The overall exploration expenses of PPL declined by 77% YoY, standing at PKR3.87billion owing to lower level of dry wells (Zarbab and Nashpa-5A) in the period.
The Other expenses of the company increased significantly by 48% YoY to PKR7.19billion due to exchange losses as Rupee appreciated furing the period. While Other income dropped by 31% YoY from PKR4.2billion to PKR2.9billion owing to a fall in income from loans and bank deposits.
