Galp is committed to monitoring the evolution of best practice on the prevention of corruption risk in order to achieve continuous improvements. The Policy lists the principles in line with the values that guide the Code of Ethics and Conduct. The Standard approved in 2018 establishes rules for the prevention, detection and responses to the risk of corruption in Galp group, developing what is set out in the Code of Ethics and Conduct and the Corruption Prevention Policy, in line with Galp's values, the legal and regulatory obligations to which Galp and its employees are subject, the specific corruption risks Galp faces in the course of its activities in the various geographies in which it operates.
A regulatory standard that operationally implements the Corruption Prevention Policy was also approved and implemented, containing such standards and procedures related to the realization or acceptance of offers, the performance of third-party integrity verification and the reporting of irregularities related to corruption.
This standard has the purpose of preventing, avoiding, reporting and treating conflicts of interests of Galp employees, as well as their partners, in an ethical and responsible way.

Galp also performs compliance due diligence procedures on its most relevant business partners, service providers and suppliers prior to entering into transactions with them, in order to ensure that such entities also have appropriate and effective policies and procedures related to the prevention of Corruption and Bribery.
During 2019, 240 counterparties were assessed by our internal integrity verification systems. In four cases significant risks were identified and therefore negotiations with such counterparties were terminated.
465 prior assessment processes of the realisation and/or receipt of offers involving Galp employees were also conducted.

Total proved reserves (1P) on 31 December 2019, 2018 and 2017 which are presented in the tables below, include developed and undeveloped proved reserves. These reserves were determined by the independent entity DeGolyer and MacNaughton (DeMac), whose methodology is in accordance with the PMRS, approved in March 2007 and revised in June 2018 by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the World Petroleum Council (WPC), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers.
Proven reserves are the quantities of oil that, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in accordance with defined economic considerations, operational methods, and government regulations.
Proven reserves include estimated quantities related to production sharing contracts (PSC) that are reported under the net entitlement method, which is subject to fluctuations in commodity prices and recoverable costs, as well as royalty regime.
As required by Topic 932, the economic limit of reserves is based on the average prices of the last 12 months and current costs. The economic cut-off date affects the reserve estimate. Therefore, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved reserves may also change.
The reference price used to determine the Company's net entitlement reserves, which are those to be developed as per the agreements signed for the exploration and production activity, was \$64.3/bbl, \$71.0/bbl and \$54.3/bbl and corresponds to the average market price of Brent for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Reserves associated with blocks in Brazil correspond to 100% of the stake held by Petrogal Brasil in those blocks, since this company is fully consolidated in the Group's accounts.
The impacts of PSC (price effect and/or change in recoverable costs) in reserves associated with this type of agreements are reflected in the caption "Revisions of previous estimates".

The standard measure of discounted future cash flows has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Topic 932 of FASB and corresponds to an economic translation of the 1P proved reserves presented in the previous section by the independent entity DeGolyer and MacNaughton (DeMac).
Future cash inflows represent future revenues associated with the production of proved reserves, calculated by applying the average market price of Brent during 2019: \$64.3/bbl.
Future production costs correspond to the estimated production costs associated with proved reserves.
Future royalties are estimated considering production revenue.
Future development and abandonment costs correspond to the estimated costs for the development of proved reserves (drilling and installation of production platforms), as well as the estimated costs of field abandonment.
Future income taxes include estimates of oil tax payable in Africa calculated according to the existing PSC (applicable to blocks in Africa and calculated according to the PSA); SPT (applicable to blocks in Brazil) and income taxes, according to tax laws in each country.
The cash flows were calculated in U.S. Dollars and translated into Euros at the average exchange rate of 2019 (1.1196 €:\$).

The principles applied are those required by Topic 932 and do not reflect the expectations of the actual revenues of the reserves nor their present value, and thus do not constitute criteria for investment decision. An estimate of the fair value of reserves should also take into account, among other variables, the recovery of reserves not currently classified as proved, the risks inherent in the estimation of reserves, the expectation of future hydrocarbons price variation and the cost structure, as well as the consideration of an adequate discount factor.
