LUKOIL REPORTS PRELIMINARY OPERATING DATA
FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND TWELVE MONTHS OF 2021
In 2021 LUKOIL Group's hydrocarbon production excluding the West
Qurna-2 project was 2,161 thousand boe per day, which is 4.7%
higher year-on-year, while in the fourth quarter of 2021
hydrocarbon production increased by 7.6% 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.

In 2021 oil production excluding the West Qurna-2 project was
79.3 million tonnes, which is 3.0% higher year-on-year in average
daily terms, while in the fourth quarter of 2021 oil production
increased by 5.3% quarter-on-quarter and amounted to 21.1 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 fourth
quarter of 2021 oil production by the Group in Russia was
approximately 270 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
in 2021 at the V. Vinogradov, Imilorskoye, Sredne-Nazymskoye and
Pyakyakhinskoye fields increased by 8.1% year-on-year, to 4.5
million tonnes.

In 2021, gas production increased in average daily terms by
11.2% year-on-year to 32.2 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 fourth quarter of 2021, gas production increased by 12.7%
quarter-on-quarter and amounted to 8.6 billion cubic meters. The
increase was mainly attributable to seasonal growth of demand for
gas, as well as higher associated petroleum gas production
following an increase in oil production.

In 2021, refinery throughput at LUKOIL Group's refineries was
63.0 million tonnes, which is 7.4% higher year-on-year. The
increase in refinery throughput volumes both in and outside Russia
was attributable to higher refineries utilization rates due to
better market environment in 2021, as well as scheduled maintenance
works in 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2021 refinery throughput
was 15.5 million tonnes, which is 10.5% lower quarter-on-quarter
due to scheduled maintenance works at the refineries outside
Russia, as well as seasonal throughput optimization in Russia.
