MESSAGE

FROM THE

CHAIRMAN

PetroChina will have to shoulder greater responsibilities and face more challenges as well as more opportunities. Nevertheless, we will continue to implement the strategy with respect to resources, the market, internationalization and innovation and the goal of building a top-class international energy company. While focusing on efficiency and profit and maintaining quality-based development, we will also seize the opportunities for the petroleum industry's low-carbon transformation, accelerate the research and layout of new energy business and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030, creating and sharing a bright future with all our stakeholders.

Thank you for reading this report as well as for your support to PetroChina over time.

In 2019, given the complex business environment combined with the growing risk of economic downturn worldwide as well as more intense competition in the market, PetroChina strove ahead amid the changing conditions and difficulties. We adhered to the concept of business growth stressing innovation, coordination, environmental friendliness, openness and benefit sharing, and the mission to deliver high-quality energy. We focused on our principal businesses, going all out to level up quality and efficiency while effectively dealing with material risks. Through these efforts, we achieved a better performance than expected, reaped significant benefits from our quality-based business development and furthermore, we improved our value-creating capabilities.

We were much stronger in supply of clean energy through increasing the exploration and production of natural gas, promoting environmentally-friendly development and optimizing the structure of energy supply. Guided by the industry's low-carbontransformation strategy, PetroChina was committed to developing green energy solutions and green technology, with the aim to provide clean and high-qualityenergy in a more responsible manner. PetroChina has maintained an increased strategic focus on natural-gasexploration and production. In 2019, PetroChina achieved substantial year-on-yeargrowth in gas production. This growth represented 70% of the total domestic gas production as a result. Gas marketing covered over 10 million end users, with the sales volume growing 19.6% year-on-year,addressing public demand for clean, low- carbon and high-efficiencyenergy resources. PetroChina has accelerated construction of key cross- border and domestic gas pipelines, facilitating the import of natural gas and LNG. The Company created the Action Plan for Green Development, aiming to foster green development which centers on oil and gas, complemented by the trial development and utilization of new energies such as geothermal energy and gas hydrate. Bearing in mind that "Clean Waters and Lush Mountains are Invaluable Assets", PetroChina pursued cleaner production and a more efficient use of energy resources, continuously highlighting carbon emission management. The Company identified the risks that climate change brings and took appropriate measures. PetroChina was deeply involved in the activities of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), and hosted the OGCI 2019 Conferences. We worked closely with international peers to explore opportunities for low-carbontransformation. The Company was honored with the 2019 Best Practice for Corporate Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals granted by the UN Global Compact Network China, and also the Exemplar Low-CarbonEnterprise in China for the ninth consecutive year.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN 07

We achieved steady and quality-based business growth by consolidating growth momentum with further innovation and deeper reform. Innovation within technology, management and the business model is the fundamental path to address global energy challenges and realize an energy revolution. In this regard, PetroChina focuses on capacity building and promotes organizational and mechanism reforms related to technical innovation to stimulate research institutions and talents. In 2019, PetroChina achieved good performance in technical innovation, contributing effective solutions to issues, such as equal access to energy, response to climate change and enhancement of energy efficiency. Technical advancements boosted increases in reserves and production, as well as a series of major discoveries in risk exploration, including the billion-tonQingcheng oilfield, and two trillion-m3 gas regions (i.e. shale gas in the Sichuan Basin and Bozi-Dabeiin the Tarim Basin). Innovative theories and new technologies/products were developed, and breakthroughs were made in some core technologies. PetroChina won the First Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award for the 100-million-tonsproduction capacity project and the efficient development of carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East. We increased the use of information technology across the industry chain by promoting the formation of digital oilfields, smart refineries, smart pipelines, smart gas stations and IoT, enabling the integration of automatic data collection, remote monitoring and production/business decision-makingand enhancement of the efficiency and the reliability of business operations.

We further consolidated the foundation for sustainable development through improving compliance management and corporate governance. PetroChina has continued to improve its management mechanism for sustainable development, integrating this concept into the whole value chain for effective control of environmental, social and governance risks. The Company has made increased efforts to improve corporate governance and its internal control system, through compliance management focused on system optimization and responsibility implementation, together with staff training in compliance education to ensure effective control of compliance-relatedrisks. Our internal control and risk management system was found to have zero defects in external auditing for the 14th consecutive year. PetroChina enhanced supplier access and process monitoring to control ESG risks in the supply chain, and further improved communication and engagement with stakeholders to make our business operations more transparent. The Company was honored with awards such as the Most Honored Oil & Gas Company in Asia, and the Best ESG/SRI Indicators, further adding to PetroChina's brand value.