In addition to the Payments stated in this Report, Galp contributes to the economies of the countries in which it operates through other activities on the extractive activity side by making payments to Public Administrations - for example in relation to activities related to the transportation, trading, manufacturing and marketing of products derived from oil and gas. Additionally, Galp contributes to the economies of the countries in which operates by creating employment opportunities, purchasing products and services from local suppliers and undertaking social investment activities.
This Report provides an overview of the Payments (defined below) to Public Administrations (defined below) made by Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A., and its subsidiary undertakings (hereinafter together referred to as "Galp"), covering the full year 2019, whenever such companies make payments as a result of their activities of exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of oil, natural gas deposits or other materials (referred to as "Extractive activities").
This report has been prepared in compliance with the provisions of Article 245-B of the Portuguese Securities Code and its contents in line with the provisions of chapter 10 of the Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding the annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and related reports of certain types of undertakings, transposed into Portuguese law through Decree-Law No. 98/2015 of 2 June (herein together referred to as the "applicable legislation").
This Report includes payments to Public Administrations made by Galp. Excluded from this Report are Payments made by entities over which Galp has joint control and Payments made by entities over which Galp has no operatorship.
For the purposes of this report, Public Administrations include any national, regional or local authority of a European Union Member State or of a third country, and includes any department, agency or entity that is a subsidiary thereof, which includes a national oil company.
Payments are reported at project level except payments which are not attributable to a specific project are reported at entity level.
A "Project" is defined as a set of operational activities which are governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement, and forms the basis for payment liabilities to a Public Administration. If such agreements are substantially interconnected, they are to be treated as a single project.
For a fully integrated Project, which does not have an contractual cut off point where a value can be ascribed separately to Extractive activities and to other processing activities, payments to Public Administrations will be disclosed in full.
For the purposes of this Report, a Payment is an amount paid in cash or in kind under the following forms:
Include the host government's share of production in the reporting period, derived from projects operated by Galp. This includes the government's share as a sovereign entity or through its participation as an equity or interest holder in projects within its sovereign jurisdiction (home country). Production Entitlements arising from activities or interests outside of the home country are excluded.
For the year ended 31 December 2019, there were no production entitlements arising from projects Operated by Galp.
Taxes paid by Galp on its income, profits or production (which include petroleum income tax in Angola or Corporate income
Tax and Special Participation in Brazil), including those settled by a Public Administration on behalf of Galp under a tax-paid concession. Payments are reported net of refunds. Excluded from this Report are the Taxes on transactions and on consumption (including but not limited to Value Added Taxes), personal income taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes.
These are payments for the rights to extract oil and gas resources, typically set at a percentage of revenue less any deductions that may be taken.
These are usually paid upon signing an agreement or a contract, when a commercial discovery of oil and gas is declared, or production has commenced or another milestone has been reached.
Taxes and other Fees paid as consideration for acquiring a license to gain access to an area where Extractive Activities are performed. Excluded from this Report are any Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to Extractive Activities, or to access extractive resources.
Payments which relate to the construction of infrastructure not substantially dedicated to use in Extractive Activities.
When Galp makes a Payment directly to a Public Administration arising from a Project, the full amount paid is disclosed, even where Galp, as operator, is proportionally reimbursed by its nonoperating venture partners through a billing process (cash-call).
Payments are reported on a cash basis, meaning that they are reported during the period in which they are paid, as opposed to being reported on an accruals basis (which would mean that they would be reported in the period for which the liabilities arise).
This Report includes all types of Payments to Public Administrations, either on a single payment basis or as part of a series of related payments, provided that these are above €100,000.
For the purposes of this Report, Payments made in currencies other than Euros are translated based on the annual average foreign exchange rate.

All members of the Audit Board meet the compatibility criteria for the performance of their duties as laid down in paragraph 1 of Article 414-A of the CSC.
The main duties of the Audit Board stemming from the applicable legislation and the respective regulations refer to the following key areas:
a) Continuous monitoring of the Company's activities, monitoring compliance with the law and Bylaws, and overseeing the Company's management;

During 2019, the Audit Board, elected at the Annual General Meeting on 12 April 2019, held eight meetings and implemented various measures in the course of its duties, of which the following are highlighted:
Ongoing monitoring of the Company during 2019 was undertaken, in particular, through meetings with the heads of Galp's central corporate divisions, most regularly the Internal Audit Department, the Risk Management Department and the Legal & Governance Department. Further, the Audit Board met with the CFO and the teams responsible for some of the IT projects to obtain information related to the Company's activities.
