3 Effects of low crude prices and tax maneuver on crude oil production

4 In 215, crude oil and gas condensate production in Russia will reach approximately 534 MMT (1.7 BPD) million BPD Crude oil and gas condensate Production in Russia in Oil including gas condensate Oil without gas condensate million BPD Crude oil production, including gas condensate, in Russia in (by region) Other Sakhalin East Siberia (with Vankor) Timano-Pechora Ural-Volga Region West Siberia The actual production growth in 9 months of 215 vs. last year 1.4%, including: gas condensate 26%, crude oil.1%. The core production growth regions are below: East Siberia (+6.4%), Sakhalin (+14.2%) Timan-Pechora (+7.4%) Regions that mostly receive oil for refining are noted to either cut down production (West Siberia, -.2%), or experience a relatively weak growth (Urals-Volga, +.9%) months months 215 A 4

It was assumed when the tax maneuver was introduced that it would reduce tax burden for oil producers, rather than making it heavier. However, this assumption was made for Urals price of about $1/bbl. Analysis has been performed for the crude oil produced in West Siberia and exported via Primorsk port. Annual averages in 214. Urals price $97.3/bbl USD exchange rate 38.5 RUR Averages for 8 months of 215. Urals price - $57/bbl USD exchange rate 58 RUR A 5

6 Low crude oil prices erode prospects for developing new fields From the presentation to the report by RF Energy Minister Alexander Novak 6th OPEC Seminar, Vienna, June 215. Production in Russia will be stable and diversified even in the turbulent environment of the world oil market Oil production structure BPD by types of resources Shelf Hard-to-recover reserves New fields by regions East Siberia and Russian Far East West Siberia The drop of production margin "in terms of dollars" affects the prospects for developing new fields (especially with hard to recover reserves and offshore fields). Technologies and services need to be imported for complex projects. Foreign investors and currency loans can only be attracted if projects are efficient in currency terms. Producing fields European part of Russia RUSSIA AIMS AT RETAINING THE CURRENT PRODUCTION LEVEL IN THE LONG TERM DECREASED PRODUCTION AT EXISTING FIELDS WILL BE SET OFF BY GROWING PRODUCTION IN EAST SIBERIA AND PROGRESSING PRODUCTION OF HARD-TO-RECOVER RESERVES, AND AFTER 22 - FAST-GROWING PRODUCTION ON CONTINENTAL SHELF DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTION HELPS RUSSIA BE FLEXIBLE IN THE TIMING OF PRODUCTION OF THE MOST CAPITAL-INTENSIVE AND SOPHISTICATED DEVELOPENT PROJECTS, REDUCING ITS DEPENDENCE ON THE MARKET CONDITIONS A 6

7 Effects of low crude prices and tax maneuver on refining

8 Russia's refining industry lost incentives for unrestrained growth Refining in Russia and Russian crude export beyond CIS in million BPD Refining Export to West Export Export to East For ten years since August 24, high margin was stimulating refining volume growth (except during the 29 crisis), but it was also eroding incentives for refinery upgrades and development. During this time, crude distillation capacities were being built up. At the beginning of 215, total refining capacity in Russia was about 6.3 million BPD, capacity utilization reached 92%. In 214, crude oil refining volume in Russia reached a record high, 5.82 million BPD. Refining growth past 21 outpaced production growth, so it could only be possible by exporting crude oil. This trend was broken in 215 when refining volumes reduced and export grew months 215 B 8

USD/bbl Evaluation of tax maneuver effect on Afipsky Refinery gross margin with average prices and USD exchange rate in 214 and months In 215, the tax maneuver "eats away" 28% gross margin of a "near-shore" export-oriented simple refinery. In , if crude oil prices do not fall below the 215 level, the "near-shore" refinery has some hope to survive. The analysis has been performed with the following assumptions: Annual averages in 214. Urals price - $97.3/bbl USD exchange rate RUR Averages for 8 months of 215. Urals price $57/bbl USD exchange rate 58 RUR Gross margin 214 Gross margin 8 months 215 EP 215 EP 216 EP 217 B 9

In 215 margin will practically drop to zero, in 217 such refinery will yield losses even if prices come back to the 214 level. In reality, simple "continental" refineries can only survive by using different sorts of "loopholes" the domestic market can provide. The resource of using such tricks is not endless. Eventually, "loopholes" will be stopped and the only alternative to closure for a simple "continental" refinery, when export duty subsidies are reduced, is a radical upgrade.

13 Motor fuel demand and supply

14 Economic decline results in shrinking motor fuel demand Motor gasoline demand forecast (July 215) Russia Diesel fuel demand forecast* (July 215) Russia MMT Base-case scenario Worst-case scenario 37.4 MMT Base-case scenario Worst-case scenario * Total fuel demand for all civil land vehicles with diesel engines The base-case scenario assumes GDP drop in 215, followed by a growth from 216. The worst-case scenario assumes a deeper economic decline in 215, followed by continuing recession in 216 with resumed economic growth in The actual GDP trends are still close to the worst-case scenario, while other macroeconomic parameters driving the demand seem to belong to the base-case scenario C 14
