Upstream

Hydrocarbon production amounted to 5.71 mmboed in Q2 2018 and remained flat QoQ.

Average daily liquids production reached 4.6 mmbpd in Q2 2018, demonstrating 0.8% growth both QoQ and YoY. Taking into account the arrangements on partial recovery of oil and condensate production under the OPEC+ Agreement, the Company was able to rapidly increase production up to the level prior to the limitations commencement (October 2016) already in the beginning of July, which indicates the correct strategic approach to production management. The Company has the technological capacity to increase the liquids production in Q3 by ~200 kbpd, which was already utilized in the amount of ~120 kbpd in June-July immediately after the 174-th OPEC countries conference and 4-th OPEC+ countries’ Ministers meeting decision announcement.

In order to develop its technological potential, the Company has started testing a casing drilling technology at the Vankor field, the technology rollout will reduce the wells construction cycle. At a number of the fields the Company has mastered and successfully utilized multilateral wells construction technology. Low permeability reservoirs oil recovery improvement technologies with multistage hydraulic fracturing in the horizontal wells are actively being developed, joint projects with leading domestic enterprises are being implemented to develop the production of high-tech well logging equipment aimed at formations exploration in complex geological and engineering conditions. The first domestically-based corporate software RN-GRID for hydrofracturing design and analysis was put into commercial operation. Its mathematical model allows for a more accurate description of cracks in formations and injected proppant location estimation. All these features favorably differentiate RN-GRID from its western commercial alternatives, most of which utilize more simplistic modelling approaches. RN-GRID is used in 100% of the hydraulic fracturing works conducted by the in-house service RN-GRP.

Q2 2018 development drilling increased by 11% QoQ and reached ~6 mln meters in H1 2018 with sustaining the in-house drilling share at 60%. In H1 2018 the number of new wells commissioning increased by 22% YoY up to 1.7 th. wells with horizontal wells share up to 41% and the number of new horizontal wells with multistage fracturing up by 66%.

RN-Yuganskneftegaz, the Company’s largest asset maintains the achieved record production level, sustaining it above 1.4 mmbpd via advanced drilling technologies application, increasing the horizontal wells share, implementing the modern wells stimulation methods and successful Tyumen suite development. The subsidiary’s production growth exceeded 8% YoY.

Horizontal wells drilling with a unique combined production casing column at RN-Yuganskneftegaz facilities allowed for substantial reduction in construction period. In June 2018, a 4.7 km depth horizontal well with the horizontal section length over 1.5 km was drilled in 13.4 days. This is a record indicator not only of the Company, but also of the entire Russian oil and gas industry. Besides being successfully implemented at the largest production asset of the Company, this technology also utilized at the rest of the production facilities of the Group. The effectiveness of the technological approach is verified by the record drilling performance and the eagerness of other companies to replicate similar solutions at their own facilities.

The current production growth is being achieved via both brownfields production recovery in Western and Eastern Siberia (Varyoganneftegaz, Purneftegaz, Nyaganneftegaz) and new assets development. The Company also continues actively developing new projects in accordance with the approved schedule.

The Company is developing further the Kondinskoye and the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye fields launched last year, their combined oil production reached 12 mmbbl in H1 2018. A reservoir-pressure maintenance program is being successfully implemented, large-tonnage hydraulic fracturing with coil tubing (CT) works were conducted in horizontal wells equipped with controllable frac ports at the Kondinskoye field. A comprehensive testing of 36 MW gas turbine electric power plant has been started with Kondaneft facilities transferring to in-house electricity generation. The works on the second stage facilities technological launch are being conducted at the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field with increasing development drilling.

An oil flow of 90 tpd (~670 bpd) was achieved in the first horizontal development well at the West Erginskoye field of the Erginsky cluster. The field development is carried out with the use of the Kondinskoye field infrastructure. The 50-kilometer oil pipeline under construction will connect the booster pump station of the West Erginskoye field with the Kondinsky central production facility.

In accordance with the plans, the commissioning works at a number of large fields are in progress. Development drilling is also ongoing at the Tagul field (19 wells drilled in H1 2018), and the construction of the field facilities is underway (oil treatment facility, well pads, oil pipelines, etc.).

At the Russkoye field with high-viscosity oil reserves, the construction works and preparations for the technological start-up of the Zapolyarnoye pipeline commissioning station and the pressure oil pipeline facilities are also in progress. As of the end of Q2 2018, 147 wells with over 9.5 ktpd of expected oil production were drilled at the field.

Within the second stage of the Srednebotuobinskoye field development the infrastructure facilities are being constructed, a drilling program for horizontal and multilateral wells is being implemented. The program of the pilot oil production from the Osinsky horizon with hard-to-recover reserves is underway. The oil production at the field achieved almost 9 mmbbl in H1 2018.

The construction works and the pre-commissioning of the oil gathering and treatment facilities (the central production facility and the oil gathering line from the right bank of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River) of the first start-up complex of the Kuyumba field are in progress, the development drilling is being intensified.

Q2 2018 gas production amounted to 16.45 bcm and decreased by 2.4% QoQ as a result of the seasonal factor and preventive equipment maintenance in Q2 2018. Associated petroleum gas (APG) utilization level in Q2 2018 was at 84.2%.

Active phase of the key infrastructure facilities construction is in progress at Rospan. Installation of the heater treater and the thermal insulation on the tanks completed at the gas and condensate treatment units of the East Urengoy license area. The processing equipment assembling is ongoing at the booster compressor station. Spherical tanks, LPG filling ports and racks are being installed at the Korotchaevo station railway terminal.

The implementation of the Egyptian offshore Zohr project where gas production started in December 2017 is successfully progressing. Six development wells have been commissioned at the field, raising the gas output to 31.5 mmcmpd (100% of the project, ~5.9 mmcmpd in the Company's share). H1 2018 gas production amounted to ~3.1 bcm (100% of the project, 561 mmcm in the Company's share). There are already 4 lines of the gas treatment facility (GTF) in operation (the last one was launched in the end of July 2018) in addition to the early production line which allows to increase the maximum capacity of the gas treatment up to 49.5 mmcmpd according to the design documentation (100% of the project). This capacity is to be achieved in near future after the commissioning of the second gas export pipeline running from the field to GTF. The Operator plans to launch the 5^th process train of GTF and new production wells in H2 2018.

In H1 2018, 4.8 th. km of onshore 2D seismic surveys and 6.6 sq. km of onshore 3D seismic surveys were acquired. 37 exploration wells were tested with a 81% success rate. 37 new deposits and 2 new fields were discovered with estimated 14 mmtoe of АВ1С1+B2С2 reserves in place.

The Company continues to actively and successfully implementing Rosneft-2022 strategy in exploration and production. Certain this year targets have been already achieved in H1 2018. For instance, the strategic goal to reach and maintain the share of horizontal wells at minimum level of 40% from total number of wells is being achieved. H1 2018 increase in wells under-stream period already amounted to 4.1%. During the same period, the increase in the output of well workover crews reached 4.8% as a result of ongoing implementation of the organizational and engineering measures to reduce the crews' downtime, without executing any additional projects with material investment requirements.

Based on successful development of the internal expertise the Company has optimized technical solutions and cost estimates of the capital construction projects for a total of 7 bn RUB in H1 2018.

As part of the digitalization efforts, full-scale operations of the Company’s data processing center have been started since July 2018. Based on the data processing center, in cooperation with one of global industry leaders, General Electric, industrial IT-platform GE Predix, digital integrated field simulator IRMA and platform for geological data processing GeoPAK have being developed.
