The Company’s performance improved substantially in 9m 2012 compared to 9m 2011 due to increases in hydrocarbon production and refining volumes, and a higher share of sales through premium channels, together with higher crude and petroleum product prices.

Hydrocarbon production volumes for 9m 2012 increased 4.8% Y-o-Y to 326 mmboe (44.33 mmtoe) driven by increased development activity, the addition of Orenburg assets in the autumn of 2011, commercial production of gas from SeverEnergia fields, and our associated gas utilization program.