We have worked on openness and cooperation, to build a community of shared interests in the international oil and gas sector, and witnessed expansion of international cooperation. PetroChina is committed to being a good corporate citizen, a preferred partner of the industry, and to addressing the major changes in the energy sector together with its peers. Its aim is to establish a shared-interestcommunity featuring openness and a win-wincooperation. In 2019, PetroChina hosted important international exchange activities including the Belt and Road Roundtable for Oil & Gas Cooperation, the Sino-RussianEnergy Business Forum, and the International Cooperation Forum on the sidelines of the China International Import Expo, and the memorandum on expanding cooperation in the oil and gas field of Kazakhstan and the extension contract of Block 5 in Oman were successfully signed, which represents the continuously expansion of cooperation scale and areas in the oil and gas field.

Through corporate social responsibility, we secured equitable and inclusive development. PetroChina has undertaken projects for people's well-being,and increased employees' personal benefits by linking their pay to the performance of the Company, thus ensuring the employees enjoyed greater gains, enthusiasm and confidence. We managed to expand up-,mid- and downstream business partnerships with local investors to drive the economic and social development of local areas. PetroChina also leveraged its industrial, technical and human resources for targeted poverty alleviation to support the government's initiative. In 2019, we implemented nearly 70 targeted alleviation projects, and allocated 73% more funds than in 2018, helping to lift eight of the 10 targeted counties out of poverty. The localization strategy of the Company in overseas operations secured an over 90% local employment rate, among which many took up key technical or management posts. PetroChina paid taxes according to local laws, totaling RMB 42.9 billion overseas. Meanwhile, the Company continued to implement a series of projects to support local communities. PetroChina was honored with the Responsible Enterprise 2019 award for its outstanding social contributions.

In the year to come, given the complex situation, with accelerating energy transition and the profound adjustment of the energy supply- demand pattern, PetroChina will have to shoulder greater responsibilities and face more challenges as well as more opportunities. Nevertheless, we will continue to implement the strategy with respect to resources, the market, internationalization and innovation and the goal of building a top-class international energy company. While focusing on efficiency and profit and maintaining quality-based development, we will also seize the opportunities for the petroleum industry's low-carbon transformation, accelerate the research and layout of new energy business and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030, creating and sharing a bright future with all our stakeholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 09

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

At PetroChina, we always advocate the modern concept of corporate governance characterized by the supremacy of law, reciprocity of power and responsibility, procedural compliance, credibility and integrity, justice and impartiality. Taking rule of law as the principle, we enhanced our capabilities in business management. Taking the Articles of Association as the guideline, we improved our corporate governance system and the scheme of business management, focusing on formulating systematic, scientific and effective internal rules and regulations. Taking compliance as a key issue, we set a code of behavior for both the company and employees. Disciplined by such rules and regulations, we strive to achieve the modernization and internationalization of the corporate governance and control systems. We make relentless efforts to test the rationality and practicality of enhancing our corporate governance and improve the long-term mechanism which aims at running our business in compliance with the law.

SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT

To promote sustainable development, which we consistently advocate, we must deliver clean, reliable and affordable energy to the public in a responsible, sustainable and ethical manner, abide by laws and regulations, respect human rights, protect the environment and make contributions to the geographic areas where we operate. We embrace the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and a number of codes of voluntary compliance, including but not limited to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030.

The Company has established an effective system for sustainability management and created a governance structure for that purpose featuring clear layers of management and division of labor. We guide and manage the efforts in respect to sustainable development through the work of the Shareholders' General Meetings, the Board of Directors and its special committees, the Supervisory Committee, and the management team headed by the President. The philosophy of sustainability is deeply integrated in the entire process of our business operation for effective control of environmental, safety and social risks.

The Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Committee has been set up under the Board of Directors which is responsible for overseeing whether the HSE plans of the Company have been effectively implemented; advising the Board of Directors or the President on any major decisions or any critical issues that may have an impact on the HSE aspects of the Company; enquiring about major incidents and liabilities arising in connection with production and operation, properties and assets, staff or other facilities of the Company; and conducting inspections of and urging the resolution of such incidents. The Environmental, Social and Governance Report of the Company will be presented to and considered by the Board of Directors on an annual basis.

In 2019, we focused on "high-quality development", upholding business ethics, making every effort to develop clean and low-carbon energy, and paying close attention to environmental protection and caring for employees, in order to make greater contributions to society and keep enhancing our capacity for sustainable development. We link compensation of senior management and employees to their performance with respect to sustainable development and exercise a veto against any breach of environmental regulations by persons-in-charge. We also proceeded with company-wide performance appraisal, deducting points away from the performance scorecard of subsidiaries which have HSE accidents and quality problems.

GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

Ever since its incorporation, PetroChina has had in place a corporate governance framework in compliance with regulatory requirements and international practice, and this framework has been improving by taking into account actual operating circumstances in order to promote a continuous improvement in the standard of management. The governance framework is constituted by the Shareholders' General Meeting, the Board of Directors and its special committees, the Supervisory Committee, and senior management headed by the

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 11

President under which their respective authorities and responsibilities have been clearly defined. Such a management structure allows for close coordination and is highly effective.

