Development of the Northern Caspian fields is one of the priority focus areas in LUKOIL’s hydrocarbon production business for the coming decade. According to the available estimates, the total resources of the Russian Caspian sector make up 4.5 bln. TOE. In the reporting period LUKOIL began implementing its core project in the Caspian Sea – construction of facilities at V. Filanovsky field, Russia’s largest field discovered during the last 25 years. Due to its scope, this project may change the whole industrial pattern of the South of Russia, first of all that in the Astrakhan Oblast. This project will create orders for industrial facilities and new major taxpayers for the Oblast budget, while people will get jobs.

The Company has already placed some orders for construction of offshore facilities at V. Filanovsky field. The offshore platforms whose installation was planned for 2013–2014 are already being constructed at the Krasnye Barrikady shipyard in Astrakhan. OAO United Shipbuilding Corporation began construction of ice-resistant stationary platform No. 1 (IRP-1) designed for drilling and operation of wells, while OAO Globalstroy Engineering is already constructing the central processing platform for treatment and onshore transportation of oil and associated gas. The infrastructure development project for V. Filanovsky field includes more than 330 kilometers of subsea and 350 kilometers of onshore pipelines. Several contracts were signed with third parties for construction of subsea pipelines. The plan also includes construction of onshore oil intake facilities in the Republic of Kalmykia.

It is expected that oil production at V. Filanovsky field will start at the end of 2015 – beginning of 2016.

Three horizontal wells penetrating accumulations of Volgian and Neocomian stages with the footage of 12,150 m were drilled and commissioned at Yu. Korchagin field. In 2012, a world record was set at the field in terms of the footage drilled per hour of equipment operation.

In the Volgograd Oblast OAO RITEC discovered and began pilot operations at the Yuryevskoye field.

The Volgograd refinery continued large-scale upgrading, due to which by 2017 it is going to become the most state- of-the-art refinery in Southern Russia. A delayed coking unit was commissioned with the capacity of 1 mln. tn of feedstock per year. This enabled the refinery to decommission two technologically outdated units, and increase the annual oil coke production by 100 ths. tn, and production of motor fuel components by 150 ths. tn. A diesel fuel hydraulic treatment unit with the capacity of 3 million tons per year was launched. Due to operation of this unit all the diesel fuel produced by the Volgograd refinery will be Euro-5 compliant. Construction of a gas chemical facility (GCF) began at the industrial site of OOO Stavrolen. The facility is going to be Russia’s largest polymer production center. The associated gas from LUKOIL’s Caspian fields will be used as the main feedstock. Commissioning of the first GCF stage is scheduled for 2015, that of the second stage – for 2017.

In 2011, as part of obligations fulfillment under the Capacity Supply Agreement to the wholesale market, LUKOIL

commissioned a new 110 MW combined-cycle plant (CCP-110). It utilizes natural gas as its basic and reserve fuel. The electric efficiency coefficient of CCP-110 (51%) complies with world’s highest standards. The technology utilized at the plant enables a two-fold reduction in the specific fuel consumption required for power generation. The company began construction of two other CCPs with the total capacity of 235 MW as well. Their commissioning is scheduled for 2013. Construction of a new 410 MW CCP has been completed at the Krasnodar cogeneration plant. The unit can cover up to 10-15% of the region’s demand for electricity. This improves power supply reliability in the Krasnodar Krai, which is a matter of special urgency with the Olympics in Sochi coming up soon.

SOCIAL And ECOnOMIC PArtnErSHIP AGrEEMEntS In the reporting period LUKOIL had agreements with the authorities of four regions of Southern Russia – Volgograd and Astrakhan Oblasts, Krasnodar and Stavropol Krais.

Project financing agreements to construct kindergartens in Astrakhan (245 beds) and Volgograd Oblasts (in Kotov for 100 beds and Nikolaevsk for 80 beds) were signed with the regional authorities. Construction of a kindergarten in Astrakhan

is already under way. In addition, within the framework of the existing agreements OAO RITEK supports the landscaping activities in Volgograd and the cities of the Volgograd Oblast. In particular, the enterprise has financed the capital repair of Kolobok, the only kindergarten at Vetyuneevo farmstead of the Frolovo disctrict, the Volgograd Oblast.

Besides, the enterprise provides assistance with landscaping activities in Volgograd and Kotovo, as well as with settlement of socially important issues in the Kotovo district.
