Developing our marketplace
International expansion is core to Petrofac’s growth strategy. Moving into new countries does much more than boost our short-term income. New territories offer the opportunity to build new relationships, develop additional capabilities and establish new teams; all of which help to generate future growth.
In our geographical expansion, as in other areas of development, we are advancing in a measured and well-planned way. We are remaining focused on our core markets of the UK Continental Shelf, the Middle East and Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Asia Pacific region and, above all, quality of execution remains our key priority.

and Abu Dhabi, introduced intranet-supported quality management systems.
Petrofac is a progressive business focused on long-term sustainability. To ensure we have a robust foundation and consistent approach we are making significant structural investments across the organisation. In 2010, we began the phased roll out of our new Oracle enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, TEMPO (Technology to EMpower the Petrofac Organisation); launched a group-wide customer relationship management tool, and, in Saudi Arabia
Group-wide systems enable us to implement unified processes across the Company – such as our new global performance management capability, which includes a common behavioural competence framework and clearer visibility of development needs. Such consistency helps bind our growing international business together and improves our customers’ service levels.

==> picture [101 x 101] intentionally omitted <==
Investing in advanced technology for integrating systems In November 2010, Petrofac began its phased roll out of Project TEMPO, our new ERP system, and our Indian and Malaysian offices were the first to ‘go live’.
The next stage will be the implementation in our UK businesses.
The new resource allows us to consolidate core business data and replaces more than 20 existing legacy systems. By standardising many practices, it will make us more productive, efficient and responsive to customers. The system, which was in planning for 18 months, has the scalability and robustness to support Petrofac’s future needs.

Our differentiating culture Petrofac’s people are the key to our success.
Our employees believe in and live our Company values. Petrofac people are: safe, ethical, innovative, cost-conscious, responsive to customers and focus relentlessly on delivering results. This is not just our view; our most recent employee survey (2009) showed 91% of participants
support Petrofac’s values. This strong support reflects the high level of employee equity, with almost one third being members of our share incentive schemes.
Our common values and purpose do not mean we are all the same. We embrace diversity: reflecting the international nature of our operations and customer base, our employees are drawn from more than 70 nationalities.
As we grow, maintaining the unique ‘DNA’ of our business and the strength of our people’s commitment will be central to our continuing success.

People in Petrofac Developing our people is a business priority. It helps retain the best employees and ensures we have the right technical and managerial skills to deliver our projects and grow our Company. In 2010, our talent management programme supported every level of employee: we introduced systems to improve individual development plans for all staff; designed challenging programmes for recent graduate recruits; created a leadership development programme with the London Business School and held a leadership conference for around 70 senior managers.

Chairman’s statement
2010 has been another very successful year for Petrofac. Our track record for delivery, our strategic focus on areas of sustained demand, our increasing capabilities and scale and our strong relationships have again contributed to record results. Revenue increased by 19% to US$4,354 million and net profits rose by 58% to US$557.8 million.

Chairman’s statement
17 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
The global marketplace
These results were achieved despite continuing worldwide economic uncertainty. Our performance was assisted by a healthy demand for energy during the year, from both established and developing economies. The fact that many of our customers are national oil companies, which have continued to press on with capital investment, was also beneficial in 2010. Notwithstanding, it is important to remain very aware of the continuing weakness in the world economy. The threat of tightening trade barriers and of escalating tensions in volatile regions are potential risks to economic growth.
The tragic explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico last April underlined the risks in our industry. The resulting spill from the Macondo well and its environmental, commercial and political impacts are a reminder of the challenges we face every day – and the constant need for vigilance. This event has changed perceptions of our industry and the way it operates, highlighting the importance of the relationship between oil companies and the contracting industry.
Our progress in 2010
Key milestones demonstrated the value of our clear and consistent strategy during the year. Major new business awards – including a US$600 million gas sweetening facilities contract for Qatar Petroleum and two projects for the Kuwait Oil Company, worth a total of US$830 million – indicated the strength of our service offering.
Other contracts fulfilled long-held strategic ambitions. Our contract with Petrom in Romania, covering the Ticleni oilfield and its satellite fields, for example, marked the first production enhancement services contract for our Production Solutions business, which has been assessing such opportunities for some time.
During the year we made important step-outs into new markets. We began working on a new contract marking our entry into Iraq and completed the conversion of the second phase of the US$3.4 billion contract for the South Yoloten field in Turkmenistan.
New investments supported our strategic ambitions. Our alliance with Seven Energy, a leading Nigerian production and development company, gives us the opportunity to develop a local presence in Nigeria. Our commitment to extending our service offering saw us buy two UK businesses in renewable energy (alongside two other complementary acquisitions in the year).
The successful demerging of our UK Continental Shelf assets to a new company, EnQuest PLC, emphasised the validity of our Energy Developments business’ ‘build and harvest’ strategy. The demerger was of significant commercial benefit to Petrofac shareholders, who at the time of demerger received one EnQuest share for every Petrofac share owned, representing 45% ownership of EnQuest PLC at the time of its initial public offering.
Supporting our customers
We have continued our policy of maintaining a conservative balance sheet, with strong cash reserves and minimal debt. We believe that such financial strength acts to reassure customers that we are here for the long-term.
Our long-term contribution to customers is also apparent in our fundamental commitment to employing as many local people on our projects as we can. In addition, our ability to provide training programmes and facilities help our customers to create national workforces, with indigenous workers being equipped for a lifetime’s employment, providing economic benefit to individuals and their wider communities.
Building a sustainable business
When a company grows as fast as Petrofac has, it is vital that internal processes and systems develop accordingly. In 2010 we took further steps to ensure that our business maintains the efficiency of its core systems.
To enable Petrofac to continue to be led and staffed by able and experienced men and women, we strengthened our recruitment, development and succession planning processes across the business.
Working in an exacting industry, in challenging conditions and geographies on increasingly complex projects, taking risk is an integral part of what we do. To manage such risk effectively, in 2010, Petrofac’s Board Risk Committee again deepened its oversight role while the wider business further embedded its risk management procedures and systems.
Dividends
The Company proposes a final dividend of 30.00 cents per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2010 (2009: 25.10 cents), which, if approved, will be paid on 20 May 2011 to eligible shareholders on the register at 26 April 2011. Shareholders who have not elected (before 4 March 2011) to receive dividends in US Dollars will receive a Sterling equivalent of 18.42 pence per ordinary share. Together with the interim dividend of 13.80 cents (2009: 10.70 cents), equivalent to 8.91 pence, this gives a total dividend for the year of 43.80 cents per ordinary share (2009: 35.80 cents), an increase of 22.3%.
Our Board
Our customers and employees come from numerous geographies and cultures: it is essential that our Board reflects that diversity. In 2010, two new non-executive directors, Thomas Thune Andersen and Stefano Cao, brought valuable fresh experience and ideas to our Board. Having directors with a broad range of experiences and perspectives enables us to learn from each other and grow. This year, we complemented that learning with an external Board evaluation. One of the outcomes of this useful exercise was a commitment to a greater focus on strategy; consequently, the time devoted to strategic discussion has doubled. The necessary reinvigoration of the Board has continued in 2011, with the addition of Andy Inglis, recently appointed Chief Executive of
Energy Developments and Production Solutions and a former BP board director. Roxanne Decyk, whose long executive career included 11 years with The Royal Dutch Shell Group, has recently joined the Board as a non-executive director. Norman Murray, chairman of Cairn Energy PLC and co-founder and former chairman of Morgan Grenfell Private Equity Limited has also joined our Board and, subject to shareholder approval, will succeed me as Chairman following the conclusion of the AGM on 13 May. In line with Petrofac’s rotation policy, I am stepping down after six fascinating and highly enjoyable years. I have no doubt that Andy, Norman and Roxanne will each make a significant individual contribution to the Board and I wish them well.
In another change, Kjell Almskog will also retire from the Petrofac Board this year. I would like to thank Kjell for his significant contribution during his six years on our Board, most recently as Senior Independent Director.

In my time with Petrofac the business has changed and grown enormously. What has not changed has been the commitment, diligence and ownership displayed by our men and women. Such attributes may be due to the fact that, with more than 30% of employees being shareholders or participants in share schemes, many do literally ‘own’ the business. I would like to pay heartfelt tribute to our people and to the professional way they deliver high quality solutions to our customers in some of the most challenging locations in the world. They have created an absolutely exceptional firm.
Outlook
2010 has been an exceptional year for us, with a record intake of new orders, which gives us outstanding revenue visibility and brings exciting opportunities for us to develop our capability and to deliver it into new markets.
With this strong financial underpinning, our differentiated and competitive offering and our proven excellence in project execution, we are confident that we will continue to deliver superior value for our customers and sector-leading returns for our shareholders.
I thank our shareholders, customers and suppliers for their support in 2010 and for my entire time as Chairman. I am confident that Petrofac will continue to deliver outstanding performance in the years ahead.

Interview with the Group Chief Executive
19 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
Petrofac has delivered another exceptional set of results. Why was 2010 such a good year? Many factors played a part: significant contract wins, moves into new geographies and the successful completion of a number of projects. Fundamentally, however, we delivered record results once again because we remained focused on our customers, on attention to detail and on excellence in delivery and execution.
What were the highlights?
The year’s highlights, and they occurred right across the Petrofac group, were all characterised by us breaking new ground.
We reaped the first rewards of our ‘build and harvest’ strategy with the demerging of our UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) assets to EnQuest PLC where they were combined with the UKCS assets of Lundin Petroleum AB in a separate listed entity. This crystallised a significant gain for Petrofac, demonstrated the value of our investment model and also enabled Petrofac shareholders to participate as shareholders in a production and development company which has since gone on to create even more value as a public company.
Commencing work on the second phase of the South Yoloten gas processing plant construction project in Turkmenistan, a new and important market for Petrofac, was another milestone. The US$3.4 billion engineering, procurement and commissioning project is the largest lump-sum turnkey contract that we have ever signed. We are very pleased to be working with Turkmengas, the state-owned national gas company, on this project and our initial planning and set-up studies have given us confidence that we can maintain our high standards and first class project delivery for this world-scale project which is due to be completed in 2013.
Our production enhancement services contract for the Ticleni oilfield in Romania was another breakthrough. The 15-year contract, which we estimate will be worth US$270 million in the first five years, involves us taking full operational responsibility for this mature field on behalf of Petrom, Romania’s largest oil & gas group. It marks both our first production enhancement services contract, something we had been targeting for some time, and our first project in Romania.
Another advance came with our appointment by Total to develop the Laggan Tormore gas processing plant on the Shetland Islands. The £500 million award is our first predominantly lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction contract in the UK, and is a significant award for our Offshore Engineering & Operations business which will also draw on the support of our established Engineering & Construction business to deliver the project.
Another great moment was the inauguration of Syria’s National Training Centre, the country’s first ever oil & gas training facility, which we designed, refurbished and equipped. The inauguration event coincided with our annual investor trip and around 50 investors and financial analysts were present when the Syrian Prime Minister, His Excellency Mohammad Naji Ottri, inaugurated the facility. Our gift of the centre to the Syrian Government, in support of its drive to develop more skilled oil & gas personnel, was the most significant donation we have ever made and emphasised our commitment to the communities in which we work.
As well as these exciting new projects and awards we kept our focus on execution. We successfully completed the Ebla gas plant in Syria for PetroCanada, two months ahead of schedule and have substantially
completed: the Jihar gas plant in Syria for the Hayan Petroleum Company, the Harweel cluster development for Petroleum Development Oman, the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery pipelines project for Kuwait Oil Company and the In Salah Gas compression project for Sonatrach, BP and Statoil in Algeria.
Petrofac is changing as it grows. In 2010, for example, you extended your service offering and moved into new countries. What is your growth strategy?
Petrofac is still a focused oil & gas business operating mainly in the upstream sector. We are changing, but in an evolutionary way.
Our growth strategy has two main elements: first, it will be built on deepening our competencies in order to become more active across the entire value chain. We will also continue to pursue opportunities in new countries, where we see potential for growth and development.
How do you intend to operate across the ‘entire value chain’?
We want to deepen and extend our capability so that we can operate much more widely across the life cycle of an asset, from concept definition and drilling management to delivering a turnkey development.
That process has been under way for some time. Our engineering and construction roots are now complemented by other strengths, such as our strong operations management, training and consulting businesses. In 2010, our appointment by the Malaysian national oil company, PETRONAS to develop the SEPAT offshore early production system and our move into the field development programme for the second phase of the Cendor project, also in Malaysia, significantly expanded our offshore engineering activity.

Interview with the Group Chief Executive continued
==> picture [166 x 111] intentionally omitted <==
We believe we can create additional value for our customers by integrating services and delivering them through a different, service-led approach. This will give customers the full capability they need while enabling them to retain full ownership of their resources.
Our contract to lead the development of the Berantai field, which we signed just after the year-end, shows the potential for this type of integrated service contract and how it can generate additional value for both customers and for us. We will develop and operate the Berantai field offshore Malaysia, again for PETRONAS, for seven years after the first production of gas. Alongside two local partners, we will be responsible for providing and integrating a full range of services – from design and construction to subsurface technical services and operations.
The innovative commercial framework, whereby PETRONAS retains full ownership of its resources while our returns are linked to the delivery of the project, illustrates our commercial flexibility and commitment to creating true alignment with the objectives of resource holders.
How swiftly do you intend to expand geographically?
Building foundations in new markets, as we did in Turkmenistan, Nigeria and Iraq in 2010, is a major focus. To ensure that we get it absolutely right for our customers and shareholders, we are expanding in a very measured way geographically; aiming to add a selected number of markets each year.
In 2010, you made a number of relatively small acquisitions. Are you actively looking for further acquisitions?
We are interested in making acquisitions, but only those that fulfil a strong strategic rationale or offer real synergies as we grow. Our new energy businesses, CO2DeepStore Limited, a leading developer of CO2 storage projects, and TNEI Services Limited, a renewable energy specialist, for instance, offer a platform for potential future growth in the emerging low carbon world.
As you evolve, how will you maintain the core qualities that have made Petrofac successful?
In the coming years we expect to recruit many thousands more staff. As our organisation expands, retaining our unique culture and being true to our values will be essential.
This culture or ‘DNA’ encompasses important things like taking ownership of problems, keeping a relentless focus on project
Interview with the Group Chief Executive
21 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
“ There is no doubt that in the last 30 years Petrofac has achieved a great deal but, if we stay focused on execution and delivery, as I am sure we will, we have a fantastic journey ahead.”
execution, being safe and responsive to our customers, and maintaining a focus on close management of costs. If we get these fundamental aspects of our business right then we have a strong foundation from which to grow.
While we are developing new capabilities and executing our differentiated business model, particularly in the areas of offshore engineering and providing integrated services for resource holders, we remain as committed to the core activities that have made us successful so far. We will go on growing our lump-sum turnkey and operations management activities in both existing and new markets.
You have invested in strengthening your internal systems this year with, for example, the first roll-out of Petrofac’s group-wide enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and new HR processes. Why was this necessary?
Petrofac has grown very fast. Within six years of our initial public offering, we have achieved more than a seven-fold increase in market capitalisation and have more than doubled our employee headcount.
So, our systems must be robust. They must allow Petrofac to be consistent and scalable, support strong governance and effective risk management, and help us to ensure we have the right people, with the right skills, both now and in the future.
The strengthening of our corporate functions and systems, so they serve as a stronger resource for the business, has been a continuing priority for a number of years. Throughout this process, we have identified what is already working well and have acted to enhance it and spread best practice throughout the organisation. Central to this development is the implementation of our new ERP system ‘TEMPO’ (Technology to EMpower the Petrofac Organisation), but this was not simply imposed on the business, instead we chose the very best processes from those already operating in the business and tailored the system around them. We are determined that our corporate functions should support our entrepreneurial business style, not just be a bureaucratic overlay to it.
Petrofac attracted major oil & gas executives to its Board this year, in both executive and non-executive roles (see page 70 for details). What do they bring to the Company? They bring many things, not least a deep knowledge of the industry and a thorough understanding of customer needs, having come from international oil companies. More importantly, they bring experience of how some of the world’s most successful companies think and work. I am sure that they will provide invaluable insights that will help us as we continue to develop our own organisation.
Our new directors are building on strong foundations. I would like to thank our outgoing Chairman, Rodney Chase, who has led our Board very effectively for six years and in this time has made a significant contribution to our success. Also retiring from our Board at the AGM is Senior Independent Director, Kjell Almskog. Kjell has served on our Board for six years and I thank him for his valued contribution during this time.
Why are major industry figures attracted to Petrofac?
I think we are becoming an increasingly attractive employer for staff at all levels. People see us as doing things differently to others in the industry. They are joining us because they want to be part of our success and to contribute to our future growth.
What do you believe has characterised Petrofac’s success to date?
Our success is rooted in our people and our culture. We have a great team of exceptional individuals who are very motivated and driven. They personify the Petrofac culture and values.
The high level of employee share ownership also helps explain why we are different – and our success. Almost one in three of our people participate in one or more of our share schemes and I believe that this creates a huge degree of alignment between employees, the Company and our external shareholders: they all share one aspiration of building long-term sustainable value.
Although we have continued to make great progress, we remain vigilant to complacency, and are focused on continually developing our people and evolving our business to stay at pace with the changing needs of our customers.
2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the foundation of Petrofac and the 20th anniversary of you joining the Company. Can Petrofac remain successful over the long-term?
Absolutely! The 2010 Annual Report theme – ‘We’ve come a long way but the journey is just beginning’ – is absolutely right. Before we look forward, I would like to briefly look back and thank everyone who contributed to our journey over the last three decades, especially Ralph Martin, who passed away in February this year. As one of Petrofac’s original founders Ralph was an inspiration to everyone that knew and worked with him. We all miss him a great deal.
There is no doubt that in the last 30 years Petrofac has achieved a great deal but, if we stay focused on execution and delivery, as I am sure we will, we have a fantastic journey ahead. In the coming years, I am confident that we will continue to create value for our shareholders and maintain our strong growth trajectory. I am looking forward to participating in this next stage of our journey.

Maintaining and improving our high safety and integrity standards wherever we work
==> picture [166 x 179] intentionally omitted <==
Providing a range of services across the life cycle of the energy asset
We operate in some difficult and hazardous environments and the safety of our people is paramount at all times. We aim to provide a safe working environment for all operations that are designed, constructed, operated, managed or supported by Petrofac.
Developments during 2010
■ we designated 2010 as the Year of Integrity and Quality across our engineering businesses and created the role of Director of Integrity to champion best practice. Technical integrity was also the theme of our annual safety seminar, which was attended by 90 senior managers, including our Group Chief Executive, Group Chief Operating Officer and our seven business unit managing directors
- during the year, our employees and subcontractors completed 76 million man-hours (2009: 70 million) of activity. Our lost time injury and recordable injury frequency rates are key performance indicators and are reported on page 29 and summarised as follows:
We aim to provide a range of services that meet our customers’ needs across the life cycle of oil & gas assets. Our services include the design and build of oil & gas facilities, the operation, maintenance and management of facilities and personnel training.
Developments during 2010
■ the award of a contract in October 2010 for the development of the Laggan Tormore gas processing plant on the Shetland Islands forms part of the strategic growth plan for the Offshore Engineering & Operations business, being our first predominantly lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). We are confident that the combination of our UKCS operations, maintenance and engineering experience and our Engineering & Construction EPC track record can deliver success in this market
-
our recordable incident frequency rate for 2010 fell considerably to 0.18 per 200,000 man-hours (2009: 0.36), which compares well with industry published data. Our lost time injury frequency rate was slightly higher at 0.026 per 200,000 man-hours (2009: 0.020), after four successive years of improvement to 2009
-
the 2010 lost time statistics above include one fatality, which is detailed on page 60
Future milestones
■ our health and safety performance is reviewed in full on pages 60 and 61 in the corporate social responsibility report. Through campaigns such as ‘horizon zero’, we are committed to improving our safety performance
-
in December 2010, we were awarded a contract for the development of the SEPAT offshore early production system on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The contract represents our first major offshore engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract, and builds upon our offshore experience gained on Energy Developments’ Don and Cendor projects
-
through acquisition (see pages 45 and 48 for more detail), we have made the first steps to position ourselves in the renewable energy and low carbon sectors, which have the potential to be a material market for us over the long-term
Future milestones
-
our first major EPC award in the UKCS and our first significant offshore EPCIC contract give us the opportunity to build our credentials in these areas
-
we will continue to review opportunities to expand our service offering to meet our strategic goals

Expanding our offering into new regions, prioritising areas with major hydrocarbon reserves and significant capital and operational expenditures
While remaining focused on our key markets of the UKCS, the Middle East and Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Asia Pacific region, we aim to expand into new countries and regions that offer exciting growth opportunities, particularly where they are in close proximity to our existing operations.
==> picture [343 x 316] intentionally omitted <==
Developments during 2010
■ in November 2010, as well as acquiring a 15% interest (12.6% on a fully diluted basis), the group entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Seven Energy, a Nigerian production and development company, to assist in the development of its production, processing and transportation assets. We have been examining how to establish an ongoing local presence in Nigeria, a high growth market, for a number of years and we believe that this partnership gives us a platform to do so (see page 45 for more detail)
-
throughout 2010, we worked on the US$100 million first phase of the South Yoloten project for Turkmengas in Turkmenistan. Following the successful completion of the first phase, we commenced the 31.5 month US$3.4 billion second phase in late December 2010. Turkmenistan is a market where we will be able to draw on our extensive experience of designing and constructing facilities to handle and process sour gas (see page 40 for more detail)
-
we began working on our first major project Future milestones
-
in Iraq for an international oil company in mid-2010, undertaking the engineering, ■ procurement, fabrication and construction management services for the development of a new early production system
-
we aim to build upon our positions in Turkmenistan, Iraq and Nigeria over the next few years, as we anticipate significant capital and operational expenditure in these markets
-
we will continue to look at measured expansion into new countries and regions, for example, central Africa

Providing fully integrated services for resource holders under flexible, tailored commercial models, which leverage our service capability and may include the provision of capital
==> picture [166 x 179] intentionally omitted <==
Training and hiring local resources where we operate to help develop national workforces
Drawing on the extensive capabilities of the wider group, through our Energy Developments and Production Solutions business units, we seek to provide fully integrated services for resource holders under flexible commercial models that are aligned to their specific requirements.
Developments during 2010
■ a key part of Energy Developments’ strategy is to consider divestment (or ‘harvest’) of assets once they have been developed. Following the commencement of oil production and significant progress on commissioning of the production infrastructure on the Don fields in the UKCS in 2009 and early 2010, we disposed of our interests through the EnQuest demerger in April 2010, thereby realising significant value for our shareholders (see page 46 for more detail)
■ through Production Solutions, we secured our first production enhancement contract in July 2010 for the Ticleni oilfield and its eight satellite fields in Romania. Our services will cover a range of
There is an increasing demand from resource holders to use and develop local workforces as they seek wider economic benefit from the development of their energy infrastructure. We believe that understanding how to harness local resources effectively is key to our success.
Developments during 2010
■ the use of local resources, through direct employment and the use of local subcontractors, is becoming increasingly important in many of the countries in which we operate. Aided by our training capability, we have a long track record of working with local workforces and subcontractors
- in Turkmenistan, for example, the in-country team on the South Yoloten project has more than 70% local content, which represents a significant achievement in a country where the development of oil & gas reserves is in its early stages
operations, drilling management, production engineering, facilities upgrade and training skills to increase production through improving recovery rates, optimising operational efficiencies and investing to upgrade the facilities (see page 44 for more detail)
■ in early 2011, we were awarded a risk service contract (RSC) for the development of the Berantai field, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. The RSC represents a departure from the established production sharing contract (PSC) framework in Malaysia. We aim to demonstrate how the integrated delivery of our services can add significant value for resource holders under this alternative commercial framework (see page 48 for more detail)
Future milestones
- we plan to create significant growth in the group and value for our shareholders through the provision of integrated services to resource holders
■ in October, we opened a state-of-the-art technical training centre in Syria, which we designed, refurbished and equipped, and which we will operate for five years. The centre, part of the Syrian Government’s commitment to develop competent personnel for the growing oil & gas sector, has been donated by Petrofac as part of our long-term commitment to CSR and training (see page 66 for more details)
Future milestones
■ in late 2010, we commenced training operations at a facility in Hassi Messaoud, Algeria. In the years ahead we will look to train Algerian workers in piping, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation disciplines to support our activities in the country

Attracting and retaining specialists and key personnel
We are a people business and skilled personnel remain in high demand. Policies to promote and reward on merit, targeted but extensive employee share ownership, a portfolio of world-class projects and exciting prospects are key to our continued success.
Developments during 2010
-
Petrofac has continued to be successful in accessing international labour markets, including graduates, in particular in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. We grew our headcount from 11,700 at the beginning of the year to approximately 13,900 at 31 December 2010
-
the capacity and capability of our largest reporting segment, Engineering & Construction, has substantially increased over the year, with an increase in EPC headcount[1] from 5,600 to 7,000
-
our share ownership plans play an important role in helping to attract and retain key personnel and in encouraging a culture of personal responsibility that is critical to our success. We extended the reach of our share plans during the year, and now have around 3,900 participants (31 December 2009: 3,000), representing around 30% (31 December 2009: 28%) of the eligible workforce
Future milestones
■ we plan to continue to broaden and strengthen our senior management team and to grow headcount, particularly in Engineering & Construction, through our existing operational centres, which will be supported by building a second tower adjacent to our largest operational centre in Sharjah, UAE, and by opening a third office in India, in Delhi
1 EPC headcount is defined as headcount of the Engineering & Construction reporting segment and the headcount of the Mumbai, Chennai and Jakarta offices that are managed through Engineering Services, but primarily support Engineering & Construction.

