PNOC-EC data showed that the company would need P1.3 billion for 2007. Of this amount, the bulk would go to petroleum exploration, or P657 million; P485 million would be used for its investment in coal exploration and development; and P168 million for petroleum downstream.


PNOC-EC is expecting to post an earnings of P2 billion this year, a drop from P2.6 billion in 2006.