We optimize the decision-making mechanism in keeping with laws and regulatory requirements, enhancing assessment of the mechanism, setting up and improving a system that traces back the person(s) held responsible for decisions made and holds decision-makers accountable for life. We keep on improving monitoring and checking the exercising of power, and following the principle that responsibility shall be commensurate with authority. We clearly delineated the limits of authority at different levels and set out a list of duties and powers. We made well-coordinated use of internal resources monitoring legal affairs, internal controls, auditing and internal inspection. We reinforced self-monitoring by means of double checking by dedicated departments and cross checking between superior and subordinate departments. We submit ourselves voluntarily to monitoring by the public to ensure well-grounded decision making, appropriate authorization, well-controlled exercise of power and disciplinary action against any abuse of power.

The governance system of the Company meets the requirement of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China ("Company Law"), the relevant provisions of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the regulatory requirements of stock exchanges where the Company is listed and the Articles of Association of PetroChina ("Articles of Association").

ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The destiny of humankind and nature is intertwined, therefore only by observing the law of nature can we avoid pitfalls in the exploitation and utilization of natural resources. We incorporate care for life and protection of the environment into our corporate mission. To adhere to the global trend of energy transition, we make great efforts to develop clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy, continuously upgrade the management and control of carbon emissions, and endeavor to build PetroChina into a resource-conserving, environmentally friendly and safety-conscious business.

ENERGY TRANSITION

Ongoing technical innovation has accelerated the global process towards clean and low-carbon energy. Although fossil fuels will remain the main energy source for a long time, the future energy mix will change significantly due to factors including global climate change and development of new technology. Natural gas, as a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy resource, is playing an increasingly significant role in the global energy transition, and has entered a golden development period.

Opportunities and Challenges

Global primary energy demand continues to grow, and the issue of equal access to energy stands out. The United Nations' World Population Prospects estimates that the world population will be close to 10 billion by 2050. Population growth, urbanization and industrialization of developing countries will continue to drive global energy demand and consumption growth. Meanwhile, according to a study by the International Energy Agency (IEA), more than 1.2 billion people around the world still do not have access to affordable modern energy, thus losing opportunities for equal development. It is a substantial part of the oil and gas industry's fulfillment of social responsibilities and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to help this group have equal access to clean, low-carbonand affordable energy.

Although the pace of transition to low-carbon energy under the goal of limiting global warming to less than 2°C is accelerating, fossil fuels remain the main source of energy. Climate change

ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT 25

and people's pursuit of a high quality of life will further promote the transition and upgrading of energy, and ongoing technical innovation will expedite the development of clean and low-carbon energy worldwide. Nevertheless, fossil fuels will remain the dominant energy source, and clean and efficient development and utilization of fossil fuels is the most realistic way to deal with climate change. By 2025, fossil fuels will represent over 80% of global primary energy consumption, among which oil represents approximately 33% and natural gas represents approximately 26%. By 2050, clean energy (natural gas and non-fossil fuels) will represent an aggregate of 56% of primary energy consumption.

Strategic Response

Oil and gas will remain the world's main energy source for a long time to come. Focusing on the oil and gas business, the Company will vigorously promote green and low-carbon development through adjusting its business structure, thus offering more clean energy sources. The Company is also actively transforming from an oil and gas producer and supplier to an integrated energy service provider.

Xiong'an New Area in Baoding, Hebei Province, is a state-level new area proposed by the State Council in 2017. It is of great significance for easing Beijing's non-capital functions, optimizing the urban layout in the Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei region, and fostering a new engine for the innovation-driven development. Accordingly, there are much stricter requirements for Xiong'an than other cities in terms of ecological protection and clean energy supply.

PetroChina proactively contributed to the construction of Xiong'an New Area through undertaking the "coal-to- gas" rural heating renovation project in 2019. This project benefits about 550,000 residents in 140,000 households with an area of 1,460 km2. It is expected to help save about 500,000 tons of coal annually, equivalent to reduction of about 1.5 million tons of wood. Local residents entered the "gas era", accessing clean, safe and convenient natural gas.

Efficient completion of "coal-to-gas" project

The "coal-to-gas" project involves the vast countryside, where the geographical environment is relatively complex and the village infrastructure is weak. It corresponds to many risk points, a large work quantity, and a high time pressure. Nevertheless, through scientific coordination and efficient operation, PetroChina completed the coal-to-gas switch in just four months. Ultimately, the whole Xiong'an New Area can enjoy clean gas via the medium-pressure pipeline network connecting the high-pressure gas pipelines such as the Baxian-Baoding Pipeline and the Wen'an-Xiongxian Pipeline.

