The Risk Management Committee Report
PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) is committed to continuously enhancing its risk management practices to ensure that the Company fulfills its vision, mission, goals, and strategies, while also creating long-term value for both the Company and its stakeholders. In 2024, PTTEP continued to be resilient in the face of challenges and risks across in multiple aspects, including the energy transition, severe and unpredictable climate change, natural disasters, disruptive technologies and innovations, escalating geopolitical tensions, fluctuations in oil prices and exchange rates, and evolving cyber threats.
The Board of Directors has appointed the Risk Management Committee to oversee the Company’s overall risk management in accordance with the established policies and the risk management framework. The Risk Management Committee comprised of four members, including two independent directors: Mr. Veerathai Santiprabhob, Mr. Wuttikorn Stithit, General Nithi Chungcharoen, and Mr. Wattanapong Kurovat.
In 2024, the Risk Management Committee convened 13 times, including a co-meeting with the Audit Committee. Three members attended all the meetings, while one member was absent once due to a prior commitment. The key meeting agenda items and the Committee’s performance can be summarized as follows:
- Governed strategic risk management at both the corporate strategy and strategy execution levels focusing on three strategic pillars: Drive Value – enhancing the value of the petroleum exploration and production business, Decarbonize – reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and Diversify – growing new business sectors. This ensured that PTTEP could execute its strategies or resiliently adjust them in response to changing internal and external factors in a timely manner. Additionally, the Committee considered the 2025 Work Program and Budget as well as the five-year (2025-2029) investment plan.
- Monitored risks, including geopolitical events associated with existing projects, and provided recommendations to mitigate the likelihood of potential risks and impacts. This included risk assessments and mitigation plans for the G1/61 Project to ensure natural gas delivery to meet contractual obligations, the Myanmar Project to maintain continuous operations, and the Southwest Vietnam Project for the final investment decision to enter the development phase, while considering both risks and potential economic returns.
- Screened and provided opinions on the investment expansion in the petroleum exploration and production business, including stake acquisitions and exploration ventures in new areas that align with the investment strategy in key strategic regions, as well as divestments to manage the overall portfolio in alignment with strategic objectives. The Committee also advised on risks and potential opportunities, mitigations, and monitored those risks.
- Screened and provided opinions on the investment expansion into new businesses and future energy technologies to support the energy transition, as well as advising on investment strategies, risks, and potential opportunities, such as conducting option analyses, forming joint ventures with expert companies to gain insights and expand business opportunities, and monitoring emerging technologies from leading countries to assess potential investment opportunities.
- Considered the Risk Management Committee Charter, the Risk Governance Framework, the Risk Appetite Statement, Corporate-Level Risk Metrics and Limits, and the Enterprise Risk Management Policy, ensuring that they reflected the implementation of strategies and aligned with evolving business objectives, particularly in strategic risk management and promoting risk management as a core element of the corporate culture. The Committee also advised on enhancing risk management efficiency, such as quarterly monitoring of key assumptions for strategies and applying scenario planning concepts to manage risks in situations with multiple potential outcomes.
- Attended co-meetings with the Audit Committee to monitor progress on any material transactions involving the Company's investment or divestment projects from 2023 to the present, in accordance with the best practices of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Committee also exchanged insights on the 2025 annual audit plan, key recurring audit findings, and strategic risks.
In addition to the above, the Risk Management Committee has continuously overseen the Company's key risks to ensure that they remain within acceptable levels as defined by the Company. These include risks related to exploration and production operations, finance, cybersecurity, legal matters, the environment, and emerging risks. The Committee regularly reports the results of risk management to the PTTEP Board on a monthly basis, including prompt updates on key risks that impact the corporate level.
The Risk Management Committee has carried out its duties to the best of its ability, with careful consideration and independence, in overseeing PTTEP's risk management in line with the scope, authority, and responsibilities defined in the Risk Management Committee charter. As a result, PTTEP’s risk management has been effectively implemented, successfully achieving the Company’s objectives and goals, and ensuring maximum benefits for PTTEP, its shareholders, and stakeholders.
