LUKOIL REPORTS PRELIMINARY OPERATING DATA
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS OF 2021
For the nine months of 2021 LUKOIL Group's average hydrocarbon
production excluding the West Qurna-2 project was 2,116 thousand
boe per day, which is 2.5% higher year-on-year, while in the third
quarter of 2021 hydrocarbon production increased by 3.2%
quarter-on-quarter. The production growth was attributable to the
dynamics of the external limitations on oil production due to the
OPEC+ agreement, as well as higher gas production volumes.

For the nine months of 2021 oil production excluding the West
Qurna-2 project remained unchanged year-on-year in average daily
terms and amounted to 58.3 million tonnes, while in the third
quarter of 2021 oil production increased by 1.6% quarter-on-quarter
in average daily terms and amounted to 20.0 million tonnes. Oil
production dynamics was driven by the OPEC+ agreement concluded in
April 2020, which led to limitations on oil production by the Group
in Russia and at certain international projects. Due to the
agreement, oil production by the Group in Russia was cut in May
2020 by approximately 310 thousand barrels per day, or by 19%, as
compared to the level of the first quarter of 2020, and has been
gradually recovering subsequently. As a result, in the third
quarter of 2021 oil production by the Group in Russia was
approximately 210 thousand barrels per day higher compared to May
2020 level.

Despite the external limitations on crude oil production
volumes, development of the priority projects continued. In
particular, in West Siberia total oil and gas condensate production
for the nine months of 2021 at the V. Vinogradov, Imilorskoye,
Sredne-Nazymskoye and Pyakyakhinskoye fields increased by 6.8%
year-on-year, to 3.3 million tonnes.
Implementation of drilling programs at the V. Filanovsky and Yu.
Korchagin fields in the Caspian Sea allowed to increase total oil
and gas condensate production for the nine months of 2021 by 0.6%
year-on-year, to 5.6 million tonnes. The V. Grayfer field
development continues: cable lines construction is complete, subsea
pipelines are being laid, shipyards are finishing construction of
topsides of the platforms.

For the nine months of 2021, gas production increased in average
daily terms by 13.6% year-on-year, to 23.5 billion cubic meters.
The growth was driven by recovery of gas production in Uzbekistan
after temporary decline in 2020 due to lower demand from China for
gas produced in Uzbekistan amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the third quarter of 2021, gas production increased in
average daily terms by 7.4% quarter-on-quarter and amounted to 7.7
billion cubic meters. The increase was mainly attributable to
completion of scheduled maintenance works at the projects in
Uzbekistan.

For the nine months of 2021 refinery throughput at LUKOIL
Group's refineries was 47.5 million tonnes, which is 4.4% higher
year-on-year. In the third quarter of 2021 refinery throughput was
17.3 million tonnes, which is 9.9% higher quarter-on-quarter. The
increase in refinery throughput volumes both in and outside Russia
was attributable to the recovery of refineries utilization rates
after scheduled maintenance works, as well as throughput
optimization at the refineries driven by the changes in macro
environment.