The Audit Board also met regularly with the Statutory Auditor/ External Auditor and the head of the Accounts Department, to analyze the Company's accounts.
Further, during 2019, the Audit Board attended all meetings of the Board of Directors where the Company's accounts were analysed, the strategic lines of Galp were debated and updated, the budget for 2020 and the business plan for 2020-2025 was approved the objectives and levels related to risk-taking were defined, as well as the works developed by its committees were presented.
At the Board of Directors' meeting that took place on December 13, 2019, the Audit Board gave favourable opinions on the strategy update process presented by the Board of Directors under the 2020-2025 business plan.

During 2019, the Audit Board carried out various actions aimed at monitoring, supervising and evaluating the work and adequacy of Galp's internal control, risk management and internal audit systems, either based on the reporting of information by the Internal Audit and Risk Management departments, or using the internal control report issued by the External Auditor.
As part of its supervisory duties, the Audit Board was also charged with supervising the implementation by the Company of the principles and policies for the identification and management of key financial and operational risks associated with Galp's business, as well as reviewing the measures in place to monitor, control and disclose the risks, in accordance with the objectives established by the Board of Directors.
The Audit Board took regular notice of the activities pursued by the Risk Management Committee created within the Board of Directors on 12 April 2019.
At the Board of Directors' meeting that took place on 13 December 2019, the Audit Board issued a favourable opinion on the risk management policy implemented at Galp, considering it adequate for Galp's risk level.
The Audit Board supervised the activity carried out by the Internal Audit Department during 2019, through monthly monitoring of the execution of the respective annual audit activities plan approved by the Audit Board and information on the allocation of resources, having received reports from this Department. periodic reports on the audits carried out.
The Internal Audit Department verified that the risk management, internal control and internal audit systems were functioning properly and assessed the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of control and mitigation systems. These activities were carried out independently and systematically, and the most significant comments and recommendations were brought to the attention of the Audit Board, together with opportunities for improvement and corrective measures.
The Audit Board also believe that the Internal Audit Department's plan of activities, assessment of the system of internal control and the use of the resources allocated was performed efficiently and in compliance with the established procedures.
The Audit Board became aware of the execution of the work in the compliance area provided for in the plan and approved the annual plan of compliance activities for the next year presented by the Department of Legal Affairs and Governance and obtained information on the allocation of resources to compliance services.
The Chairman of the Audit Board participated in the Audit Board meeting held on November 20, 2019, as part of the presentation of the Annual Audit Plan for 2020.
The Audit Board, at its meeting on 6 February, carried out an annual assessment of the External Auditor's activity.
The Auditor's services were provided in accordance with the defined work plan, having complied with the applicable rules and regulations and revealed in its performance technical rigor and quality, opportunity and efficiency in the conclusions and recommendations presented.
The External Auditor confirmed to the Audit Board that it had not detected any relevant irregularities in relation to its duties and that it had not encountered any difficulties whilst carrying out its duties.
During 2019, the Auditor was present at 3 meetings held by the Audit Board since he was elected on April 12, 2019, in which company accounts were analysed, internal control issues were debated, and audit risks were analysed identified.
The Audit Board exercised its role as the Company's interlocutor with the Auditor and as the recipient of the information prepared by him, regularly monitoring its activity, namely through the assessment of reports and documentation produced in the performance of the Auditor's duties.
The Audit Board ensured that the Auditor was provided with the information and other conditions appropriate to the effective performance of its activity.
As part of verifying the External Auditor's compliance with the rules regarding independence, the Audit Board monitored, during 2019, the provision of non-audit services, for which a prior opinion of the Audit Board is necessary, having analysed compliance the Auditor's independence requirements, the possibility of any services provided by the Auditor and their inclusion in the legally established criteria, having confirmed that his independence was safeguarded.
Bearing in mind that the External Auditor's term began in 2019, the limit of 70% established by Article 4 (2) of EU Regulation No. 537/2014 (European Audit Regulation) is not applicable. In any case, it should be noted that in 2019 the distinct audit services represented 27.4% of the average fees paid to the Auditor in 2019 for the financial audit services provided to Galp and the entities under Galp's control in the same period (below) the limit of 70% established by Article 4 (2) of EU Regulation 537/2014).