Provision of smart and safe services

PetroChina installed domestically advanced smart gas meters, which can simultaneously realize functions such as the remote transmission of operation data, automatic uploading of user information and mobile payment. Safety was ensured by the installation of gas alarm devices for each household.

Increased gas supply

To further satisfy gas demand in the Xiong'an New Area, PetroChina increased the supply of natural gas to the area by 150 million cubic meters.

"Gas is much better! We can use it for heating, cooking and bathing. The heating can be set automatically at a constant temperature, liberating us from adding coal at midnight. Gas is more convenient, cleaner, and greener! After deducting the subsidies, the cost is more or less the same as that for using coal. Thank you!"

Oil Product Quality Upgrading

We optimize the energy consumption structure by upgrading refined products. In 2019, we completed upgrading to National VIA gasoline and National VI diesel as scheduled, and realized stable supply. We developed four National VI clean gasoline production technologies, which could effectively support the upgrading of gasoline quality. Since January 2019, PetroChina has delivered 300,000 tons of National VI gasoline and diesel daily to 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) and the Hong Kong SAR of China, gradually increasing the proportion of clean energy in the market. In 2019, PetroChina supplied 110.299 million tons of oil products (gasoline and diesel) domestically, accounting for 33.5 % of the China market.

New Energy and Alternative Energy

We take new energy and alternative energy as new drivers for the low-carbon transition. In 2019, we worked actively on new energy and alternative energy, including geothermal energy, bio-fuels, solar energy, uranium ore, and charging (battery exchange) stations. In particular, we accelerated the development and applications related to geothermal technologies and underground coal gasification. The Company carried out a study on the future development of hydrogen business.

Case Study: High-quality Construction of China-Russia East Natural Gas Pipeline

The China-Russia East Natural Gas Pipeline is invested and constructed by PetroChina Pipeline Co., Ltd., in which PetroChina Company Limited holds a 72.26% stake. This pipeline runs from Heilongjiang Province to Shanghai for a total of 3,371 km (including the newly constructed trunk and branch lines). Construction of the Pipeline is divided into three sections: Heihe-Changling,Changling-Yongqing, and Yongqing-Shanghai. The Heihe-Changling section was put into operation in 2019.

Ensure clean energy supply

Once it is fully operational, the China-Russia East Natural Gas Pipeline is expected to deliver 38 billion cubic meters annually by 2025 and maintain the throughput thereafter. The pipeline will transport gas from Russia, through nine provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) within China, to Northeast China, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yangtze River Delta, thereby contributing clean and high-quality energy to the construction of a beautiful China.

Optimize regional gas consumption structure

The Heihe-Changling section connects with existing gas pipelines network such as the Harbin- Shenyang Gas Pipeline and the Qinhuangdao- Shenyang Gas Pipeline. As a result, the regional gas consumption structure can be further optimized to form multiple supply channels, which is of great significance to ensure clean energy supply.

Green construction

For the purpose of environmental protection, the Heihe-Changling section was constructed through a narrower mechanical operation zone, with less deforestation. Moreover, backfilling and vegetation restoration were conducted in a timely manner. Culvert, shield crossing and other techniques were adopted to protect the "green waters and green mountains" in environmentally sensitive areas such as rivers, lakes, forests, roads and bridges.

The gas supply is estimated to be 5 billion cubic meters in 2020.

It will later build up at the volume of 5-10 billion cubic meters per year.

The gas supply will reach

38 billion cubic meters by 2025 and this will be maintained in the long term.

Case Study: Wang Qimin, the "People's Model" and "Superb Striver"

Wang Qimin, formerly President Assistant and Deputy Chief Geologist of Daqing Company, took the lead or was involved in eight major development pilot projects and over 40 research projects. He has won 19 awards, including the National Special Prize on Science & Technology Progress Award and the National Special Prize of the Science & Technology Achievement Award.

His achievements are outstanding . The Efficient Water Injection Method overrides the popular moderate water injection in China and inaugurated a new solution to stabilize production in oilfields with middle to low water cut. The

development mode of "separate-layer exploitation, and production stabilization in alternative manner" increased water flooding recovery by 10%~15% during the production test. The research on untabulated reservoir development implied the addition of 740 million tons of geological reserves for Daqing Oilfield. The new super-high molecular polymer flooding has contributed benefits close to RMB 300 million.

In 2019, Wang was honored as the "People's Model" by the Standing Committee of National People's Congress and the "Superb Striver" by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee.

"I've done but one thing all my life, that is how to best develop the Daqing Oilfield", says Wang Qimin.

TARGETED POVERTY ALLEVIATION

Poverty alleviation is a major issue for global sustainable development and also one of our key concerns. We have responded positively to the initiatives of the United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to the Chinese government's policies on poverty alleviation targeted at the improvement of people's livelihoods, industrial development, intellectual development and medical care. By leveraging our strengths in terms of industrial resources, we have taken targeted measures to help areas receive assistance to enhance their self-development capacity and promote the sustainable development of the local economy.

