POL: Notes from Directors Report - Annual 2022

For full year Jun 2022, Pakistan Oilfields Ltd (PSX:POL) earned profit after tax of Rs 25.93 billion (2021: Rs.13.38 billion), which is higher by 93.8% on last year.

The profit translates into earnings per share of Rs 91.37 (2021: Rs 47.14 per share). 

The increase in profit is mainly related to increase in average price of Crude Oil by 70.3%, Gas average price increased by 16.2%, notional exchange gain on bank balances, higher income on bank deposits because of higher deposits and profit rates.

During the year productions of Crude Oil, Gas and LPG were lower by 10.9% and 9.6% and 2.2% respectively in comparison to last year mainly due to natural decline.

POL share in production, including that from joint ventures, for the year under review averaged 5,528 barrels per day (bpd) of crude, 70.75 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas, 151.83 metric tonnes per day (MTD) of LPG, 1.30 MTD of Sulphur and 51 bpd of solvent oil.

Brent Crude Logs Biggest Weekly Drop Since September on Weak Demand, Easing Tensions

Oil prices were under pressure this week. Brent crude oil futures fell 1.9% to $73 per barrel on Friday, registering the biggest weekly loss since early September, with prices dropping over 7%. The decline was attributed to weaker demand forecasts from OPEC and the International Energy Agency (IEA), slowing economic growth in China, and signs of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Both OPEC and the IEA revised down their demand forecasts for 2024 and 2025. China's refinery output declined for the sixth consecutive month, impacted by weak fuel demand and the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil production reached a new record last week. Although a drawdown in U.S. crude inventories and stronger-than-expected retail sales in September provided some support to oil prices, easing concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East exerted additional downward pressure on the market.