During the year of 2019 no transaction made with related
parties was subject to prior opinion of the Audit Board.
In accordance with best corporate governance practice and the applicable market rules, as well as with the principles of fairness, correctness, honesty, transparency and integrity on the basis of which Galp conducts its business, the Galp Irregularity Reporting - Ethics Line Procedure, available on its website and through the Company intranet, governs the mechanism for reporting to the Audit Board, through Galp's Committee of Ethics and Conduct, any alleged irregularities or breaches of the Code of Ethics or the rules that constitute it or that deal with related matters in the fields of accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing, anti-corruption and banking and financial crime occurring at Galp Group companies.
During the course of 2019, Galp's Committee of Ethics and Conduct held periodic meetings with the Audit Board to report any communications received and assess which of these to escalate.
As part of the fultilment of the reporting obligation provided for in point 8 of Galp's Committee of Ethics and Conduct Regulations, this Committee presented to the Audit Board the annual report on the communications received in 2019, the procedures adopted and any actions/measures proposed.

To the Board of Directors
We were engaged by the Board of Directors of Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. ("Galp" or "Company") to perform a reasonable assurance engagement on the indicator identified below in the section "Responsibilities of the auditor" and a limited assurance engagement on the sustainability information also mentioned in that section, which integrate the sustainability information included in the Integrated Management Report 2019, for the year ended in December 31, 2019, prepared by the Company for the purpose of communicating its annual sustainability performance.
It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to prepare the sustainability information identified below in the section "Responsibilities of the auditor", included in the Integrated Management Report 2019, in accordance with the sustainability reporting guidelines "Global Reporting Initiative" version GRI Standards and with the instructions and criteria disclosed in the Integrated Management Report 2019, and the maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control to enable the adequately preparation of the mentioned information.
Our responsibility is to issue an assurance report, which is professional and independent, based on the procedures performed and specified in the paragraph below.
Our work was conducted in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) "Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information", issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board of the International Federation of Accountants and we have fulfilled other technical standards and recommendations issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors. These standards require that we plan and perform our work to obtain:

a) reasonable assurance on whether Galp's Carbon Footprint 2019 (scopes 1 and 2); and b) limited assurance on whether the remaining sustainability information 2019 (GRI indicators), is free from material misstatement.
Our limited assurance engagement also consisted in carrying out procedures with the objective of obtaining a limited level of assurance as to whether the Company applied, in the sustainability information included in the Integrated Management Report 2019, the GRI Standards guidelines.
For this purpose the above mentioned work included:
In addition, for the purpose of reasonable assurance work, we performed analytical and substantive tests, and based on defined materiality criteria we have verified the adequate application of reporting criteria defined by Company in the Carbon Footprint 2019 calculation, disclosed in the Integrated Management Report 2019.
In the limited assurance work, the procedures performed were more limited than those used in an engagement to obtain reasonable assurance and, therefore, less assurance was obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement.
We believe that the procedures performed provide an acceptable basis for our conclusion.
Independent Assurance Report Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. December 31, 2019 PwC 2 de 3
We apply the International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC1) and, accordingly, maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants and of the ethics code of the Institute of Statutory Auditors.
Based on the work performed, it is our opinion that the Galp's Carbon Footprint 2019 (scopes 1 and 2), identified above in the section "Responsibilities of the auditor", included in the Integrated Management Report 2019, for the year ended in December 31, 2019, was prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with GRI Standards requirements and with the instructions and criteria disclosed on it.
Based on the work performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the remaining sustainability information, identified above in the section "Responsibilities of the auditor", included in the Integrated Management Report 2019, for the year ended in December 31, 2019, was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with GRI Standards requirements and with the instructions and criteria disclosed on it, and that Galp has not applied, in the sustainability information included in the Integrated Management Report 2019, the GRI Standards, for the option "In accordance – Comprehensive".

Independent Assurance Report Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. December 31, 2019 PwC 3 de 3
Ratio between the number of working hours lost by absence and the maximum potential of working hours (number of employees x 21 days x 11 months x 8 hours).