Identifying, acquiring and growing complementary businesses where they expand our skill set and support our strategic goals
We have acquired 12 businesses in the last ten years to broaden our capability. Acquisitions have been in the areas of training, operations and maintenance, well operations management, production enhancement and the renewable energy and low carbon sectors.
Developments during 2010
■ in January 2010, we acquired Scotvalve Services Limited (Scotvalve), which provides servicing and repair for oilfield pressure control equipment. Scotvalve is headquartered in Aberdeen, but its interests in the Middle East and North Africa enable Offshore Engineering & Operations to provide repair and maintenance services within a wider geographic footprint
- in April 2010, we acquired Stephen Gillespie Consultants Limited (SGC), which designs and manufactures metering systems. SGC brings specialist capability and systems that will expand and differentiate Offshore Engineering & Operations’ offering in metering services and enable us to provide managed solutions for our customers
■ the acquisitions of TNEI Services Limited (TNEI), a specialist consultancy supporting the energy, power and renewable sectors, and CO2DeepStore, a company focused on the CO2 geological storage sector of the carbon capture and storage market, represent the first steps in positioning us in the renewable energy and low carbon sectors (see pages 45 and 48 for more details)
Future milestones
- we will continue to review acquisition targets which broaden and deepen the capability of the group

Enterprise risk management and key risks
The management of risk is critical to the achievement of our corporate objectives. Without a robust risk management framework we could not, for example, maintain our high safety and integrity standards or continue to grow and expand our range of services, both technically and geographically.
==> picture [200 x 551] intentionally omitted <==
Over and above the achievement of our corporate objectives, the management of risk is a crucial element of our competitive advantage and the subsequent creation and preservation of shareholder value. Our commercially-innovative and flexible business model, which generates differentiated returns, can involve taking on additional risk where it can be quantified and managed. As a result, efforts to make our enterprise risk management system comprehensive and robust are given high priority within the group.
The group’s focus on risk was emphasised at our 2010 Leadership Conference, where senior management made a review of our risk management system one of the group’s top priorities for 2011. Recommendations for change will be presented to the Board and outlined in the 2011 Annual Report and Accounts. The coming review is especially relevant given the 2010 publication of the Financial Reporting Council’s new UK code, which introduced a number of changes, including a more explicit requirement on company boards to articulate risk appetite and identify the significant risks they are prepared to take.
Enterprise risk management system
Our enterprise risk management system is designed to ensure that all significant risks to our reputation and shareholder value are appropriately monitored and mitigated in line with the Board’s policy. These risks fall into three areas:
-
industry risks – the systemic exposure to fluctuations in core commodity prices and demand for our services. These risks are reviewed and managed directly by the Board and our senior management team
-
country risks – the exposure to external country factors that are inherent in the environments in which we operate, including security, political risk, legal risk and transparency, bribery and corruption, exchange rates and local infrastructure
Project teams ensure these risks are reviewed and appropriate responses are built into the structure of the project execution and contracting model, wherever possible. Our corporate functions monitor this risk environment and the Risk Committee of the Board provides additional review and oversight. The Board retains approval authority for any significant new country entry
■ project-specific risks – pertaining to the execution of projects including technical risk, budget and schedule risk, performance guarantee levels, safety risk and environmental risk. These risks are directly managed by our project teams. They are also considered during the risk review process, which reviews all new business proposals before any formal commitments are entered into. Our business unit managing directors and their management teams report on discrete execution risks to the executive management team, at the monthly Executive Committee (ExCom) meetings. A summary of the discrete risks reviewed are reported to the Board at each scheduled meeting. Through this review process, a constant focus on maintaining and improving our execution capability is ensured
Board level review
The Board has ultimate responsibility for managing risk. Its role is to ensure that the group defines its risk appetite; maintains a sound system of risk management and internal controls; and satisfies itself that appropriate systems are in place to identify, assess and manage key risks, in accordance with the terms of the new UK code.
Operating review
31 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
In order to fulfil its responsibilities, the Board receives assurance from the following processes and committees:
Direct Board level risk review
The Board directly reviews risk reports from each Petrofac business at every scheduled Board meeting. These reports cover all areas of risk but focus on project execution risks. They provide the Board with an update on specific discrete risks to our interests and the management strategies deployed to mitigate them. More details about the risk matrices produced by each business and reviewed by the Board are found on page 77.
Risk Committee and Audit Committee These committees focus on the overall balance of risk and the risk management systems within the Company.
The Risk Committee is comprised of non-executive directors (though executive management are in attendance). Its principal task is to review and monitor non-financial risks and to set policy and review compliance of the business in mitigation of these risks. The Committee achieves this through the approval of policies which are further discussed on page 77. To date, the Committee has approved three group policies: a Sovereign and Financial Market Risk Policy, an Ethical, Social and Regulatory Risk Policy, and an Operational and Contractual Risk Policy.
The ongoing review of these policies, and the consideration of group performance in complying with them, represents the Board’s primary forum for assessing the effectiveness of our risk management framework. For example, during 2010 management made a number of changes to its commitments to monitor and mitigate risk in several areas throughout the group, including bribery and corruption, sovereign risk, counterparty risk and security risk.
The Audit Committee is also comprised of non-executive directors and among other responsibilities, it reviews the effectiveness of the group’s financial and operational internal control systems. Our Internal Audit function receives all risk reports that are presented to the Board and the Risk Committee and shares its findings with the Audit Committee.
Enterprise Risk Committee and Group Risk Review Committee
The Enterprise Risk Committee and Group Risk Review Committee look at country and project-specific risks associated with entry into certain new geographies or contractual commitments. They are not formal committees of the Board, they are management committees which are chaired by the Group Chief Operating Officer and the Group Chief Executive respectively.
The Enterprise Risk Committee, which was formed in 2009, focused its efforts during 2010 on country and third party-specific risks in high-risk territories. A list of such high-risk territories was defined by the Board in early 2010, and periodic review of this list will take place. A review now takes place where the group wishes to conduct new business in any predefined high-risk territory, whether we have previously operated there or not. In such cases, approval is required from the Group Chief Operating Officer or the Chief Executive of Energy Developments and Production Solutions. In 2010, the Enterprise Risk Committee met on an ad hoc basis to consider country and third party risks in countries including Iraq and Nigeria (both of which are classified as high-risk).
Pre-award, new projects and investments are reviewed by the business unit-level Risk Review Committee. Based on the delegated authority matrix, if the new commitment is of significant value, it will be escalated from the business unit committee to the Group Risk Review Committee, which meets as often as is required. From there, approval to commit to the project or investment will be required from the Group Chief Operating Officer or the Board, primarily based on project size and/or duration. The remit of this Committee extends beyond the consideration of new projects and includes:
-
moving into new territories
-
providing new services
-
making capital investments
-
entering lease commitments
-
making acquisitions and/or establishing joint venture relationships
Business unit-level review
Significant responsibility for risk identification, review and mitigation exists at the business unit level, as operational teams are closest to the detail of our business. As a result, we have well-established procedures embedded in the organisation for the management of risk.
Business unit Risk Review Committee
Pre-award, all new projects and investments go through a robust risk review process at the business unit level. The first stage involves review at the project team level, involving bid risk analysis, cost and schedule risk analysis, commercial risk management plans and bid risk reporting. Subject to this review being completed satisfactorily, the potential award moves to review by the business unit Risk Review Committee.
The delegated authority framework defines the levels of review that are required based on the level of risk. Potential projects are approved at the business or group level or escalated to Board level review.
Monthly Executive Committee
Post-award execution is managed by our project teams and continuously reviewed within business units by our executives on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. Issues arising from these sessions are picked up in the monthly Executive Committee, where the business unit managing directors meet with the Group Chief Executive and his direct reports to review both the performance of each business unit and its discrete risks. These meetings focus on strategies to address and mitigate the identified risks: these are reported to the Board (along with all discrete risks) at each scheduled Board meeting, as described above.
Monthly risk reporting
In late 2010, we established a requirement for each business unit to produce monthly reports measuring the health of risk management within their business. This achieves a bottom-up consideration of strategic risk issues in each business, rather than relying on Board level review. A combination of qualitative and quantitative measures are taken of the following seven factors:
-
the risk to achievement of the annual business plan and targets
-
the level of market risk and competition
-
the level of customer relationship risk
-
the level of commercial and contractual risk
-
the level of execution risk
-
the level of counterparty risk
-
the level of resource risk
The level of risk described in these reports will be incorporated into the risk report which is reviewed by the Board, as described above.
Key risks
The key risks that could lead to a significant loss of reputation or prevent us from executing our strategy and creating shareholder value are summarised here, along with our approach to mitigating these risks and our progress during 2010.

Enterprise risk management and key risks continued
| Industry risk | Description | Mitigation | Progress in 2010 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level of demand for the group’s services |
The demand for our services is linked to the level of capital and operational expenditure by the oil & gas industry. |
As noted in the ‘Operating environment’ section, we expect the demand for our services to remain robust over the long-term. Our recent success in securing substantial new contract awards gives us outstanding visibility of revenues through 2011 and beyond. Our continuing geographic and service expansion has helped to grow the size of the addressable market for our services. |
For information about how we are incrementally growing our geographic footprint and expanding our service offering, see our strategic initiatives on pages 25 and 26. |
| Oil & gas commodity prices |
Long-term expectations of the price of oil & gas may have an impact on the level of new investment in the industry and may therefore affect demand for our services. The fnancial performance of Energy Developments is more leveraged to the price of oil & gas through its co-investment in upstream oil & gas assets, and its fnancial results may therefore be impacted. |
As detailed in the ‘Operating environment’ section, demand for our services should not be signifcantly impacted by short-term fuctuations in oil & gas prices and has proven robust despite signifcant volatility in oil & gas prices over the recent economic downturn. Our formal policy to hedge a proportion of our direct exposure to oil & gas prices provides us with a degree of protection against fuctuations in the sale price variations for oil & gas. Under our hedging policy we aim to hedge 75% of our forecast production levels for the next 12 months, using pre-defned hedging instruments and with pre-defned counterparties. We will not undertake hedging until a development has achieved steady-state production. |
See note 33 to the fnancial statements for details of the oil & gas derivative instruments that were in place at 31 December 2010. |
| Availability of essential executive or project staff |
The availability of skilled personnel remains one of the most signifcant challenges facing the oil & gas industry. |
We remain confdent that our policies to promote and reward on merit, targeted, but extensive, employee share ownership, management and technical training programmes and access to international labour markets, in particular the Middle East, Indian subcontinent and Asia, a portfolio of world-class projects and exciting prospects for continued growth will enable us to attract and retain the necessary skilled personnel to undertake our projects in hand. |
We have increased the number of employee shareholders or participants in employee share schemes to approximately 3,900 (2009: 3,000). We have decided to open a third Indian offce, in Delhi, to tap another pool of resources, where the shortage of skilled engineers is less pronounced than in Western countries. For more information about how we manage this risk, see our strategic initiatives on page 26. |

We monitor carefully the changing landscape of political risk, particularly for countries that are regarded as high political risk environments.

Operating environment
In contrast to the decrease in global demand for oil & gas in 2009 as a result of the economic downturn, 2010 saw oil demand rise by approximately 3.2%1, leading to a sustained recovery in oil prices which averaged around US$802 per barrel during the year.
While such short-term indicators are positive, it is the medium to long-term trends in global energy demand and supply that are most relevant in shaping our operating environment.
==> picture [343 x 251] intentionally omitted <==
Overview
The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) ‘new policies’ scenario[3] anticipates that global primary demand for energy will increase by approximately 36% from 2008 to 2035, or around 1.2% per annum. Growth is driven by non-OECD demand, particularly in China (which is now the world’s largest energy consumer), India and the Middle East. Meanwhile, BP projects that world primary energy demand will rise by 39% over the next 20 years[4] , equivalent to 1.7% per annum, driven by growth in the global population, gross domestic product (GDP) and energy intensity per capita.
What is common to both studies is the conviction that fossil fuels will remain the predominant means of satisfying global energy demand over the long-term. Under the IEA’s more conservative projection (albeit based on different assumptions), demand for oil is expected to increase by 15%, an average of 0.5% per annum, to approximately 99 million barrels per day by 2035. Global demand for gas is expected to increase considerably faster at 1.4% per annum, reaching approximately 4,500 billion cubic metres per annum (bcma) by 2035 (equivalent to approximately 75 million barrels of oil per day).
The natural decline of existing oil & gas production is of even greater significance than the anticipated growth in demand for oil & gas. Cambridge Energy Research Associates undertook a study of 1,000 oilfields and, while only 40% of production came from fields in decline, the aggregate decline rate applied to all fields currently in production was estimated at 4.5% per annum[5] . Similarly, in 2009, the IEA estimated that less than one third of global gas production in 2030 will be met by existing production[6] . Large-scale investment in oil & gas projects is therefore required to both limit and compensate for decline rates (through enhanced oil recovery and investment in new developments to replace existing production) and satisfy the expected growth in demand.

Engineering & Construction and Engineering & Construction Ventures Driven by the operating environment described on page 36, investment in oil & gas infrastructure is expected to be more than US$15 trillion in the period 2010 to 2035[1] . Approximately US$6 trillion (in excess of US$200 billion per annum) of this expenditure is expected to be in our core Engineering & Construction markets of the CIS, Middle East and Africa (although our current addressable market is a subset of the total market). We had a successful year for new contract awards for Engineering & Construction in 2010, with an order intake of US$6 billion, however this represents a relatively small share of this large and growing market. Our strategy is to move incrementally into new geographies and expand our range of services so that our addressable market grows as a percentage of the overall global market. Consequently, we expect demand for the group’s services that rely on capital expenditure (predominantly the Engineering & Construction business units) to remain strong over the long-term.
Operational expenditures
Industry-wide operational expenditures are expected to increase. The average cost per barrel of developing, operating and maintaining new fields, which are increasingly in more remote or harsher environments, is likely to rise over time. The cost of maintaining and producing mature fields, which require greater ‘healthcare’ as they deplete, is also likely to increase. Increasing operational expenditures should benefit a number of our businesses; we look at the operating environment for each in more detail:
Offshore Engineering & Operations
Around 90% of Offshore Engineering & Operations’ revenues are generated from activities in the UKCS. The UKCS market is relatively concentrated and during the economic downturn many customers took the opportunity to retender contracts. We succeeded in retaining and extending many contracts where we were the incumbent contractor and have grown our market share by securing a number of new contracts (see page 43). Internationally, we have a small proportion of the available market and would like to grow our market share as we extend our geographic reach. As a result of securing new contracts and extensions, backlog has increased from US$1.6 billion to US$2.4 billion over the course of 2010.
Engineering Services
After a modest increase in 2010, capital expenditure on exploration and production spending is expected to increase more substantially in 2011[2] , which should see an increase in conceptual studies and FEED studies. This will hopefully lead to an increase in opportunities for external work for our Engineering Services business.
Training Services
We believe that the long-term drivers for this business remain robust:
-
the industry will be required to recruit and train many new skilled engineers and technicians to replace those set to retire over the next few years
-
there is an increasing focus on local content requirements, particularly as sovereign state resource holders try to extract more economic value from oil & gas developments. In this regard, Training Services supports not only our customers, but also the rest the group
-
following events in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, there is likely to be an increasing focus in some markets on critical incident management and emergency response training, as well as on quality assurance and technical training
We estimate our current market share to be around 2% of the global market for the training services that we provide. The above drivers should all increase the size of our potential market over the medium to long-term and we have ambitions to grow our relatively small market share in what is a highly fragmented market.
Energy Developments and Production Solutions
We believe that a strategic opportunity exists for the group to support some of the world’s major oil & gas resource holders.
Resource holders need to develop new opportunities and invest increasing levels of time, effort and capital in operating and maintaining their existing production. As many resource holders are well-funded, or have alternative sources of capital, and there is often political sensitivity around transferring ownership of reserves, we believe that resource holders’ key requirement is capability.
Drawing upon the extensive capabilities of the wider group, which include engineering, operations, training, well management and specialist petro-technical consulting businesses, we are seeking opportunities to provide a fully integrated service for resource holders. We are happy to work under a range of flexible commercial models that are aligned to specific customer requirements. Such projects may cover upstream developments, both greenfield and brownfield, and related energy infrastructure investments, and can include the provision of capital.
The recent awards to Petrofac of the Ticleni contract in Romania (see page 44 for more detail) and the Berantai project in Malaysia (see page 48) are interesting examples of what we believe are very exciting opportunities for the group.
In summary
We had an exceptional year in 2010, securing a number of new contracts across the group. As a result, our backlog finished the year at a record level of US$11.7 billion (2009: US$8.1 billion). We have continued that success as we move into 2011, having secured a contract in Algeria in January 2011 for US$1.2 billion and a risk service contract for the Berantai field in Malaysia. Overall, we have outstanding visibility of revenues for 2011 and beyond.
Notwithstanding that we still face significant competition in many of our established markets, the key drivers of capital and operational expenditures and our geographic focus should ensure that our medium to long-term prospects remain strong.

We have delivered good progress on our current portfolio of contracts including the handover or substantial completion of the following:
- in Syria, we completed and commissioned the Ebla gas plant for PetroCanada in April 2010, two months ahead of schedule, earning an early completion bonus. We have also completed and commissioned the Jihar gas plant for the Hayan Petroleum Company (a joint venture between the state-owned Syrian Petroleum Company and INA Industrija Nafte d.d.-Naftaplin of Croatia)
■ in Oman, we completed the Harweel cluster development project for the Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), achieving the introduction of hydrocarbons in January 2011
-
in Kuwait, we substantially completed the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery pipelines project for Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), which was awarded in November 2008
-
in Algeria, we made good progress on the In Salah gas compression project for Sonatrach, BP and Statoil. Two of the three fields are now in operation and the compression facility and power generation on the Krechbah field were substantially completed by the end of the year
We were awarded the following principal contracts during the year, on which initial progress has been in line with our expectations:
Gas sweetening facilities, Qatar
In March 2010, we were successful in securing an award for gas sweetening facilities in Qatar from Qatar Petroleum. The contract, for more than US$600 million, includes the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of gas sweetening facilities in Qatar’s Messaieed and Dukhan industrial districts. The project includes a sulphur recovery upgrade in Messaieed and an acid gas recovery plant in Dukhan. Work on the projects is due for completion within 38 months.
Pipelines from Mina Al-Ahmadi to power stations, Kuwait
In July 2010, we were awarded a US$400 million contract by Kuwait Oil Company for EPC services for the installation of fuel gas and gas oil pipelines from Mina Al-Ahmadi to the Azzour and Shuaiba Power Stations in Kuwait. The project follows on from the pipelines contract referred to above and is expected to last approximately two years.
Water injection project, Kuwait
In August 2010, we were awarded a further EPC project by KOC for US$430 million for effluent water and sea water injection facilities. The project involves the installation of a new central injection pumping facility and modifications to three existing gathering centres and seawater treatment plant. When completed, both effluent water and sea water will be fed into a central injection pumping facility and injected into the wells with the objective of increasing oil recovery from the Raudhatain and Sabriyah fields. Completion is estimated within 36 months.
SEPAT offshore early production system, Malaysia
In December 2010, we secured an award for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of an offshore early production system on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The contract, worth approximately US$280 million, was awarded by Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd. First oil is expected by the end of 2011 and the project is estimated to be completed by April 2012.
South Yoloten development, Turkmenistan
In December 2010, we commenced the second phase of the South Yoloten contract, worth US$3.4 billion, for Turkmengas, the state-owned national gas company of Turkmenistan. This followed the completion of the first phase of the project, which involved a front end engineering and design (FEED) study and early engineering work for the gas processing development.
Operating review
41 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
The second phase of the contract is scheduled to last 31.5 months, during which time we will provide engineering, procurement and commissioning work on a lump-sum basis for a 10 bcma gas processing plant along with the infrastructure and pipelines for the entire 20 bcma development. The structuring of this contract in two phases was important for risk mitigation and the work completed in phase one gives us a higher level of confidence that we can execute the project in accordance with our high standards.

Results
High activity levels, due principally to projects won in 2009 and late 2008, resulted in Engineering & Construction growing revenues strongly by 29.7% to US$3,253.9 million (2009: US$2,509.0 million). The main contributors to revenue were: the El Merk central processing facility in Algeria; the Asab project in Abu Dhabi; the Kauther gas compression project in Oman; the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery pipelines project in Kuwait, and the Karan utilities package in Saudi Arabia.
Net profit increased by 40.7% to US$373.0 million (2009: US$265.1 million), representing a net margin of 11.5% (2009: 10.6%). The increase in net margin is due to continued strong operational performance, including the delivery of a number of projects during the year, and first time profit recognition on a number of projects. A variation order on a project agreed in the first half of 2010 was not reflected in the interim results, leading to an understatement of revenue by US$35 million and net profit by US$32 million. These amounts have been recognised in the second half of 2010 and therefore there is no overall financial impact on the reported results for the year ended 31 December 2010.
Over the year, Engineering & Construction grew its headcount from 4,200 to 5,400, in response to the record intake in 2009 and in anticipation of our largest ever award, in Turkmenistan. In addition, headcount in our engineering offices in Mumbai and Chennai, which principally support our Engineering & Construction activities – although they are reported within our Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions segment – also grew strongly. At 31 December 2010, we had approximately 1,600 employees in our Indian offices (2009: 1,300).
At 31 December, the Engineering & Construction backlog stood at a record US$9.0 billion (2009: US$6.2 billion), reflecting the high level of order intake during the year.

Offshore Engineering & Operations
Offshore Engineering & Operations provides engineering and construction services at all stages of greenfield and brownfield offshore projects. In addition, through the provision of operations management services, we deliver production and maintenance support and extend field life.
Offshore Engineering & Operations’ activities are primarily in the UKCS and are predominantly provided on a reimbursable basis, but often with incentive income linked to the successful delivery of performance targets. Many of our operations contracts are long-term (typically three to five years) and in the case of the provision of Duty Holder services[1] are often open-ended.
Activity levels in Offshore Engineering & Operations improved in 2010 due to the commencement of work on major contracts awarded in 2009, good bidding success and a general improvement in market conditions. Our strong record of operational performance, company-wide capability and established presence in core markets helped us achieve an order intake of US$1.6 billion, taking backlog to record levels of US$2.4 billion.

Providing Duty Holder services to Sajaa Gas Plant, Sharjah
Operating review
43 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
The key awards secured were:
In addition to securing these new awards, we have been successful in extending a number of our operations and maintenance contracts with both oil majors and independents. These include a five-year agreement with BHP Billiton to provide operations and maintenance personnel support for the Liverpool Bay Development in the Irish Sea and a five-year extension to our operations and maintenance support contract with CNR International in the North Sea.
Sharjah Government Duty Holder contract, UAE
In October 2010, we secured a Duty Holder contract to provide a full range of facilities management services to the Government of Sharjah on the Sajaa Gas Plant and related assets. This contract, which furthers our aim to grow the Offshore Engineering & Operations business internationally, will run for five years and is worth more than US$250 million.
From October 2010, the technical services agreement with the Government of Dubai was reported through the Offshore Engineering & Operations reporting segment (having previously been reported through Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions). The transition from having operational control over these assets to the new technical services agreement was effected smoothly.
Laggan Tormore EPC contract, UK
In October 2010, we won an engineering, procurement, supply, construction, commissioning and start-up contract with Total for the development of a gas processing plant on the Shetland Islands. Offshore Engineering & Operations will develop this facility, supported by Engineering & Construction. This is the first time that we have secured a predominantly lump-sum EPC contract in the UK. The contract is worth more than £500 million, with first gas expected in Q2 2014.
Acquisitions
We successfully completed two small acquisitions in 2010 which broaden our capability: Scotvalve Services Limited, which provides servicing and repair for oilfield pressure control equipment, and Stephen Gillespie Consultants Limited, which designs and manufactures metering systems (see note 10 to the financial statements).
Maersk Oil engineering services contract, UK
In November 2010, we were awarded a contract worth £40 million over three years for the provision of engineering services to the UKCS assets of Maersk Oil. The contract includes three one-year options for extension, and broadens Petrofac’s scope of services for these assets, building upon the offshore operations and support services we have been providing since 2000.
Results
Reported revenue for the year increased by 15.2% to US$721.9 million (2009: US$626.7 million) and revenue excluding ‘pass-through’ revenue[1] increased by 20.6% to US$526.4 million (2009: US$436.4 million), reflecting the
==> picture [343 x 250] intentionally omitted <==
commencement of major contracts secured in the second half of 2009 and a general improvement in the operating environment. Approximately 90% of Offshore Engineering & Operations’ revenue is generated in the UKCS, with these revenues generally denominated in Sterling. The average US Dollar to Sterling exchange rate for 2010 was broadly similar to the rate for 2009.
Net profit increased by 34.5% to US$17.2 million (2009: US$12.8 million), again reflecting increased activity levels. Net margin on revenue excluding pass-through revenue increased to 3.3%, compared to 2.9% in 2009, driven by new higher margin contracts.
Over the year, Offshore Engineering & Operations grew its headcount from 4,100 to 4,400, mostly attributable to the staff added on new contracts, including Laggan Tormore and the Sharjah Government Duty Holder contract.
Backlog for Offshore Engineering & Operations increased to a record high of US$2.4 billion at 31 December 2010 (2009: US$1.6 billion). This includes approximately half of the backlog booked in relation to the Total EPC contract awarded in October 2010. The remainder of the backlog has been booked by Engineering & Construction, as it will support Offshore Engineering & Operations on the project.
1 Pass-through revenue refers to the revenue recognised from low or zero margin third-party procurement services provided to customers.

Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions
The Engineering Services, Training Services and Production Solutions business units are reported together in this segment.
Engineering Services provides early stage engineering studies, including conceptual studies and FEED studies, primarily on a reimbursable basis. Engineering Services has two offices in India – in Mumbai and Chennai – which primarily support Engineering & Construction and a UK office in Woking which is more externally focused. Activity levels were significantly higher at our Indian offices in 2010, reflecting Engineering & Construction’s increased demand for the unit’s services, resulting from the reporting segment’s record backlog entering into 2010 and its contract wins throughout the year. At our Woking office activity levels were marginally lower. Utilisation rates rose across all three offices throughout 2010.
Training Services provides competenceled training services, consultancy and managed solutions which are designed to increase competence and minimise risk. Services are provided primarily on a reimbursable basis. Delegate numbers
were slightly higher than in 2009, and we saw strong growth from international markets, including our facilities at Sakhalin Island, Russia, and Baku, Azerbaijan. In October 2010, our training centre located near Homs in Syria was opened at a ceremony attended by the Syrian Prime Minister. The facility, which Petrofac will operate for five years, will deliver operations and maintenance training for Syrian graduates joining the oil & gas industry.
Training Services remains focused on strategic business development opportunities, both in the UK and internationally. Demand for our Training Services business is driven by a number of factors, including the ‘nationalisation’ of government workforces, the ageing of the industry’s personnel and the potential increase in industry regulation in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico incident; these provide us with interesting medium to long-term opportunities.
Production Solutions provides customers with a wide range of services to help improve production, profitability, operational efficiency, asset integrity and the recovery of their reserves. In addition to providing these specialist services on a stand-alone basis, we are increasingly offering customers these services packaged together where we are remunerated on a tariff or quasi-equity basis. We were awarded our first such ‘production enhancement’ contract by Petrom in early July 2010. Under the terms of the 15-year contract, which includes an option for extension by a further ten years, Petrofac will provide production enhancement services to Petrom as the concession holder for the Ticleni oilfield and its eight satellite fields in Romania. We will be paid a tariff per barrel of oil produced, including an enhanced tariff for incremental production. Petrofac successfully completed the transition to assume full operational responsibility for these fields in November 2010: average oil production volumes from the first two months of operation were around 2.3% above baseline production.

In November 2010, Production Solutions entered into a strategic alliance with Seven Energy International Limited (‘Seven Energy’), a Nigerian production and development company. Under the terms of the agreement Petrofac agreed to invest US$100 million to acquire a 15% interest in Seven Energy (12.6% on a fully diluted basis) and will assist Seven Energy with the development of its production, processing and transportation assets. Seven Energy has also issued warrants which, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions and milestones in relation to project execution, will enable us to invest up to a further US$52 million, and take our interest to 19.2% on a fully diluted basis. Petrofac is providing experienced personnel to Seven Energy and is represented on its Board and management committees. The opportunity to co-invest and co-develop with Seven Energy, while deploying some of our own people, will give us the platform to establish a local presence in Nigeria, a high growth market where we have been seeking commercial opportunities for some years.
In October 2010, following a successful three and a half years of our service operator contract for Dubai Petroleum’s offshore oil & gas assets, we successfully completed the transition to a technical services agreement with the Government of Dubai. The technical services agreement will be reported through Offshore Engineering & Operations.

Dubai Petroleum
Net profit was 14.8% lower at US$27.6 million (2009: US$32.4 million), principally reflecting the change in scope on the Dubai Petroleum contract. This was also the primary driver for net margin on revenue excluding pass-through revenue falling to 8.5% (2009: 10.4%).
Acquisitions
Within Engineering Services, the acquisition of TNEI represents the first step in positioning Petrofac in the renewable energy sector. TNEI was acquired in June 2010 for a total consideration of £6.1 million (see note 10 to the financial statements). TNEI is a specialist consultancy providing services in the areas of power transmission and distribution, particularly in relation to offshore wind projects, planning and environmental consent and energy management. TNEI has 50 staff in Newcastle and Manchester. The acquisition further broadens Petrofac’s technical consulting capacity.
At 31 December 2010, headcount – including long-term contractors – was higher at 3,400 (2009: 2,900). The addition of approximately 900 Romanian workers on the Ticleni oilfield more than offset the reduction in headcount that followed the transfer of Dubai Petroleum staff to the Government of Dubai. We also continued to grow our Mumbai and Chennai offices, which are reported through Engineering Services but predominantly support the businesses in our Engineering & Construction reporting segment. We have recently decided to open a third Indian office in Delhi, and expect to accomplish this during 2011.
Results
Reported revenue for the year was slightly higher at US$355.3 million (2009: US$349.7 million) as was revenue excluding ‘pass-through’ revenue at US$322.8 million (2009: US$309.7 million), with an increase in revenues in both Engineering Services and Training Services being partially offset by lower revenues in Production Solutions as a consequence of the transition of our role on the Dubai Petroleum contract from service operator to a technical services agreement (and now accounted for in Offshore Engineering & Operations).
Backlog for the Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions reporting segment was unchanged at year-end, at US$0.3 billion (2009: US$0.3 billion). The main factors affecting backlog related to Production Solutions, which saw order intake – primarily arising from the Ticleni contract – offset by the change in scope on the Dubai Petroleum contract.

Energy Developments
Where we can leverage our service capabilities to realise value, mitigate risks and reduce costs, Energy Developments provides a fully integrated service for resource holders under flexible commercial models that are aligned to their requirements. Projects cover upstream developments, both greenfield and brownfield, and related energy infrastructure projects, and can include the provision of capital.
are reimbursed for development costs and their share of the project’s operating costs. The joint venture contractors’ return for undertaking this investment is earned by way of remuneration equivalent to a percentage of the eligible development costs and our entitlement is paid from the monthly liquids production; hence any changes in production will vary the number of days over which the entitlement is earned.
Overall production was slightly lower than in 2009, averaging approximately 113,000 bpd of oil equivalent (2009: 123,100 bpd of oil equivalent). On average, we earned our share of the monthly liquids production by the 11th day of the month (2009: 15th), reflecting higher average oil & gas prices, partly offset by slightly lower production rates. The RSC contract is due to expire at the end of October 2011; eight years from first gas, over which time we expect to have earned our defined return.
Chergui field, Tunisia
In the first demonstration of our ‘build and harvest’ strategy, we completed the demerger of Energy Developments’ UKCS assets, including its investments in the Don fields, in April 2010. These assets were demerged to create EnQuest PLC, an independent company which subsequently listed on the London and Stockholm stock exchanges. Our investment in the Don project generated a capital gain of US$124.9 million and an internal rate of return from inception to demerger of approximately 35%. We believe this transaction demonstrates the value of our ‘build and harvest’ strategy.
During the year, good progress was made on Energy Developments’ portfolio of operational assets (Cendor, Ohanet, Chergui and the Kyrgyz Petroleum Company (KPC) refinery), as explored below:
Cendor PM304, Malaysia
Energy Developments operates the Cendor field, in Block PM304, offshore Peninsular Malaysia, in which it holds a 30% interest. This interest was acquired in 2004 and is held by way of a production sharing contract (PSC). Energy Developments’ partners on this field are PETRONAS, Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) and PetroVietnam, which hold interests of 30%, 25% and 15% respectively.
The Cendor field had another year of good performance, producing an average of 13,300 bpd of oil (2009: 14,400 bpd) and achieving production uptime of over 99%. Production is now in decline as a result of the natural decrease in field pressure. Energy Developments received approval for the Field Development Programme (FDP) for the second phase of development of Block PM304 in November 2010. This second phase will involve the replacement of the existing Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) and Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessel with a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel and fixed wellhead structures, designed to increase production capacity to 35,000 bopd. Preparations for this second phase are progressing well with the aim of beginning work in the first half of 2011.
Ohanet, Algeria
Energy Developments, in a joint venture with BHP Billiton (as joint venture operator), Japan Ohanet Oil & Gas Co and Woodside Energy (Algeria), has invested more than US$100 million for a 10% share in a RSC with Sonatrach, Algeria’s national oil company. Through Engineering & Construction, we undertook the EPC contract for the gas processing facilities in joint venture with ABB Lummus and were responsible for part of the on-site commissioning works. As part of the RSC, the joint venture contractors
In Tunisia, Energy Developments has a 45% operating interest in the Chergui gas plant. This interest was obtained in 2007 from Entreprise Tunisienne d’Activités Pétrolières (ETAP), the Tunisian national oil company, which holds the remaining 55% interest. Energy Developments’ interest is held through a Concession. The commercial export of gas commenced in August 2008. Produced gas is sold to the national gas company, Société Tunisienne de Lélectricité et du Gaz (STEG), under a gas pricing formula fixed by existing law, in which the price of gas is linked to free-on-board Mediterranean (FOB Med) fuel oil prices.
The Chergui gas plant produced an average of 27.8 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas during the year (2009: 26.5 mmscfd), above the original nameplate design capacity of 20 mmscfd. A third production well was tied into the plant in early July 2010 to boost the production rate and increase gas recovery: production in December 2010 was the highest recorded rate since the start-up of the gas plant in June 2008. The development programme for 2011 includes the commitment to drill two to three wells to increase reserves and to explore the production of oil, as well as gas, from the field. Following recent civil unrest in Tunisia, we have had some short unplanned shut-ins of production, but generally the plant is operating normally. We continue to keep the situation under review.

KPC refinery, Kyrgyzstan
Energy Developments owns a 50% share in the Kyrgyz Petroleum Company (KPC) which is engaged in the refining of crude oil and the marketing of oil products from the 10,000 bpd capacity KPC refinery. KPC is jointly owned by Petrofac and Kyrgyzneftegaz, the state-owned oil & gas company in the Kyrgyz Republic. Petrofac has managed KPC’s facilities and operations since 1998.
During 2010, the refinery performed in line with expectations, producing an average of approximately 1,700 bpd (2009: 2,000 bpd), principally of gasoline, diesel and fuel oil. The decrease in throughput was primarily due to civil unrest in the country, which shut down operations and halted processing at the refinery in April and June 2010. On both occasions the demobilisation of expatriate and local staff was deemed necessary.
FPF1 Floating Production Facility, undeployed
In July 2009, Energy Developments acquired a floating production facility, AH001 (subsequently renamed the FPF1), from Hess and Endeavour Energy UK. The FPF1 had been deployed on the Hess-operated Ivanhoe
and Rob Roy Fields, in the UK North Sea, from 1989, with the Renee and Rubie Fields produced over it since 1999. The vessel has a processing capacity of 45,000 bpd of oil and 56 mmscfd of gas with water injection capability of 90,000 bpd and water treatment of 40,000 bpd.
The vessel remains quayside at the McNulty offshore facility in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, while options for its redeployment on fields, including those where Energy Developments has or can take an interest, are considered. Several options for deployment, including in the UK North Sea, have been identified and are being pursued with conceptual engineering and proposal preparation work. We expect that a redeployment contract for the vessel will be secured in 2011. We are currently completing general repair and upgrade work on the vessel, which will be followed by planned specific dry-dock work to satisfy external verification requirements to obtain a class certificate. This will enable the FPF1 continued operation in the harsh environment of the UK North Sea for ten years, without the need for a special survey.

Gateway Storage Company Limited, UK
In December 2010, Energy Developments acquired a 20% interest in Gateway Storage Company Limited (Gateway), to progress and develop the Gateway Gas Storage project in the East Irish Sea. This project would add nearly 30% to the current gas storage capacity in the UK market, and has secured the first gas storage licence from the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change in February 2010. Petrofac joined Gateway as the technical project operator and is represented on Gateway’s board.
Berantai field development and East Fortune FPSO, Malaysia In January 2011, Energy Developments signed a RSC to lead the development of the Berantai field, offshore Peninsular Malaysia, for PETRONAS, Malaysia’s national oil company. Petrofac has a 50% interest in the RSC, alongside our Malaysian partners Kencana Energy Sdn Bhd and Sapura Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd, both of which hold a 25% interest (together known as the ‘Berantai partners’). The Berantai partners will develop the field and will subsequently operate the field for a period of seven years after first gas production.
The capital budget for the full field development, excluding delivery of the FPSO, is approximately US$800 million,
of which Petrofac’s share is 50%. Under the terms of the RSC, the Berantai partners are expected to receive a rate of return linked to their performance against an agreed incentive structure, including project costs, timing to first gas and sustained gas delivery measured six months after project completion, with an ongoing incentive structure based on operational uptime.
Acquisitions
Petrofac completed the acquisition of CO2DeepStore in April 2010, a UK-based CO2 storage company (see note 10 to the financial statements). The combination of CO2DeepStore and Petrofac establishes a leading development capability for CO2 storage projects, providing a complete service for power generators and other CO2 emitters.
In October 2010, CO2DeepStore signed an agreement with Shell U.K. Limited (Shell) for the re-development of the Goldeneye gas field in the North Sea as a potential CO2 storage facility. The agreement will see CO2DeepStore and Shell work together to develop the potential CO2 storage solution for the ScottishPower Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project. Work on the initial design phase for the project is due to complete in the first half of 2011 and, subject to satisfactory contract negotiations, achieve contract award later in the year.
CO2DeepStore provides investment and service capability for the CCS market

Results
Energy Developments’ revenue was lower at US$188.2 million in 2010 (2009: US$248.7 million), primarily due to the disposal of the Don assets following the April 2010 demerger. On a like-for-like basis (excluding the contribution of the Don assets), Energy Developments’ revenue was marginally higher at US$172.8 million this year (2009: US$170.4 million).
Including the gain on the EnQuest demerger, net profit for Energy Developments rose by 238% to US$156.4 million (2009: US$46.2 million). Excluding this gain, despite the higher average oil price in 2010[1] and notwithstanding the non-recurring NT/P68 write-off of US$3.7 million in the prior year, the loss of contribution from the Don assets as well as lower production on Cendor meant that profit was lower at US$31.5 million (2009: US$46.2 million). On a like-for-like basis (excluding the contribution of the Don assets and the gain on the EnQuest demerger), trading net profit for Energy Developments was US$29.4 million in 2010 (2009: US$33.5 million).
At 31 December 2010, headcount had grown to 600 (2009: 500).
An analysis of Energy Developments’ oil & gas reserve entitlements is presented on page 159.

Financial review
Revenue
Group revenue increased by 19.1% to US$4,354.2 million (2009: US$3,655.4 million) due to strong growth in Engineering & Construction and Offshore Engineering & Operations, partly offset by a decrease in Energy Developments following the EnQuest demerger in April 2010. The strong growth in the Engineering & Construction reporting segment (up 29.7%), which accounted for approximately three-quarters of the group’s revenue, was as a result of high levels of activity on lump-sum EPC contracts, particularly on those contracts awarded in 2009 and late 2008. The increase in revenues in Offshore Engineering & Operations (up 15.2%) was as a result of activity on major contracts awarded in the second half of 2009 and 2010 and a general improvement in market conditions.
Operating profit
Group operating profit for the year was US$663.5 million (2009 restated: US$432.0 million), an increase of 53.6%. Excluding the gain on the EnQuest demerger, group operating profit increased by 24.7% to US$538.6 million (2009 restated: US$432.0 million) and operating margins increased to 12.4% (2009 restated: 11.8%). The increase in operating margin was predominantly due to an increase in the operating margin in Engineering & Construction, but also higher operating margins in Energy Developments and Offshore Engineering & Operations, partially offset by a reduction in operating margin in the Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions reporting segment and a decrease in the proportion of group operating margin generated by the high margin Energy Developments reporting segment following the EnQuest demerger.
Net profit
Reported profit for the year attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders increased 57.8% to US$557.8 million (2009 restated: US$353.6 million). Excluding the gain on the EnQuest demerger of US$124.9 million (2009: nil), profit for the year attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders increased to US$433.0 million (2009: US$353.6 million), an increase of 26.4% on a like-for-like basis[1] . The increase was driven primarily by strong revenue growth in Engineering & Construction along with
an increase in net margin due to excellent operational performance, with good progress on our portfolio of projects, including the completion or substantial completion of five large EPC projects during the year and first time profit recognition on a number of projects. The net margin for the group, excluding the gain on the EnQuest demerger, increased to 9.9% (2009: 9.7%), due to net margin improvement in Engineering & Construction and Offshore Engineering & Operations, offset by net margin reduction in the Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions and Energy Developments reporting segments and an increase in net corporate and other costs. Net corporate and other costs increased due to a reduction in intra-group interest income earned as a result of Petrofac Limited capitalising a loan to Energy Developments as part of the EnQuest demerger, corporate support costs incurred in relation to the demerger and an increase in other shareholder related costs.
EBITDA
Reported EBITDA increased 38.1% to US$759.4 million (2009 restated: US$549.7 million). Excluding the gain on the EnQuest demerger of US$124.9 million (2009: nil), EBITDA increased by 15.4% to US$634.5 million (2009 restated: US$549.7 million), representing an EBITDA margin of 14.6% (2009 restated: 15.0%). Despite an increase in EBITDA margins in the Engineering & Construction and Offshore Engineering & Operations reporting segments, only partially offset by lower margins in the Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions and Energy Developments reporting segments, the group EBITDA margin was lower due to a reduction in the share of group EBITDA, excluding the effect of corporate, consolidation and elimination adjustments, from the higher margin Energy Developments reporting segment following the EnQuest demerger (from 28.7% in 2009 (restated) to 17.8% in 2010). Engineering & Construction’s share of group EBITDA, excluding the effect of corporate, consolidation and elimination adjustments, and the gain on the EnQuest demerger, increased to 72.7% (2009 restated: 60.2%) due to strong revenue and margin growth in the Engineering & Construction reporting segment and the relative decrease in Energy Developments’ contribution.
+19% Group revenue increased to US$4,354.2 million.

Financial review
Backlog
The group’s combined backlog at the end of 2010 stood at record levels of US$11.7 billion (2009: US$8.1 billion), reflecting high levels of order intake during the year, both in Engineering & Construction (US$6.0 billion) and Offshore Engineering & Operations (US$1.6 billion).
Exchange rates
The group’s reporting currency is US Dollars. A significant proportion of Offshore Engineering & Operations’ revenue is generated in the UKCS and those revenues and associated costs are generally denominated in Sterling; however, there was little change in the average exchange rate for the US Dollar against Sterling for the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009 and therefore little exchange rate impact on our US Dollar reported results. The table below sets out the average and year-end exchange rates for the US Dollar and Sterling as used by the group for financial reporting purposes.
Interest
Net finance income for the year was lower at US$5.1 million (2009: US$6.4 million) due to lower average net cash balances compared to the prior year (see ‘Operating cash flow and liquidity’).
Taxation
An analysis of the income tax charge is set out in note 6 to the financial statements. The income tax charge for the year as a percentage of profit before tax was 16.5%. Excluding the gain from the EnQuest demerger (upon which there was no chargeable gain for UK corporate tax purposes), the income tax charge for the year as a percentage of profit before tax was marginally higher than the prior year at 20.3% (2009 restated: 19.3%). The increase was due to Energy Developments’ effective tax rate (excluding the gain from the EnQuest demerger) which increased to 50.3% (2009: 30.8%) due to ring fence expenditure supplement no longer being available for
claim following the EnQuest demerger. Notwithstanding the adjustments made in the prior year in respect of the applicability of the lower tax rate to the group’s projects in Oman, the Engineering & Construction effective tax rate decreased to 16.8% (2009 restated: 18.8%) due to material changes in the jurisdictions in which profits were earned.
Earnings per share
Fully diluted earnings per share increased to 162.46 cents per share (2009: 103.19 cents), an increase of 57.4%, in line with the group’s increase in profit for the year attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders. Excluding the gain on the EnQuest demerger, fully diluted earnings per share increased by 22.2% to 126.09 cents per share (2009: 103.19 cents).
Operating cash flow and liquidity
The net cash generated from operations was US$207.3 million (2009: US$1,276.3 million), representing 32.7% of EBITDA excluding the gain on the EnQuest demerger (2009: 228.3%). The lower net cash inflow compared to the prior year was due principally to an unwinding of advance payments received from customers in relation to Engineering & Construction projects, with the 20% advance payment on our major award in Turkmenistan not being received until after the year-end, and a build up of in work in progress. Much of the increase in work in progress related to one Engineering & Construction project, where billing was delayed pending contractual amendments. The work in progress position on this project began to improve during the second half of 2010 following finalisation of the contractual amendments and we expect it to normalise over the coming months.
At 31 December 2010, the group’s net cash was lower at US$975.3 million (2009: US$1,300.1 million) as the net result of cash generated from operating profits before working capital and other non-current changes of US$667 million, less:
-
net working capital outflows of US$451 million, including a reduction in advance payments received from customers and an increase in work in progress in relation to Engineering & Construction projects, totalling US$491 million (in 2009 the group received net working capital inflows of US$714 million, including US$439 million of advance payments on Engineering & Construction projects)
-
investing activities of US$254 million, including:
-
the investment of US$100 million to acquire a 15% stake in Seven Energy (12.6% on a fully diluted basis; see page 45 for details)
-
the acquisition of TNEI, CO2DeepStore, Scotvalve and Stephen Gillespie Consultants at a cost of US$15 million and the investment of an initial US$8 million for a 20% stake in Gateway Gas Storage (see page 48)
-
capital expenditure of US$59 million in relation to Energy Developments’ portfolio of assets, including US$26 million on the Don fields prior to the EnQuest demerger and US$16 million on Cendor PM304 near field development
-
capital expenditure on other property, plant and equipment of US$72 million, including temporary project camp facilities, office equipment and furniture and site-based vehicles, predominantly in Engineering & Construction
US$11.7bn
The group’s backlog stood at record levels at 31 December 2010.

Capital expenditure
including: Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment was lower during the year ended – payment of the 2009 final dividend 31 December 2010 at US$116.2 million (2009: and 2010 interim dividend totalling US$375.4 million), as almost three-quarters of US$132 million the capital expenditure in the prior year was – repayment of interest-bearing loans in relation to the now demerged Don assets. and borrowings of US$32 million The principal elements of capital expenditure during the year were:
-
financing the purchase of treasury shares for the purpose of making awards under the group’s share schemes of US$36 million
-
investment in temporary project camps, office improvements, equipment and furniture and vehicles in Engineering & Construction, reflecting the increase in activity levels and personnel, of US$60.1 million
-
taxes paid of US$99 million
The group reduced its levels of interestbearing loans and borrowings to US$87.7 million (2009: US$117.3 million) following scheduled loan repayments in 2010. Despite a reduction in the net assets of the group as a result of the EnQuest demerger, the group’s gross gearing ratio fell to 11.3% (2009 restated: 13.1%) reflecting the reduction in interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
-
additions to Energy Developments’ oil & gas assets, including:
-
development expenditure on the Don assets prior to demerger of US$26.1 million
-
upgrade works on the FPF1 floating production facility of US$7.3 million
Capital expenditure on intangible oil & gas assets during the year was US$15.6 million (2009: US$29.2 million) in respect of capitalised expenditure on near field appraisal wells in relation to Energy Developments’ interest in Block PM304, offshore Malaysia.
The group’s total gross borrowings before associated debt acquisition costs at the end of 2010 were US$91.8 million (2009: US$123.1 million), of which 39.5% was denominated in US Dollars (2009: 51.0%) and 60.5% was denominated in Sterling (2009: 49.0%).
Shareholders’ funds
As detailed in note 33 to the financial statements, the group maintained a balanced borrowing profile at 31 December 2010 with 51.7% of borrowings maturing within one year and 48.3% maturing between one and five years (2009: 47.2% and 52.8%). The borrowings repayable within one year include US$28.9 million of bank overdrafts (representing 31.5% of total gross borrowings), which are expected to be renewed during 2011 in the normal course of business (2009: US$46.6 million and 37.9% of total gross borrowings repayable within one year, including US$20.0 million of revolving credit facilities).
Total equity at 31 December 2010 was US$779.1 million (2009 restated: US$897.5 million). The main elements of the net movement were: net profit for the year of US$557.9 million, less dividends paid in the year of US$132.0 million, the distribution on the EnQuest demerger of US$544.5 million (see note 11 to the financial statements) and the purchase of treasury shares of US$36.5 million, which are held in the Petrofac Employees Benefit Trust for the purpose of making awards under the group’s share schemes (see note 23 to the financial statements).
Return on capital employed
The group’s return on capital employed, including the gain on the EnQuest demerger, for the year ended 31 December 2010 was 65.2% (2009: 46.9%).
Dividends and distribution
The Company proposes a final dividend of 30.00 cents per share for the year ended 31 December 2010 (2009: 25.10 cents), which, if approved, will be paid to shareholders on 20 May 2011 provided they were on the register on 26 April 2011. Shareholders who have not elected (before 4 March 2011) to receive dividends in US Dollars will receive a Sterling equivalent of 18.42 pence per share.
Together with the interim dividend of 13.80 cents per share (2009: 10.70 cents), equivalent to 8.91 pence, this gives a total dividend for the year of 43.80 cents per share (2009: 35.80 cents), an increase of 22.3%.
In addition to the interim and final dividends, the Company made a non-cash distribution of one EnQuest share for every one Petrofac Limited share held immediately prior to the demerger, which for accounting purposes had a total fair value of US$553.3 million, equivalent to 160.08 cents per share.

