of materiality  
materiality is a key part of planning and executing our audit strategy 
for the purposes of determining whether the financial statements 
are free from material misstatement we define materiality as the 
magnitude of an omission or misstatement that individually or in the 
aggregate in light of the surrounding circumstances could 
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the 
users of the financial statements 
as we developed our audit strategy we determine materiality at the 
overall level and at the individual account level performance 
materiality is the application of materiality at the individual account or 
balance level 
planning the audit solely to detect individually material 
misstatements overlooks the fact that the aggregate of individually 
immaterial misstatements may cause the financial statements to be 
materially misstated and leaves no margin for possible undetected 
misstatements performance materiality is set to reduce to an 
appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of 
uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for 
the financial statements as a whole 
we determined planning materiality for the group to be 38 million 
2012 38 million which is approximately 5 2012 5 of pretax 
profit for the year adjusted for exceptional items if applicable this 
provided a basis for determining the nature timing and extent of risk 
assessment procedures identifying and assessing the risk of 
material misstatement and determining the nature timing and extent 
of further audit procedures 
on the basis of our risk assessments together with our assessment 
of the overall control environment our judgement is that 
performance materiality was 50 2012 50 of our planning 
materiality namely 19 million 2012 19 million our objective in 
adopting this approach was to ensure that uncorrected and 
undetected audit differences in all accounts did not exceed our 
planning materiality level 
  
petrofac annual report and accounts 2013
116
financial statements  
we agreed with the audit committee that would report to them 
all uncorrected audit differences in excess of 19 million 2012 
19 million which is set at 5 of planning materiality we report 
all corrected audit differences that in our view warrant reporting on 
qualitative grounds or where the corrected difference exceeds 
performance materiality reclassification differences are reported 
to the audit committee where the difference exceeds 2 of the 
applicable primary financial statement line items 
an overview of the scope of our audit 
our group audit scope focussed on four operating locations
1
 all 
of which were subject to a full scope audit for the year ended 
31 december 2013 and were selected based on our assessment 
of the risk of material misstatement due to both size and risk an 
additional five components were selected for a specific scope audit 
where the extent of audit work was based on our assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement and of the materiality of those 
locations to the group’s business operations  
together with the group functions which were also subject to a full 
audit for the year ended 31 december 2013 these locations 
represent the principal business units of the group and account for 
82 of the group’s revenue 83 of the group’s operating profit 
and 85 of the group’s total assets audits of these locations are 
performed at a performance materiality level calculated with 
reference to a proportion of the group materiality appropriate to the 
relative scale and risk associated with each location they are also 
selected to provide a basis for undertaking audit work to address 
the risks of material misstatement identified above an additional 
two components were selected for a limited scope review which 
primarily involves inquiries of management and analytical procedures 
based on our assessment of the risk of these locations 
the group audit team follows a programme of planned site visits 
that is designed to ensure that a senior member of the team visits 
each of the four full audit scope locations at least once a year in 
2013 the group audit team including the senior engagement partner 
visited the main operating location in the united arab emirates 
during planning interim review and year end audit procedures 
a group team audit partner also visited the remaining full scope 
locations in malaysia and mexico reviewed key working papers and 
participated in the component team’s planning including the 
discussion of fraud and error the group audit team attended the 
audit closing meetings for each full audit scope component 
the way in which we responded to the risks identified above 
was as follows 
long term contractsrevenue and margin recognition 
we audited the systems in place to ensure the appropriate 
determination of the percentage completion of each significant 
contract ensuring appropriate approval from customers was 
evidenced we challenged management in respect of the 
reasonableness of judgements made regarding the cost to complete 
estimate the timing of recognition of variation orders the adequacy 
of contingency provisions to mitigate contract specific risks and their 
assessments around the potential for liquidated damages for 
projects behind schedule we consider these to be the key 
judgemental areas driving the recognition of revenue and margins in 
respect of long term contracts we also ensured that management’s 
policies and processes for making these estimates continue to be 
applied consistently  
 
accounting for taxation assets liabilities income and expenses 
we utilised tax specialists in our london team in the planning stages 
to determine which jurisdictions should be in scope as well as in the 
audit of tax balances we also involved local tax specialists in the 
relevant jurisdictions where we deemed it necessary we considered 
and challenged the tax exposures estimated by management and 
the risk analysis associated with these exposures along with claims 
or assessments made by tax authorities to date we also audited 
the calculation and disclosure of current and deferred tax to ensure 
compliance with local tax rules and the group’s accounting policies 
including the impact of complex items such as share based 
payments and the review of management’s assessment of the 
likelihood of the realisation of deferred tax balances  
initial recognition and subsequent accounting for ies contracts 
we challenged the judgements and accounting treatments made by 
management arising from the most complex contractual 
arrangements at inception for these contracts we also considered 
the underlying economic models supporting calculations and 
assumptions using valuations specialists where necessary to ensure 
that these are materially accurate and in line with the group’s 
accounting policies as well as the requirements of ifrs we 
involved internal financial reporting specialists to ensure that all 
relevant considerations have been identified and appropriately 
reflected in accounting treatments  
impairment of goodwill and other assets  
we focused on this area as it involves complex and subjective 
judgements by the directors about the future results of the 
business in evaluating whether any impairment was necessary to 
the remaining carrying value of goodwill and other assets our audit 
work involved obtaining evidence regarding its recoverable amount 
and how it compared to the amount at which the goodwill or other 
assets are currently recorded we challenged management’s 
assessment of impairment including the key inputs of the forecast 
cash flows the discount rate used the growth rate assumed and 
the historical accuracy of budgets and we used a valuation 
specialist to assist us with our consideration of the discount rate 
we also evaluated management’s sensitivity analysis and we 
confirmed that the financial statement disclosures met the 
requirements of accounting standards 
opinion on other matters 
in our opinion 
 the information given in the corporate governance statement set 
out on pages 66 to 91 in the annual report and accounts with 
respect to internal control and risk management systems in 
relation to financial reporting processes and about share capital 
structures is consistent with the financial statements 
 the information given in the strategic report is consistent with the 
group financial statements 
matters on which we are required to report by exception 
under the isas uk and ireland we are required to report to you if 
in our opinion information in the annual report is  
 materially inconsistent with the information in the audited financial 
statements or 
 apparently materially incorrect based on or materially inconsistent 
with or knowledge of the group acquired in the course of 
performing our audit or 
 otherwise misleading 
in particular we are required to consider whether we have identified 
any inconsistencies between our knowledge acquired during the 
audit and the directors’ statement that they consider the annual 
report is fair balanced and understandable and whether the annual 
report appropriately discloses those matters that we communicated 
to the audit committee which we consider should have been 
disclosed

