This final column of this mini-series examining the financial statements of the three Contractors under the 2016 Petroleum Agreement, reviews their balance sheets, sometimes referred to as statement of affairs, as at December 31, 2020. The Table below is designed in a similar fashion as the summary income statement presented in Column 91. The comments on that Table applies to the Balance Sheet summary as well and readers might therefore wish to go back to that Column for a better understanding of this column.
The total value of assets is $1,891 billion (approximately US$9.1 billion), of which $82.9 billion constitutes current assets, while non-current assets account for $1,808.6 billion, (approximately US$8,612 billion). The total “Equity participation” by the oil companies in the Stabroek Block is $1,128 billion (US$5.4 billion). Put simply, 60% of the assets of the three companies is financed directly by the entities. However, given the nature of branch accounts, this sum can be withdrawn at any time.