Our CSR strategy...
...allows us to grow our reputation as a socially responsible company
Planning for a better future
Petrofac works in partnership with the communities in which we operate. From our strategic commitment to training local workers to our joint business ventures with customers and sponsorships of schools, we work hand-in-hand with our stakeholders.
Such close partnerships underpin our business strategy. Our relationships with customers reflect, and depend upon, our respect for their communities and to recruit and retain exceptional people, we must be a responsible employer. To remain successful, we need to make responsible business practices – which to us mean achieving commercial success in ways that respect people, communities and the natural environment – part of our culture.
Due to our rapid growth our approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) has not been as coherent as we would have wished, but this is something we are proactively addressing. In 2010, our Board committed to the development of a new CSR strategy, aligned to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, to which we became a signatory in 2009. We also worked to strengthen the strategic focus, senior management and organisation of the areas that are particularly linked to the wider CSR arena: health, safety, security, environment and integrity assurance (HSSEIA), human resources (HR), compliance and community investment.
We are now embarking on a well-planned CSR journey: we still have a long way to go but believe recent activities have set us on the road to becoming the truly socially responsible company we want to be.
Health, safety, security and integrity assurance The safety of both our operations and our people is a strategic priority: in 2010, we took systematic steps to further protect both. Action included an international programme to assess and develop our oil spill response capability, comprehensive security arrangements in high-risk countries and a group-wide employee road safety awareness campaign.

Delivering...
Our business ethics
Ethical conduct is one of Petrofac’s five core values. We strive to display the highest standards of transparency and integrity in the way we operate, and to deliver on our promises.
As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, we are committed to making continuous improvements in our approach to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. In 2010, we submitted updates on our progress in the areas of the environment and anti-corruption which, as is customary, were posted on the Global Compact website.
Our Code of Business Conduct sets out clear standards of behaviour for our entire group and highlights our Speaking Up process whereby employees can raise concerns in complete confidence. We ask all our employees, partners and sub-contractors to acknowledge the code. By the end of 2010, around 6,000 employees have now completed a bespoke e-learning module on the code.
Stakeholder survey 100 stakeholders completed a reputation survey on Petrofac in 2010.

Combatting corruption
As our Code of Business Conduct states, Petrofac does not permit the giving or receiving of bribes. In 2010, in consultation with our businesses, we developed a risk management standard that covers the full remit of bribery and corruption in response to the UK Bribery Act 2010.
In 2011, we will deliver an extensive education programme across the group to implement our risk management standard and to help ensure that we have a consistent and effective risk management strategy for the prevention of bribery and corruption in our operations.
Other anti-corruption activities include:
-
commissioning Transparency International to review our bribery and corruption risk management system and attending a number of Transparency International sponsored events
-
being a signatory of the World Economic Forum’s Partnership Against Corruption Initiative and attending its annual conference in December 2010
Human rights
In 2010, Petrofac updated its ethical, social and regulatory risk policy (www.petrofac.com/ communities) to emphasise that it ‘does not engage in any business activities that could implicate the Company, directly or indirectly, in the abuse of human rights’. In 2011, we plan to undertake a review of our exposure to this risk in the countries in which we operate.
Engaging with our stakeholders
We are keen to learn from, and engage with, others to ensure that we pursue best practice and focus on the areas of most significance for our stakeholders.
During the year, we undertook our first stakeholder survey to gauge awareness of, and response to Petrofac. The survey was undertaken on our behalf by a specialist third party and around 100 of Petrofac’s stakeholders were surveyed on an unattributed basis, including: customers, partners, suppliers, shareholders, analysts, media, industry bodies, NGOs and community groups. The results were shared with the group’s leadership team at the annual leadership conference and will be used a benchmark for future surveys.
In 2010, we undertook a benchmarking exercise with Business in the Community (BITC) to assess our strengths and weaknesses across the four management areas: marketplace, workplace, community and environment. We have used the BITC framework to form the basis of our CSR reporting.
As a result we have developed a CSR strategy that addresses the most important corporate responsibility issues for Petrofac, namely: climate change, local content, skills and education and road safety.
In 2011, we plan to broaden the dialogue around our CSR strategy with the involvement of external audiences, as part of a stakeholder engagement programme.

Health, safety, security and integrity assurance
Ensuring...
The safety of our people, customers and operations is our highest priority.
In 2010, we continued to focus on two areas:
-
the technical integrity of the plants we design, build and operate, to minimise the risk of major accidents, such as fire and explosion
-
the prevention of occupational safety risks, to help prevent personal injury
Plant integrity
During the year, Petrofac reinforced the importance of robust asset integrity management with an internal education and awareness-raising programme. We designated 2010 as the Year of Integrity and Quality across our engineering businesses, and created supporting e-learning modules, DVDs of case studies and customised presentations. Technical integrity was the theme of our annual safety seminar, which was attended by 90 senior managers, including our Group Chief Executive, Group Chief Operating Officer and Petrofac’s seven business unit managing directors. We also created the role of Director of Integrity to champion best practice.

Our Asset Integrity Review Board met monthly to review plant integrity. The Board is chaired by our Offshore Engineering & Operations Managing Director and our HSSEIA Director and involves operations managers from all operated sites. The meetings help anticipate potential issues and provide a forum for peer review and support. In 2010, we improved the metrics we use to measure asset integrity performance and analyse trends. Each operation reports against around 30 measures covering plant reliability and condition, the management of maintenance and assurance activities and organisational matters such as competence assurance.
Following recent events in the Gulf of Mexico, we acted to confirm that our operations are protected against major incidents and, in the event they do occur, that we respond effectively. Our programme included:
-
an assessment of oil spill response capability at all oil & gas production facilities
-
■ review of emergency response arrangements
-
a technical safety review of five major facilities
-
new group standards for oil spill response and integrity management
-
a revision to our standards for emergency response and crisis management
We continued to work with the wider industry to reduce risk. Petrofac Training Services is a leading emergency response trainer, while our UK Emergency Response Service Centre in Aberdeen provides a 24-hour integrated response capability. We are members of the UK Oil Spill Prevention and Response Advisory Group and actively support the UK oil & gas industry safety initiative, Step Change in Safety, and its working groups.
A safe working environment We strive to ensure that all our people have a safe and secure workplace.
Sadly, in 2010, a fatal accident occurred at our El Merk project in Algeria. The incident was investigated fully and the results of the investigation were reviewed at our quarterly group Incident Review Board, which is a senior level review attended by all the business unit managing directors, to make sure that lessons learned from any significant incident are effectively shared.
The circumstances were also separately reviewed by the executive management team.
Notwithstanding this deeply regrettable incident, our safety performance – which we measure according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules – was maintained at a similar level to 2009. Our recordable incident frequency rate was 0.18 per 200,000 man-hours (2009: 0.36) and our lost time injury frequency rate was 0.026 (2009: 0.020). There were 13 ‘major potential incidents’ (2009: 23). ‘Potential’ is the key word here – the criteria for reporting is the potential for harm, so although very few of these incidents actually resulted in personal injury or damage, all were reviewed in great detail.
Safe driving is one of our eight ‘golden rules of safety’ and, in 2010, was the focus of a group-wide employee campaign. During the year, our vehicles travelled more than 77 million km between locations or on project sites: equivalent to driving almost 2,000 times around the globe. Our driving incident frequency rate, which records major or serious vehicle incidents, fell from 0.29 incidents per million km driven in 2009 to 0.03. Whilst this improvement is encouraging, we continue to regard driving as one of our biggest areas of risk and will not slacken our efforts to improve further.
We investigate all incidents and accidents, circulate guidance from lessons learnt and follow up actions. Our aspiration is to have no recordable incidents of any kind and were pleased that many sites achieved this during the year.

Staff health and welfare
In 2010, our recently appointed Group Head
of Security implemented a security audit of all our facilities. This rolling programme complements the security review and preparations we carry out before commencing all new projects. During the year, we carried out a comprehensive review in Turkmenistan and our move into Iraq and Nigeria involved particularly intensive security provisions.
High standards of staff health and welfare are both good employer practice and essential to efficient operations. We provide health and fitness checks for senior managers and comprehensive medical assessments for those at risk, particularly when located offshore and abroad. Exercise and recreational facilities are provided at most sites to encourage personal fitness and medical teams are based at most facilities. Occupational health support is also available.
We monitor intelligence about changing security situations and keep our staff informed, for example, by sending out weekly travel and security guidance. We act quickly to protect our people when conditions deteriorate: in 2010, we evacuated a number of staff from perceived trouble-spots.
Security
The hazardous nature of our work is heightened in some countries by political instability or civil unrest. To meet such challenges, Petrofac invests a great deal of effort in protecting the security of our people and of our physical assets.

Environment
Reducing...
In 2010, Petrofac acted to both limit our impact on the environment and to work with stakeholders to protect the natural world.
We appointed a Group Head of Environment, to help raise standards across the Company and lead strategic environmental initiatives. The new role complements the environment teams already active in our business units.
We also developed plans for a company-wide environment steering group, involving senior business heads and functional environment managers. This group will focus on strategic issues, such as pollution prevention, waste management and resource consumption, and will be supported by an environmental working group.
Our carbon footprint
Our operations, including joint venture operations but excluding customer-owned facilities, emitted 205,695 tonnes of CO2 (2009: 208,100). This reduction is due to the fact that our share of the CO2 emissions for the Dons field was lower as the asset was transferred to EnQuest PLC in April as a result of the demerger of our UKCS assets.
Petrofac is proactive in sharing carbon generation data. In 2010, we contributed to the worldwide Carbon Disclosure Project and, in the UK, participate in the Government’s Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme.
1,650 trees were planted as part of environment month campaign in 2010.
Monitoring for customers
As well as measuring our own carbon emissions, Petrofac monitors and collects carbon data for the facilities we manage for customers. We also perform more extensive monitoring for customers of the North Sea facilities that we operate, under the Oslo-Paris Convention environmental management requirements. Additionally, under the terms of the European Environmental Emissions Monitoring System, we monitor discharges of hydrocarbons, heavy metal and radiation contamination and for air emissions of sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic carbons, as well as for carbon dioxide. We also segregate all waste leaving operated facilities and report it by category.
Environmental standards
Comprehensive environmental impact assessments are carried out prior to all new projects. We follow a systematic approach to environmental management, even in geographies where such high standards are not required by law. Around 95% of work that we do, calculated by man-hours expended, is covered by the independently verified ISO 14001 international standard.

Contributing to communities We aim to bring Petrofac people and the community together to make a positive difference to our environment.
Our third annual Planet Petrofac environment month celebrated bio-diversity, in support of the United Nations’ ‘International Year of Bio-diversity’. Thousands of employees at 17 locations took part in such activities as mangrove and native tree planting, collections for orphanages, guided nature walks, community lectures and litter-collections on beaches and seabeds.
As part of our partnership with local communities, we are a member of the Arab Forum for Environment and Development and, within the UAE, work closely with the Emirates Environmental Group and sponsor a renewable energy research programme at the American University of Sharjah.

Our people
Supporting...
Our customers use Petrofac because they know they can rely on the skills and commitment of our people.
In 2010, we continued to take steps to ensure we had the best people, with the right skills, to serve our customers – not just now, but for decades to come. Such activity is essential in the context of the wider industry’s challenge to ensure it has the right talent for the future. We focused particularly on resourcing, talent management and employee engagement and on developing a more integrated organisation.
Effective resourcing
We applied a more strategic approach to Company-wide resourcing, including the drafting of a five-year human resource strategy and the appointment of a Head of Resourcing.
Our values
91% of participants in our survey share our Company values.
Petrofac people are:
safe
-
ethical
-
innovative
-
cost-conscious
-
responsive to customers and always focus relentlessly on delivering results
“ I never cease to be impressed by the determination of our people. Throughout our 30-year history, we have encountered numerous challenges, particularly in relation to the execution of our projects. In these instances it is the absolute commitment – the relentless focus – on finding a solution that has often created positive outcomes from difficult situations.”
Ayman Asfari Group Chief Executive
We recruited widely, including the appointment of more than 120 senior managers, to meet the immediate needs of our expanding business and help provide the next generation of leaders.
Reflecting our strategic commitment to local content, wherever possible, we aim to recruit, train and develop employees from local communities. For example, following the December 2010 award of a contract to develop the SEPAT offshore early production system in Malaysia, we are staffing the project almost entirely with local employees.
Talent management
We want to make sure our employees have the right technical and managerial skills to succeed. During the year, we further refined our development programmes for all levels of staff.
To coach the executives of tomorrow, we began a partnership with the London Business School to create ‘Petrofac Leadership Excellence’. The programme, to aid the development of our senior people, will be rolled out in 2011. In November 2010, we also gathered more than 70 of our most senior managers at a leadership conference to share best practice, strengthen relationships and teamwork, and build strategic understanding.
To nurture leadership potential, we assessed recent graduate recruits and designed development opportunities for those likely to become managers or directors. Additionally, all our business units took steps to create challenging assignments to equip people for more senior positions.
We built development frameworks for our wider workforce by commencing the introduction of individual development plans for all employees. The extension of our e-learning capability to around two thirds of our locations was another step towards our strategy of improving technical competences.
Creating one Petrofac
Our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, TEMPO, which we began rolling out in 2010, is helping to establish a consistent approach to group HR initiatives. The system supports the launch of a global performance management capability, including an annual appraisal with mid-year review, a common

behavioural competence framework and clear visibility of development needs. In another move towards group-wide consistency, we began the roll out of a global grading system for employees.
Petrofac has a committed and engaged workforce. In 2009, our biennial employee survey, PetroVoices, showed 91% of participants share company values and almost one in three employees are part of our share incentive schemes. As part of our support for employee share ownership, we implemented an employee share portal and an automated staff share dealing facility. In addition, in early 2010, we appointed an experienced Share Plan Manager to help improve our service to employees. We were delighted to be commended by ifs ProShare as part of its annual award scheme.
Effective communication
Communication is key to engaging our people and creating a unified culture.
During the year, we sought to communicate more effectively with our dispersed, multicultural workforce, many of whom work in remote locations with limited digital access.
Corporate social responsibility
65 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
...the development and training of our people
We created a team briefing framework, partly in response to calls for better internal communication, particularly at a local level, in the PetroVoices survey. ‘Team Talk’ incorporates strategic, business unit and local content and, following a 2010 pilot, will be rolled out globally. It will form one part of a planned ‘toolkit’ to help the whole business communicate more effectively.
Specific staff communication programmes supported key group activity, such as the EnQuest demerger, the employee grading initiative, the ERP roll out, the PetroVoices survey results and environment month. We also continued to produce the quarterly Petrofacts magazine and again ran the Picture Petrofac photography competition for staff.
In line with further PetroVoices survey feedback, our business units evolved their own communications strategies, supported by intranets, newsletters and event programmes.
In 2011, a new Internal Communications Manager will manage the continuing development of our employee communications offering, including the planned launch of a more powerful company-wide intranet. During the year, we will also undertake our third PetroVoices employee survey.
We are proud of how highly our people identify with our values; as mentioned above, in our most recent employee survey, 91% of participants said they shared Petrofac’s values.
In 2011, we will celebrate employees who particularly embody our values in the way they work, with the launch of the Petrofac EVE Awards programme, designed to recognise and reward excellence, values and energy. This is a new initiative that will be open to all employees worldwide to demonstrate how they embody one or more of the values in their daily activities. In addition to raising awareness of our values and what they mean, the awards seek to celebrate and recognise the achievements of the exceptional people who work across our group.

Community
Investing...
Petrofac aims to build relationships with, and to create value for, the communities we work with around the world.
Developing local workforces
Aspiring Syrian oil & gas workers now have the chance to develop their skills at the country’s first dedicated industry training centre.
The National Training Centre was designed, refurbished and equipped by Petrofac and was inaugurated in October 2010 by the Syrian Prime Minister, His Excellency Mohammad Naji Ottri. It will deliver year-long competence-led training courses to up to 120 Syrian people each year, with instruction in technical English and in technical and safety training across the electrical, mechanical, instrumentation and production disciplines.
==> picture [166 x 125] intentionally omitted <==
Speaking at the launch event Group Chief Executive Ayman Asfari said:
“ Petrofac has been active in Syria since the early nineties through our Engineering & Construction business and we have grown up alongside the oil & gas industry here. We have been honoured today by the presence of His Excellency the Prime Minister, which reflects the importance of this new facility to Syria and I am proud of our involvement.”
We believe this approach both fosters local stability, during the period of our projects, and by encouraging the development of the wider community – beyond our workforce – helps build sustainable communities for the long-term.
To ensure we approach future community investment in the best way, in 2010, we developed a new strategy. This new community investment strategy involves a five-stage process, as shown in the diagram below that will ensure that:
-
national community investment strategies are developed for each new market prior to entry, with CSR planning part of the pre-bid activity
-
local stakeholders are involved in strategic planning, to assess community needs and expectations, and in ongoing dialogue
-
evaluation systems are developed for all new projects

The strategy is being implemented by our first full-time Group Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, who was appointed in 2010.
Delivering projects with local employees is integral to our business strategy and one of our key differentiators. Our community investment approach supports this strategy, by helping to equip communities with essential skills.
In October 2010, we designed, refurbished and equipped Syria’s first oil & gas training centre (see case study) as a donation to the Syrian Government, in support of its drive to develop personnel for its growing oil & gas sector. In Algeria, we built a construction skills training centre to equip local people for work in the national oil & gas industry.
Apart from supporting professional development, our community investment programme fosters all levels of learning, from elementary and secondary schooling to higher education. This support ranges from providing scholarships to pupils in India and Kyrgyzstan to funding employee ‘science ambassadors’ who visit UK schools enthusing young people about science and engineering.
During the year, the first intake of UK engineering students from the Petrofac Royal Academy of Engineering Fellowship Programme finished their year-long masters courses. In financing the £250,000, three-year programme, we hope to go some way to offset the scarcity of engineers at Western universities that is leading to a critical skills shortage in our industry.

...in communities we live and work in
Reflecting the focus we place on safe driving internally, our community education focus extends to road safety. In the UAE, for example, we have committed Dhs 1.5 million to support a year-long Sharjah Police road safety campaign aimed at young drivers and in the UK donated £15,000 to an Aberdeenarea school ‘Safe Drive Stay Alive’ campaign.
Engaging employees
Staff CSR champions encourage our people to engage in local good causes around the world. In 2010, employee-led activity included Sharjah employees raising US$100,000 – which was matched by Petrofac – for Pakistani flood victims; Aberdeen staff raising £40,000 to fund juvenile diabetes research, and our Woking office sponsoring a teenage sailor with disabilities who is aiming to compete in the 2012 Paralympic Games.
Looking ahead, our key community objective for 2011 is to fully assess and understand the wide range of activities that we are involved in, across the organisation, and to measure their value. The development of KPIs for our community investment programme is another priority.
£100,000 Raised by employees for local good causes around the world.

Corporate governance report
Dear shareholder
==> picture [176 x 168] intentionally omitted <==
Rodney Chase
Your Board is responsible for promoting long-term shareholder value in a responsible manner that takes account of our various stakeholders.
This is my final governance report as I will be stepping down from the Board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). Since I joined the Board we have made great progress in many areas, including in relation to our governance framework. Nevertheless, we are always seeking to improve our processes, within the overarching principle that we do what is best for our Company and its shareholders.
We are aware that companies are, in my view quite correctly, being challenged to write governance reports that are more engaging and less riddled with the ‘fungus of boiler plate reporting’. In response, this year we have tried to write a more accessible report.
What is our approach to governance?
Petrofac is incorporated in Jersey and has a premium listing on the London Stock Exchange. The Company is therefore expected to meet the UK’s highest standards of regulation and corporate governance. A company with a premium listing is required by the United Kingdom Listing Authority to adopt the new UK Corporate Governance Code (‘UK Code’) regardless of whether it is incorporated in the UK or elsewhere.
This marks a change from last year when, due to our Jersey incorporation, we were not obliged to adhere to the UK Code’s predecessor, the Combined Code. At that time we were merely required to govern ourselves in line with governance practice in Jersey, where there is no formal code. However, Petrofac has chosen to follow the Combined Code since the Company first listed almost six years ago, as we felt it was best practice. We now welcome the change in the compliance regime for premium listed companies incorporated outside the UK.
We understand, though, that good governance goes beyond adherence to a code: although there is, of course, value in monitoring compliance against rules, which are generally formulated for good reason. Nevertheless, the fundamental value of good governance is that it seeks to ensure that a company is well run. As well as promoting challenge, accountability and transparency it provides a framework that articulates a company’s goals and objectives and allows decisions to be taken by the right people at the right time. We believe that we have made good progress in strengthening and deepening our governance framework this year and will aim to improve further in 2011.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) published the UK Code in 2010. The FRC published the new code earlier than originally planned both in response to various corporate failures in 2008 and the publication of the Walker report in 2009 on the governance of banks and other financial institutions. Questions were rightly asked at the time about whether the UK’s governance regime continued to be effective. While the FRC concluded that the UK’s ‘comply or explain’ regime continued to be largely appropriate, it introduced a number of changes that we welcome, in particular the more explicit requirement for boards to articulate their risk appetite and to identify and determine the significant risks they are prepared to take.
We are required to apply the UK Code from the start of 2011 and formally report against it for the first time next year. We believe, however, that it makes sense to tell you now about our progress in implementing the UK Code and this is what we have done even if some matters are still work in progress.
72 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
Corporate governance report continued
This is the last year we report our compliance with the old Combined Code and I am pleased to say that we consider that, throughout 2010, the Company complied with the main principles and all relevant provisions of the 2008 Combined Code.[1]
In addition to this report, the Company has also prepared a corporate social responsibility (CSR) report that addresses our engagement with society in general. This is on pages 56 to 67.
What should the Board be doing?
Your Board is responsible for promoting long-term shareholder value in a responsible manner that takes account of our various stakeholders.
We provide entrepreneurial leadership that has grown and, we believe, will continue to grow the business. To enable such continued growth, we set corporate strategy and make sure that Petrofac has appropriate financial capital and the right kind of people to deliver that strategy.
To attract and retain high calibre employees, we also seek to ensure that the Company has the right remuneration policy and, to make sure that we remain sustainable, we focus on succession planning.
We want our men and women to share our values, as well as having the correct technical expertise. This is particularly important for an international company like Petrofac, with employees drawn from more than 70 nations. Your Board works hard to set the right tone by taking responsibility for our Code of Business Conduct and for other important group policies.
What did the Board do in 2010?
Having given some idea of our general responsibilities, I will now set out some of the specific things that your Board did in 2010. It is not an all encompassing list, but it does include some of the year’s key highlights.
Entrepreneurial leadership
Entrepreneurial leadership could be paraphrased as our management team putting strategy into action. This year, the Board spent significant time overseeing the demerger of the Don assets into EnQuest PLC, which represented a delivery of the ‘build and harvest’ strategy for Energy Developments. Also significant were the Board’s approval for the Ticleni contract and our investment in Seven Energy International Limited, which saw us both move into new geographies and do so via novel commercial arrangements which we want to pursue. We also monitored the progress of the South Yoloten contract in Turkmenistan throughout 2010 and were pleased to end the year having successfully completed the conversion of its second phase.
Setting the tone
We approved a number of policies, including our HSSEIA plan for 2010. We worked hard to develop a more strategic approach to our CSR activities. We now have a dedicated Group Head of CSR and monitored ongoing progress with two formal updates. We also spent considerable time in Risk Committee discussing our response to the Bribery Act 2010. Doubtless, such discussions will continue in 2011 particularly as the UK Government recently announced a delay in implementing the Act.
Setting strategy
Taking and managing risks are an integral part of being entrepreneurial. Nevertheless, it is vital that we know and understand the significant risks that the Company faces. Ensuring that Petrofac has an appropriate framework of internal controls and risk management is, therefore, an essential part of your Board’s work.
We work to promote the success of the Company for many people but our shareholders are, of course, our principal focus. An essential part of our job, therefore, is maintaining a dialogue with shareholders.
We increased the time spent on discussing and setting strategy. As well as having a dedicated day in May focused on strategy, we now spend most of our December board meeting monitoring progress in strategic delivery, with reference to our budget and five-year plans.
Increasing effectiveness
We undertook an externally facilitated board evaluation.
Succession planning
The Board has a formal schedule of matters reserved to it for decision, which includes:
-
setting the group’s strategy
-
■ approval to enter into contracts which are deemed to be material either strategically or by reason of size
-
approval of the annual budget
-
approval of major corporate transactions
-
approval of major changes to the group’s capital structure
The quite extensive changes in the Board’s composition are the culmination of more than a year’s work.
Accountability
We have started a process to ensure that we comply with the UK Code’s new requirement that a board should articulate explicitly its risk appetite and determine the nature and extent of the significant risks it is prepared to take. This will complement our long established framework of internal controls and risk management.
-
approval of key policies, such as those relating to Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Integrity Assurance (HSSEIA) and our Code of Business Conduct
-
preparing the group’s financial statements
-
recommending or declaring a dividend
-
reviewing the group’s overall governance arrangements including approval of the matrix of delegated authorities
-
■ maintaining effective internal controls and risk management ■ succession planning and appointments to the Board ■ setting senior executive remuneration
■ reviewing the performance of the Board itself and its committees

Who is on the Board?
As Chairman, I am responsible for leading your Board and ensuring that it operates effectively. After a relatively long period of stability, there have been a number of membership changes. As it is now almost six years since we listed, this reflects our broad policy that non-executive directors should generally serve two three-year terms.
We currently have 11 directors comprising the Chairman, six nonexecutive directors and four executive directors and they are listed in the table below.