2 summary of significant accounting policies

the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a 
historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and 
contingent consideration which have been measured at fair value 
the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements 
is united states dollars and all values in the financial statements are 
rounded to the nearest million usm except where otherwise

statement of compliance 
the consolidated financial statements of petrofac limited and its 
subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with international 
financial reporting standards ifrs and applicable requirements 
of jersey law 
restatements 
the financial performance of the group for the year ended 31 
december 2012 the financial position of the group as at 31 
december 2012 and the statement of cash flows of the group for 
the year ended 31 december 2012 have been restated by replacing 
proportionate consolidation of joint ventures with the equity method 
of accounting as a result of the application of new ifrs 11 – joint 
arrangements and amended ias 28 – investment in associates and 
joint ventures refer note 13 for details the loan extended in 
respect of development of the greater stella area of us115m was 
incorrectly classified in the cash flow statements for the year ended 
31 december 2012 the financial statements have been restated to 
reclassify the amount of the loan given by the company from 
operating activities to investing activities to correctly disclose the 
nature of the loan this restatement had no impact on the profit 
number of both the prior and the current period 
basis of consolidation 
the consolidated financial statements comprise the financial 
statements of petrofac limited and its subsidiaries the financial 
statements of its subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting 
year as the company and where necessary adjustments are made 
to the financial statements of the group’s subsidiaries to bring their 
accounting policies into line with those of the group 
control is achieved when the group is exposed or has rights to 
variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the 
ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee all 
intragroup balances and transactions including unrealised profits 
have been eliminated on consolidation 
when the group has less than a majority of the voting or similar 
rights of an investee the group considers all relevant facts and 
circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee 
including  
 the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders  
of the investee 
 rights arising from other contractual arrangements 
 the group’s voting rights and potential voting rights 
the group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts 
and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more 
of the three elements of control consolidation of a subsidiary 
begins when the group obtains control over the subsidiary and 
ceases when the group loses control of the subsidiary assets 
liabilities income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed 
of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive 
income from the date the group gains control until the date the 
group ceases to control the subsidiary 
noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries consolidated by the group 
are disclosed separately from the group’s equity and income 
statement and noncontrolling interests are allocated their share 
of total comprehensive income for the year even if this results 
in a deficit balance 
new standards and interpretations 
the group has adopted new and revised standards and 
interpretations issued by the international accounting standards 
board iasb and the international financial reporting 
interpretations committee ifric of the iasb that are relevant to its 
operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 
1 january 2013 the principal effects of the adoption of the relevant 
new and amended standards and interpretations are discussed 
below 
ias 1 – presentation of items of other comprehensive 
income amendment 
the amendments to ias 1 introduce a grouping of items presented 
in other comprehensive income oci items that could be recycled 
to the consolidated income statement at a future point in time now 
have to be presented separately from items that will never be 
recycled the amendment only affected the presentation and had 
no impact on the group’s financial position or performance 
ifrs 10 – consolidated financial statements and ias 27 – 
separate financial statements 
ifrs 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities 
including special purpose entities ifrs 10 replaces the parts of the 
previously existing ias 27 consolidated and separate financial 
statements that dealt with consolidated financial statements and 
sic 12 consolidation – special purpose entities ifrs 10 changes 
the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee 
when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the investee to meet the definition of 
control in ifrs 10 all three criteria must be met including a an 
investor has power over an investee b the investor has exposure 
or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee 
and c the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee 
to affect the amount of the investor’s returns ifrs 10 has had no 
impact on the consolidation of investments held by the group 
ifrs 11 – joint arrangements and ias 28 – investment in 
associates and joint ventures 
ifrs 11 replaces ias 31 interests in joint ventures and sic 13 
jointlycontrolled entities – nonmonetary contributions by 
venturers ifrs 11 removes the option to account for jointly 
controlled entities jces using proportionate consolidation instead 
jces that meet the definition of a joint venture under ifrs 11 must 
be accounted for using the equity method

financial statements  
 
the application of this new standard impacted the financial position 
of the group by replacing proportionate consolidation of the joint 
venture in petrofac emirates llc tte petrofac limited 
professional mechanical repair services company spie capag – 
petrofac international limited and china petroleum petrofac 
engineering services cooperatif ua with the equity method of 
accounting ifrs 11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or 
after 1 january 2013 the effect of ifrs 11 is described in more 
detail in note 13 which includes quantification of the effect on the 
financial statements 
ifrs 12 – disclosure of interests in other entities 
ifrs 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an 
entity’s interests in subsidiaries joint arrangements associates and 
structured entities the requirements in ifrs 12 are more 
comprehensive than the previously existing disclosure requirements 
for subsidiaries the group does not have subsidiaries with material 
noncontrolling interests and there are no unconsolidated structured 
entities ifrs 12 disclosures are provided in notes 13 and 30 
ifrs 13 – fair value measurement 
ifrs 13 establishes a single source of guidance under ifrs for all 
fair value measurements ifrs 13 does not change when an entity 
is required to use fair value but rather provides guidance on how to 
measure fair value under ifrs when fair value is required or 
permitted the application of ifrs 13 has not materially impacted 
the fair value measurements carried out by the group additional 
disclosures where required are provided in the individual notes 
relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were 
determined the fair value hierarchy is provided in note 15 
standards issued but not yet effective 
standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance 
of the group’s financial statements are listed below and include only 
those standards and interpretations that are likely to have an impact 
on the disclosures financial position or performance of the group 
at a future date the group intends to adopt these standards when 
they become effective 
ifrs 9 financial instruments classification 
and measurement 
ifrs 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the iasb’s work on the 
replacement of ias 39 and applies to classification and 
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in 
ias 39 in subsequent phases the iasb is addressing hedge 
accounting and impairment of financial assets the adoption of the 
first phase of ifrs 9 will have an effect on the classification and 
measurement of the group’s financial assets but will not have an 
impact on classification and measurements of the group’s financial 
liabilities the iasb decided that a mandatory date of 1 january 
2015 would not allow sufficient time for entities to prepare to apply 
the new standard because the impairment phase of the ifrs 9 
project has not yet been completed accordingly the iasb decided 
that a new date should be decided upon when the entire ifrs 9 
project is closer to completion the group will quantify the effect in 
conjunction with the other phases when the final standard including 
all phases is issued  
ias 39 novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge 
accounting – amendments to ias 39 
these amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge 
accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging 
instrument meets certain criteria these amendments are effective 
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 january 2014 the group 
has not novated its derivatives during the current period however 
these amendments would be considered for future novations 
significant accounting judgements and estimates 
judgements 
in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies 
management has made the following judgements apart from those 
involving estimations which have the most significant effect on the 
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements  
 revenue recognition on fixedprice engineering procurement 
and construction contracts the group recognises revenue on 
fixedprice engineering procurement and construction contracts 
using the percentageofcompletion method based on surveys 
of work performed the group has determined this basis of 
revenue recognition is the best available measure of progress 
on such contracts 
 revenue recognition on integrated energy services contracts the 
group assesses on a case by case basis the most appropriate 
treatment for its various of commercial structures which include 
risk service contracts production enhancement contracts and 
equity upstream investments including production sharing 
contracts see accounting policies note on page 131 for further 
details 
estimation uncertainty 
the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources 
of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date 
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial 
year are discussed below 
 provisions for liquidated damages claims ld’s the group 
provides for ld claims where there have been significant contract 
delays and it is considered probable that the customer will 
successfully pursue such a claim this requires an estimate of the 
amount of ld’s payable under a claim which involves a number of 
management judgements and assumptions regarding the amounts 
to recognise 
 project cost to complete estimates at each statement of financial 
position date the group is required to estimate costs to complete 
on fixedprice contracts estimating costs to complete on such 
contracts requires the group to make estimates of future costs 
to be incurred based on work to be performed beyond the 
statement of financial position date this estimate will impact 
revenues cost of sales workinprogress billings in excess of 
costs and estimated earnings and accrued contract expenses 
 recognition of contract variation orders vo’s the group 
recognises revenues and margins from vo’s where it is 
considered probable that they will be awarded by the customer 
and this requires management to assess the likelihood of such an 
award being made by reference to customer communications and 
other forms of documentary evidence 
 onerous contract provisions the group provides for future losses 
on longterm contracts where it is considered probable that the 
contract costs are likely to exceed revenues in future years 
estimating these future losses involves a number of assumptions 
about the achievement of contract performance targets and 
the likely levels of future cost escalation over time us nil at 
31 december 2013 2012 us nil 
 impairment of goodwill the group determines whether goodwill 
is impaired at least on an annual basis this requires an estimation 
of the value in use of the cashgenerating units to which the 
goodwill is allocated estimating the value in use requires the 
group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows 
from each cashgenerating unit and also to determine a suitable 
discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash 
flows the carrying amount of goodwill at 31 december 2013 was 
us155m 2012 us125m note 11

