Segment Reporting
Business segments are based on the Group's internal organisation and management reporting structure. The Group's operations cover 4 segments-Crude Oil, Gas, Refinery & Investment Properties. Some intersegement transactions were prevalent amongst the reporting segments during the reporting period under consideration, hence the eliminations necessary to achieve proper consolidation. Management remains commited to continuous value creation and accretion of the reserves. The reporting segments of the Group derive their revenues within and outside Nigeria & goods are transferred at a point in time. The segment reports are also in line with the Group's accounting policies.