This is intended, however, to be a temporary state of affairs. After more than six years on the Board, both Kjell and I will be stepping down from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM and the Board will once again revert to nine directors.
You can find biographies of your directors on pages 68 to 70. We have made considerable efforts to build a Board with the right balance of diversity and industry expertise. Diversity is healthy as it helps guard against ‘group think’ and promotes constructive, challenging debate. You will see that your directors are drawn from across the world and have varied career histories with no single type of person dominating the Board. We are, however, fortunate in that our Board has directors with a great deal of experience in the oil & gas industry both in exploration and production and lump-sum contracting. This is essential if we are to safeguard the interests of shareholders.
All non-executive directors who served during 2010 and to date are independent in judgement and character. Directors are required to disclose any potential conflict to the Board for its consideration and I am not aware of any relationship or circumstance which is likely to prejudice, or could appear to prejudice, the judgement of any director.
During 2010, Bernard de Combret, Michael Press and Amjad Bseisu stepped down from the Board and I thank each of them for their respective contributions to the growth of Petrofac. Thomas Thune Andersen and Stefano Cao are proving worthy successors. This year, Roxanne Decyk, Norman Murray and Andy Inglis joined the Board and I welcome them. Norman Murray will take over as Chairman subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.
How is the Board organised?
As a Jersey company, our Board is unitary in nature. This means that all our directors share equal responsibility for the decisions that we make. Executive and non-executive directors need to be able to work together in an atmosphere of openness, trust and mutual respect. It is therefore important that all directors see the Chairman as a fair and impartial individual. His relationship with the Group Chief Executive and the Senior Independent Director are particularly important since these two individuals represent the views of management and non-executive directors, respectively.
I hold regular private meetings with Ayman Asfari and Kjell Almskog both between and at our board meetings. I believe, therefore, that I am equally informed about the views of management and non-executive directors. This insight assists me in two ways: I am better able to set the agenda for our board meetings and I can ensure that all directors contribute at our meetings.
Both the Chairman and Group Chief Executive have clearly defined terms of reference and these are set out in writing. The split in responsibilities is shown in the table below.

Our Secretary to the Board, Mary Hitchon, makes sure that we adhere to proper process and follow applicable rules and regulations. I rely upon her to advise me on governance matters and she is also available to all other members of the Board. Furthermore, if any director wishes to take independent professional advice at the Company’s expense, he or she can do so.
The Board is assisted by four committees, namely the Nominations, Audit, Risk and Remuneration Committees. Each committee is responsible for reviewing and overseeing activities within its particular terms of reference. At each face-to-face board meeting, the chairman of each committee provides a summary of any committee meeting held since the previous board meeting and the minutes of committee meetings are ordinarily circulated to the Board. Reports for 2010 from each of these committees are provided from pages 79 to 95 and copies of each committee’s terms of reference are available on the Company’s website. The Secretary to the Board acts as secretary to all of our committees.

How often does the Board meet?
Our Board meets face-to-face six times per year, generally for a minimum of two days. At least two of our meetings are longer as, during our annual programme of events, we also hold a dedicated strategy day and a site visit. Committee meetings are held first followed by a full board meeting. We set the calendar two years in advance, although there have been some occasions when we
have been forced to revise dates. Details of attendance by Board and committee members at such meetings in 2010 are detailed in the table below.
As well as our physical meetings, we hold a number of telephonic board meetings, generally to consider an item of business that cannot be held over until the next face-to-face meeting.

Where does the Board meet?
We hold our board meetings at a variety of locations across the globe. Nevertheless, we make sure that we always hold at least one meeting each year in Jersey, our place of incorporation. In addition, we hold one meeting each year in Sharjah as this is the location of our biggest office and the centre of our Engineering & Construction business. While in Sharjah, the Board takes the opportunity to meet around 50 members of our Sharjah management team over an informal dinner.
We also make sure that the Board holds one meeting where Petrofac has business. In October 2010, we visited both Singapore and Malaysia. In Singapore, we visited our training centre, where the Managing Director of Training Services and its local management team updated the Board on progress in relation to strategy for the business globally and for Singapore. We also met customers who use the training centre and had lunch with employees. In Malaysia, we met representatives of PETRONAS and other local partners over dinner before holding our board meeting the following day in our Kuala Lumpur office. Our board meetings not only allow us to consider formal business, they also help us to really get to know Petrofac, its people and its customers.
Who attends board meetings?
As well as directors and the Secretary to the Board, we have regular guests from operational and functional management. In 2010, Marwan Chedid, Gordon East, Rob Jewkes and Richard Milne, all members of senior management, whose biographies are provided on pages 50 and 51, attended part or all of at least one meeting. Several other members of operational management, one or two tiers below managing director level, also attended meetings. We also had regular updates from the functional heads of HSSEIA, human resources, strategy and CSR. We consider that this regular exposure to our senior management is beneficial. It helps directors get to know the Company and its senior management better and it makes for more effective board meetings that, whilst always professional, are nevertheless lively and engaging.
What is the selection process for the Board?
We have a formal, rigorous and transparent selection procedure for the appointment of directors.
The Nominations Committee is responsible for recommending a director to the full Board. The full Board, with the exception of the existing Chairman, takes responsibility for considering the appointment of a new Chairman.
For an executive appointment to the Board, the Nominations Committee will consider whether an individual is able to contribute both as an executive and at Board level. The Committee will assure itself that the individual will be able to think strategically and consider his or her responsibilities in relation to internal controls and risk management.
Individuals need to have sufficient time to give to our Board. Care is taken to establish the existing commitments of all prospective non-executive directors, particularly the Chairman. Individuals are required to let the Board know if their commitments change after appointment. There is a detailed report on the activities of the Nominations Committee on page 79.
How do we decide what directors are paid?
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining the remuneration and terms of employment of executive directors and some members of senior management. It is also responsible for determining the Chairman’s fee. A detailed report on the activities of the Remuneration Committee is provided on pages 84 to 95. Executive directors effectively determine the fees of non-executive directors since this responsibility lies with the Board as a whole, excluding those directors whose fees are being determined.
What is our approach to shareholders re-electing directors? In the past we followed the accepted convention that one third of our directors, generally the longest serving members of the Board, submit themselves for re-election at the AGM. The UK Code states, however, that all directors should submit themselves for re-election every year. There has been some ambiguity as to whether companies should seek to adopt the new recommendation in 2011 or 2012. Your Board has concluded that it would offer shareholders the opportunity to re-elect all directors at our 2011 AGM.
How do we get the best out of the Board?
It is important that we get the best out of our board meetings. We invest considerable time, effort and expense in arranging meetings so it is important that directors are able to make the best possible contribution. We believe that the following aspects of support for directors are essential:
-
board papers
-
Secretary to the Board
-
induction
-
training
-
evaluation
Board papers
It is essential that board papers are well written and relevant. They should be dispatched in a timely manner so all directors have adequate time to read them. Our papers are generally of a high standard and for our face-to-face meetings are dispatched in hard copy format to directors one week before a board meeting. This is important given that our directors are based around the world. When we hold a telephonic board meeting, the Secretary to the Board ensures that papers are circulated electronically, generally at least 24 hours before the meeting.
Secretary to the Board
It is important that Board members, particularly our non-executive directors, have a principal point of contact within the organisation. The non-executive directors receive a great deal of support from various individuals within Petrofac, particularly at committee level, and are encouraged to contact individuals directly if they wish. We do, however, have a highly capable Secretary to the Board whom we may approach for general support and advice, or when we do not know whom to contact on a particular matter. She ensures that we receive appropriate information, as and when appropriate, and this extends far beyond dispatching board papers or writing minutes.
76 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
Corporate governance report continued
Induction
Recent governance developments emphasise the importance of directors receiving an appropriate induction and ongoing training. In 2010, in liaison with Ayman Asfari and Maroun Semaan and with the help of the Secretary to the Board, I created induction programmes for our newly appointed non-executive directors Thomas Thune Andersen and Stefano Cao.

----- End of picture text -----
To ensure that time was spent constructively and conversations could focus on key topics, we encouraged all employees who met the directors to prepare a presentation.
We are currently in the process of developing and delivering tailored induction programmes for Roxanne Decyk, Norman Murray and Andy Inglis.
Training
The Chairman is responsible for the training needs of all directors, under the UK Code.
Whereas we have traditionally provided regular technical training updates during committee meetings, we are now developing a series of more formal seminars. These will be held outside committee meetings so that the topics under review can receive more time and focus and will be individually tailored for Petrofac. At least some of the seminars will be led by external advisers. We have always supported directors who wish to attend external seminars run by professional advisers and we will continue to do so.
Despite such general support, we have not always tracked the full extent of director training. Going forward, the Secretary to the Board will record all formal training undertaken by directors, both internally and externally. This will enable the Chairman to assess whether any Board members need additional training support.
Evaluation
ICSA Board Evaluation led a very helpful evaluation of our Board during the year. Each director was interviewed individually, on a confidential basis, by the same ICSA representative and asked for his views on topics relating to the Board’s performance. In addition, ICSA observers, including the interviewer, attended a board meeting.
ICSA presented a report of recommendations to the Board, after which directors were invited to comment. The Secretary to the Board and I subsequently worked together to place the recommendations within the broader context of a board’s responsibilities. We then discussed the Board’s performance at a further board meeting and agreed that we could be more effective by:
==> picture [256 x 229] intentionally omitted <==

Strategic discussion Increasing the amount of time we spend on
strategic discussion. We now have not only
a dedicated strategy day in May but a further
half day in December. In May we engage
in ‘blue sky thinking’ and in December
we monitor progress against strategy,
by reference to the group’s budget for the
forthcoming year and our five-year plans.
In addition, we have agreed a programme
of ‘deep dive’ presentations to the Board
on specific strategic matters
Risk appetite Seeking to articulate better our risk appetite
and significant risks
Succession planning Increasing our focus on succession planning
by ensuring the issue is regularly included on
the Nominations Committee agenda
Delegated authorities Revisiting our matrix of delegated authorities
so that the Board best uses the finite amount
of time available to it. The group has grown
extensively over recent years and it is no
longer appropriate for the Board to consider
certain matters which it considered in the past
----- End of picture text -----
These items are all work in progress with some more developed than others, as one would expect following a meaningful evaluation. Although we are required to conduct an annual appraisal the reality is that a board should always be seeking to improve its performance.
As in previous years, my appraisal was conducted by Michael Press, our then Senior Independent Director. Michael did this through a series of questionnaire led interviews with directors before meeting with me to present feedback.
How does the Board formally satisfy itself that it has sound risk management?
The Board is responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of Petrofac’s risk management and internal control systems, including financial, operational and compliance controls.
This year we decided that our annual review would be conducted by the full Board. In previous years, we relied upon the Audit Committee to conduct a review of our internal controls. We decided that this approach was no longer appropriate, given the increasing amount of work being done by the Risk Committee. At present the Audit Committee concentrates on financial internal controls and the Risk Committee focuses on operational controls. The combined work of the two committees provided the basis of a formal report to the full Board, after which we concluded that the group maintained a sound risk management and internal control framework.
As with all companies, our system of internal control and risk management can only ever provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
Corporate governance report
77 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
What is our reference for satisfying ourselves that we have a sound risk management system?
We look to the revised Turnbull guidance, which was published by the FRC in 2005. This is a principles based approach that requires your Board to be thoughtful about how best to discharge its obligations. Turnbull suggests that boards consider four broad themes when attempting to assess the internal control and risk management framework:
-
do you know and understand your significant risks?
-
how do you monitor your internal controls and risk management system?
-
is your Board receiving information which allows it to identify when delivery of its goals are under threat?
-
what is your general control environment like?
How does Petrofac monitor its internal control and risk management system?
Each of our business units has its own business management system that incorporates policies and procedures that assist with the business units’ risk management. In addition, each business unit produces its own risk matrix or register. Each business unit’s management team meets regularly and monitors the risk matrix as a matter of course. They note any change in risk assessment at an individual and aggregate level and seek to take appropriate mitigating action should they believe it necessary. The risk matrices for each business are formally reviewed each month by the following individuals:
-
Ayman Asfari , Group Chief Executive
-
Maroun Semaan , Group Chief Operating Officer
-
Keith Roberts , Chief Financial Officer
-
Richard Milne , Group Director of Legal & Commercial Affairs
The UK Code provides more explicit guidance than the old Combined Code in relation to significant risks. It states that a board should determine the nature and extent of the significant risks it is willing to take in order to achieve its strategic objectives. The change in emphasis means that going forward a board should be proactively articulating a company’s risk appetite rather than being satisfied with simply identifying and managing significant risks. We are currently reviewing our processes to meet the requirements of the UK Code more effectively.
How does the Board identify Petrofac’s significant risks? Our Head of Enterprise Risk Management provides the Board with a written report before each board meeting giving details of our current significant risks and how we plan to mitigate them. The risks that we consider significant today are shown on pages 30 to 35.
Our Head of Enterprise Risk Management drafts his report by reference to:
-
risk matrices he receives from each of our individual business units (bottom up approach)
-
the work of the Enterprise Risk Committee which is chaired by the Group Chief Operating Officer (top down)
How do we intend to respond to changes in the UK Code regarding risk management?
Your Board established a Risk Committee in 2007, with the remit to oversee the group’s framework of operational internal controls and risk management systems. As reported last year, the Committee approved three group policies, as shown in the table below. These policies were reviewed during the course of the year and revised as appropriate. The Committee considers performance against each policy at least once a year. Through the policies, we feel that the Committee goes a long way to articulating the Company’s risk appetite and we will continue to build on this work.

- Paul Green , Head of Enterprise Risk Management
If a situation occurs which local management judges to be serious, it will be reported up the chain of command immediately.
We have a group internal audit department. The Audit Committee approves its audit universe and its annual plan of audits and the Group Head of Internal Audit attends all Audit Committee meetings, when he reports on any significant findings in relation to our internal controls. The Group Head of Internal Audit would report any serious weakness or lapse in internal controls, including evidence of fraud, to the chairman of the Audit Committee upon discovery. As customary with an organisation of our size, we rely upon self-assessment by employees to some extent. All senior managers and selected employees are required to provide an annual assurance that they have complied with the group’s Code of Business Conduct during the year.
Does the Board receive information which allows it to identify when delivery of its goals are under threat? The Board receives a comprehensive written report from Keith Roberts, the Chief Financial Officer, at each face-to-face board meeting as well as periodic updates between such meetings. The Board is kept very well informed about the group’s financial performance for the year to date compared to the year’s budget or the latest revised forecast. Explanations for variances are provided. The budget and five-year plans provided by management for the Board’s review incorporate risk analysis as a matter of course. Over the years this analysis has increased in sophistication and will doubtless continue to do so.
Of course, in addition to financial goals, we have strategic and operational goals. Ayman Asfari provides us with a full presentation on business operations at each face-to-face board meeting, during which he highlights possible impediments to the delivery of our goals.
What does Petrofac’s general control environment look like? This is quite hard to define but easier to recognise. To do so, it is worth asking such questions as:
-
does the Company seem well run with processes that employees know about and adhere to?
-
do employees understand the minimum behaviour expected of them and conversely what will not be tolerated?
-
are there processes in place that allow employees to report something that they consider to be untoward?
-
is the culture one that encourages openness?
-
does management make efforts to find out what employees think and feel about the organisation?

We are not complacent and know we always have further work to do but, nevertheless, we are pleased with what has been achieved to date.
How does the Board make sure that it is aware of its shareholders’ views?
Ayman Asfari, Keith Roberts and Jonathan Low, our Head of Investor Relations, provide a presentation to research analysts, including a question and answer session, following the announcement of our full year and half year results. This is broadcast live on our website and may therefore be followed by all shareholders. Ayman, Keith and Jonathan also conduct a series of individual meetings with existing and potential shareholders in the week following our full year and half year results.
We have also established an annual practice of offering analysts and some institutional shareholders the opportunity to visit at least one of our operations. In October 2010, we took a group of analysts and investors to Syria where they visited two E&C projects, the Ebla and Jihar gas plants, and the National Training Centre in Homs.
We write to our major shareholders annually offering them the opportunity to meet me or the Senior Independent Director. This year both Thomas Thune Andersen, in his capacity as chairman of the Remuneration Committee, and I met some of our major shareholders.
All shareholders receive hard copies of our Annual Report and Accounts and half year reviews: these, and all announcements we make to the market, may also be downloaded from our website.
Who are our major shareholders?
Those shareholders with holdings of 3% or more as at 25 February 2011 are as follows:
| Number of | Percentage of issued |
|
|---|---|---|
| ordinary shares Ayman Asfari and family 62,782,114 Maroun Semaan and family 28,082,676 Legal & General GroupPlc 12,605,890 |
share capital 18.16% 8.12% 3.64% |
Our Articles of Association have been drafted so that any shareholder with 3% or more of our voting rights must disclose its holding. This brings us in line with UK incorporated companies. Ordinarily shareholders of Jersey incorporated companies with a UK listing need only disclose their holdings if they hold voting rights of 5% or more in a company.
Additional information for shareholders
The Company’s constitution by which the Company is governed is called the Company’s Articles of Association. These can only be changed by shareholders in general meeting by way of special resolution. This year we are proposing some minor changes to our Articles and you can see further details outlined in our Notice of AGM.
Our AGM
We hold our AGM in London as we believe that this is the best location for the majority of our shareholders. We spend time and effort to try to ensure that shareholders find the event worthwhile.
Details of this year’s AGM are set out in the Notice of AGM which accompanies the Annual Report and Accounts. As a matter of good practice, we will conduct all resolutions on a poll and announce the results to the market as soon as possible after the meeting.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible this year when my colleagues and I will be available to answer your questions.

This year proved to be a particularly busy one for the Nominations Committee. At the start of 2010 the Committee agreed that it would initiate a search for a new Chairman, as I have now served for six years. Our Senior Independent Director led the process and having agreed a job and person specification, appointed search consultants Egon Zehnder International to assist. I am delighted that this resulted in Norman Murray joining our Board at the start of March with a view to him taking on the role of Chairman when I step down at the conclusion of our AGM.
Kjell Almskog, our Senior Independent Director, is also stepping down from the Board at the same time. We therefore appointed Egon Zehnder International to conduct a second search for a non-executive director. Roxanne Decyk consequently joined our Board at the same time as Norman. I am confident that Norman will lead the Board well and that he and Roxanne will make strong individual contributions. They both have oil & gas experience but have also spent time in other industries, which will enrich the Board’s debate. I have greatly enjoyed serving on this Board and I am sure that they will too.
Ayman Asfari led Energy Developments and Production Solutions on an interim basis throughout 2010. We were delighted when an extensive search resulted in Andy Inglis being appointed Chief Executive of Energy Developments and Production Solutions at the start of this year. The Committee recommended that Andy be appointed a director to the Board and he joined the Board in early March. He not only leads a substantial part of our group but has extensive boardroom experience.
In view of the changes to the Board, the Committee considered the membership of the Board’s committees after the AGM and who should assume the role of Senior Independent Director after Kjell’s retirement. The Board agreed the Committee’s recommendations on the composition of the various committees and on Rijnhard van Tets being appointed Senior Independent Director. Rijnhard will be our longest serving non-executive director in May and will, I am sure, fulfil the role of Senior Independent Director admirably.
In making these changes, the Committee had due regard to the Board’s overall size and composition.
We also considered succession planning more widely and will look at this aspect of our responsibilities in greater detail going forward since it is such an important element of ensuring that our business is sustainable.
On more prosaic matters, we reviewed and revised our terms of reference so that they continue to conform with best practice.
In summary, I believe that your Board has the right people to lead the Company in 2011 and beyond.

Dear shareholder
It was very much business as usual for the Audit Committee in 2010. Our calendar of meetings is now well established and is largely driven by our programme of communications to the market. A more detailed description of the Committee’s activities is provided later but in summary the Committee considered the group’s full and half year results and formally reviewed the effectiveness of Petrofac’s internal control and risk management systems. I wish to thank my colleague Kjell Almskog who is stepping down from the Board shortly. He has provided invaluable support to the Committee over the last few years. Roxanne Decyk will join the Audit Committee in May and I look forward to working with her.
The events of 2008 and thereafter have resulted in a great deal of debate about risk management and sound internal controls. Investors increasingly want to know whether or not a board has a real grasp of the risks facing the enterprise and if there are effective safeguards in place to mitigate them. The Audit Committee has always worked closely with the Risk Committee in order to provide appropriate assurance to our Board and, in line with best practice, I also serve on the Risk Committee. To date the Audit Committee has concentrated on financial internal controls and the Risk Committee on operational risks. While this approach has served us well, the Board agreed at the end of 2010 that the group’s increasing size and complexity meant that we should revisit the committees’ interface to ensure we have the best possible framework for understanding and managing our risks be they financial, operational or compliance related. The Company has now appointed a Group Head of Compliance and his appointment will doubtless influence our deliberations as we develop our future approach to assurance on all our internal controls.
The UK Code emphasises the need for directors to keep on top of technical developments, which is particularly pertinent for the Audit Committee. We intend to hold a series of dedicated seminars before our meetings in 2011, focusing on changes to accounting standards that will specifically affect Petrofac. I have recent and relevant financial experience of course, but it is important to keep that experience up to date.
Rijnhard van Tets Chairman of the Audit Committee 4 March 2011
Audit Committee report
81 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
Financial reporting
As set out in our Directors’ Statements on page 96 directors are responsible for preparing group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The group has an internal control and risk management framework in place which permits the Company to prepare consolidated accounts and this includes policies and procedures to ensure that adequate accounting records are maintained and transactions accurately recorded.
In 2010, the Committee reviewed the 2009 Report and Accounts and 2010 half year results. Furthermore, in March 2011 we of course reviewed the 2010 Report and Accounts and you are reading these now. As part of these reviews, we discussed with Keith Roberts and the external auditors the significant accounting policies, estimates and judgements that had been adopted.
Internal controls and risk management systems
The Committee reviewed the group’s internal controls primarily through its engagement with our internal audit function and the Risk Committee. Our Group Head of Internal Audit, Ajit Nair, attends each committee meeting. At the start of the year the Committee agrees the annual internal audit plan, which is drawn up on a risk-based approach. Any significant findings from internal control audits undertaken have been appropriately followed up and the necessary actions taken to address any weaknesses found. Ajit provides a progress report part way through the year, as a consequence of which his plan may be revised, and a final report at the end of the year.
In 2010, the internal audit department completed 85 assignments across a broad cross-section of the group’s activities. Rijnhard van Tets and Kjell Almskog served on both the Audit and Risk Committees during the year and therefore had oversight of the Risk Committee’s work in relation to operational controls. In addition, the Committee receives regular reports detailing matters reported by employees under our ‘Speaking Up’ or whistle-blowing process.
Effectiveness of group internal audit and external auditors
The Committee formally assessed the performance of our internal auditors and the external auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, and judged that both were effective. In making its assessment of the external auditors, the Committee had due regard to their expertise, resourcing and independence.
Non-audit services policy
We have a non-audit services policy that sets out under what circumstances we may appoint our external auditors to undertake additional non-audit work. This is reviewed by the Committee each year. Our policy, which remained unchanged from last year, is summarised below:
-
the external auditors are automatically prohibited from carrying out work which might impair their objectivity
-
Keith Roberts, as Chief Financial Officer, will seek approval from the Committee before appointing the external auditors to carry out a piece of non-audit work:
-
if the fee is above US$200,000
-
if total non-audit fees for the year are approaching 50% of the annual audit fee
-
if the external auditors would ordinarily be prohibited from carrying out the work, but the Chief Financial Officer wants to appoint them due to exceptional circumstances
-
the Chief Financial Officer may appoint the external auditors to do all types of other work
Details of non-audit work carried out by Ernst & Young LLP during 2010 are provided in note 4e to the financial statements.