2 summary of significant accounting policies 
continued 
 deferred tax assets the group recognises deferred tax assets 
on all applicable temporary differences where it is probable that 
future taxable profits will be available for utilisation this requires 
management to make judgements and assumptions regarding 
the amount of deferred tax that can be recognised based on the 
magnitude and likelihood of future taxable profits the carrying 
amount of deferred tax assets at 31 december 2013 was 
us37m 2012 us43m 
 income tax the company and its subsidiaries are subject to 
routine tax audits and also a process whereby tax computations 
are discussed and agreed with the appropriate authorities whilst 
the ultimate outcome of such tax audits and discussions cannot 
be determined with certainty management estimates the level of 
provisions required for both current and deferred tax on the basis 
of professional advice and the nature of current discussions with 
the tax authority concerned 
 recoverable value of property plant and equipment intangible oil 
and gas and other intangible assets the group determines at 
each statement of financial position date whether there is any 
evidence of indicators of impairment in the carrying value of its 
property plant and equipment intangible oil and gas and other 
intangible assets where indicators exist an impairment test is 
undertaken which requires management to estimate the 
recoverable value of its assets for example by reference to quoted 
market values similar arm’s length transactions involving these 
assets fair value less costs of disposal discounted cash flow 
models or value in use calculations for certain oil and gas assets 
where impairment triggers were identified the recoverable 
amounts for these assets were estimated using both value in use 
and fair value less costs of disposal discounted cash flow models 
for all assets tested the recoverable amount was higher than the 
carrying amount and therefore no impairment was recorded the 
key sources of estimation uncertainty for these tests are consistent 
with those disclosed in note 11 
 units of production depreciation estimated proven plus probable 
reserves are used in determining the depreciation of oil and gas 
assets such that the depreciation charge is proportional to the 
depletion of the remaining reserves over their life of production 
these calculations require the use of estimates including the 
amount of economically recoverable reserves and future oil and 
gas capital expenditure 
investment in associates and joint ventures 
an associate is an entity over which the group has significant 
influence significant influence is the power to participate in the 
financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not 
control or joint control over those policies 
a joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties 
that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net 
assets of the joint venture a joint operation is a type of joint 
arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the 
arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the 
liabilities relating to the arrangement joint control is the 
contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement which 
exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require 
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control 
the considerations made in determining significant influence or 
joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control  
over subsidiaries 
the group’s investments in its associate and joint venture are 
accounted for using the equity method 
under the equity method the investment in an associate or a joint 
venture is initially recognised at cost the carrying amount of the 
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the group’s share of 
net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition 
date goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in 
the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor 
individually tested for impairment 
the consolidated income statement reflects the group’s share of 
the results of operations of the associate or joint venture any 
change in oci of those investees is presented as part of the 
group’s oci in addition when there has been a change recognised 
directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture the group 
recognises its share of any changes when applicable in the 
statement of changes in equity unrealised gains and losses 
resulting from transactions between the group and the associate or 
joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the 
associate or joint venture  
the group’s interests in joint operation are recognised in relation to 
its interest in a joint operation’s  
 assets including its share of any assets held jointly 
 liabilities including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly 
 revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from  
the joint operation 
 share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the  
joint operation 
 expenses including its share of any expenses incurred jointly 
under joint operations the expenses that the group incurs and its 
share of the revenue earned is recognised in the consolidated 
income statement assets controlled by the group and liabilities 
incurred by it are recognised in the statement of financial position 
the group recognises its share of the profits after tax and  
noncontrolling interest of the associates and joint ventures in its 
consolidated income statement any unrealised gains and losses 
resulting from transactions between the group and the associate 
and joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in its 
associates and joint ventures 
where necessary adjustments are made to the financial statements 
of the group’s joint ventures and operations to bring their 
accounting policies into line with those of the group 
after application of the equity method the group determines 
whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its 
investment in its associate or joint venture at each reporting date 
the group determines whether there is objective evidence that the 
investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired if there is 
such evidence the group calculates the amount of impairment as 
the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or 
joint venture and its carrying value then recognises the loss as 
‘selling general and administration expenses’ in the consolidated 
income statement 
upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control 
over the joint venture the group measures and recognises any 
retained investment at its fair value any difference between the 
carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of 
significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained 
investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in 
consolidated income statement

foreign currency translation 
the company’s functional and presentational currency is us dollars 
in the financial statements of individual subsidiaries joint ventures 
joint operations and associates transactions in currencies other 
than a company’s functional currency are recorded at the prevailing 
rate of exchange at the date of the transaction at the year end 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date 
nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical 
cost in a foreign currency are translated using the rate of exchange 
as at the dates of the initial transactions nonmonetary assets and 
liabilities measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated 
using the rate of exchange at the date the fair value was 
determined all foreign exchange gains and losses are taken to the 
consolidated income statement with the exception of exchange 
differences arising on monetary assets and liabilities that form part 
of the group’s net investment in subsidiaries these are taken 
directly to the statement of changes in equity until the disposal 
of the net investment at which time they are recognised in the 
consolidated income statement 
the statements of financial position of overseas subsidiaries joint 
ventures joint operations and associates are translated into us 
dollars using the closing rate method whereby assets and liabilities 
are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting 
date the income statements of overseas subsidiaries and joint 
operations are translated at average exchange rates for the year 
exchange differences arising on the retranslation of net assets are 
taken directly to other reserves within the statement of changes 
in equity 
on the disposal of a foreign entity accumulated exchange 
differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement 
as a component of the gain or loss on disposal 
property plant and equipment 
property plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any impairment in value cost comprises the 
purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly 
attributable to making that asset capable of operating as intended 
the purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount 
paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire 
the asset depreciation is provided on a straightline basis other 
than on oil and gas assets at the following rates 
oil and gas facilities 10 – 125 
plant and equipment 4 – 33 
buildings and leasehold improvements 5 – 33  
 or lease term if shorter 
office furniture and equipment 25 – 50