Density expressed in API degrees, defined by the American Petroleum Institute by means of the following formula: API°= (141.5/g) – 131.5, where g is the density of the oil to 60°F (15.6 °C). This is the formula that is internationally used to establish the density of crude oil. The greater the API density, the lighter the crude oil.
Distillation of crude oil effected under atmospheric pressure, from which oil product fractions are produced (light oil, heavy oil, diesel fuels, and heavy products, for example). After suitable treatment, these fractions are the components of the finished products.
Carbon dioxide, colourless gas that is heavier than air, this being one of its natural components. Produced by certain natural processes, such as the carbon cycle, and by the complete burning contained in fossil fuels.
Power generation technology that allows the combined production of heat and electricity. The advantage of cogeneration is the capacity it has to take double advantage of the heat produced by burning the fuel for the generation of thermal energy for the generation of electricity. This process allows the same installation to comply with the heat (hot water or steam) and electricity needs of both industrial clients and urban settlements. This system improves the energy efficiency of the generation process and reduces use of the fuel.
The complexity of a refinery lies in its capacity to process crude oil and other raw materials and is measured by means of the complexity index, calculated separately by different organisations within the sector, such as energy sector consultants 360 Strategic execution Energy for a changing world To our stakeholders Strategic framework Solomon Associates and Nelson. A refinery's complexity index is calculated by attributing a complexity factor to each one of the refinery's units, which is based above all on the level of technology used in the construction of the unit, taking as a reference a crude oil primary distillation installation to which is attributed a complexity factor of 1.0. The complexity index of each unit is calculated by the multiplication of the complexity factor with the unit's capacity. The complexity of a refinery is equivalent to the weighted average of the complexity index of each one of its units, including the distillation units. A refinery with a complexity index of 10.0 is considered to be 10 times more complex than a refinery equipped with just crude oil atmospheric distillation, for the same quality of processed product.
These are quantities of oil that are estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations but are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable. This may happen for a variety of reasons. For example, maturity
issues (the discovery needs further appraisal in order to firm up the elements of the development plan); technological issues (new technology needs to be developed and tested for commercial production); or market-driven issues (sales contracts are not yet in place or the infrastructure needs to be developed in order to get the product to market). 2C contingent resources are those that are calculated based on the best estimate, while 3C resources correspond to the highest estimate, thus reflecting a larger level of uncertainty. Volumes that fall into this category cannot be referred to as reserves.
Set of various treatments (catalytic or thermal) where the principal reaction is effected on the carbon connections, with this having the possibility of being more or less deep due to the conditions imposed. This process is typically associated with the conversion of fuel oils in lesser fractions (diesel, gasoline and gases) and fuel oils that are more sophisticated from the perspective of their use. In a modern refinery, these processes have assumed a growing importance.
Transformation through a breaking down of the hydrocarbon molecules in long chains, with the objective of obtaining hydrocarbon molecules in shorter chains, thus increasing the proportion of lighter and more volatile products. Distinguishing between thermal cracking and catalytic cracking. Thermal cracking is only caused by the actions of heat and pressure. Catalytic cracking uses catalysers that, at the same temperature, allow a deeper and more selective transformation of fractions that could be heavier.
Price of shipments of Brent oil as announced by the price fixing agencies. This is the reference price for the vast majority of
crude oils sold in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and is one of the most important references for the prices on the spot market. Dated Brent oil is the light crude oil from the North Sea that, since July 2006, has included the Fortis and Oseberg branches. The crude mix has an average API density of approximately 38.9°.
A mix of liquid hydrocarbons destined for feeding compression ignition engines (Diesel cycle). The behaviour of diesel fuel depends on the temperatures at which it is used.
A method for separating (liquid or solid) substances by evaporation followed by condensation. Distillation may take place under atmospheric pressure or in a vacuum, depending on what products are desired. This process produces distillates.
Release of gases into the atmosphere. Within the context of climate change, the emissions include the release of greenhouse gases (GHG). A typical example is the release of CO₂ during the combusting of fuels.
GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company. This category includes emissions from combustion in boilers or furnaces located in facilities owned by the company or the fuel combustion from company's fleet vehicles, among others.
GHG emissions from the purchase of electricity, cold, heat or steam produced by other companies.