I took over the role of chairman of the Risk Committee in May. I would like to thank my predecessor Kjell Almskog for his efforts: he has left me with a solid foundation on which to build.
The Walker Report emphasised the importance of a risk committee and, while the report’s focus was directed at banks and financial institutions, it has influenced the wider corporate community. In this day and age it is unrealistic to think that the Audit Committee of a company the size of Petrofac can take sole responsibility for oversight of financial, operational and compliance internal controls. The workload would be excessive. Both committees will work independently but in a complementary way.
Having had more than 30 years’ experience in the oil & gas industry, both within E&P and lump-sum contracting, I believe that I can add real value to the Risk Committee’s work in relation to oversight of operational controls.
I am very fortunate to be joined on the Committee by Rijnhard van Tets and Roxanne Decyk. Rijnhard brings extensive banking experience, which is particularly useful when considering sovereign and financial market risks. Roxanne has enjoyed a varied executive career that culminated in over ten years at Shell, where she was most recently head of government affairs. I am sure that this experience will help her provide useful insights and advice on ethical and regulatory matters. In short, I believe that our committee is well placed to help the group continue to deepen its non-financial internal control processes.
The Committee is supported by the Head of Enterprise Risk Management and Maroun Semaan, Keith Roberts and Richard Milne attend meetings as a matter of course. In addition the Group Treasurer and the Head of Insurance and the Group Head of Security have also made presentations to the Committee. In this way, we ensure that our discussions are as worthwhile as possible.
This year, as well as reviewing the three Petrofac policies that cover non-financial controls, we also devoted one meeting to considering the implications of the UK Bribery Act. Other areas of emphasis were the group’s insurance cover, business continuity planning, and security, particularly in relation to new country entry.
Stefano Cao Chairman of the Risk Committee 4 March 2011
Risk Committee report
83 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
The group’s overall risk management framework including details of the key risks facing the business is described on pages 32 to 35.
Review of policies
During the year the Committee reviewed the following policies:
-
Sovereign and Financial Market Risk Policy
-
Ethical, Social and Regulatory Risk Policy
-
Operational and Contractual Risk Policy
Further detail about the areas covered by each of the policies is set out in a table on page 77. Our reviews consider whether policies require amending and assurance that they are being adhered to across the group.
UK Bribery Act
The UK passed a Bribery Act in 2010 that is scheduled to come into force in 2011 although later than originally planned. The Act modernises and consolidates existing UK law on bribery and corruption. In particular, the Act creates a new corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery. Our Code of Business Conduct is clear; Petrofac does not permit the giving or receiving of bribes. Nevertheless, we have to ensure that we have adequate procedures in place which are designed to prevent bribery. We have therefore spent considerable effort reviewing and amending our processes. We will be supporting the roll out of our new processes with an extensive education programme across the group.
New country entry procedures
The risks associated with doing business in a new country are greater than those associated with a country which we know well. We have therefore spent time reviewing our processes and intend to continue to refine them during 2011.
Security
Security comes under the remit of our HSSEIA department. In 2010, our Group Head of Security gave a presentation to the Committee on group security processes. He covered both our approach to security in geographies where we are already established and also how we seek to ensure the security of our people when we are entering a new country. He focused on Iraq and Turkmenistan as these are countries where we will be working in 2011 and beyond.
Business continuity
We have now largely completed our business continuity planning for the group. We are pleased that in 2010 the Aberdeen office was awarded BS 25999 accreditation. Our Woking office has held this accreditation since 2009.
Insurance
Insurance will always be an essential part of risk transference for any organisation and we provide regular updates to the Committee.

Thomas Thune Andersen (Chairman) Stefano Cao Roxanne Decyk
After the 2011 AGM
I am delighted to have become chairman of Petrofac’s Remuneration Committee during another year of exceptional performance, with strong growth across all our KPIs including revenue, earnings and backlog, as well as the successful demerger of the UK Continental Shelf assets from our Energy Developments business in April 2010.
Our remuneration policy is geared towards having a significant proportion of reward linked to the continued success of the business. As such, our policy is for basic salaries to be at median or below, with variable pay structured to allow executive directors to achieve upper quartile total remuneration if outstanding performance is achieved.
We believe this approach will allow Petrofac to attract, retain and motivate high calibre individuals with the skills and capabilities to match our ambitions for continued growth and sustained success.
Accordingly, as previously advised, the Committee reviewed executive remuneration during the year in the context of Petrofac’s exceptional performance to date. Our review showed that basic salary levels continued to be appreciably below industry benchmarks and below lower quartile compared to UK companies of similar size. Total remuneration levels remained below market even after last year’s changes to performance related pay. This gap continued to widen due to Petrofac’s sustained strong growth.
Therefore, after careful consideration and consultation with major shareholders, the Committee has made an exceptional adjustment to executive director basic salaries for 2011. In line with our remuneration policy, basic salaries are still positioned at or below median.
In addition, we have made a relatively modest increase to the cash allowances for UK-based directors (which are paid in lieu of pension and company car provision).
These changes will assist us in securing the key talent that is critical to the continuing success of the business. Indeed, in January 2011, we were able to announce the appointment of Andy Inglis as Chief Executive, Energy Developments and Production Solutions, whose remuneration package is given on page 92.
The Committee is also proposing to make a minor administrative amendment to the Deferred Bonus Share Plan to extend participation to employees in certain Petrofac joint venture organisations, where appropriate. Further details are outlined on page 90. Shareholder approval for this amendment will be sought at the forthcoming AGM.
The Committee believes that these changes are in the best interests of shareholders.

Remuneration policy – executive directors
The Committee aims to establish a level of remuneration which:
-
is sufficient to attract, retain and motivate executive directors and key executives of the calibre required to achieve the group’s objectives
-
reflects the size and complexity of the group’s business together with an executive’s individual contribution and geographical location
In 2007, the Committee agreed that its remuneration policy for executive directors and certain senior managers would be as follows:
-
basic salaries would be median or below, against a relevant benchmarking group (see below)
-
the variable elements of remuneration would be structured so that individuals could achieve upper quartile total remuneration, subject to achievement of challenging performance standards
The Committee believes that this policy will ensure that executive directors and senior managers are incentivised to deliver the group’s strategic goals and long-term shareholder value.
Annual bonus targets relate to the delivery of short-term targets that the Committee considers are critical drivers of business growth and delivery of performance. In contrast, the PSP objectives reward long-term shareholder value creation and strong bottom-line performance.
The Committee believes that the most appropriate pay comparators are:
-
for the Group Chief Executive and certain operational executives, a select group of international and UK oil & gas services companies (to the extent that data in relation to such companies is publicly available)
-
for certain functional executives, FTSE companies of a similar size and complexity
The Committee also uses remuneration in UK companies of a similar size and complexity as a reference point when considering the remuneration of operational executive directors and senior managers.

Directors’ remuneration report
87 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
2011 changes to executive director remuneration
Petrofac has been one of the most successful public companies of recent times. Since IPO, it has created exceptional shareholder value, and as a result it is now an established member of the FTSE 100. Earnings growth during the period has been in excess of 550%.
In last year’s remuneration report, the Committee signalled its intention to review basic salaries during 2010, and in particular their impact on total compensation levels, in the context of Petrofac’s exceptional performance.
The 2010 benchmarking review showed that basic salary levels remained below industry benchmarks and also below lower quartile compared to UK companies of similar size and complexity. This had a significant impact on total remuneration, which generally remained well below market competitive levels, even after the changes to performance related pay last year. This gap continued to widen given the outstanding performance and sustained growth of the business during 2010.
There is upward pressure on remuneration levels within the oil & gas services industry, both in the general workforce and at more senior levels. It is a highly competitive industry, in which securing increasingly sought after talent is critical to continuing success.
The Committee remains committed to the policy of modest basic salaries and having a significant proportion of pay linked to the continued success of the business. However, total compensation was uncompetitive to the extent that it was inhibiting Petrofac’s ability to attract talent which is consistent with Petrofac’s growth ambitions and succession planning strategy.
Taking the above factors into account, the Committee believed that it was a priority to deal with this issue. Following consultation with key shareholders, from 1 January 2011, it decided to:
-
increase executive director basic salaries by 20%
-
make a relatively modest increase to the cash allowance paid to UK executive directors in lieu of pension and company car provision, as existing levels were significantly below the market. The cash allowance was thus increased from £50,000 to £65,000
Following the increases, basic salaries remain at median or below compared to the select oil & gas services comparator group, and around lower quartile compared to the UK market. Cash allowances for UK-based directors continue to be modest.
The Committee, and the entire Board, believe that these changes are in shareholders’ best interests and are wholly in line with our stated remuneration policy.
Composition of total remuneration at target and maximum performance

----- Start of picture text -----
Target performance Maximum performance
38% Salary 20% Salary
39% Annual bonus 40% Annual bonus

----- End of picture text -----
If an executive director receives a maximum cash bonus and maximum PSP award equal to 200% of basic salary, his fixed remuneration (excluding cash allowances/benefits) would be one fifth of his overall remuneration, with variable remuneration making up the balance. At target performance, his fixed remuneration would be broadly two-fifths of his overall remuneration.
Individual elements of remuneration
Fixed pay
■ basic salary
■ cash allowances

Basic salary
Ordinarily, the Committee determines an executive director’s basic salary at the beginning of each year and any change is applied with effect from 1 January. Basic salaries are set at median or below against the relevant benchmarking group, and depend upon the individual’s role and contribution.
As outlined on page 84, in light of Petrofac’s exceptional growth, and as remuneration levels had fallen further behind the market, the Committee determined that executive director basic salaries should be increased by 20%, from 1 January 2011. Following the increases, basic salaries remain at around lower quartile compared to the UK market and at median or below compared to the oil & gas services comparator group. The revised basic salaries are therefore wholly in line with Petrofac’s remuneration policy.

A significant proportion of Petrofac’s total remuneration package is variable. There is a particular emphasis on long-term share-based incentives, to align closely directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests.
The balance between the fixed (basic salary) and variable (annual bonus and long-term incentive) elements of remuneration varies depending on performance. The charts below show the mix between fixed and variable pay, excluding cash allowances/benefits. The actual mix may be higher or lower, depending on the performance of Petrofac and the individual.

Changes to basic salaries are as follows, with effect from 1 January 2011:
| 2011 | 2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| basic salary | basic salary | |
| Ayman Asfari Maroun Semaan Keith Roberts |
£582,000 US$567,000 £350,000 |
£485,000 US$472,500 £292,000 |
Cash allowances
In addition to basic salary and non-cash benefits, UK resident executive directors receive a cash allowance in place of benefits including, but not limited to, car allowances and pension contributions. Directors do not receive pension contributions from the Company.
In 2010, all UK-based executive directors received a cash allowance of £50,000. As previously mentioned, the Committee made relatively modest adjustments to cash allowances to UK-based directors to £65,000, with effect from 1 January 2011.
The Company pays a cash allowance in respect of housing and transport to Maroun Semaan, in line with local market practice. In 2010, Maroun Semaan received a cash allowance of US$220,000 for the year: no increase is proposed from 1 January 2011.
The table below sets out cash allowances for executive directors, from 1 January 2011.
| 2011 cash allowance |
2010 cash allowance |
|
|---|---|---|
| Ayman Asfari | £65,000 | £50,000 |
| Maroun Semaan | US$220,000 | US$220,000 |
| Keith Roberts | £65,000 | £50,000 |
In addition, Maroun Semaan, as a UAE resident executive director, is required by local statute to receive a cash sum (called an end of service indemnity) from his employer on the termination of his employment within the UAE. Accordingly, the Company accrues an amount each year.
Non-cash benefits
Executive directors receive certain benefits-in-kind. UK-resident executive directors currently receive private health insurance, life assurance and long-term disability insurance. Maroun Semaan who, as mentioned above, is resident in the UAE receives similar benefits, as well as other typical expatriate senior executive benefits, such as education and return flights to his permanent home.
Variable pay
■ annual cash bonus payments
■ Performance Share Plan
Annual cash bonus payments
Each January, the Committee decides whether to award each executive director a cash bonus for the previous year. In doing so, the Committee considers two principal elements:
- the extent to which the group’s financial performance, and, as appropriate, the business division for which the individual director is primarily responsible, have achieved annually established budgets and targets
the extent to which the individual has met personal objectives, which are agreed at the start of each year with the aim of achieving the group’s business strategy. Each executive director’s personal objectives include health and safety targets. In addition, some executive directors have targets in relation to succession planning, risk management and the development and implementation of the group’s CSR programme. In this way, the Committee considers that it has an incentive structure for senior managers that promotes responsible behaviour
■
For 2010, in line with the stated policy, the Committee set the maximum bonus potential at 200% of basic annual salary for achievement of corporate and personal targets.
The Committee awarded cash bonus awards of between 154% and 200% of salary to Ayman Asfari, Keith Roberts and Maroun Semaan, in recognition of both the group’s outstanding financial results for 2010 and their personal performances. As shown on pages 28 and 29, Petrofac has displayed strong growth across its KPIs, including revenue, earnings and backlog, as well as the successful demerger of the UK Continental Shelf assets from our Energy Developments business in April 2010.
The following table sets out the 2010 annual bonus awards made to executive directors.
| Annual | ||

| Keith Roberts £450,000 |
154% |
Performance Share Plan (PSP)
Executive directors and certain senior managers may receive performance-related share awards on an annual basis. Participants are granted contingent awards to receive ordinary shares in the Company, which will in normal circumstances vest after three years, subject to their continued employment and to the extent performance conditions are met.
Under the existing PSP, the maximum award level in any financial year is 200% of basic annual salary, although an award of up to 300% may be made under exceptional circumstances. Award levels are determined based on a participant’s individual contribution to the business.
It is proposed that Maroun Semaan will receive a 2011 PSP award of 194% of salary and Keith Roberts will receive a 2011 PSP award of 143% of salary.
The Committee considers that Ayman Asfari’s performance during 2010 has been exceptional, taking into account his strong leadership, the sustained growth in revenue, profit and backlog and his continued focus on substantial shareholder value creation, including the successful completion of the demerger of the UK Continental Shelf oil & gas assets in April 2010. Additionally, following the demerger he acted as interim Chief Executive of Energy Developments and Production Solutions for the remainder of 2010. Therefore, the Committee is proposing to make a PSP award of 250% of salary to Ayman in March 2011.

The Committee believes that PSP performance conditions should balance
alignment with shareholder returns and reward for delivery of strong
underlying financial performance.
TSR remains the best measure of the Company’s ultimate delivery of
shareholder returns and EPS is the internal financial measure most closely
linked to value creation in an oil & gas services business.
The performance period is three years, as this is considered to be an
appropriate long-term time horizon for both performance measurement
and retention.
----- End of picture text -----
TSR element (50% of award)
For the 2011 PSP grant, the TSR performance measure and accompanying vesting schedule will remain the same as previous grants.
TSR is the percentage return to a purchaser of an ordinary share in the Company arising from share price appreciation and reinvestment of dividends over a given period. The TSR of the Company is measured and then compared against the median TSR of an index of a number of international peer companies, as detailed in the following table.

Vesting is determined in line with the following:
| TSR relative to an un-weighted comparator group index |
Percentage of TSR element of award vesting1,2 |
|---|---|
| Less than index | 0% |
| Equal to index More than index by up to 25% More than index by25% or more |
30% Straight line vesting between 30% and 100% 100% |
-
1 The Committee is authorised under the rules of the PSP to make retrospective adjustment(s) to the comparator index for any year of award if one or more of the constituent companies are subject to de-listing, merger, acquisition or other such event.
-
2 It is assumed that a notional £100 is invested equally among all the companies making up the TSR index at the start of the performance period. At the end of the vesting period, the index will represent the value of what the initial notional investment of £100 would have returned over the period. This will be representative of the average return made by the Company’s competitors. This is then compared to the return by an equivalent notional investment of £100 in Petrofac over the same period.
From 2010, vesting of the TSR element is subject to the achievement of strong underlying financial performance of Petrofac. For awards granted before then, it was also necessary to achieve EPS growth over the period of at least RPI plus 3% over the three-year vesting period.
EPS element (50% of award)
Earnings per share represent the earnings (excluding dividends), in pence, attributable to one ordinary share. The Company’s EPS performance over a three-year period is calculated and vesting is in line with the vesting schedule attached to a particular award, as shown in the table below.
| Awards made in | Awards made prior | |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 onwards | to 2010 | |
| EPS compound | EPS compound | Percentage of |
| annual growth over | annual growth over |
EPS element of |
| three-year period | three-year period | award vesting |
| 10% or less | 15% or less | 0% |
| More than 10% but less than 15% |
More than 15% but less than 20% |
Straight line vesting between 0% and 30% |
| 15% More than 15% but less than 20% |
20% More than 20% but less than 25% |
30% Straight line vesting between 30% and 100% |
| 20% or more | 25% or more | 100% |
The Committee determines the EPS targets immediately before the grant of each award. It considers internal growth projections, market consensus figures and general external conditions. The Committee believes the targets attached to existing PSP awards are extremely stretching.
Other discretionary share plans
As part of its oversight role, the Committee considers the following discretionary share plans:
Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP)
Under the DBSP, selected employees are required, or in some cases invited, to defer a proportion of their annual cash bonus into Company shares (‘invested shares’). The Company will generally grant the participant an additional award over a number of shares, being a specified ratio to the number of his or her invested shares (‘matching shares’), typically using a 1:1 ratio.
Subject to a participant’s continued employment, invested and matching share awards may either vest 100% on the third anniversary of grant; or alternatively, vest one third on the first anniversary of the grant, one third on the second anniversary and the final proportion on the third anniversary.
The Committee uses its discretion to determine whether a participant should be subject to either three-year cliff or annual vesting (or a mixture). In doing so, it takes management recommendations into consideration.
In 2007, the Committee decided that neither executive directors nor the most senior members of management should participate in the scheme as there are no performance conditions attached to matching awards. If such individuals are considered for DBSP participation in future years, the Company undertakes not to make matching awards, unless they are subject to suitably stretching performance conditions and a deferral period of at least three years.
Proposed changes
The Committee is seeking shareholder approval to make minor administrative changes to the DBSP at the forthcoming AGM, as set out below:
-
the Committee wishes to extend eligibility to participate in the DBSP to certain Petrofac joint ventures (JVs), where it considers it appropriate
-
currently, individuals are only eligible to participate in the DBSP if Petrofac holds a majority shareholding in their employing entity. The Committee wishes to have the flexibility to extend participation, where it deems appropriate, to employees of JVs where Petrofac has a shareholding of at least 25%
-
the Committee believes that extending participation levels in the DBSP, where appropriate, will align the interests of key individuals in the Company’s JV entities with those of Petrofac shareholders
Further details of the proposed resolution are included in the Notice of AGM.
Restricted Share Plan (RSP)
Under the RSP, selected employees are made grants of shares on an ad hoc basis throughout the year. Executive directors are not eligible to participate in the scheme.
The scheme is used primarily, but not exclusively, to make awards to individuals who join the group part way through the year, having left accrued benefits with a previous employer. The Committee periodically monitors the level of awards.
Wider workforce remuneration
When determining remuneration arrangements for executive directors, the Committee takes into consideration the pay and conditions of employees throughout the group. There is upward pressure on remuneration levels within our highly competitive sector. The Committee is aware that securing increasingly sought-after key talent is critical to the continued success of Petrofac.
On an all-employee basis, the Company offers participation in an approved Share Incentive Plan (SIP), which the Committee considers as part of its oversight role.
Under the SIP, all UK employees, including UK-resident directors, may invest up to £1,500 per tax year of gross salary (or, if less, 10% of salary) to purchase ordinary shares. There is no holding period for these shares.
Directors’ remuneration report
91 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
General share plan information Dividends and voting rights
Participants in the PSP, DBSP and RSP have no dividend or voting rights in respect of their respective awards until their awards vest. However, when the Company pays a dividend, the shares under award will be increased by the number of shares that could have been acquired with the amount of dividend received, had the participant been the owner of the award shares. The vesting of the additional shares will be subject to the same performance conditions as the original award shares.
Participants in the SIP receive dividends in respect of their shares, in common with any other shareholder.
Effect of the demerger on subsisting awards
Unlike shareholders, participants in the PSP, DBSP and RSP were not entitled to receive EnQuest PLC shares upon the successful completion of the demerger of Petrofac’s UK Continental Shelf oil & gas assets in April 2010. The Committee therefore agreed to make appropriate adjustments to subsisting awards, to put participants in a similar economic position as shareholders, applying an adjustment factor of 1.08 to subsisting awards.
The Committee also approved appropriate adjustments to TSR and EPS performance conditions for subsisting awards, to ensure that measurement is undertaken on a consistent basis.
Funding policy
In 2007, the Board approved a funding policy in relation to the Company’s employee benefit trust, which holds shares to be used to satisfy awards under the Company’s DBSP, PSP and RSP.
The Company reviews its contingent obligations under the above listed share incentive schemes on a quarterly basis to ensure that the employee benefit trust should purchase under a loan arrangement with the group and hold shares, sufficient to cover between 80% to 100% of its maximum liability, at any time under the three schemes.
Performance graph
As mentioned, the Company’s total shareholder return is defined as our share price growth plus any dividends used to acquire further shares in Petrofac. For shareholders’ information, the Company’s TSR performance since 1 January 2006 is shown below compared with the performance of the FTSE 100 Index.
The Committee believes the FTSE 100 Index is the most appropriate index given the Company’s current positioning within it.

Executive directors’ service contracts
Executive directors have 12-month rolling service contracts with the Company and are contractually restricted to a termination payment equal to 12 months’ salary and benefits. None of the executive directors are subject to a contractual retirement date. Further details are shown below.
Other matters
The Committee is delighted to report that at the ifsProShare Awards in December 2010, Petrofac received a commendation in the category of ‘Best Employee Share Plan outcome following a Corporate Transaction’.
This award recognises Petrofac’s detailed consideration of the impact of the demerger of its UK Continental Shelf oil & gas assets to EnQuest PLC in April 2010 on subsisting awards under the Company’s share incentive plans.

1 Amjad Bseisu stood down from the Board on 6 April 2010.
Amjad Bseisu
On the successful demerger of the UK Continental Shelf oil & gas assets to EnQuest PLC on 6 April 2010, Amjad Bseisu stepped down from the Board with immediate effect and by mutual agreement to assume the role of Chief Executive of EnQuest PLC. As a result, no compensation was payable to him.
The Committee decided that his subsisting share awards should be scaled back proportionally to reflect the proportion of the relevant vesting period that had elapsed at 6 April 2010. These awards will be released on the original vesting dates, to the extent that the original performance conditions attached to each award are met.

Appointment of Andy Inglis
In January 2011, Andy Inglis joined Petrofac as Chief Executive, Energy Developments and Production Solutions. He was appointed to the Board on 1 March 2011.
The Committee considered Andy Inglis’ remuneration package in the light of his calibre and experience and the fact that he would be joining the Board shortly after his appointment.
For the most part, Andy Inglis has a standard remuneration package on a similar basis to those of other current Petrofac executive directors. His fixed remuneration will consist of basic salary (£500,000) and a payment in lieu of pension contribution and company car allowance (£65,000), in common with other UK-based executive directors.
Andy Inglis will be eligible to participate in the annual bonus and Performance Share Plan on the same basis as other executive directors.
To attract such a proven business leader with a strong technical background, the Committee agreed the following one-off arrangements:
-
for 2011 only, an enhanced PSP award of 300% of salary, subject to the same performance conditions as other executive directors. This replaces any normal 2011 award
-
a one-off retention share award with a value of £1 million which will vest in equal annual tranches over three years in order to compensate him for foregone remuneration opportunities
-
a one-off payment of £450,000 to assist with his relocation to the UK to perform his duties
Non-executive directors – remuneration policy and practice The Board reviews and sets the fees of independent non-executive directors annually, supported by independent professional advice.
When deciding an appropriate fee level for each independent non-executive director, the Board takes into account the level of fees generally paid to non-executive directors serving on boards of similarly-sized, UK-listed companies and the responsibility and time commitment required of the role.
Non-executive directors do not have service contracts and are not entitled to compensation on leaving the Board. However, if the Chairman or a non-executive director is requested to resign, they are entitled to prior notice or fees in lieu of three months’ notice.

Fees for non-executive directors are as shown in the table below. The Board reviewed these fees in early 2011, and has made changes with effect from 1 January 2011 to position the fees close to mid-market taking account of the extensive time and travel demands of these roles.

- 1 There is no current intention to pay an additional fee payable for the role of Senior Independent Director once Kjell Almskog steps down from the Board on 13 May 2011.
The remuneration of the Chairman of the Board is set by the Remuneration Committee. The fee level for Rodney Chase, who will be stepping down from the Board after the 2011 AGM, is £120,000 per year with effect from 21 June 2010 (previously £100,000).
Norman Murray and Roxanne Decyk were appointed non-executive directors on 1 March 2011. Subject to shareholder approval, Norman Murray will assume the role of Chairman at the conclusion of the AGM. From 13 May 2011, his annual fee as Chairman will be £230,000.
The Board as a whole is responsible for deciding non-executive directors’ fees unless such fees exceed £500,000 per annum in aggregate, in which case shareholder approval in a general meeting would be sought. A resolution is proposed at the 2011 AGM to amend the Articles of Association in order to increase the maximum nonexecutive director fees payable to £1 million per annum. This increase is necessary to allow Petrofac sufficient headroom to discharge its obligations without further shareholder approval.

1 The award levels given are the maximum number that can vest subject to the performance conditions attached to awards. The performance conditions are explained in detail on pages 88 to 90.
-
2 Dividends awarded on the shares granted under the PSP are reinvested to buy further shares.
-
3 Following the completion of the demerger of Petrofac’s UK Continental Shelf oil & gas assets to EnQuest PLC in April 2010, the Company applied an adjustment factor of 1.08 (8%) to unvested share awards held under the Petrofac Performance Share Plan (‘PSP’) to compensate awardholders for not being entitled to EnQuest PLC shares at the time of the demerger.
-
4 The performance conditions for the April 2007 PSP award were satisfied and the award vested in full during the year. Shares awarded on 19 March 2008 have satisfied their performance conditions in full and will vest 100% on 19 March 2011. Based on a share price of 1378 pence, which is the share price at 25 February 2011 being the latest practicable date prior to the adoption of this report by the Remuneration Committee, the values of the awards delivered to current executive directors would be as follows: Ayman Asfari: £1,582,550; Keith Roberts: £703,331; and Maroun Semaan: £726,371.
-
5 Shares awarded on 19 March 2009 and 14 May 2010 are not due to vest until 19 March 2012 and 19 March 2013, respectively. It is too early, in the Committee’s opinion, to provide shareholders with a meaningful assessment to the extent that these shares will vest, if at all.
-
6 Maroun Semaan received an exceptional PSP award of 225% of salary in 2010 due to his outstanding contribution to the group’s extremely strong performance in 2009. 7 Amjad Bseisu stepped down from the Board on 6 April 2010. His share awards have been scaled back proportionally to reflect the proportion of the relevant vesting period that had elapsed as at 6 April 2010. These awards will be released on the original vesting dates, as outlined in the table above.