In 2019, together with CNPC, we continued to carry out selected poverty alleviation and aid programs. We implemented nearly 70 targeted poverty alleviation projects, typically involving industrial cooperation, featured tourism, photovoltaic power generation and education/training, in 13 counties/ districts in seven provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) of China, such as Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Chongqing, Henan, Jiangxi and Guizhou. These projects benefited tens of thousands of people.

Among 10 targeted counties, eight were removed from the list of poverty-stricken counties, and the remaining two will get out of poverty in 2020.

152million RMB

We contributed RMB 152 million to poverty alleviation (73% more than in 2018) and implemented nearly 70 alleviation projects.

Case study: Village Tourism Projects were Implemented for Poverty Alleviation

In 2017, the "PetroChina Model Village Tourism for Poverty Alleviation Project" was initiated in three counties, namely, Xishui County of Guizhou Province, and Taiqian County and Fan County of Henan Province, where the tourism resources are rich. Under the project, PetroChina invests in building featured homestays to help the counties develop the tertiary industry in form of cooperatives, and ultimately form an industrial system integrating multiple sectors such as plantation, processing, tourism, cultural creation and resorts. As October 2019, the projects in Taiqian County and Fan County have been officially operational and made a profit of nearly RMB 300,000.

These projects have driven local development and improved the living standards of the villagers.

● According to local conditions, the idle houses in villages were reconstructed into boutique homestays, while the rural landscape was reserved if practical.

	● Village infrastructure was improved to upgrade the living conditions of villagers.
	● Sales of local agricultural products increased with the improvement of the
	environment and the enrichment of tourist products.

Case Study: Eco-Forest Project for Poverty Alleviation

Since 2018, PetroChina has donated RMB 12 million to help Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, Xinjiang, build an eco-forest with an area of 6,000 mu. The project created job opportunities for poor families in the county. Poverty alleviation achievements were further consolidated along with ecological and environmental management.

By the end of 2019, the project had yielded economic benefits, providing stable employment to 120 people from poor families and an annual income of RMB 12,000 per capita. When the trees bear fruit in five years, 10% of the revenue from the sales of the fruits will be distributed to poor households.

Rehemaitijiang Ayiwahong is an example who got out of poverty by contracting fruit trees. In addition to the monthly income of RMB 1,000, he enjoys the tree custody fee of RMB 12,000 annually by contracting another 50 mu of fruit trees.

Case Study: Women's Empowerment & Value Fulfillment

Women serve as the most important potential driving force of poverty alleviation and rural development in poor areas. PetroChina provides them with proper skill training and job opportunities, and helps them and their families achieve a better life.

Migrant female workers returned to work in hometowns to better care for their families

Since 2016, PetroChina has implemented the "Where is My Mum Going" project in Guanshan Village, Yaojia Township, Hengfeng County, Jiangxi Province. Under this project, PetroChina invests in building a seedling cultivation cooperative, creating intensive light-labor job opportunities for women locally. Female employees are allowed to come to work one hour later and leave work one hour earlier for the convenience of taking care of the children and seniors of their families.

So far, more and more women working outside have returned to the village for work under the project. By the end of 2019, the cooperative provided employment to over 80 women, who had an average annual income of RMB 5,000 to RMB 10,000.

Helped the housewives transform into working women

In some rural areas, conservative family values mean that they would rather suffer poverty than allow women to go out to work. Our investigation indicated that Talanchi Food Factory in Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, was suitable for women's employment, and therefore we donated food processing equipment to this factory from 2014 and expanded its production.

PetroChina helped local women to work happily, easily and confidently by helping them change their traditional values. As the factory expands, a growing number of local women are working independently and confidently.

Women trained with skills for a better life

Many women from poor families are less educated and less skilled when it comes to gaining employment. Considering that maternity matrons are in huge

demand, with low entry threshold, ideal payment and opportunities, PetroChina initiated the "Angelical Maternity Matrons" project from 2016 to help local women improve their nursery skills and gain more employment opportunities.

By the end of 2019, 118 women in four counties, including Xishui County of Guizhou Province, Hengfeng County of Jiangxi Province, Fan County and Taiqian County of Henan Province, were trained for housekeeping and taking care of babies.

"I can earn more than RMB 10,000 every year by working at my hometown now. My husband can work in other places easily. Our family income is growing and our family life is getting better and better. We are really grateful to the government and PetroChina for the great policy support. We are happy and confident about our livelihood now and in the future."

Case Study: Changqing Oilfield Spurs on Local Economy

While developing its own capability, Changqing Oilfield builds a new type of relationship with local enterprises/ governments based on mutual benefits, win-win and sharing, with Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and other provinces/regions. In this way, Changqing Oilfield is committed to improving the local economy, thereby bringing benefits to local people.