tangible oil and gas assets are depreciated on a fieldbyfield basis 
using the unitofproduction method based on entitlement to proven 
and probable reserves taking account of estimated future 
development expenditure relating to those reserves refer to page 
45 for life of these fields 
each asset’s estimated useful life residual value and method 
of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each 
financial year end 
no depreciation is charged on land or assets under construction 
the carrying amount of an item of property plant and equipment 
is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits 
are expected from its use or disposal the gain or loss arising from 
the derecognition of an item of property plant and equipment is 
included in the consolidated income statement when the item is 
derecognised gains are not classified as revenue 
noncurrent assets held for sale 
noncurrent assets or disposal groups are classified as held for 
sale when it is expected that the carrying amount of an asset will 
be recovered principally through sale rather than continuing use 
assets are not depreciated when classified as held for sale 
borrowing costs 
borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of qualifying 
assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period 
of time to prepare for their intended use are added to the cost of 
those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready 
for their intended use all other borrowing costs are recognised as 
interest payable in the consolidated income statement in the period 
in which they are incurred 
business combinations and goodwill 
business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition 
method the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of 
the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value 
and the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree for 
each business combination the group elects whether to measure 
the noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the 
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets 
acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred and included in 
administrative expenses 
when the group acquires a business it assesses the financial 
assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and 
designation in accordance with the contractual terms economic 
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date 
this includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host 
contracts by the acquiree  
if the business combination is achieved in stages any previously 
held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value 
and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss it is then 
considered in the determination of goodwill 
goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at 
cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over 
the net fair value of the identifiable assets liabilities and contingent 
liabilities of the entity at the date of acquisition following initial 
recognition goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated 
impairment losses goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually 
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that such carrying value may be impaired all transaction costs 
associated with business combinations are charged to the 
consolidated income statement in the year of such combination 
for the purpose of impairment testing goodwill acquired is allocated 
to the cashgenerating units that are expected to benefit from the 
synergies of the combination each unit or units to which goodwill 
is allocated represents the lowest level within the group at which 
the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and 
is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance 
with ifrs 8 ‘operating segments’ 
impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of 
the cashgenerating units to which the goodwill relates where the 
recoverable amount of the cashgenerating units is less than the 
carrying amount of the cashgenerating units and related goodwill 
an impairment loss is recognised 
where goodwill has been allocated to cashgenerating units and 
part of the operation within those units is disposed of the goodwill 
associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying 
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on 
disposal of the operation goodwill disposed of in this circumstance 
is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed 
of and the portion of the cashgenerating units retained

contingent consideration payable on a business combination  
when as part of a business combination the group defers a 
proportion of the total purchase consideration payable for an 
acquisition the amount provided for is the acquisition date fair value 
of the consideration the unwinding of the discount element is 
recognised as a finance cost in the consolidated income statement 
for business combinations prior to 1 january 2010 all changes in 
estimated contingent consideration payable on acquisition are 
adjusted against the carried goodwill for business combinations 
after 1 january 2010 changes in estimated contingent 
consideration payable on acquisition are recognised in the 
consolidated income statement unless they are measurement 
period adjustments which arise as a result of additional information 
obtained after the acquisition date about the facts and 
circumstances existing at the acquisition date which are adjusted 
against carried goodwill contingent consideration that is classified 
as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is 
accounted for within equity 
intangible assets – non oil and gas assets 
intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially 
measured at cost being their fair values at the date of acquisition 
and are recognised separately from goodwill where the asset is 
separable or arises from a contractual or other legal right and its fair 
value can be measured reliably after initial recognition intangible 
assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any 
accumulated impairment losses intangible assets with a finite life 
are amortised over their useful economic life using a straightline 
method unless a better method reflecting the pattern in which the 
asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed 
can be determined the amortisation charge in respect of intangible 
assets is included in the selling general and administration 
expenses line of the consolidated income statement the expected 
useful lives of assets are reviewed on an annual basis any change 
in the useful life or pattern of consumption of the intangible asset is 
treated as a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for 
prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method 
intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an 
indication that the asset may be impaired 
oil and gas assets 
capitalised costs 
the group’s activities in relation to oil and gas assets are limited 
to assets in the evaluation development and production phases 
oil and gas evaluation and development expenditure is accounted 
for using the successful efforts method of accounting 
evaluation expenditures 
expenditure directly associated with evaluation or appraisal 
activities is capitalised as an intangible asset such costs include the 
costs of acquiring an interest appraisal well drilling costs payments 
to contractors and an appropriate share of directly attributable 
overheads incurred during the evaluation phase for such appraisal 
activity which may require drilling of further wells costs continue to 
be carried as an asset whilst related hydrocarbons are considered 
capable of commercial development such costs are subject to 
technical commercial and management review to confirm the 
continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value when this 
is no longer the case the costs are writtenoff in the income 
statement when such assets are declared part of a commercial 
development related costs are transferred to tangible oil and gas 
assets all intangible oil and gas assets are assessed for any 
impairment prior to transfer and any impairment loss is recognised 
in the consolidated income statement 
development expenditures 
expenditure relating to development of assets which include the 
construction installation and completion of infrastructure facilities 
such as platforms pipelines and development wells is capitalised 
within property plant and equipment 
changes in unitofproduction factors 
changes in factors which affect unitofproduction calculations 
are dealt with prospectively in accordance with the treatment of 
changes in accounting estimates not by immediate adjustment of 
prior years’ amounts 
decommissioning 
provision for future decommissioning costs is made in full when 
the group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a facility 
or an item of plant and to restore the site on which it is located 
and when a reasonable estimate of that liability can be made 
the amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future 
expenditure an amount equivalent to the discounted initial provision 
for decommissioning costs is capitalised and amortised over the life 
of the underlying asset on a unitofproduction basis over proven 
and probable reserves any change in the present value of the 
estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision 
and the oil and gas asset 
the unwinding of the discount applied to future decommissioning 
provisions is included under finance costs in the consolidated 
income statement 
impairment of assets excluding goodwill 
at each statement of financial position date the group reviews 
the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to assess 
whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired 
if any such indication exists the group makes an estimate of the 
asset’s recoverable amount an asset’s recoverable amount is 
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value 
in use in assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows 
attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using 
a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments 
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset 
if the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its 
carrying amount the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its 
recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognised immediately 
in the consolidated income statement unless the relevant asset is 
carried at a revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is 
treated as a revaluation decrease 
where an impairment loss subsequently reverses the carrying 
amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its 
recoverable amount but so that the increased carrying amount 
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the 
asset in prior years a reversal of an impairment loss is recognised 
immediately in the consolidated income statement unless the 
relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount in which case the 
reversal of the impairment is treated as a revaluation increase 
inventories 
inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value 
net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business less estimated costs of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale cost comprises 
purchase price cost of production transportation and other directly 
allocable expenses costs of inventories other than raw materials 
are determined using the firstinfirstout method costs of raw 
materials are determined using the weighted average method

