Pre-licensecostsarerecognizedintheconsolidatedstatementsoflossandcomprehensivelossasincurred.

E&E costs, including the costs of acquiring licenses, obtaining geological and geophysical data, drilling andcompletingE&Ewells, andbuildingassociated facilities are initially capitalizedasE&Eassets according to thenature of the expenditure. E&E assets may include estimated decommissioning costs associated with E&Edecommissioning obligations. The costs are accumulated by well, field or exploration area pendingdeterminationoftechnicalfeasibilityandcommercialviability.E&Eassetsarenotamortized.

The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a hydrocarbon resource are considered to bedeterminable when proved and/or probable reserves are determined to exist. A review of each explorationlicenseorfieldiscarriedout,atleastannually,toascertainwhetherprovedand/orprobablereserveshavebeendiscovered.Upondeterminationofprovedand/orprobablereserves,E&Eassetsattributabletothosereservesare tested for impairment and if estimated recoverable amounts exceed carrying values the E&E assets, aretransferred to petroleum and natural gas properties, within property and equipment assets. The cost ofundeveloped land that expires and E&E expenditures determined to be unsuccessful are derecognized byrecordingexplorationandevaluationexpense.

(f) FinancialInstruments

(i) RecognitionandMeasurement

PPRrecognizesfinancialassetsandfinancial liabilities, includingderivatives,ontheconsolidatedstatementsoffinancial position when the Company becomes a party to the contract. The Company initially measures allfinancial instruments at fair value. Subsequent measurement of the financial instrument is based on itsclassification.Financialassetsandfinancialliabilitiesareclassifiedintothefollowingcategories:amortizedcost,fairvaluethroughothercomprehensiveincome(“FVOCI”)andfairvaluethroughprofitandloss(“FVPL”).

Financial assets and financial liabilities classifiedas FVPLaremeasuredat fair valuewith subsequent changesrecognizedthroughnetincome(loss).Financialassetsandliabilitiesclassifiedasamortizedcostaremeasuredatamortizedcostusing theeffective interestmethodofamortization.Under theeffective interest ratemethod,anytransactionfees,costs,discountsandpremiumsdirectlyrelatedtothefinancialinstrumentsarerecognizedincomprehensivelossovertheexpectedlifeoftheinstrument.FinancialassetsclassifiedasFVOCIaremeasuredatfairvalueswithchangesinthosefairvaluesrecognizedinothercomprehensiveloss.

(v) Impairment

TheCompanyrecognizesallowancesforlossesonitsfinancialassetsmeasuredatamortizedcostsbasedonthelifetimeexpectedcreditlossesanticipatedtooccurfromallexpecteddefaultsoverthelifeoffinancialasset.Tocalculate the expected credit loss, PPR applies the simplified approach applying a provision matrix wherebyfinancial assets are grouped into categories based on counterparty characteristics and aging categories. TheCompany considers past experience and forward-looking information if such information is reasonable andsupportable,availablewithoutunduecostsandeffort,andcanhaveasignificantimpactonthelossestimate.

(ii) LiquidityRisk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty inmeeting obligations associated with financialliabilities. The Company addresses its liquidity risk through its capital management of cash, working capital, creditfacility capacity, equity issuance along with its planned capital expenditure program. As outlined in Note 9, atDecember31,2020,theCompanyhadUS$11.2millionborrowingcapacityundertheRevolvingFacility.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, PPR renewed its credit facilitieswith its lender. The renewal included terms toreducecashinterestcostandextendthematuritydatesofborrowings. Overall,theamendments increasedliquidityandthefinancialflexibilityoftheCompany.

PPR anticipates its future development to be fundedprimarilywith cash flows fromoperations. The Company hasdeterminedthatitscurrentfinancialobligations,includingcurrentcommitments(Note23),willbeadequatelyfundedfrom the available borrowing capacity, cash flows from operating activities and working capital derived fromoperations.Exceptforthelong-termportionofderivativefinancial instruments,long-termleaseliabilities, long-termotherliabilitiesandlong-termdebt,alloftheCompany’sfinancialliabilitiesareduewithinoneyear.