Radiating to local economy

Changqing Oilfield has played an increasingly prominent role in driving the development of the local economy. The development of oil and gas resources spurs the fast rise of the local petrochemical, power generation and refinery sectors, which in turn become the pillar industry in local areas. The large-scale capacity construction and market- oriented mode of operation have attracted more than 350 local private enterprises and 100,000 people, facilitating the rapid development of local sectors such as labor, building materials, logistics and manufacturing, as well as production and services.

Driving related sectors with poverty-alleviation projects

Since 2017, Changqing Oilfield has contributed in aggregate RMB 183 million in Longdong oil area to implement 75 alleviation projects including road construction, environmental rehabilitation, rural water supply and rural school building. These projects have driven the development of related sectors in local areas, such as drilling/ production engineering, downhole operations, and transportation, creating nearly 20,000 jobs and achieving an average annual income of RMB 40,000 per capita.

OVERSEAS COMMUNITY CONSTRUCTION

We respect the cultures and conventions of the host countries in which we operate, and we are committed to establishing long-term and stable cooperative relations with the host countries. We proactively integrate our operations with local socioeconomic growth to create economic and social value.

Case Study: A Village-level Town was Formed through Meeting the Community's

Requirements

Gudawa, which is close to the Ronier Oilfield in Chad, was a small village with a population of less than 500, and without satisfactory and sufficient living infrastructure such as roads, school and water supply. In the dry season, villagers had to relocate to places close to the water source, which made them suffer an unstable life, lacking a decent education or better livelihood.

PetroChina took over the Ronier Oilfield in 2011. Since then, the Company's public relations department visited local communities to understand their needs. For clean drinkable water, PetroChina drilled 49 wells, benefiting 25,000 residents in 39 villages nearby including Gudawa. Moreover, PetroChina constructed the main road in Gudawa and a primary public school accommodating 300 students in six grades. The oilfield development also created job opportunities for local people - up to 969 people in total.

The prosperity of Gudawa, typically the water wells and school, have attracted numerous people from other villages.

Now, Gudawa has developed into a village-level town with more than 10,000 residents. The residents highly appraise

PetroChina's contribution, and the head of Gudawa sent a letter of thanks for PetroChina's great support.

INVESTOR FAQS

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Q1 The International Maritime Organization (IMO) will impose a much lower limit for sulfur content in bunker fuel oil in 2020. How will PetroChina be affected?

Q2 How does PetroChina ensure the safety and environmental protection of the supply chain?

Q3 How does PetroChina keep aligned with China's commitments to reducing carbon emissions?

PetroChina makes great efforts on the production of low-sulfur bunker fuel oil. In 2019, our nine regional companies worked out the formula of low-sulfur bunker fuel oil and put it into trial production. The produced low-sulfur bunker fuel oil has been successfully tested in ocean vessels. As the IMO imposes the new limit and the Chinese government provides relevant incentives, especially the tax refund policy that has been further clarified, we will improve the capacity of low-sulfur bunker fuel oil based on our own low-sulfur crude oil, addressing demand in the international shipping market while optimizing the structure of our refined products.

Safety is our core corporate value. We integrate it into all aspects of our production and operation. All our contractors and suppliers shall perform their corporate social responsibilities, and work and act safely in line with applicable quality and safety standards and rules. We follow meticulous procedures to select contractors and suppliers, provide them with relevant training, and make process control and assessment, to ensure the safety of our supply chain. The Supply Chain Safety Management Process is given in Section 2, Chapter 3 of the 2019 ESG Report.

We make great efforts to build a green development system that covers all aspects of the industry chain. We request and procure our suppliers to provide more reliable products and environment-friendly materials. Our progress in supply chain management in 2019 is described in Section 4, Chapter 1 of the 2019 ESG Report.

China signed the Paris Agreement, clearly committing that, by around 2030, it would: (a) achieve a peak in carbon dioxide emissions and make best efforts to peak early; (b) lower carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 60% to 65% from the 2005 level; (c) increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20%, and (d) increase the forest stock volume by around 4.5 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level. To drive the low-carbon transition, PetroChina has issued plans on low-carbon and green development in the past two years, promoting green development in aspects such as energy supply-side, energy consumption and new energies, and supporting China's commitments to voluntary emissions reduction.

In view of Commitment (a) above, PetroChina will exercise rigorous control over carbon dioxide emissions by way of improving energy efficiency, fully introducing clean fuels, reinforcing controls over greenhouse gas and implementing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). With these measures, we expect to lower CO2 equivalent emissions per unit of operating revenue by 25% from the 2015 level by 2020. We firmly understand that increasing the share of clean energy in the primary energy mix is the foremost means to fulfill the commitment to the Paris Agreement, so we are always devoted to increasing the supply of clean energy such as natural gas. In China's primary energy mix, the share

Q4 What is the policy adopted by PetroChina on recycling drilling fluid and what progress has been made?