GHG emissions are an indirect consequence of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the company. This category includes emissions from activities related to the use of sold products, transportation, business
A floating, production, storage and offloading unit is a floating oil production system, built on a ship structure, with a capacity for oil and natural gas production processing, liquid storage and transfer of oil to tankers.
Floating natural gas liquefaction system, built on a ship structure, with a capacity for production, liquefaction and storage of liquefied natural gas. The stored product is exported through the transfer to LNG vessels.
A mix of hydrocarbons destined to be burnt in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power. There are various types of fuel oil, due to its viscosity, which conditions their use.
Fuel for automobiles equipped with motors that use the Otto cycle. This should comply with precise specifications concerning its physical and chemical qualities, of which the most important is resistance to self-inflammation.
Process of cracking with the use of hydrogen and under the action of catalysts that allows the conversion of less valuable, highboiling-point oil fractions into lighter, more valuable fractions. The hydrogen allows working at lower temperatures and greater selectivity and, therefore, produces better results. The products from the reaction are saturated compounds, which provide them with important stability qualities.
Fuel for jet motors used in aviation
Natural gas that is changed into its liquid state to enable transportation. Liquefaction is performed by a reduction in the temperature of the gas, to atmospheric pressure, to amounts of less than -160°C. The volume of the LNG is approximately 1/600 of the volume of natural gas.
Gaseous hydrocarbons, under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, and liquids, by raising the pressure or reduction of temperature, which can legally be transported and stored. The most common are propane and butane.
Products obtained by mixing one or more base oils and additives. This process obeys specific formulas due to the use of the lubricant. The percentage of additives in the lubricating oils reaches 40%. The lubricating oils have three main uses: automobiles, industry and marine.
Oil product fraction that is located between gases and oil. This is also a raw material in the petrochemical industry, from which cracking provides a large variety of products. This can also form part of the composition of engine gasoline (light naphtha) or,in the case of heavy naphtha, serve as a raw material for the production of reformate.
Mix of light hydrocarbons found in the subsoil, in which methane is present at a percentage of more than 70% volume. The composition of natural gas may vary depending upon the field in which it is produced and the processes of production, conditioning, processing and transport.
The production percentage of the rights for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in a concession following production- sharing agreements.
Quantities of oil that have, on a certain date, been estimated as potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations through future development projects. The estimation of a prospect's resources is subject to both commercial and technological uncertainties. Risked mean estimates prospective resources have a higher implied recovery probability than unrisked mean estimate resources. The quantities classified as prospective resources cannot be classified as contingent resources or reserves.
Under the definitions approved by the SPE and the WPC, proven reserves are those quantities of oil which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations.
If deterministic methods are used, the expression "reasonable certainty" is intended to express a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods
are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. The definition of current economic conditions should include relevant historical oil prices and associated costs. In general, reserves are considered proven if the commercial productivity of the reservoir is supported by actual production or formation tests. In this context, the term "proven" refers to the actual quantities of oil reserves and not just the productivity of the well or reservoir. The area of the reservoir considered as proven includes (1) the area delineated by drilling and defined by fluid contacts, if any, and (2) the undrilled portions of the reservoir that can reasonably be judged as commercially productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. Reserves may be classified as proven if facilities to process and transport those reserves to market are operational at the time of the estimate or there is a reasonable expectation that such facilities will be installed.
2P reserves correspond to the sum of proven (1P) and probable reserves. Under the definitions approved by the SPE and the WPC, probable reserves are a category of unproven reserves. Unproven reserves are based on geological or engineering data similar to those used in estimates of proven reserves but in relation to which technical, contractual, economic or regulatory uncertainties preclude such reserves from being classified as proven. Probable reserves are those quantities of oil that, by analysis of geological and engineering data, have a lower probability of being recovered than the proven reserves, but higher than the possible reserves.
If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the 2P estimate.
3P reserves correspond to the sum of proven, probable and
possible reserves. Under the definition approved by the SPE and the WPC, possible reserves are a category of unproven reserves. Unproven reserves are based on geological or engineering data similar to those used in estimates of proven reserves but in relation to which technical, contractual, economic or regulatory uncertainties preclude such reserves from being classified as proven. Possible reserves have a lower probability of being recovered than probable reserves. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the 3P estimate.