financial statements  
 
work in progress and billings in excess of cost and 
estimated earnings 
fixed price lump sum engineering procurement and construction 
contracts are presented in the statement of financial position as 
follows  
 for each contract the accumulated cost incurred as well as 
the estimated earnings recognised at the contract’s percentage 
of completion less provision for any anticipated losses after 
deducting the progress payments received or receivable from 
the customers are shown in current assets in the statement 
of financial position under ‘work in progress’ 
 where the payments received or receivable for any contract 
exceed the cost and estimated earnings less provision for any 
anticipated losses the excess is shown as ‘billings in excess 
of cost and estimated earnings’ within current liabilities 
trade and other receivables 
trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice 
amount less an allowance for any amounts estimated to be 
uncollectable an estimate for doubtful debts is made when there is 
objective evidence that the collection of the full amount is no longer 
probable under the terms of the original invoice impaired debts are 
derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectable 
cash and cash equivalents 
cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand 
and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months 
or less for the purpose of the cash flow statement cash and cash 
equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents as defined above 
net of outstanding bank overdrafts 
interestbearing loans and borrowings 
all interestbearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at 
the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs directly 
attributable to the borrowing 
after initial recognition interestbearing loans and borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method amortised cost is calculated by taking  
into account any issue costs and any discount or premium  
on settlement 
provisions 
provisions are recognised when the group has a present legal or 
constructive obligation as a result of past events it is probable that 
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a 
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation if the 
time value of money is material provisions are discounted using a 
current pretax rate that reflects where appropriate the risks 
specific to the liability where discounting is used the increase 
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised in the 
consolidated income statement as a finance cost 
fair value measurement 
the group measures financial instruments such as derivatives at 
fair value at each reporting date also fair values of financial 
instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in note 29 
fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid 
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market 
participants at the measurement date the fair value measurement 
is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or 
transfer the liability takes place either  
 in the principal market for the asset or liability or 
 in the absence of a principal market in the most advantageous 
market for the asset or liability 
the principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible 
to by the group 
the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the 
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the 
asset or liability assuming that market participants act in their 
economic best interest 
a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset takes into account 
a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using 
the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another 
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and  
best use 
the group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the 
circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure 
fair value maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and 
minimising the use of unobservable inputs 
all assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed 
in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value 
hierarchy described as follows based on the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole  
 level 1 – quoted unadjusted market prices in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities 
 level 2 – valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly 
observable 
 level 3 – valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable 
for assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial 
statements on a recurring basis the group determines whether 
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re
assessing categorisation based on the lowest level input that is 
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole at the end of 
each reporting period 
for the purpose of fair value disclosures the group has determined 
classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature 
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the 
fair value hierarchy as explained above

derecognition of financial assets and liabilities 
financial assets 
a financial asset or where applicable a part of a financial asset 
is derecognised where 
 the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired 
 the group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset 
but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material 
delay to a thirdparty under a ‘passthrough’ arrangement or 
 the group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the 
asset and either a has transferred substantially all the risks and 
rewards of the asset or b has neither transferred nor retained 
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has 
transferred control of the asset  
financial liabilities 
a financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the 
liability is discharged or cancelled or expires 
if an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same 
lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing 
liability are substantially modified such an exchange or modification 
is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the 
recognition of a new liability such that the difference in the 
respective carrying amounts together with any costs or fees 
incurred are recognised in the consolidated income statement 
offsetting of financial instruments 
financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount 
is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there 
is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised 
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis to realise 
the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously 
pensions and other longterm employment benefits 
the group has various defined contribution pension schemes in 
accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries 
in which it operates the amount charged to the consolidated 
income statement in respect of pension costs reflects the 
contributions payable in the year differences between contributions 
payable during the year and contributions actually paid are shown 
as either accrued liabilities or prepaid assets in the statement of 
financial position 
the group’s other longterm employment benefits are provided in 
accordance with the labour laws of the countries in which the group 
operates further details of which are given in note 25 
sharebased payment transactions 
employees including directors of the group receive remuneration 
in the form of sharebased payment transactions whereby 
employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over 
shares ‘equitysettled transactions’ 
equitysettled transactions 
the cost of equitysettled transactions with employees is measured 
by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted 
in valuing equitysettled transactions no account is taken of any 
service or performance conditions other than conditions linked 
to the price of the shares of petrofac limited ‘market conditions’ 
if applicable 
the cost of equitysettled transactions is recognised together with 
a corresponding increase in equity over the period in which the 
relevant employees become fully entitled to the award the ‘vesting 
period’ the cumulative expense recognised for equitysettled 
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the 
extent to which the vesting period has expired and the group’s best 
estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest 
the income statement charge or credit for a period represents the 
movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning 
and end of that period 
no expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest 
except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market or 
nonvesting condition which are treated as vesting irrespective 
of whether or not the market or nonvesting condition is satisfied 
provided that all other performance conditions and service 
conditions are satisfied equity awards cancelled are treated as 
vesting immediately on the date of cancellation and any expense 
not recognised for the award at that date is recognised in the 
consolidated income statement 
petrofac employee benefit trusts 
the petrofac employee benefit trust and the petrofac joint venture 
companies employee benefit trust warehouse ordinary shares 
purchased to satisfy various new share scheme awards made to the 
employees of the company and its joint venture partner employees 
which will be transferred to the members of the scheme on their 
respective vesting dates subject to satisfying the performance 
conditions of each scheme the trusts continue to be consolidated 
in the group financial statements under ifrs 10 which has been 
adopted in the current year 
treasury shares 
for the purpose of making awards under its employee share 
schemes the company acquires its own shares which are held by 
the petrofac employee benefit trust and the petrofac joint venture 
companies employee benefit trust all these shares have been 
classified in the statement of financial position as treasury shares 
within equity shares vested during the year are satisfied with 
treasury shares 
leases 
the determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease 
is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date and 
whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use 
of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys the right 
to use the asset 
leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the 
lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
to the lessee all other leases are classified as operating leases 
assets held under finance leases are recognised as noncurrent 
assets of the group at the lower of their fair value at the date of 
commencement of the lease and the present value of the minimum 
lease payments these assets are depreciated on a straightline 
basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease 
term the corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the 
consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease 
obligation lease payments are apportioned between finance costs 
in the income statement and reduction of the lease obligation so as 
to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of 
the liability 
the group has entered into various operating leases the payments 
for which are recognised as an expense in the consolidated income 
statement on a straightline basis over the lease terms

