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 />