Directors’ statements
Directors’ responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The directors have chosen to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The directors are also responsible for the preparation of the directors’ remuneration report, which they have chosen to prepare, being under no obligation to do so under Jersey law. The directors are also responsible for the preparation of the corporate governance report under the Listing Rules.
Jersey Company law (the ‘Law’) requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period in accordance with any generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company at the period end and the profit or loss of the Company for the period then ended. In preparing these financial statements, the directors should:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
specify which generally accepted accounting principles have been adopted in their preparation
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and as such as to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements prepared by the Company comply with the Law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Company has considerable financial resources together with long-term contracts with a number of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas and industries. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Responsibility statement under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules
Each of the directors listed on pages 68 and 69 confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
-
the financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole
-
the operating and financial review includes a fair view of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face
By order of the Board
Keith Roberts Chief Financial Officer 4 March 2011
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in Jersey governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Directors’ approach
The Board’s objective is to present a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company’s position and prospects, particularly in the annual report, half year report (formerly the interim report) and other published documents and reports to regulators. The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist with this obligation.
Going concern
The Company’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the business review on pages 16 to 54. The financial position of the Company, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the financial review on pages 52 to 54. In addition, note 33 to the financial statements include the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk.
Independent Auditors’ report to the members of Petrofac Limited
97 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
Independent Auditors’ report to the members of Petrofac Limited
We have audited the group financial statements of Petrofac Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (together ‘the group’) for the year ended 31 December 2010 which comprise the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated cash flow statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 35. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable Jersey law and International Financial Reporting Standards.
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Article 113A of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and our engagement letter dated 15 February 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor
As explained more fully in the statement of directors’ responsibilities set out on page 96, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the group financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the group financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.
In addition the Company has also instructed us to:
-
review the statement of directors’ responsibilities in relation to going concern as set out on page 96, which for a premium listed UK incorporated company is specified for review by the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority
-
report as to whether the information given in the corporate governance report with respect to internal control and risk management systems in relation to financial reporting processes and about share capital structures is consistent with the financial statements
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the group financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s affairs as at 31 December 2010 and of its profit for the year then ended
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991
Opinion on other matter
In our opinion, the information given in the corporate governance report set out on pages 71 to 78 with respect to internal control and risk management systems in relation to financial reporting processes and about share capital structures is consistent with the financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters:
-
where the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
proper accounting records have not been kept, or proper returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
-
under the Listing Rules we are required to review the part of the corporate governance report relating to the Company’s compliance with the nine provisions of the June 2008 Combined Code specified for our review
-
where the Company instructed us to review the statement of directors’ responsibilities, set out on page 96, in relation to going concern
Other matter
We have reported separately on the parent company financial statements of Petrofac Limited for the year ended 31 December 2010 and on the information in the remuneration report that is described as having been audited.

1 The maintenance and integrity of the Petrofac Limited web site is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2010
1 Corporate information
The consolidated financial statements of Petrofac Limited (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2010 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 4 March 2011.
Petrofac Limited is a limited liability company registered and domiciled in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and is the holding company for the international group of Petrofac subsidiaries (together ‘the group’). The Company’s 31 December 2010 financial statements are shown on pages 146 to 158. The group’s principal activity is the provision of facilities solutions to the oil & gas production and processing industry.
A full listing of all group companies, and joint venture companies, is contained in note 35 to these consolidated financial statements.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets which have been measured at fair value. The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is United States Dollars and all values in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand (US$’000) except where otherwise stated. The directors have re-considered the nature of the contractual commitments to a joint venture on a lump sum construction contract in the Engineering & Construction reporting segment and as a result, the amount of US$9,226,000 shown as part of non-controlling interest in December 2009 in the income statement has been reclassified to Cost of Sales. Similarly US$4,200,000 shown within Other Comprehensive Income has been shown as attributable to Petrofac. US$9,226,000 in the statement of financial position has been reclassified as trade and other payables.
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements of Petrofac Limited and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and applicable requirements of Jersey law.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Petrofac Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of its subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Company and where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the group’s subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the group.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the group. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealised profits, have been eliminated on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries consolidated by the group are disclosed separately from the group’s equity and income statement. Prior to 1 January 2010 losses incurred by the group were attributed to non-controlling interests until the balance is reduced to nil. Any further excess losses were attributed to the parent, unless there was a binding obligation on the part of the non-controlling interest to cover these. Losses prior to 1 January 2010 were not reallocated between non-controlling interests and the parent shareholders.
New standards and interpretations
The group has adopted new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. The principal effects of the adoption of these new and amended standards and interpretations are discussed below:
IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations (Revised)’ the revised standard increases the number of transactions to which it must be applied including business combinations of mutual entities and combinations without consideration. IFRS 3 (revised) introduces significant changes in the accounting for business combinations such as valuation of non-controlling interest, business combination achieved in stages, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of a contingent consideration and the accounting for transaction costs. These changes will have a significant impact on profit or loss reported in the period of an acquisition, the amount of goodwill recognised in a business combination and profit or loss reported in future periods.
IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Amendments)’ the amended standard requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary (without loss of control) is accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners and these transactions will no longer give rise to goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost and any retained interest is remeasured to fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
IFRIC 17 ‘Distributions of Non-cash Assets to owners’ this interpretation provides guidance in respect of accounting for non-cash asset distributions to shareholders. This interpretation is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. See note 11 for distributions in respect of EnQuest demerger.
IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ the amendment clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need not be reported if they are not used as a measure by the chief operating decision maker. As segment assets and liabilities are not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for operational and financial decisions, the group has opted not to disclose segment assets and liabilities in note 3.
IAS 36 ‘Impairment of assets’ the amendment clarifies that operating segments as defined in IFRS 8 prior to aggregation for reporting purposes, are the largest unit for allocating goodwill on acquisitions. The amendment has no impact on the group as goodwill impairment testing is performed on cash generating units before aggregation.
Certain new standards, amendments to and interpretations of existing standards have been issued and are effective for the group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 or later periods which the group has not early adopted. The following are applicable to the group for which the impact on the group’s operating results or financial position will be assessed on adoption of these standards and interpretations:
- i) IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, reflects the first phase of the IASB’s work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets. It specifies that all financial assets should be initially measured at fair value and gives further guidance on the measurement of debt instruments and equity instruments. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, hedge accounting and derecognition. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The management believes that this standard will not have a significant effect on the group’s financial position.

105 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
==> picture [520 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
- ii) IAS 24 ‘Related party disclosures (Revised)’ effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The revision simplifies the identification of related party relationships, particularly in relation to significant influence and joint control. The management believes that this standard will not have a significant effect on the group’s financial position.
Other amendments resulting from improvements to IFRS to the following standards and interpretations did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the group:
IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’
IAS 32 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation – Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment)’
- IFRIC 14 ‘Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment)’
IFRIC 19 ‘Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments’
Significant accounting judgements and estimates
Judgements
In the process of applying the group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
- revenue recognition on fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts: the group recognises revenue on fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, based on surveys of work performed. The group has determined this basis of revenue recognition is the best available measure of progress on such contracts
Estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
-
project cost to complete estimates: at each statement of financial position date the group is required to estimate costs to complete on fixed price contracts. Estimating costs to complete on such contracts requires the group to make estimates of future costs to be incurred, based on work to be performed beyond the statement of financial position date
-
onerous contract provisions: the group provides for future losses on long-term contracts where it is considered probable that the contract costs are likely to exceed revenues in future years. Estimating these future losses involves a number of assumptions about the achievement of contract performance targets and the likely levels of future cost escalation over time
-
impairment of goodwill: the group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of goodwill at 31 December 2010 was US$105,832,000 (2009: US$97,922,000) (note 12)
-
deferred tax assets: the group recognises deferred tax assets on all applicable temporary differences where it is probable that future taxable profits will be available for utilisation. This requires management to make judgements and assumptions regarding the amount of deferred tax that can be recognised based on the magnitude and likelihood of future taxable profits. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets at 31 December 2010 was US$26,301,000 (2009: US$49,726,000)
-
income tax: the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to routine tax audits and also a process whereby tax computations are discussed and agreed with the appropriate authorities. Whilst the ultimate outcome of such tax audits and discussions cannot be determined with certainty, management estimates the level of provisions required for both current and deferred tax on the basis of professional advice and the nature of current discussions with the tax authority concerned
-
recoverable value of intangible oil & gas and other intangible assets: the group determines at each statement of financial position date whether there is any evidence of indicators of impairment in the carrying value of its intangible oil & gas and other intangible assets. Where indicators exist, an impairment test is undertaken which requires management to estimate the recoverable value of its intangible assets for example by reference to quoted market values, similar arm’s length transactions involving these assets or value in use calculations
-
units of production depreciation: estimated proven plus probable reserves are used in determining the depreciation of oil & gas assets such that the depreciation charge is proportional to the depletion of the remaining reserves over their life of production. These calculations require the use of estimates including the amount of economically recoverable reserves and future oil & gas capital expenditure
Interests in joint ventures
The group has a number of contractual arrangements with other parties which represent joint ventures. These take the form of agreements to share control over other entities (‘jointly controlled entities’) and commercial collaborations (‘jointly controlled operations’). The group’s interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by proportionate consolidation, which involves recognising the group’s proportionate share of the joint venture’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses with similar items in the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line basis. Where the group collaborates with other entities in jointly controlled operations, the expenses the group incurs and its share of the revenue earned is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Assets controlled by the group and liabilities incurred by it are recognised in the statement of financial position. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the group’s jointly controlled entities and operations to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the group.
Investment in associates
The group’s investment in associates is accounted for using the equity method where the investment is initially carried at cost and adjusted for post acquisition changes in the group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill on the initial investment forms a part of the carrying amount of the investment and is not individually tested for impairment.
The group recognises its share of the net profits after tax and non-controlling interest of the associates in its consolidated income statement. Share of associate’s changes in equity is also recognised in the group’s consolidated statement of changes in equity. Any unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in associates.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared using the same accounting policies and reporting periods as that of the group.
The carried value of the investment is tested for impairment at each reporting date. Impairment, if any, is determined by the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carried value and is reported within the share of income of an associate in the group’s consolidated income statement.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2010
2 Summary of significant accounting policies continued Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and presentational currency is United States Dollars. In the financial statements of individual subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, transactions in currencies other than a company’s functional currency are recorded at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. At the year end, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the rate of exchange as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the rate of exchange at the date the fair value was determined. All foreign exchange gains and losses are taken to the consolidated income statement with the exception of exchange differences arising on monetary assets and liabilities that form part of the group’s net investment in subsidiaries. These are taken directly to statement of changes in equity until the disposal of the net investment at which time they are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The statement of financial positions of overseas subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are translated into US Dollars using the closing rate method, whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date. The income statements of overseas subsidiaries and joint ventures are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of net assets are taken directly to other reserves within statement of changes in equity.
On the disposal of a foreign entity, accumulated exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement as a component of the gain or loss on disposal.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Cost comprises the purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly attributable to making that asset capable of operating as intended. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis other than on oil & gas assets at the following rates:
| Oil & gas facilities | 10% – 12.5% |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 4% – 33% |
| Buildings and leasehold improvements | 5% – 33% |
| (or lease term if shorter) | |
| Offce furniture and equipment | 25% – 100% |
| Vehicles | 20% – 33% |
Tangible oil & gas assets are depreciated, on a field-by-field basis, using the unit-of-production method based on entitlement to proven and probable reserves, taking account of estimated future development expenditure relating to those reserves.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. Gains are not classified as revenue.
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups are classified as held for sale when it is expected that the carrying amount of an asset will be recovered principally through sale rather than continuing use. Assets are not depreciated when classified as held for sale.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised as interest payable in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying value may be impaired. All transaction costs associated with business combinations post 1 January 2010 are charged to the consolidated income statement in the year of such combination.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or units to which goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with IFRS8 ‘Operating Segments’.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating units and related goodwill, an impairment loss is recognised.
Where goodwill has been allocated to cash-generating units and part of the operation within those units is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating units retained.
Deferred consideration payable on acquisition
Each asset’s estimated useful life, residual value and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end.
No depreciation is charged on land or assets under construction.
When, as part of a business combination, the group defers a proportion of the total purchase consideration payable for an acquisition, the amount provided for is the acquisition date fair value of the consideration. The unwinding of the discount element is recognised as a finance cost in the income statement. For business combinations prior to 1 January 2010, all changes in estimated deferred consideration payable on acquisition is adjusted against the carried goodwill. For business combinations after 1 January 2010,
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
107 Petrofac Annual report and accounts 2010
==> picture [520 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
changes in estimated deferred consideration payable on acquisition are recognised in the consolidated income statement unless they are measurement period adjustments which are as a result of additional information obtained after the acquisition date about the facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date, which are adjusted against carried goodwill.
Intangible assets – non oil & gas assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially measured at cost being their fair values at the date of acquisition and are recognised separately from goodwill where the asset is separable or arises from a contractual or other legal right and its fair value can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with a finite life are amortised over their useful economic life using a straight line method unless a better method reflecting the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed can be determined. The amortisation charge in respect of intangible assets is included in the selling, general and administration expenses line of the consolidated income statement. The expected useful lives of assets are reviewed on an annual basis. Any change in the useful life or pattern of consumption of the intangible asset is treated as a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Oil & gas assets
Capitalised costs
The group’s activities in relation to oil & gas assets are limited to assets in the evaluation, development and production phases.
Oil & gas evaluation and development expenditure is accounted for using the successful efforts method of accounting.
Evaluation expenditures
Expenditure directly associated with evaluation (or appraisal) activities is capitalised as an intangible asset. Such costs include the costs of acquiring an interest, appraisal well drilling costs, payments to contractors and an appropriate share of directly attributable overheads incurred during the evaluation phase. For such appraisal activity, which may require drilling of further wells, costs continue to be carried as an asset whilst related hydrocarbons are considered capable of commercial development. Such costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop, or otherwise extract value. When this is no longer the case, the costs are written-off in the income statement. When such assets are declared part of a commercial development, related costs are transferred to tangible oil & gas assets. All intangible oil & gas assets are assessed for any impairment prior to transfer and any impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Development expenditures
Expenditure relating to development of assets which include the construction, installation and completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and development wells, is capitalised within property, plant and equipment.
Changes in unit-of-production factors
Changes in factors which affect unit-of-production calculations are dealt with prospectively, not by immediate adjustment of prior years’ amounts.
Decommissioning
Provision for future decommissioning costs is made in full when the group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a facility or an item of plant and to restore the site on which it is located, and when a reasonable estimate of that liability can be made. The amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure. An amount equivalent to the discounted initial provision for decommissioning costs is capitalised and amortised over the life of the underlying asset on a unit-of-production basis over proven and probable reserves. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and the oil & gas asset.
The unwinding of the discount applied to future decommissioning provisions is included under finance costs in the income statement.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Investments classified as available-for-sale are initially stated at fair value, including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at their fair value using quoted market rates or in the absence of market data other fair value calculation methodologies. Gains and losses are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold or impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the consolidated income statement.
Impairment of assets (excluding goodwill)
At each statement of financial position date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment is treated as a revaluation increase.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost comprises purchase price, cost of production, transportation and other directly allocable expenses. Costs of inventories, other than raw materials, are determined using the first-in-first-out method. Costs of raw materials are determined using the weighted average method.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2010
2 Summary of significant accounting policies continued Work in progress and billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings
Fixed price lump sum engineering, procurement and construction contracts are presented in the statement of financial position as follows:
-
for each contract, the accumulated cost incurred, as well as the estimated earnings recognised at the contract’s percentage of completion less provision for any anticipated losses, after deducting the progress payments received or receivable from the customers, are shown in current assets in the statement of financial position under ‘Work in progress’
-
where the payments received or receivable for any contract exceed the cost and estimated earnings less provision for any anticipated losses, the excess is shown as ‘Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings’ within current liabilities
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any amounts estimated to be uncollectable. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the collection of the full amount is no longer probable under the terms of the original invoice. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectable.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
If an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender, on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability such that the difference in the respective carrying amounts together with any costs or fees incurred are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Pensions and other long-term employment benefits
The group has various defined contribution pension schemes in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries in which it operates. The amount charged to the consolidated income statement in respect of pension costs reflects the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable during the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accrued liabilities or prepaid assets in the statement of financial position.
The group’s other long-term employment benefits are provided in accordance with the labour laws of the countries in which the group operates, further details of which are given in note 27.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs directly attributable to the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised in the consolidated income statement as a finance cost.
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset) is derecognised where:
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
-
the group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or
-
the group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset
Share-based payment transactions
Employees (including directors) of the group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any service or performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Petrofac Limited (‘market conditions’), if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the ‘vesting period’). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied. Equity awards cancelled are treated as vesting immediately on the date of cancellation, and any expense not recognised for the award at that date is recognised in the income statement.
Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust
The Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust was established on 7 March 2007 to warehouse ordinary shares purchased to satisfy various new share scheme awards made to the employees of the Company, which will be transferred to the members of the scheme on their respective vesting dates subject to satisfying the performance conditions of each scheme. The trust has been presented as part of both the Company and group financial statements in accordance with SIC 12 ‘Special Purpose Entities’. The cost of shares temporarily held by Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust is reflected as treasury shares and deducted from equity.

Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset.
The group has entered into various operating leases the payments for which are recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria also apply:
Engineering, procurement and construction services (Engineering & Construction)
Revenues from fixed-price lump-sum contracts are recognised on the percentage-of-completion method, based on surveys of work performed once the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably. In the early stages of contract completion, when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable.
Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognised on the basis of costs incurred during the year plus the fee earned measured by the cost-to-cost method.
Revenues from reimbursable contracts are recognised in the period in which the services are provided based on the agreed contract schedule of rates.
Provision is made for all losses expected to arise on completion of contracts entered into at the statement of financial position date, whether or not work has commenced on these contracts.
Incentive payments are included in revenue when the contract is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified performance standards will be met or exceeded and the amount of the incentive payments can be measured reliably. Claims and variation orders are only included in revenue when negotiations have reached an advanced stage such that it is probable the claim/variation orders will be accepted and can be measured reliably.
Facilities management, engineering and training services (Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions)
Revenues from reimbursable contracts are recognised in the period in which the services are provided based on the agreed contract schedule of rates.
Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognised on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by milestones completed or earned value once the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably. In the early stages of contract completion, when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable.
Incentive payments are included in revenue when the contract is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified performance standards will be met or exceeded and the amount of the incentive payments can be measured reliably. Claims are only included in revenue when negotiations have reached an advanced stage such that it is probable the claim will be accepted and can be measured reliably.
Oil & gas activities (Energy Developments)
Oil & gas revenues comprise the group’s share of sales from the processing or sale of hydrocarbons on an entitlement basis, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer.
Pre-contract/bid costs
Pre-contract/bid costs incurred are recognised as an expense until there is a high probability that the contract will be awarded, after which all further costs are recognised as assets and expensed out over the life of the contract.
Income taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to the taxation authorities. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, with the following exceptions:
-
where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Current and deferred income tax is charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or equity if it relates to items that are credited or charged to respectively, other comprehensive income or equity. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies continued Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interest rate collars and swaps and oil price collars and forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency, interest rate and oil price fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken to the consolidated income statement.
The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate cap, swap and oil price collar contracts is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.
For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:
-
fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or
-
cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash
-
flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction
Cash flow hedges
For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in statement of changes in equity, while the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects the consolidated income statement.
If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the consolidated income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in statement of changes in equity is immediately transferred to the consolidated income statement.
Embedded derivatives
Contracts are assessed for the existence of embedded derivatives at the date that the group first becomes party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows. Embedded derivatives which are not clearly and closely related to the underlying asset, liability or transaction are separated and accounted for as standalone derivatives.
The group formally designates and documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item at the inception of the transaction, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The documentation also includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of risk being hedged and how the group will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items.
The treatment of gains and losses arising from revaluing derivatives designated as hedging instruments depends on the nature of the hedging relationship, as follows:

3 Segment information
For management purposes Petrofac is organised into seven main types of business unit activities which have been split into four reportable segments below. Whilst Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions are three fairly diverse businesses none have ever met the quantitative thresholds set by IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ for determining reportable segments.
The four reportable segments shown below consist of:
-
Engineering & Construction which provides engineering, procurement and construction project execution services to the onshore oil & gas industry
-
Offshore Engineering & Operations which provides operations management services to the offshore oil & gas industry
-
Energy Developments which co-invests with partners in oil & gas production, processing and transportation assets
-
Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions activities consist of the provision of early stage engineering services such as conceptual FEED studies, oil & gas related technical competency training and consultancy services and production improvement services under value aligned commercial structures
Management separately monitors the trading results of its seven business units for the purpose of making an assessment of their performance and making decisions about how resources are allocated to them. Each business unit/segment performance is measured based on its profitability which is reflected in a manner consistent with the results shown below. However, certain shareholder services related overheads, group financing and consolidation adjustments are managed at a corporate level and are not allocated to operating segments.
The following tables represent revenue and profit information relating to the group’s reporting segments for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Included in revenues from rendering of services are Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering, Training Services and Production Solutions revenues of a ‘pass-through’ nature with zero or low margins amounting to US$227,974,000 (2009: US$230,262,000).
b. Cost of sales
Included in cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2010 is US$154,000 (2009: US$908,000 gain) gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment used to undertake various engineering and construction contracts. In addition depreciation charged on property, plant and equipment of US$85,186,000 during 2010 (2009: US$104,997,000) is included in cost of sales (note 9).
Also included in cost of sales are forward points and ineffective portions on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and loss on maturity of undesignated derivatives of US$3,409,000 (2009: US$19,508,000 gain). These amounts are an economic hedge but do not meet the criteria within IAS39 and are most appropriately recorded in cost of sales.

The group’s effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2010, including the US$124,864,000 gain on the demerger of Energy Development’s UKCS business is 16.5% and excluding this gain, the effective tax rate is 20.3% (2009: 19.3%).
On 5 April 2010, the group completed the demerger of its UKCS business to EnQuest PLC, an independent company which is listed on the London and Stockholm stock exchanges. No chargeable gain arose on the transaction for UK corporate tax purposes. This decreased the group’s effective tax rate for the period.
Excluding the gain from the demerger, there has been a small increase in the group’s effective tax rate. Factors contributing to this increase compared to 2009 include ring fence expenditure supplement no longer being available for claim following the demerger of Petrofac Energy Developments Limited, no additional adjustments being made in respect of the applicability of the lower tax rate to the group’s project in Oman, material changes in jurisdictions in which profits are expected to be earned by the Engineering & Construction reporting segment and due to recent acquisitions. There has also been an increase in reportable profit within taxable jurisdictions. In June 2010, the UK Government announced its intention to propose to Parliament to reduce the UK corporation tax rate from 28% to 24% over the course of four years. From 1 April 2011 the UK corporate rate is 27% and will impact the reversal of the temporary difference from this date onwards, reducing the UK tax assets and liabilities. This UK tax rate change has been substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

7 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, after adjusting for any dilutive effect, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effects of ordinary shares granted under the employee share award schemes which are held in trust.
The following reflects the income and share data used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

No interest has been capitalised within oil & gas facilities during the year (2009: nil) and the accumulated capitalised interest, net of depreciation at 31 December 2010, was US$432,000 (2009: US$931,000).
Additions to oil & gas assets in 2009 mainly comprise development expenses capitalised on the group’s interest in the Don area assets of US$274,114,000. During the year, the Don assets were demerged and as a result oil & gas assets with a net book value of US$410,855,000 were disposed of (note 11).
Included in oil & gas assets are US$2,196,000 (2009: US$50,726,000) of capitalised decommissioning costs net of depreciation provided on the PM304 asset in Malaysia and the Chergui asset in Tunisia. The decrease in the 31 December 2010 oil & gas asset’s balance is due to the demerger of the Don area assets in the United Kingdom (note 11).
Of the total charge for depreciation in the income statement, US$85,186,000 (2009: US$104,997,000) is included in cost of sales and US$8,206,000 (2009: US$6,907,000) in selling, general and administration expenses.
Assets under construction comprises of expenditures incurred in relation to the group ERP project.

- In order to effect the demerger of the PEDL sub group to EnQuest, the existing issued ordinary share capital of Petrofac Limited was subdivided and converted into new ordinary
Petrofac shares with a nominal value of US$0.02 each and Petrofac B shares of US$0.005 each and subsequent to this share split the B shares were purchased and cancelled in exchange for an allotment and issue of EnQuest ordinary shares directly to holders of Petrofac B shares.
As a result of this capital re-organisation and purchase of Petrofac B shares US$1,728,000 of Petrofac issued ordinary share capital was extinguished and transferred to retained earnings and the non-cash distribution to Petrofac shareholders for accounting purposes of US$553,300,000 was made via the utilisation of the existing share premium account balance of US$71,172,000 with the remaining amount of US$482,128,000 being transferred out of retained earnings. In addition US$8,803,000 of proceeds generated by the Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust selling its holding of EnQuest shares arising from the demerger have been credited to retained earnings leaving a net impact on retained earnings of US$473,325,000.

