Section 1: Work Programme & Budget (WPB) and Related Processes
1.1 Work Programme & Budget (First and Annual Submission)
1.1.1 Objective
The Work Programme & Budget (WPB) is submitted annually by
Contractor to PETRONAS. It outlines the Contractor’s proposed
annual petroleum operations, namely exploration, development
and production.
Each WPB shall provide details of the proposed petroleum
operations, which shall include all relevant data, activities description,
estimated costs and plan of upcoming year activity plus four (4) years
forecast. The expenditure breakdown shall be submitted in the
following order:
The WPB submission to PETRONAS for approval shall be based on
the following:
1.1.2 Approval for WPB
PETRONAS will notify Contractor of approval or rejection of the
proposed WPB by 31st December of the same year in respect of each
subsequent WPB (approval may be conditional). Petroleum
operations can only be carried out by Contractor once the relevant
WPB has been approved in writing by PETRONAS.

1.2.1 Objective
PBE is an annual submission, which commences prior to actual WPB
submission. It outlines PETRONAS’ expectations of Contractor. It
serves to assist Contractor in preparing the annual WPB consistent
with PETRONAS’ business plans and objectives.
Clarification session may be held between PETRONAS and
Contractor. This session provides the opportunity for preliminary
discussions on the activities and proposed budget, with a view of
optimising both parties’ expectations and objectives.
1.2.2 Submission Requirements
PBE comprises of general and specific expectations in relation
to petroleum operations. The PBE shall include the exploration,
development and production (whichever is relevant to the Contractor)
that PETRONAS expects to be carried out annually and includes the
four (4) years forecast.
Contractor shall pursue its own initiatives to conduct petroleum
operations in accordance with prudent and modern practices.
The expectations formulated shall be in accordance with the
respective contractual obligations. It shall incorporate the following

a) Year End - relates to the actual expenditure for the budget
year incurred from 1st January to 31st December.
b) Carry Over - relates to ongoing or incomplete approved
activities and budget as at 31st December of the budget year.
The spilled over activities shall be completed no later than by
the end of Q1 of the subsequent budget year.
The expenditure shall be on an accrual or estimate basis whichever

Section 2: Annual Review of Petroleum Resources (ARPR)
2.1 Objective
The Annual Review of Petroleum Resources (ARPR) is an annual exercise that
reports the inventory level of Malaysia’s petroleum resources. It also ensures
that reporting by Contractor adheres to PETRONAS’ Definitions and
Guidelines for Classification of Petroleum Resources. PETRONAS established
its first resources guideline in 1997. The latest revision was in October 2012
and it is aligned with the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Petroleum Resources
Management System (SPE PRMS).
The resources guideline provides standardised and coherent definition,
classification and reporting method for effective management of petroleum
resources and business portfolios. It serves as a basis for PETRONAS’
resources portfolio management that outlines the terminology
recommended for classification and estimation of quantities of petroleum
(e.g. crude oil, natural gas, condensate and related substances) as at a
specific date.
Refer to the PETRONAS’ Definitions and Guidelines for Classification of
Petroleum Resources.
The following diagram gives an overview of the ARPR annual exercise:

production level in writing by 31st December of the preceding year, in
respect of each subsequent ECR and WPB.
The Contract’s annual approved production target is derived from WPB
submission for each petroleum field and subject to national requirements
(if any). Contractor must execute activities as approved in the WPB.
Contractor or PETRONAS may request further clarification, no later than 1st
November of each year, in the following circumstances:
a) Contractor - to clarify any annual production target revision which
differs from the WPB submission figure (Contractor shall provide
comprehensive clarification to PETRONAS)
b) PETRONAS - to clarify the basis of the stretched production target
should it differ from the WPB submission figure
The total production of each year will be monitored based on PETRONAS’
annual approved production target.

to track and monitor the production performance prior to commencement
of the next quarter.
In the second month of each quarter (or when advised by PETRONAS),
Contractor is required to submit the following information in a standard
reporting format as issued by PETRONAS:

3.5 Production Variation
Contractor must take all measures to comply with the annual approved
production level with minimal production fluctuation. However, to cater for
unexpected operational requirements, Contractor must endeavour to
make-up the deferred production (for example, through production
enhancement initiatives). Therefore, the possible catch up plans must be in
place and presented during the quarterly performance review.
Contractor must obtain approval from PETRONAS on the proposed
production catch-up plan if fields fall under the National Depletion Policy
(NDP). The NDP states that for any major fields with a total Oil Initially in Place
(OIIP) equal to or more than 400 MMstb, the production will be limited to a
ceiling of 3% of OIIP in any one (1) year.

Section 5: Enhanced Capacity Review
5.1 Objective
Enhanced Capacity Review (ECR) is an annual exercise established for
Contractor to provide long term oil production, gas supply and condensate
production, reflecting the outcome of Contractor’s response on
Pre-Budget Expectation (PBE). It serves as a forecast for Contractor’s WPB.
This session will provide an opportunity for Contractor to discuss the
immediate year’s forecast and submit the long term forecast prior to the
official WPB submission to PETRONAS.
The long term forecast provided through ECR will serve as a baseline for
PETRONAS to effectively manage and plan the national oil production, gas
supply and condensate production target prior to annual WPB submission by
Contractor.
The ECR discussion objectives are to:
a) forecast the immediate year’s plus four (4) years’ oil production, gas
supply (production and feed gas) and condensate production
b) discuss the gap or surplus for the immediate year’s forecast against the
previous year’s WPB submission
c) identify the immediate year’s opportunities and threats analysis
d) discuss the mitigation plan (activity-based) to address the gap (if any) for
the immediate year’s forecast for inclusion in the immediate year WPB
submission
e) consider the immediate year’s downtime assumption for planned and
unplanned downtime
f ) discuss the immediate year’s production enhancement, work-over,
debottleneck and development projects and provide planned first oil
and/or first gas date, annual rate and project progress
g) consider the immediate year’s flaring forecast and proposal on the
flaring limit
h) provide long term forecast for oil production, gas supply (production
and feed gas) and condensate production until end of field life
