Note. The consolidated physical results of <strong>Gazprom</strong> Group’s exploration overseas include projects in which the Group’s subsidiaries acted as operators.<br />
In 2014, <strong>Gazprom</strong> Group spent RUB 5.4bn in overseas exploration projects.<br />
With E&P deemed unfeasible, the subsoil user resolved to waive its license for the Urumaco I<br />
block (Venezuela).<br />
The Group is also involved in a number of oil and gas projects at their production stage:<br />
— the total of 1,786.2 mmcm of gas and 366.4 thousand tonnes of condensate (5.8x and 6.2x<br />
the 2013 figures, respectively) were produced at the fields of the 05-2 and 05-3 blocks<br />
in Vietnam’s offshore in the South China Sea;<br />
— the total of 622.4 mmcm of gas and 4.4 thousand tonnes of condensate (158% and 210%<br />
of the 2013 volumes, respectively) were produced by the Wingate offshore project in the North<br />
Sea;<br />
— the total of 334 mmcm of gas (105% of the 2013 figure) were produced at the Shakhpakhty<br />
field in Uzbekistan.<br />
Under C96 and C97 Libyan oil concessions, Wintershall AG produced 0.4 mm tonnes<br />
of oil (against 2.4 mm tonnes of oil and 254 mmcm of gas in 2013). Production declined due<br />
to a force-majeure regime instituted by the company in August 2013.<br />
In the reporting year, <strong>Gazprom</strong> neft’s subsidiary NIS (Serbia) produced 1.2 mm tonnes<br />
of oil and gas condensate and 0.6 bcm of gas.<br />
Oil production began at the Badra field in Iraq. In 2014, the production volumes totalled<br />
309.5 thousand tonnes. Commercial shipments of oil started. Crude oil is delivered into Iraq’s<br />
pipelines and directed to the export terminal in Basra (Persian Gulf).<br />
At the Junin-6 project (Venezuela), 262 thousand tonnes of oil were produced in 2014. Basic<br />
engineering continued for an oil upgrader (oil quality system) to improve oil quality. In the Russian<br />
segment of the project, managed by OOO National Oil Consortium, OAO NK Rosneft Oil<br />
Company increased its shareholding up to 80%, while the share of OAO <strong>Gazprom</strong> neft remained<br />
the same at 20%.<br />
