Bonifacio Global City, Taguig (27 August 2021) – PNOC Exploration Corporation, the upstream oil, gas, and coal exploration and development arm of the National Government, successfully held their Annual Stockholders Meeting via online facility at the Company Headquarters in the Bonifacio Global City.

This marked the second consecutive year that a virtual Annual Stockholders Meeting was held by the Company, to ensure a safe, effective and productive meeting environment with the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, and the new variants of the virus that have been identified by health authorities. Energy Secretary Alfonso G Cusi, Chairman of the PNOC EC Board of Directors, presided over the meeting.

PNOC EC reported revenues of PhP3.40 billion according to its 2020 Operational and Financial Highlights, presented during the meeting. Service Contract 38 (SC 38) continued to be the flagship project for the Company, with natural gas deliveries at 135 billion cubic feet (BCF), while condensate liftings totaled 3.32 million barrels.

Dividends declared in April and December of 2020 amounted to PhP3.01 Billion, a 329% increase as compared to PhP700.70 Million in 2019.  This is in response to the National Government’s efforts to fight the effects of the pandemic thru Bayanihan 1 and Bayanihan 2 Acts.
