ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES<br />

Site restoration provision<br />

Amounts used in recording a provision for site restoration are<br />

estimates based on current legal and constructive requirements<br />

and current technology and price levels for the removal of facilities<br />

and plugging and abandoning of wells. Due to changes in relation<br />

to these items, the future actual cash outfl ows in relation to the site<br />

decommissioning and restoration can be diff erent. To refl ect the<br />

eff ects due to changes in legislation, requirements and technology<br />

and price levels, the carrying amounts of site restoration provisions<br />

are reviewed on a regular basis.<br />

The eff ects of changes in estimates do not give rise to prior year<br />

adjustments and are dealt with prospectively over the estimated<br />

remaining commercial reserves of each fi eld. While the Group uses<br />

its best estimates and judgment, actual results could diff er from<br />

these estimates.<br />

Events after the balance sheet date<br />

All events up to the date when the fi nancial statements were<br />

authorised for issue and which have a material eff ect in the<br />

fi nancial statements have been disclosed.<br />