==> picture [520 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering Services, Production Solutions and Training cash-generating units
The recoverable amounts for the Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering Services, Production Solutions and Training units have been determined based on value in use calculations, using discounted pre-tax cash flow projections. Management has adopted a ten-year projection period to assess each unit’s value in use as it is confident based on past experience of the accuracy of long-term cash flow forecasts that these projections are reliable. The cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five year period, extrapolated for a further five years at a growth rate of 5% for Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering Services and Training cash-generating units and 2.5% per annum for Production Solutions cash-generating unit since it includes newly acquired businesses where there is less historic track record of achieving financial projections.
Energy Developments cash-generating unit
The recoverable amount of the Energy Developments unit is also determined on a value in use calculation using discounted pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets and economic assumptions for the unit approved by senior management and covering a five-year period, as referred to in IAS 36.

| 105,832 | 97,922 |
Key assumptions used in value in use calculations
The calculation of value in use for the Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering Services, Production Solutions and Training Services units is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
Market share: the assumption relating to market share for the Offshore Engineering & Operations unit is based on the unit re-securing those existing customer contracts in the UK which are due to expire during the projection period; for the Training Services unit, the key assumptions relate to management’s assessment of maintaining the unit’s market share in the UK and developing further the business in international markets.
Growth rate: estimates are based on management’s assessment of market share having regard to macro-economic factors and the growth rates experienced in the recent past by each unit. A growth rate of 5% per annum has been applied for Offshore Engineering & Operations, Engineering Services and Training Services cash-generating units for the remaining five years of the ten-year projection period and 2.5% per annum for Production Solutions cash-generating unit since it includes newly acquired businesses where there is less historic track record of achieving financial projections.
Net profit margins: estimates are based on management’s assumption of achieving a level of performance at least in line with the recent past performance of each of the units.
Discount rate: management has used a pre-tax discount rate of 14.6% per annum for each of Offshore Engineering & Operations (2009: 14.5%), Engineering Services (2009: n/a) Production Solutions (2009: 14.5%) and Training (2009: 14.5%) cash-generating units which are derived from the estimated weighted average cost of capital of the group. This discount rate has been calculated using an estimated risk free rate of return adjusted for the group’s estimated equity market risk premium and the group’s cost of debt.
The calculation of value in use for the Energy Developments unit is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
Discount rate: management has used an estimate of the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital of the group plus a risk premium to reflect the particular risk characteristics of each individual asset. The discount rate used for 2010 was 13.4% for each asset (2009: 10.5%).
Oil & gas prices: management has used an oil price assumption of US$75.00 (2009: US$70.00) per barrel and a gas price of US$8.73 (2009: US$8.30) per mcf for the impairment testing of its individual oil & gas investments.
Reserve volumes and production profiles: management has used its internally developed economic models of reserves and production as a basis of calculating value in use.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
Other than the assumed success of the Ticleni contract in Production Solutions with regard to the assessment of value in use of the cash generating units, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the relevant unit to exceed its recoverable amount, after giving due consideration to the macro-economic outlook for the oil & gas industry and the commercial arrangements with customers underpinning the cash flow forecasts for each of the units.

Gateway Storage Company Limited
On 6 December 2010, the group acquired a 20% equity interest in Gateway Storage Company Limited (Gateway), an unlisted entity, to progress and develop the Gateway Gas Storage project in the East Irish Sea. The initial cost of the investment was Sterling 5,000,000 (equivalent US$7,795,000) together with, transaction costs of US$664,000 and contracted value of free services to be provided by the group of Sterling 500,000 (equivalent US$780,000). Additional contingent payments may become payable under the terms of the investment, subject to key project development milestones being achieved, including the outcome of further successful equity sales. Deferred consideration of Sterling 4,160,000 (equivalent US$6,556,000) has been estimated as payable using a discounted storage project cash flow model assuming certain project scenarios to which estimated probabilities were assigned by management. The deferred consideration in no event will exceed an additional amount of Sterling 28,000,000 (equivalent US$43,705,000). The share of the associate’s statement of financial position is as follows:

The credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is assessed by management with reference to externally prepared customer credit reports and the historic payment track records of the counterparties.
Advances represent payments made to certain of the group’s sub-contractors for projects in progress, on which the related work had not been performed at the statement of financial position date. The increase in advances during 2010 relates to new contract awards in the Engineering & Construction business partly offset by the unwinding of advances on more mature contracts.
Included in other receivables are US$ nil (2009: US$46,697,000) recoverable from venture partners on the Don assets being their share of accrued expenses.
All trade and other receivables are expected to be settled in cash.
Certain trade and other receivables will be settled in cash using currencies other than the reporting currency of the group, and will be largely paid in Sterling and Kuwaiti Dinars.

24 Share-based payment plans
Performance Share Plan (PSP)
Under the Performance Share Plan of the Company, share awards are granted to executive directors and a restricted number of other senior executives of the group. The shares cliff vest at the end of three years subject to continued employment and the achievement of certain pre-defined non-market and market-based performance conditions. The non-market-based condition governing the vesting of 50% of the total award, is subject to achieving between 10% and 20% earning per share (EPS) growth targets over a three-year period. The fair values of the equity-settled award relating to the EPS part of the scheme are estimated based on the quoted closing market price per Company share at the date of grant with an assumed vesting rate per annum built into the calculation (subsequently trued up at year end based on the actual leaver rate during the period from award date to year end) over the three-year vesting period of the plan. The fair value and assumed vesting rates of the EPS part of the scheme are shown below:
| rates | of the EPS part of the scheme are shown below: | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value | Assumed | ||
| per share | vesting rate | ||
| 2010 | awards | 1,103p | 95.0% |
| 2009 | awards | 545p | 93.6% |
| 2008 | awards | 522p | 89.1% |
| 2007 | awards | 415p | 94.3% |
The remaining 50% market performance based part of these awards is dependent on the total shareholder return (TSR) of the group compared to an index composed of selected relevant companies. The fair value of the shares vesting under this portion of the award is determined by an independent valuer using a Monte Carlo simulation model taking into account the terms and conditions of the plan rules and using the following assumptions at the date of grant:
| 2010 awards | 2009 awards | 2008 awards | 2007 awards | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expected share price volatility (based on median of | ||||

| Risk-free interest rate | 1.50% | 2.10% | 3.79% | 5.20% |
| Expected life of share award | 3years | 3years | 3years | 3years |
| Fair value of TSRportion | 743p | 456p | 287p | 245p |
The following shows the movement in the number of shares held under the PSP scheme outstanding but not exercisable:
| 2010 | 2009 |

| Number | Number |

| Forfeited duringtheyear (65,453) |
(24,756) |
| Outstandingat 31 December 1,350,189 |
1,432,680 |
The number of outstanding shares exclude the 8% uplift adjustment made in respect of the EnQuest demerger (82,594 shares) and any rolled up declared dividends (64,264 shares) (2009: 60,830). The 8% uplift adjustment compensated the existing share plan holders for the loss in market value of Petrofac shares on flotation of EnQuest and employees have no legal right to receive dividend shares until the shares ultimately vest.
The number of awards still outstanding but not exercisable at 31 December 2010 is made up of 390,278 in respect of 2010 awards (2009: nil), 538,602 in respect of 2009 awards (2009: 576,780), 421,309 in respect of 2008 awards (2009: 431,843), and nil in respect of 2007 awards (2009: 424,057).
The charge recognised in the current year amounted to US$3,208,000 (2009: US$2,727,000).
Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP)
Executive directors and selected employees were originally eligible to participate in this scheme although the Remuneration Committee decided in 2007 that executive directors should no longer continue to participate. Participants are required, or in some cases invited, to receive a proportion of any bonus in ordinary shares of the Company (‘Invested Awards’). Following such an award, the Company will generally grant the participant an additional award of a number of shares bearing a specified ratio to the number of his or her invested shares (‘Matching Shares’).
A change in the rules of the DBSP scheme was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 11 May 2007 such that the 2007 share awards and for any awards made thereafter, the invested and Matching Shares would, unless the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors determined otherwise, vest 33.33% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, a further 33.33% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and the final 33.34% of the award on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

24 Share-based payment plans continued
Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP) continued
At the year end the values of the bonuses settled by shares cannot be determined until all employees have confirmed the voluntary portion of their bonus they wish to be settled by shares rather than cash and until the Remuneration Committee has approved the mandatory portion of the employee bonuses to be settled in shares. Once the voluntary and mandatory portions of the bonus to be settled in shares are determined, the final bonus liability to be settled in shares is transferred to the reserve for share-based payments. The costs relating to the Matching Shares are recognised over the relevant vesting period and the fair values of the equity-settled Matching Shares granted to employees are based on the quoted closing market price at the date of grant adjusted for the trued up percentage vesting rate of the plan. The details of the fair values and assumed vesting rates of the DBSP scheme are below:
| Fair value | Assumed | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| per share | vesting rate | ||
| 2010 | awards | 1,185p | 94.4% |
| 2009 | awards | 545p | 93.9% |
| 2008 | awards | 522p | 90.9% |
| 2007 | awards | 415p | 89.6% |

The number of outstanding shares exclude the 8% uplift adjustment made in respect of the EnQuest demerger (327,058 shares) and rolled up declared dividends of 184,599 (2009: 169,836).
The number of awards still outstanding but not exercisable at 31 December 2010 is made up of 1,313,894 in respect of 2010 awards (2009: nil), 1,948,340 in respect of 2009 awards (2009: 2,696,752), 820,077 in respect of 2008 awards (2009: 1,237,786), and nil in respect of 2007 awards (2009: 759,653).
The charge recognised in the 2010 income statement in relation to matching share awards amounted to US$9,195,000 (2009: US$8,064,000).
Share Incentive Plan (SIP)
All UK employees, including UK resident directors, are eligible to participate in the scheme. Employees may invest up to Sterling 1,500 per tax year of gross salary (or, if lower, 10% of salary) to purchase ordinary shares in the Company. There is no holding period for these shares.
Restricted Share Plan (RSP)
Under the Restricted Share Plan scheme, selected employees are granted shares in the Company over a discretionary vesting period which may or may not be, at the direction of the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions. At present there are no performance conditions applying to this scheme nor is there currently any intention to introduce them in the future. The fair values of the awards granted under the plan at various grant dates during the year are based on the quoted market price at the date of grant adjusted for an assumed vesting rate over the relevant vesting period. For details of the fair values and assumed vesting rate of the RSP scheme, see below:
| Weighted | |||

Nature and purpose of other reserves
Net unrealised gains/(losses) on available-for-sale financial assets
This reserve records fair value changes on available-for-sale financial assets held by the group net of deferred tax effects. Realised gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised as other income or expenses in the consolidated income statement.
Net unrealised gains/(losses) on derivatives
The portion of gains or losses on cash flow hedging instruments that are determined to be effective hedges are included within this reserve net of related deferred tax effects. When the hedged transaction occurs or is no longer forecast to occur, the gain or loss is transferred out of equity to the consolidated income statement. Realised net gains amounting to US$16,764,000 (2009: US$5,161,000) relating to foreign currency forward contracts and financial assets designated as cash flow hedges have been recognised in cost of sales, realised net losses of US$ nil (2009: US$1,470,000 loss) relating to interest rate derivatives have been classified as a net interest expense and a realised net loss of US$152,000 (2009: US$611,000 gain) was added to revenues in respect of oil derivatives.

Net unrealised gain/(losses) on derivatives continued
The forward currency points element and ineffective portion of derivative financial instruments relating to forward currency contracts and gains on the maturity of un-designated derivatives amounting to a net loss of US$3,409,000 (2009: US$19,508,000 gain) have been recognised in the cost of sales.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements in foreign subsidiaries. It is also used to record exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the group’s net investment in subsidiaries.
Reserve for share-based payments
The reserve for share-based payments is used to record the value of equity settled share-based payments awarded to employees and transfers out of this reserve are made upon vesting of the original share awards.
The transfer during the year reflects the transfer from accrued expenses within trade and other payables of the bonus liability relating to the year ended 2009 of US$12,750,000 (2008 bonus of US$10,942,000) which has been voluntarily elected or mandatorily obliged to be settled in shares during the year (note 24).

Other long-term employment benefits provision
Labour laws in certain countries in which the group operates require employers to provide for other long-term employment benefits. These benefits are payable to employees on being transferred to another jurisdiction or on cessation of employment.
Provision for decommissioning
The decommissioning provision primarily relates to the group’s obligation for the removal of facilities and restoration of the site at the PM304 field in Malaysia and at Chergui in Tunisia. The liability is discounted at the rate of 3.80% on PM304 (2009: 3.80%), 5.25% on Chergui (2009: 5.25%) and nil% (2009: 4.50%) on demerged Don assets. The unwinding of the discount is classified as finance cost (note 5). The group estimates that the cash outflows against these provisions will arise in 2014 on PM304 and in 2018 on Chergui.
Provision for insurance claims
The provision for insurance claims relates to the amount set aside to cover potential future insurance claims against the group which will be settled by the captive insurance company Jermyn Insurance Company Limited.

31 Commitments and contingencies
Commitments
In the normal course of business the group will obtain surety bonds, letters of credit and guarantees, which are contractually required to secure performance, advance payment or in lieu of retentions being withheld.

33 Risk management and financial instruments
Risk management objectives and policies
The group’s principal financial assets and liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise available-for-sale financial assets, trade and other receivables, amounts due from/to related parties, cash and short-term deposits, work-in-progress, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and deferred consideration.
The group’s activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risk on its variable rate cash and short-term deposits, loans and borrowings and foreign currency risk on both conducting business in currencies other than reporting currency as well as translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to the reporting currency. These risks are managed from time to time by using a combination of various derivative instruments, principally interest rate swaps, caps and forward currency contracts in line with the group’s hedging policies. The group has a policy not to enter into speculative trading of financial derivatives.
The Board of Directors of the Company has established an Audit Committee and Risk Committee to help identify, evaluate and manage the significant financial risks faced by the group and their activities are discussed in detail on pages 80 to 83.

33 Risk management and financial instruments continued
The other main risks besides interest rate and foreign currency risk arising from the group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk and the policies relating to these risks are discussed in detail below:
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the group’s interest-bearing financial liabilities and assets.
The group’s exposure to market risk arising from changes in interest rates relates primarily to the group’s long-term variable rate debt obligations and its cash and bank balances. The group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The group’s cash and bank balances are at floating rates of interest.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The impact on the group’s pre-tax profit and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on loans and borrowings at the reporting date is demonstrated in the table below. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
| Pre-tax proft | Equity | |
|---|---|---|

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges
At 31 December 2010, the group held no derivative instruments, designated as cash flow hedges in relation to floating rate interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Foreign currency risk
The group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, and translation of assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the functional currency of its operating units. The group is also exposed to the translation of the functional currencies of its units to the US Dollar reporting currency of the group. The following table summarises the percentage of foreign currency denominated revenues, costs, financial assets and financial liabilities, expressed in US Dollar terms, of the group totals.

| Non-current fnancial liabilities | 59.4% | 34.6% |
The group uses forward currency contracts to manage the currency exposure on transactions significant to its operations. It is the group’s policy not to enter into forward contracts until a highly probable forecast transaction is in place and to negotiate the terms of the derivative instruments used for hedging to match the terms of the hedged item to maximise hedge effectiveness.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The income statements of foreign operations are translated into the reporting currency using a weighted average exchange rate of conversion. Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the reporting date. Revenues and costs in currencies other than the functional currency of an operating unit are recorded at the prevailing rate at the date of the transaction. The following significant exchange rates applied during the year in relation to US Dollars:
| 2010 | 2009 | |
|---|---|---|
| Average rate Closing rate |

The following table summarises the impact on the group’s pre-tax profit and equity (due to change in the fair value of monetary assets, liabilities and derivative instruments) of a reasonably possible change in US Dollar exchange rates with respect to different currencies:

During 2010, changes in fair value losses of US$19,456,000 (2009: losses US$28,043,000) relating to these derivative instruments and financial assets were taken to equity and US$16,764,000 of gains (2009: US$5,161,000 gains) were recycled from equity into cost of sales in the income statement. The forward points and ineffective portions of the above foreign exchange forward contracts and loss on maturity of un-designated derivatives of US$3,409,000 (2009: US$19,508,000 gains) were recognised in the income statement (note 4b).
Commodity price risk – oil prices
The group is exposed to the impact of changes in oil & gas prices on its revenues and profits generated from sales of crude oil & gas. The group’s policy is to manage its exposure to the impact of changes in oil and gas prices using derivative instruments, primarily swaps and collars. Hedging is only undertaken once sufficiently reliable and regular long term forecast production data is available.
During the year the group entered into various crude oil swaps hedging oil production of 176,400 bbl (2009: 96,000 bbl) with maturities ranging from 1 April 2010 to 31 December 2011. In addition, fuel oil swaps were also entered into for hedging gas production of 43,750MT (2009: 27,000MT) with maturities from 1 April 2010 to 31 December 2011.
The fair value of oil derivatives at 31 December 2010 was US$1,163,000 liability (2009: US$1,813,000 liability) with a loss recognised in equity of US$1,163,000 (2009: US$1,813,000 loss). During the year, a loss of US$152,000 (2009: US$611,000 gain) was recognised in the consolidated income statement on the occurrence of the hedged transactions.
The following table summarises the impact on the group’s pre-tax profit and equity (due to a change in the fair value of oil derivative instruments and the underlifting asset/overlifting liability) of a reasonably possible change in the oil price:
| Pre-tax proft | Equity | |
|---|---|---|
| +10 US$/bbl increase US$’000 -10 US$/bbl decrease US$’000 |

Credit risk
The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. Business Unit Risk Review Committees (BURRC) have been set up by the Board of Directors to evaluate the creditworthiness of each individual third party at the time of entering into new contracts. Limits have been placed on the approval authority of the BURRC above which the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company is required. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with appropriate follow-up action taken where necessary. At 31 December 2010, the group’s five largest customers accounted for 72.0% of outstanding trade receivables and work in progress (2009: 57.5%).
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and certain derivative instruments, the group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Liquidity risk
The group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, revolving credit facilities, project finance and term loans to reduce its exposure to liquidity risk. The maturity profiles of the group’s financial liabilities at 31 December 2010 are as follows:

Market values have been used to determine the fair values of available-for-sale financial assets, forward currency contracts and oil derivatives. Seven Energy warrant’s fair value has been calculated using a Black Scholes option valuation model (note 16). The fair values of long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings are equivalent to their amortised costs determined as the present value of discounted future cash flows using the effective interest rate. The Company considers that the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, work-in-progress, trade and other payables, other current and non-current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values and are therefore excluded from the above table.

Independent auditors’ report
To the members of Petrofac Limited
We have audited the parent company financial statements of Petrofac Limited (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2010 which comprise the company income statement, the company statement of comprehensive income, the company statement of financial position, the company cash flow statement, the company statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 17. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable Jersey law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Article 113A of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and our engagement letter dated 15 February 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ responsibilities set out on page 96, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the parent company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the parent company financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2010 and of its profit for the year then ended
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991
Opinion on other matter
In our opinion the part of the remuneration report to be audited, which you have instructed us to review, has been properly prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation as described therein.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters:
-
where the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
proper accounting records have not been kept, or proper returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
-
where the Company instructed us to review certain elements of the report to shareholders by the Board on director’s remuneration
Other matter
In addition the Company has also instructed us to:
-
report to you our opinion on whether the section of the remuneration report that is described as audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation described therein
-
review certain elements of the report to shareholders by the Board on Directors’ remuneration, which for a premium listed UK incorporated company is specified for review by the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority
We have reported separately on the group financial statements of Petrofac Limited for the year ended 31 December 2010.
Justine Belton
for and on behalf of Ernst & Young LLP London 4 March 2011
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the parent company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements.
-
1 The maintenance and integrity of the Petrofac Limited website is the responsibility of the Directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.
-
2 Legislation in Jersey governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any outstanding bank overdrafts.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs directly attributable to the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.
Employee Benefit Trust
The Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust (PEBT) is treated as an extension of the activities of the Company and accordingly the Company financial statements include all transactions and balances of the PEBT except for transaction and balances between the company and PEBT.
Share-based payment transactions
Employees (including directors) of the group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any service or performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Petrofac Limited (‘market conditions’), if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the ‘vesting period’). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied. Equity awards cancelled are treated as vesting immediately on the date of cancellation, and any expense not recognised for the award at that date is recognised in the income statement.
The Company operates a number of share award schemes on behalf of the employees of the group which are described in detail in note 24 of the consolidated financial statements of the group.
The reserve for share-based payments is used to record the value of equity settled share-based payments awarded to employees and transfers out of this reserve are made upon vesting of the original share awards. The share-based payments charges pertaining to fellow group companies are recharged to them and shown as investment. Subsequently they are transferred to due from subsidiaries and settled in cash.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Investments classified as available-for-sale are initially stated at fair value, including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at their fair value using quoted market rates or in the absence of market data other fair value calculation methodologies. Gains and losses are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold or impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interest rate collars and swaps and oil price collars and forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency, interest rate and oil price fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken to the income statement.
The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate cap, swap and oil price collar contracts is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.

5 Gain on EnQuest demerger
On 5 April 2010, the group’s interests in the Don area oil assets were demerged via a transfer of three of its subsidiaries, Petrofac Energy Developments Limited (PEDL), Petrofac Energy Developments Oceania Limited (PEDOL) and PEDL Limited (PEDLL) to EnQuest PLC for a deemed consideration for accounting purposes of US$553,300,000 which was settled by the issue of EnQuest PLC shares directly to Petrofac Limited shareholders*. The gain on the demerger transaction has been computed as follows:
| US$’000 | |
|---|---|
| Fair value of consideration | 553,300 |
| Less: | |
| Net book value of PEDL investment | (373,774) |
| Transaction costs | (1,636) |
| Gain on demerger | 177,890 |
- In order to effect the demerger of the PEDL sub group to EnQuest, the existing issued ordinary share capital of Petrofac Limited was subdivided and converted into new ordinary Petrofac shares with a nominal value of US$0.02 each and Petrofac B shares of US$0.005 each and subsequent to this share split the B shares were purchased and cancelled in exchange for an allotment and issue of EnQuest ordinary shares directly to holders of Petrofac B shares.
As a result of this capital re-organisation and purchase of Petrofac B shares US$1,728,000 of Petrofac issued ordinary share capital was extinguished and transferred to retained earnings and the non-cash distribution to Petrofac shareholders for accounting purposes of US$553,300,000 was made via the utilisation of the existing share premium account of balance of US$71,172,000 with the remaining amount of US$482,128,000 being transferred out of retained earnings. In addition US$8,803,000 of proceeds generated by the Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust selling its holding of EnQuest shares arising from the demerger have been credited to retained earnings leaving a net impact on retained earnings of US$473,325,000.

15 Risk management and financial instruments
Risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s principal financial assets and liabilities, are amounts due from and due to subsidiaries, cash and short-term deposits and interest bearing loans and borrowings.
The Company’s activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risks on its external variable rate loans and borrowings which are addressed by using derivative instruments to hedge this exposure. The Company has a policy not to enter into speculative trading of financial derivatives.
The other main risks besides interest rate are foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk and the policies relating to these risks are discussed in detail below:
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Company’s interest-bearing financial liabilities and assets. The Company does not hedge its exposure on its interest bearing funding to/from subsidiaries.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The impact on the Company’s pre-tax profit and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates is demonstrated in the table below. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
| Pre-tax proft | Equity | |
|---|---|---|
| 100 basis point increase US$’000 100 basis point decrease US$’000 |

Financial liabilities in the above table are disclosed gross of debt acquisition costs and effective interest rate adjustments of US$2,622,000 (2009: US$2,864,000).
Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year.
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges
There were no outstanding interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges at 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2010.
Foreign currency risk
Almost all of the financial assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in US Dollars. The foreign currency exposure is limited to Sterling 3,134,000 equivalent US$4,892,000 (2009: Sterling 3,300,000 equivalent US$5,354,000) of its interest bearing loans and borrowings.
The following table summarises the impact on the Company’s pre-tax profit and equity (due to change in the fair value of monetary assets, liabilities and derivative instruments) of a reasonably possible change in US Dollar exchange rates with respect to different currencies:
| Pre-tax proft | Equity | |
|---|---|---|

Credit risk
The Company’s principal financial assets are cash and short-term deposits and amounts due from subsidiaries.
The Company manages its credit risk in relation to cash and short-term deposits by only depositing cash with financial institutions that have high credit ratings provided by international credit rating agencies.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of term loans and revolving credit facilities to reduce its exposure to liquidity risk.

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and their carrying amounts included within the Company’s statement of financial position are set out below:
| Carrying amount | Fair value | |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 US$’000 2009 US$’000 |
2010 US$’000 2009 US$’000 |
|
| Financial assets Cash and short-term deposits |

88,257 64,387 |
| Financial liabilities Interest-bearingloans and borrowings |
38,530 65,267 |
38,530 65,267 |
The fair values of long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings and long-term receivable from a subsidiary are equivalent to amortised costs determined as the present value of discounted future cash flows using the effective interest rate. The Company considers that the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, amounts due from/due to subsidiaries, trade and other payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their fair values and are therefore excluded from the above table.
Fair value hierarchy
The following financial instruments are measured at fair value using the hierarchy below for determination and disclosure of their respective fair values:
Tier 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities Tier 2: Other valuation techniques where the inputs are based on all observation data (directly or indirectly) Tier 3: Other valuation techniques where the inputs are based on unobservable market data
