Production of Oil and Gas → Main Operating Regions and Largest Fields →
Development of fields in the Northern Caspian and
international projects will also significantly increase gas
production in future. LUKOIL plans to increase the share
of gas in overall hydrocarbon production to 30% in the
medium term.
Main Operating Regions

RUSSIA
Total 198 km of exploration drilling was carried out in Russia
during 2013, 2D seismic exploration was 1,010 km and 3D
seismic was 5,792 km2. Spending on geological exploration
in Russia was $561 million.
Oil production in Russia during 2013 increased by 1.5%
and was 85.5 million tonnes, of which 85.1 million tonnes
were produced by LUKOIL subsidiaries. LUKOIL subsidiaries
and affiliates carried out hydrocarbon production at
512 fields in Russia during 2013.
Production drilling increased by 3.9% and reached
3,524 km. Oil production wells increased by 3.5% and
reached 30,598 wells, production wells in use reached
26,610. Number of new wells put into operation
in Russia reached 1,131.

Western Siberia
The first oil field in Western Siberia was discovered in 1960
and industrial production of oil began there in 1964. Western
Siberia is now the main oil production region in Russia. Most
fields in the region are super-large and located adjacent to
one another. These features, and presence of established
transport infrastructure, significantly reduce development
costs.
LUKOIL has been active in Western Siberia since the
Company’s foundation when three production companies
in Western Siberia were united in the state oil company
LangepasUrayKogalymneft.
Western Siberia is the Company’s main oil production region
(53.1% of LUKOIL Group production) and its main reserve
base (52.9% of LUKOIL proved oil reserves).
11 out of 17 Company’s biggest oil fields (with annual
production of 1 mln tonnes in 2013) are located in Western
Siberia. The largest of them is Vat-Yeganskoye field with
more than 1 bln barrels of proved oil reserves.
LUKOIL carries out 33.9% of its exploration drilling in Western
Siberia. Large volumes of geological exploration work in
the region are intended to replace reserves in development.
Although a large amount of exploration has already been
carried out in Western Siberia, current geological exploration
in the region is marked by high efficiency and good results.
The Company’s proved reserves of oil in Western Siberia
decreased by 2.5% since 2009 due to high levels of
exhaustion. Thus EOR methods are widely used in the region:
hydrofracturing, drilling of sidetracks and horizontal wells,
etc. Multi-level systems for field development monitoring
with use of high-tech geological models enable LUKOIL to
constantly optimize field development.

Geological exploration
Proved hydrocarbon reserves in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous
District – Yugra, according to SEC standards, increased by
1.0% and were 7.6 bln boe. On some fields we got sizable
oil influxes.
2 new fields were discovered on the territory of the region
in 2013 as well as 15 accumulations were discovered on
previously discovered fields. The main growth of recoverable
oil reserves was obtained on 17 fields.
Exploration drilling in the District totalled 73 km in 2013
and 20 wells were completed, of which 14 were productive.
Development well success ratio was 70%.
The Company shot 140 km of 2D seismic and 2.017 km
of 3D seismic. Most of the work was in peripheral areas
of large fields, and was aimed at detailing oil and gas
contours and identifying oil saturation in strata prior to
production drilling.

Povkhovskoye Field
In 2013 the Company continued oil production stabilization
in Western Siberia fields, which carry out 53% of total
production and maintaining optimal rates of drawdown
in conditions of natural field depletion in the District.
The Company succeeded to descreae oil production rates from
6% in 2009 to 2% in 2013 due to investment in improvement
of reservoir pressure maintenance and production drilling
which increased by 35% within the last 5 years. Besides,
we are working on the new project’s launch in the District,
a special attention is paid to Imilorskoye field and Vinogradov
field (tight gas reservoir).

Timan-Pechora
The Timan-Pechora oil & gas province has substantial
potential for production growth. LUKOIL plans to bring the
heavy oil reserves of Timan-Pechora (about 4.5% of the
Company’s total proved reserves) into production more
quickly by applying new technologies. Most of the Company’s
heavy oil reserves are located at the Yaregskoye and
Usinskoye fields.
Fields in the Bolshekhetskaya Depression are classified
as the Group promising projects. The Company has been
active in the region since its acquisition in 2001 of
Yamalneftegazdobycha.
Nakhodkinskoye is a key Company producing gas field, it was
brought into production in 2005. In prospect, LUKOIL plans
to bring into production several gas fields comparable with
Nakhodkinskoye in terms of size (Pyakyahinskoe in 2016,
Yuzhno-Messoyahskoe in 2018 and Khalmerpautinskoe in
2019).
LUKOIL became active in the region in 1999 with the
acquisition of a controlling stake in KomiTEK. In 2001 LUKOIL
bought controlling stakes in Arkhangelskgeoldobycha,
Kharyaganeft, Bitran, Baitek-Silur, and AmKomi. TimanPechora now represents 16.7% of Group oil reserves and
16.8% of oil production.
Nakhodkinskoye field provides the major part of natural
gas production by the Company in Russia (almost 96%).
The production of gas in 2013 was 8.3 bcm. Proved reserves
as of the end of 2013 were 2.3 tcf of gas. Gas from the field
is delivered along a 117-km pipeline to the Yamburgskaya
gas compression station, where it is fed into the Gazprom
transport system. Under an agreement between LUKOIL
and Gazprom, all of the gas produced at Nakhodkinskoye
was initially sold to Gazprom.
The southern part of Timan-Pechora (the Komi Republic) has
developed infrastructure and well-explored reserves, most
of which are already in production. By contrast, the northern
part (Nenets Autonomous District) has high reserve potential,
but needs major exploration and development investments
due to its under-developed infrastructure.
A new oil terminal was built near the village of Varandey
on the Barents Sea in 2000 in order to address the growth
of production and lack of developed infrastructure in the
region. The terminal can handle oil from Timan-Pechora all
the year round and supply it to export markets, notably the
US market. The annual capacity of the terminal was increased
to 12 mln tonnes of oil and it was put into operation in the
middle of 2008.
Work continues to prepare for development of other fields
in the Bolshekhetskaya Depression. LUKOIL began drilling
work at gas condensate deposits at the Pyakyakhinskoye field
in 2009. Two drilling rigs have been deployed at the field.
In July 2010 the first section of a gas turbine power station
was brought into operation, 10-kilowatt aerial transmission
cables were installed to carry power to two drilling pads,
and a well was drilled to provide gas for energy generation.