revenue recognition 
revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable economic 
benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably 
measured the following specific recognition criteria also apply 
onshore engineering  construction 
revenues from fixedprice lumpsum contracts are recognised 
using the percentageofcompletion method based on surveys of 
work performed once the outcome of a contract can be estimated 
reliably in the early stages of contract completion when the 
outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably contract 
revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that 
are expected to be recoverable 
revenues from costplusfee contracts are recognised on the basis 
of costs incurred during the year plus the fee earned measured by 
the costtocost method 
revenues from reimbursable contracts are recognised in the period 
in which the services are provided based on the agreed contract 
schedule of rates 
provision is made for all losses expected to arise on completion 
of contracts entered into at the statement of financial position date 
whether or not work has commenced on these contracts 
incentive payments are included in revenue when the contract 
is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified 
performance standards will be met or exceeded and the amount 
of the incentive payments can be measured reliably variation orders 
are only included in revenue when it is probable they will be 
accepted and can be measured reliably and claims are only 
included in revenue when negotiations have reached an  
advanced stage 
offshore projects  operations engineering  consulting services 
and integrated energy services 
revenues from reimbursable contracts are recognised in the period 
in which the services are provided based on the agreed contract 
schedule of rates 
revenues from fixedprice contracts are recognised on the 
percentageofcompletion method measured by milestones 
completed or earned value once the outcome of a contract can be 
estimated reliably in the early stages of contract completion when 
the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably contract 
revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that 
are expected to be recoverable 
incentive payments are included in revenue when the contract 
is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified 
performance standards will be met or exceeded and the amount 
of the incentive payments can be measured reliably claims are only 
included in revenue when negotiations have reached an advanced 
stage such that it is probable the claim will be accepted and can be 
measured reliably 
integrated energy services 
oil and gas revenues comprise the group’s share of sales from the 
processing or sale of hydrocarbons from the group’s equity 
upstream investments on an entitlement basis when the significant 
risks and rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer 
revenue from production enhancement contracts is recognised 
based on the volume of hydrocarbons produced in the period and 
the agreed tariff and the reimbursement arrangement for costs 
incurred 
precontractbid costs 
precontractbid costs incurred are recognised as an expense until 
there is a high probability that the contract will be awarded after 
which all further costs are recognised as assets and expensed over 
the life of the contract 
income taxes 
income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and 
deferred tax 
current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior 
periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered 
from or paid to the taxation authorities taxable profit differs from 
profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it 
excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible 
in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or 
deductible the group’s liability for current tax is calculated using 
tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
statement of financial position date 
deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the 
statement of financial position date between the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the 
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit 
with the following exceptions  
 where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition 
of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a 
business combination that at the time of the transaction affects 
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss 
 in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with 
investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures 
where the timing of reversal of the temporary differences can be 
controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will 
not reverse in the foreseeable future and 
 deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the 
deductible temporary differences carried forward tax credits or tax 
losses can be utilised 
the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each 
statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it 
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to 
allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised 
unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each statement 
of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has 
become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax 
asset to be recovered 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted 
basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled based on tax rates and tax laws 
enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial 
position date 
current and deferred tax is charged or credited directly to other 
comprehensive income or equity if it relates to items that are 
credited or charged to respectively other comprehensive income 
or equity otherwise income tax is recognised in the consolidated 
income statement

derivative financial instruments and hedging 
the group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward 
currency contracts and oil price collars and forward contracts to 
hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and oil price 
fluctuations such derivative financial instruments are initially 
recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is 
entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value 
derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and 
as liabilities when the fair value is negative 
any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of 
derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken 
to the consolidated income statement 
the fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by 
reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with 
similar maturity profiles the fair value of oil price collar contracts is 
determined by reference to market values for similar instruments 
for the purposes of hedge accounting hedges are classified as 
 fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the 
fair value of a recognised asset or liability or 
 cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash 
flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated 
with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable  
forecast transaction 
the group formally designates and documents the relationship 
between the hedging instrument and the hedged item at the 
inception of the transaction as well as its risk management 
objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions 
the documentation also includes identification of the hedging 
instrument the hedged item or transaction the nature of risk being 
hedged and how the group will assess the hedging instrument’s 
effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged 
item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk 
the group also documents its assessment both at hedge inception 
and on an ongoing basis of whether the derivatives that are used 
in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes 
in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items 
the treatment of gains and losses arising from revaluing derivatives 
designated as hedging instruments depends on the nature of the 
hedging relationship as follows 
cash flow hedges 
for cash flow hedges the effective portion of the gain or loss on 
the hedging instrument is recognised directly in the other 
comprehensive income in the net unrealised gainslosses on 
derivatives while the ineffective portion is recognised in the 
consolidated income statement amounts taken to other 
comprehensive income are transferred to the consolidated income 
statement when the hedged transaction affects the consolidated 
income statement 
if the hedging instrument expires or is sold terminated or exercised 
without replacement or rollover or if its designation as a hedge is 
revoked any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income remains separately in equity until the 
forecast transaction occurs and affects the consolidated income 
statement when a forecast transaction is no longer expected to 
occur the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in the other 
comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the 
consolidated income statement 
embedded derivatives 
contracts are assessed for the existence of embedded derivatives 
at the date that the group first becomes party to the contract 
with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract that 
significantly modifies the cash flows embedded derivatives which 
are not clearly and closely related to the underlying asset liability 
or transaction are separated and accounted for as 
standalone derivatives

these represent the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes the group 
considers cashgenerating units to be individually significant where they represent greater than 25 of the total goodwill balance  
onshore engineering  construction offshore projects  operations engineering  consulting services and integrated 
energy services cashgenerating units 
recoverable amounts have been determined based on value in use calculations using discounted pretax cash flow projections 
management have adopted projection periods appropriate to each unit’s value in use for onshore engineering  construction offshore 
projects  operations and engineering  consulting services cashgenerating units the cash flow projections are based on financial 
budgets approved by senior management covering a fiveyear period extrapolated at a growth rate of 25 
for the integrated energy services business the cash flows are based on economic models over the length of the contracted period for 
production enhancement contracts equity upstream investments and risk service contracts for other operations included in integrated 
energy services cash flows are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a fiveyear period extrapolated at a 
growth rate of 25  
the carrying amount of goodwill for the onshore engineering  construction offshore projects  operations and engineering  consulting 
services cashgenerating units are not individually significant in comparison with the total carrying amount of goodwill and therefore no 
analysis of sensitivities has been provided below

key assumptions used in value in use calculations for the integrated energy services unit 
the following key assumptions were included in the value in use calculations used to estimate the recoverable amount of the integrated 
energy services cashgenerating unit where management has identified a reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions that 
would result in impairment details have been provided below 
market share for the training business which is within integrated energy services the key assumptions relate to management’s 
assessment of maintaining the unit’s market share in the uk and developing further the business in international markets 
capital expenditure the production enhancement contracts in the integrated energy services unit require a minimum level of capital spend 
on the projects in the initial years to meet contractual commitments if the capital is not spent a cash payment of the balance is required 
which does not qualify for cost recovery the level of capital spend assumed in the value in use calculation is that expected over the period 
of the budget based on the current field development plans which assumes the minimum spend is met on each project and the contracts 
remain in force for the entire duration of the project for other equity upstream investments the level of capital spend assumed is based on 
sanctioned field development plans and represents the activities required to access commercial reserves a 10 increase in capital 
expenditure representing a total overspend of us300m undiscounted across the portfolio of integrated energy services projects would 
result in an impairment charge of us43m 
reserve volumes and production profiles management has used its internally developed economic models of reserves and production 
profiles as inputs in to the value in use for the production enhancement contracts risk service contracts and equity upstream 
investments these economic models are revised annually as part of the preparation of the group’s five year business plans which are 
approved by the board management has used an oil price of us100 per barrel 2012 us100 per barrel to determine reserve volumes 
a 10 decrease in forecast production across the portfolio of integrated energy services projects would result in an impairment charge 
equal to the carrying value of goodwill of us70m and a 10 reduction in the oil price would result in an impairment charge of us23m 
growth rate estimates are based on management’s assessment of market share having regard to macroeconomic factors and the growth 
rates experienced in the recent past in the markets in which the unit operates a growth rate of 25 per annum has been applied for 
businesses within the integrated energy services cashgenerating unit where the cash flows are not based on long term contractual 
arrangements 
discount rate management has used a pretax discount rate of 104 per annum 2012 132 per annum the discount rate is derived 
from the estimated weighted average cost of capital wacc of the group and has been calculated using an estimated risk free rate of 
return adjusted for the group’s estimated equity market risk premium there has been a significant reduction in the group’s wacc during 
2013 principally due to a major change in the macroeconomic outlook compared with the previous year which has resulted in a shift in the 
market risk premium used in the calculation of the group wacc furthermore the introduction of leverage in to the group’s consolidated 
statement of financial position has also reduced the group wacc due to the cost of debt being much lower than the cost of equity a 100 
basis point increase in the pretax discount rate to 114 would result in an impairment charge of us63m