Q5 What measures has PetroChina taken to safeguard work safety?

of natural gas rose from 5.9% in 2015 to 8.3% in 2019, of which 61.9% was contributed by PetroChina. By 2020, our oil-gas equivalent production ratio will reach 1:1 domestically.

In view of non-fossil fuels and forest stock volume, PetroChina has developed a new energy plan covering biomass energy (fuel ethanol and biodiesel), geothermal energy, solar energy and wind energy, pursuant to which, by 2030, non-fossil energy will take a much higher share of PetroChina's primary energy production and become an important contributor to China's new energy sector. Besides, PetroChina will contribute to the growth of forest stock volume nationwide by way of implementing greening projects in production bases, assisting the China Green Carbon Foundation and carrying out ecological programs for poverty alleviation.

We attach much importance to the recycling of drilling fluid. We innovate methods in the disposal of water- or oil-based drilling fluid waste to enable them to be reused more effectively and efficiently. At Changqing Oilfield, Huabei Oilfield and Dagang Oilfield, the technology of processing water-based drilling fluid on ground while drilling is widely applied, so that the fluid phase from solid-liquid separation is 100% recycled. In Tarim Oilfield and Changning-Zhaotong Shale Gas Zone, LRET oil-based mud reuse technology was applied, obtaining oil content in debris of less than 1%. In 2019, PetroChina reduced drilling waste by more than 4.8 million tons and oily sludge and oil-splattered plastic cloth by 274,000 tons.

Going forward, we will further uphold the new concept of clean production to exercise "well site-closed"whole-process control and create a clean drilling mode featuring a standardized drilling site, green source, simplified process, resources-oriented terminal and well-integrated facilities.

We integrate the concept of work safety into all aspects of our production and operation. We promote the long-term mechanism of safe production and improve management of work safety.

We maintain a prevention mechanism integrating risk control and rectifying hazards, which is mainly manifested in risk prevention and control by levels and closed-loop management of hazards, in order to prevent risks and hazards from escalating. We maintained strict management of critical areas of high-risk and dangerous operations. We conduct diagnosis and management evaluation of safety and environmental measures in key enterprises, major projects and high-risk areas to ensure that major risks are controllable and under control.

When any accident/incident occurs during production and operation which causes personal casualties or direct economic losses, we conduct an immediate investigation in accordance with the Administration Measures for Safety Incidents, and define the accountability of liable persons; we learn the lessons of such accidents/incidents in order to avoid any re-occurrence.

We deeply investigate and consider relevant international standards such as the TCFD recommendations as well as the best practices of our peers in the industry, facilitating our low-carbon transition and addressing investors' concerns. We will work further on matters relating to climate change and identify the impact of climate change on our business. The major climate-change- related risks identified by PetroChina and our responses are described in Section 2, Chapter 2 of the 2019 ESG Report.

We grant awards to the collectives and individuals of the Company with outstanding performance in response to climate change and environmental protection, and also provide rewards and protection to individuals whistle-blowing with regard to any violations of or failure to comply with environmental laws or regulations. Environmental protection performance as a KPI index is included in the performance appraisal of senior management of the Company and senior managers of regional companies, and the accountability system for environmental protection performance and the lifelong accountability system for ecological damage have been put in place.

We encourage regional companies to stay actively engaged in technical research and international cooperation in low-carbon areas. Phase I and II of PetroChina's Major Project for Key Low-Carbon Technologies were initiated in 2011 and 2015 respectively, enhancing our competitiveness in low-carbon development.

We have a lot of businesses in Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. To effectively support the government's efforts in the Greater Bay Area and seize the opportunities for energy companies, we have initiated the Planning for Coordinating PetroChina's Business Development in Guangdong-Hong Kong-MacaoGreater Bay Area. Through this, we expect to secure the supply of clean, efficient, green and low-carbon energy to the Greater Bay Area, and at the same time seek opportunities for innovative development and cooperation by virtue of momentum-gathering factors, such as world-class megacities in the Greater Bay Area, exchange and cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong-Macao,innovation-driven development, the forefront of reform and opening-up, a new platform for international economic cooperation, and a milestone in pushing ahead the Belt and Road Initiative.

PetroChina keeps expanding partnerships worldwide and its involvement in the local economy and society. We are dedicated to creating jobs and contributing to local stability and prosperity through cooperating with local oil and gas companies, and pay taxes according to law, striving to be a good corporate citizen in local areas.