The installation where the industrial processes designed to transfer the crude oil into products adapted to the needs of the consumers (fuels, lubricants, bitumen, etc.) or into raw materials for other so-called" second generation" industries (for example, the petrochemical industry).
Energy that is available from permanent and natural energy conversion processes and is economically exploitable under present conditions or in the foreseeable future.
According to this method, the cost of goods sold is valued at the cost of replacement, i.e. at the average cost of raw materials on the month when sales materialise irrespective of inventories at the start or end of the period. The Replacement Cost Method is not accepted by the Portuguese IFRS and is consequently not adopted for valuing inventories. This method does not reflect the cost of replacing other assets.
In addition to using the replacement cost method, RCA items exclude non-recurring events such as capital gains or losses on the disposal of assets, impairment or reinstatement of fixed assets and environmental or restructuring charges which may
affect the analysis of the Company's profit and do not reflect its regular operational performance.
Seismic acquisition involves the generation (source) and Seismic acquisition involves the generation (source) and recording (receiver) of seismic data. A source, such as a vibrator unit, dynamite shot, or an air gun, generates acoustic or elastic waves that travel into the Earth, pass through strata with different seismic responses and filtering effects, and return to the surface to be recorded as seismic data. The receiver may include different configurations, including laying geophones or seismometers on the surface of the Earth or seafloor, pulling hydrophones behind a marine seismic vessel, suspending hydrophones vertically in the sea or placing geophones in a wellbore (as in a vertical seismic profile) to record the seismic signal.
Cost-benefit analysis of the social value generated by the intervention of an organisation. This social impact assessment tool compares the social value generated by the intervention with the necessary expense for this benefit through a ratio between the net present value of the benefits and the net present value of the investment.
Renewed and sustainable energy source, proven by the sun's light and heat, which is harnessed and used by means of different technologies, mainly as solar heating, solar photovoltaic energy, heliothermic energy and solar architecture.
The name, relating to products such as oil, used to describe the international commerce of products shipped in single cargos, such as crude oil, the prices of which closely follow the respective demand and availability.
Installation used by principal and collector pipeline companies, producers of crude oil, and terminal operators (except refineries) for storage of crude oil and oil products.
Group of wind turbines for the production of electrical energy interlinked by a common network by means of a system of transformers, distribution lines and, usually, a substation. The functions of exploration, control and maintenance are normally centralised by means of a monitored IT system, which is complemented by visual inspections.
Kinetic energy – that is, energy that is generated by movement that is obtained by displacement of the air, or in other words, wind. This can be converted into mechanical energy for the enactment of pumps, mills and electrical energy generators.

This report serves as the Annual Integrated Management Report and Accounts in accordance with Portuguese and EU legislation requirements as filed with the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) for the year ended December 31, 2019, for Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as "Galp"). This report presents the Management Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the Consolidated Financial Statements of Galp and the Individual Financial Statements of the Company. This report contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements other than in respect of historical facts and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. The words "aim", "ambition", "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "goals", "intends", "may", "objectives", "outlook", "plan", "probably", "risks", "schedule", "seek", "should", "target", "will" and similar terms and expressions usually identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding: objectives, goals, strategies, outlook and growth prospects; future plans, events or performance and potential for future growth; liquidity, capital resources and capital expenditures; economic outlook and industry trends; energy demand and supply; developments of Galp's markets; the impact of regulatory initiatives; and the strength of Galp's competitors. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including, without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although Galp believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control. Important factors that may lead to significant differences between the actual results and the statements of expectations about future events or results include, without limitation, the Company's business strategy; industry developments; price fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and power; changes in demand for Galp's products and services; currency fluctuations; economic and financial market conditions; legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, including regulatory measures addressing climate change; political risks; changes in trading conditions and uncertainty of the results of future projects and operations, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, among others. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause the actual results of Galp or the industry to differ materially from those results expressed or implied in this report by such forward-looking statements. Also see "Risk factors" in this report for additional risks and further discussion. No assurance is provided that future dividend payment will correspond or exceed previous dividend distributions. All forward-looking statements contained in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The information, opinions and forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as at the date of this report, and are subject to change without notice. Galp and its respective representatives, agents, employees or advisers do not intend to, and expressly disclaim any duty, undertaking or obligation to, make or disseminate any supplement, amendment, update or revision to any of the information, opinions or forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