24 of the share capital of seven energy the additional us25m investment was made as part of a discounted rights issue required to 
deal with a shortterm funding requirement by seven energy at a subscription price of us150 per share and in light of this the carrying 
value of the investment has been tested for impairment and no impairment provision is required no negative goodwill has been accounted 
for on the rights issue as the range of possible outcomes was immaterial the group also has the option to subscribe for 148571 of 
additional warrants in seven energy at a cost of a further us52m subject to the performance of certain service provision conditions and 
milestones in relation to project execution these warrants have been fair valued at 31 december 2013 as derivative financial instruments

the scheme are estimated based on the quoted closing market price per company share at the date of grant with an assumed vesting rate

deferred bonus share plan dbsp 
under the dbsp selected employees are required to defer a proportion of their annual cash bonus into company shares ‘invested award’ 
following such an award the company will generally grant the participant an additional award of a number of shares bearing a specified 
ratio to the number of his or her invested shares ‘matching shares’ typically using a 11 ratio subject to a participant’s continued 
employment invested and matching share awards may either vest 100 on the third anniversary of grant or alternatively vest onethird on 
the first anniversary of the grant onethird on the second anniversary and the final proportion on the third anniversary 
at the year end the values of the bonuses settled by shares cannot be determined until the remuneration committee has approved the 
portion of the employee bonuses to be settled in shares once the portion of the bonus to be settled in shares is determined the final bonus 
liability to be settled in shares is transferred to the reserve for sharebased payments the costs relating to the matching shares are 
recognised over the corresponding vesting period and the fair values of the equitysettled matching shares granted to employees are based 
on the quoted closing market price at the date of grant with the charge adjusted to reflect the expected vesting rate of the plan

awards to individuals who join the group part way through the year having left accrued benefits with a previous employer the fair values of 
the awards granted under the rsp at various grant dates during the year are based on the quoted market price at the date of grant

risk management objectives and policies 
the group’s principal financial assets and liabilities other than derivatives comprise availableforsale financial assets trade and other 
receivables amounts due fromto related parties cash and shortterm deposits workinprogress interestbearing loans and borrowings 
trade and other payables and contingent consideration 
the group’s activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risk on its variable rate cash and shortterm 
deposits loans and borrowings and foreign currency risk on both conducting business in currencies other than reporting currency as well as 
translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to the reporting currency these risks are managed from time to time by using a 
combination of various derivative instruments principally forward currency contracts in line with the group’s hedging policies the group 
has a policy not to enter into speculative trading of financial derivatives 
the board of directors of the company has established an audit committee and board risk committee to help identify evaluate and 
manage the significant financial risks faced by the group and their activities are discussed in detail on pages 82 to 91 
the other main risks besides interest rate and foreign currency risk arising from the group’s financial instruments are credit risk liquidity risk 
and commodity price risk and the policies relating to these risks are discussed in detail below 
interest rate risk 
interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the group’s interestbearing financial liabilities 
and assets 
the group’s exposure to market risk arising from changes in interest rates relates primarily to the group’s longterm variable rate debt 
obligations and its cash and bank balances the group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt 
the group’s cash and bank balances are at floating rates of interest 
interest rate sensitivity analysis 
the impact on the group’s pretax profit and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on loans and borrowings at the 
reporting date is demonstrated in the table below the analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant

interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year the other financial instruments of the 
group that are not included in the above tables are noninterest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk 
foreign currency risk 
the group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales purchases and translation of assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than 
the functional currency of its operating units the group is also exposed to the translation of the functional currencies of its units to the us 
dollar reporting currency of the group the following table summarises the percentage of foreign currency denominated revenues costs

the group uses forward currency contracts to manage the currency exposure on transactions significant to its operations it is the group’s 
policy not to enter into forward contracts until a highly probable forecast transaction is in place and to negotiate the terms of the derivative 
instruments used for hedging to match the terms of the hedged item to maximise hedge effectiveness 
foreign currency sensitivity analysis 
the income statements of foreign operations are translated into the reporting currency using a weighted average exchange rate of 
conversion foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the reporting date revenues and costs in currencies 
other than the functional currency of an operating unit are recorded at the prevailing rate at the date of the transaction the following

creditworthiness of each individual thirdparty at the time of entering into new contracts limits have been placed on the approval authority 
of the burrc above which the approval of the board of directors of the company is required receivable balances are monitored on an 
ongoing basis with appropriate followup action taken where necessary at 31 december 2013 the group’s five largest customers 
accounted for 493 of outstanding trade receivables and work in progress 2012 488 
with respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the group which comprise cash and cash equivalents availableforsale 
financial assets and certain derivative instruments the group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty with a 
maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments

the group considers that the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables workinprogress trade and other payables other current 
and noncurrent financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values and are therefore excluded from the above table 
the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current 
transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale  
the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values 
 the group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties principally financial institutions with investment grade 
credit ratings derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly foreign exchange forward contracts 
and oil derivatives market values have been used to determine the fair values of availableforsale financial assets forward currency 
contracts interest rate swaps and oil derivatives  
 the fair values of longterm interestbearing loans and borrowings are equivalent to their amortised costs determined as the present value 
of discounted future cash flows using the effective interest rate 
 the fair value of warrants over equity instruments in seven energy has been calculated using a black scholes model note 13 the 
valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about unobservable inputs to the model of which the significant 
unobservable inputs are disclosed in the table below 
  2013
volatility of underlying interest   568
riskfree interest rate   04
value of underlying interest on valuation date per share   us300
management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs and determines their 
impact on the total fair value an increase in the value of underlying interest would lead to an increase in the fair value of the warrants the 
fair value of the warrants is not significantly sensitive to a reasonable change in the volatility of underlying interest or the riskfree interest rate 
however it is to a reasonable change in the value of underlying interest as is described in the following table

 the fair value of the receivable under berantai rsc has been calculated using a discounted cash flow model the valuation requires

disclosed in the table below

discount rate   60

management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs and determines their 
impact on the total fair value the fair value of the receivable under berantai rsc is only sensitive to a reasonable change in the internal rate 
of return and the discount rate the table below explains the impact on the fair value of the receivable as a result of changes to these inputs

risk management objectives and policies 
the company’s principal financial assets and liabilities are amounts due from and due to subsidiaries cash and shortterm deposits and 
interestbearing loans and borrowings 
the company’s activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risks on its external variable rate loans 
and borrowings the company has a policy not to enter into speculative trading of financial derivatives 
the other main risks besides interest rate are foreign currency risk credit risk and liquidity risk and the policies relating to these risks are 
discussed in detail below 
interest rate risk 
interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the company’s interestbearing financial 
liabilities and assets the company does not hedge its exposure on its interestbearing funding tofrom subsidiaries  
interest rate sensitivity analysis 
the impact on the company’s pretax profit and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates is demonstrated in the table