In Iraq, we brought sophisticated and applicable management and technical knowhow along with equipment and facilities to join hands with local partners in contributing to Iraq's national vision of restoring and boosting its oil industry. We managed to stay ahead of schedule in the production capacity building of projects we are involved in, which accelerated the revitalization of the Iraqi oil industry. We proceeded with pilot tests of water flooding in huge carbonate reservoirs and effectively applied such advanced technologies as cluster well and multilateral horizontal well to boost the fast development and production of oilfields. Typically, the Halfaya project met the target of producing 70,000 barrels/day 15 months ahead of the timeline under the contract; the Rumaila project met the target of a 10% increase in its output 2 years ahead, recording the highest output over the past 30 years. We are active in pushing ahead with the localization of business operations by providing more training to local employees and promoting more Iraqi employees to important managerial, professional and operating posts, which amount to 72.9% at the Halfaya project and 93.65% at the Rumaila project. We prioritize business partnerships with local companies and lead Iraqi contractors to build a construction system up to international standards, playing an indispensable role in the development of Iraq's oil industry. We have established emergency committees for all of our projects in Iraq, comprising local government, local oil companies, heads of local communities and operator representatives, in order to enhance communication with local employees and communities and scale up our participation in welfare activities.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)

New energy

Low-carbon economy

Greenhouse gas (GHG)

Carbon sequestration

HSE management system

Oils (mineral oil)

Chemical oxygen demand

(COD)

Liquefied natural gas is produced by dewatering, deacidifying, dehydrating and fractionating the natural gas produced from a gas field and then turning it into liquid under low temperatures and high pressure.

New energy refers to unconventional energy and renewable energies, mainly including CBM, shale gas, oil sands, oil shale, fuel ethanol, biodiesel, geothermal energy, wind energy, solar energy, hydrogen energy, water-soluble gas and NGH.

A low-carbon economy is an economic development model characterized by low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions. Its essence is efficient energy consumption, development of clean energy and pursuit of green GDP. The core of this model is the optimization of the industrial structure, low-carbon technology and institutional innovation. A low-carbon economy is developed by means of energy conservation, emissions reduction and the development of clean energy.

Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb solar radiation from the surface and then emit radiation, such as water vapor, CO2, and most refrigerants. Their effect is making the Earth's surface warmer, as the "greenhouse effect" sequestrates solar radiation and increases the temperature of the air. Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere mainly include CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCS, PFCS and SF6.

Also refers to carbon sinks. It is the process, activity and mechanism to remove carbon dioxide from the air. Generally, it indicates the capability of forests to absorb and store carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is artificially sequestrated in biological forms in plants and the soil through forestation, forest management, and other forest carbon sequestration measures.

HSE is the acronym of the health, safety and environment management system. The HSE management system is an integration of various elements such as organizational structures, mandates, practices, procedures, processes and resources used for health, safety and environment management. The advanced, scientific and systematic integration and operation of these elements create the mutually reinforcing, supportive and interactive and dynamic management system.

Compounds of hydrocarbons in wastewater. These include all substances collected by certain solvents, as well as all substances extracted by solvents from acidified samples, which remained fixed during the extracting process.

Chemical oxygen demand is the quantity of strong oxidant consumed to process water samples. It serves as a comprehensive index of pollutants in wastewater and their impact on the environment. A higher COD represents the heavier pollution of reductive substances in the water body.

Major accidents refer to accidents that cause deaths above 10 but below 30, or grievous harm to people numbering above 50 but below 100, or economic losses worth above RMB 50 million but below RMB 100 million.

Emergency accidents refer to sudden emergent accidents which result in or may result in serious casualties, and/or damage to property, the environment, society and public safety. Emergency accidents faced by PetroChina include four types, namely natural disasters, accidents, public health and social security.

Diseases caused by exposure to dust, radioactive substances and other toxic and hazardous substances to employees working for enterprises, institutions and private organizations.

A series of health examinations for professionals in an industry aimed at preventing occupational health threats and improving the health of employees. Occupational health surveillance includes occupational health checks, management of occupational health archives, etc.

Physical examination of workers exposed to occupational health threats. The items and frequency of checks should be determined by the category of health threats, and by stipulations in the Items and Frequencies of Occupational Health Checks. These include checks before, during and at the end of a worker's assignment, as well as emergency checks.

The annual ratio between the numbers of workers exposed to occupational threats who have taken occupational health checks and the total number of workers who should receive such checks.

Stakeholders are groups and individuals that are able to impact the accomplishment of corporate goals, or groups and individuals that are impacted by corporate goals, including the natural environment, future generations, and non-human specifies that are directly or indirectly affected by corporate business activities.

Generally, this refers to mining zones recovered, being recovered or to be recovered. It includes several regions covering mines and open mines equipped with utilities like production processes, ground transportation, power supply, telecommunication scheduling, production management and living services.

A community is an administrative jurisdiction within which a group of people live in a fixed geographical area, fulfilling their social functions and creating social norms. It is at the same administrative level as an administrative village.