Summary:
 succeeding in a 
challenging market
the longterm prospects for our industry 
are excellent 
the global appetite for energy will continue 
to grow largescale investments in oil and 
gas infrastructure will be needed to meet 
this demand and offset a natural decline in 
existing production as a result commercially 
innovative integrated oilﬁeld services will be 
more sought after – particularly by national 
oil companies
we are successfully positioning petrofac to 
prosper in this new environment but right 
now the marketplace is challenging and 
our 2013 results reﬂect the realities of the 
situation as we have emphasised in all our 
guidance competition has been intense 
geopolitical uncertainties abound and some 
customers have rethought and rephased 
their investments
even so the group delivered us650 million 
in earnings we continue to deliver 
differentiated margins and returns our 
portfolio is becoming progressively better 
balanced and we closed the year with our 
highest ever order backlog
petrofac therefore proposes a ﬁnal dividend 
of 4380 cents per share for the year ended 
31 december 2013 2012 4300 cents which 
if approved will be paid to shareholders on 
23 may 2014 further details are provided on 
page 49 
given our circumstances and in accordance 
with our guidance growth is set to be ﬂat 
to modest for 2014 but our longerterm 
prospects remain good by expanding 
geographically increasing our offshore 
capability and extending our credentials in 
integrated energy services ies we are on 
course to become the world’s most admired 
oilﬁeld service company and to secure long
term sustainable earnings for the group
scrutinising the strategic direction
against this background it is incumbent on the 
board to scrutinise systematically the strategic 
direction challenge management’s thinking 
and reassure ourselves that petrofac has the 
capability to deliver its strategic goals
throughout 2013 we paid particular attention 
to the group’s deepwater ambitions as part 
of our challenge processes the board 
thought it necessary to consult with external 
independent experts through detailed 
deliberations we concluded that petrofac has 
the right values and credentials to establish 
a differentiated toptier position in the fastest 
growing sector of the global oil and gas 
infrastructure industry
we also scrutinised the progress of the 
ies business although not all projects 
have performed in line with our original 
plans the achievements of the past 
two years are nonetheless signiﬁcant 
with innovative commercial models and 
a focus on operational excellence we are 
clearly gaining traction among national oil 
companies and explorers

strategic report
chairman’s statement
norman murray
nonexecutive chairman
in a tough and 
competitive 
market the 
board invested 
in petrofac’s 
future made 
solid progress 
on our strategic 
goals and 
delivered 
us650 million 
in earnings
 setting the tone from the top
the foundation of petrofac’s continued 
success is our distinctive culture and the 
board sets out to lead by example we see it 
as our collective responsibility to live up to the 
values safe ethical innovative responsive 
quality and cost conscious and driven 
to deliver 
given the nature of our business and 
the geopolitical environment both risk 
management and safety performance are 
key considerations we paid particular 
attention to the three fatalities looked 
closely into the individual circumstances 
and examined the root cause behind each 
of these tragic accidents in addition we 
sought consistent assurances that the safety 
of our teams including our subcontractors is 
never compromised 
in addition we scrutinised the evacuation of 
our in salah operations in algeria
we are disciplined in evaluating the 
performance of the board itself in 2013 we 
appointed an external assessor as part of the 
evaluation process the assessor observed 
our collective performance the workings 
of each committee and my own conduct 
we have just received the assessor’s initial 
report and will provide a full account next year
the composition of the board is another key 
consideration in this regard we were delighted 
that kathy hogenson joined us as a non
executive director kathy brings considerable 
subsurface knowledge which will help to 
inform the ies agenda meanwhile we were 
sorry to bid farewell to maroun semaan co
founder of petrofac who had been with the 
business for 23 years and has made such a 
substantial contribution to the success and 
the culture of the group as well as the quality 
of the board debate we were also sad that 
andy inglis is leaving us but appreciate the 
way he established the ies business and 
understand his reasons for moving on 
reaching a series of 
signiﬁcant decisions
i regard 2013 as a pivotal year in petrofac’s 
development and the decisions made by the 
board are a reﬂection of this fact
given that we are now investing to grow 
ﬁnancing is a key consideration and carrying 
some debt becomes a strategic necessity 
the inaugural bond issue that the board 
sanctioned and oversaw is to me a sign 
of the growing maturity of the business 
the fact that we received such a respectable 
assessment by the ratings agencies suggests 
that the market has every conﬁdence in our 
ability to deliver and allows us to beneﬁt from 
excellent ﬁnancial terms
one of the most signiﬁcant board decisions 
of 2013 was to approve the commissioning 
of a new deepwater installation vessel 
this will provide a unique combination of 
highend capabilities and will enable petrofac 
to build a differentiated toptier engineering 
procurement construction and installation 
epci business focused on highend 
turnkey opportunities
as the group moves into new geographies 
and competes for larger more integrated 
projects the board has also been required 
to sanction a number of highly complex 
bids in doing so we assess the level 
of project management discipline and 
executive capabilities behind them to 
satisfy ourselves that the right mix of risk 
and reward is established
staying close to the inner 
workings of the group
with so much happening across the group 
it is important that our knowledge of petrofac 
extends well beyond the boardroom and 
that we have insights into the realities of the 
everyday business
each year two of our board meetings take 
place in our operational locations and we 
make a point of experiencing our business 
ﬁrst hand in 2013 one of these trips was 
colocated in malaysia and singapore which 
allowed us to meet with our customers 
partners and our contractors we also entered 
a ‘hard hat’ environment to inspect the 
cendor phase 2 ﬂoating production storage 
and ofﬂoading vessel fpso conversion in the 
pasir gudang shipyard
we encourage all of our nonexecutive 
directors to visit other facilities on an 
individual basis in previous years i took 
part in our safety conference in dubai our 
leadership conference and eve excellence 
value energy awards also in dubai as 
well as attending our leadership excellence 
programme at the london business school 
by spending time directly with our employees 
we can better understand what it is about 
petrofac that motivates and engages them 
this feeds directly into board discussions 
about our hr challenges and gives me the 
conﬁdence in our ability to recruit and retain 
sufﬁcient numbers of petrofac employees
looking towards signiﬁcant 
longterm growth potential
when considering petrofac’s strategic 
ambitions it is important to consider 
the group’s record of project execution 
operational excellence its success in 
establishing the ies business and the 
disciplined way in which it is extending its 
offshore capabilities a key consideration for
