Summarizing the results of the operational activity of OJSCÂ Severneftegazprom in 2012, I would like to point out that we have achieved high production and financial indicators! The last year proved again that industrial and technical potential, elabo-rated forms and methods of corporate management guarantee the steady development of the Company and the achievement of strategic goals and objectives. Despite the fact that only five years have passed since the start of the development of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field, the total volume of gas produced by the end of 2012 amounted approximately to 116 billion cubic meters. Nowadays OJSC Severneftegazprom is the fifth in production level of Gazprom Group and also one of good examples of international cooperation in oil and gas industry. The start of the Turonian production highlights the status of the Company as a technological leader in solving a problem of developing hard-to-recover gas deposits. The gained experience in the sphere is the basis of further development of the Company and reflects the global progressive tendencies in effective gas supply. Nowadays OJSC Severneftegazprom plans to expand its production activity in developing the Cenomanian and Turonian gas deposits of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field,

Exploration The 2012 geological exploration in the YuzhnoRusskoye license area was carried out in accordance with the adjusted geological exploration assignment, as approved by V.A. Markelov, JSC Gazprom Management Board Deputy Chairman on August 21st, 2012. These works were carried out in three main directions: • topical and R&D; • seismic survey; • environmental activities and mitigation of adverse conditions of construction. No exploration wells were constructed in 2012, and no cased hole tests were performed. In 2012, the field stage of the comprehensive seismic exploration works on the basis of 3D common depth point method, with increased density, for 420 km2 of the Turonian-Cenomanian sediments was completed. The comprehensive processing and interpretation of the seismic survey results has started. The environmental activities and mitigation of adverse conditions of construction were performed; eight obsolete geologi-

cal exploration wells from the old well stock (No. 1, 4, 10, 12, 14, 29, 30 and 107) were abandoned. Work was completed on the design of the Additional Exploration Project of the Yuzhno-Russkoye license area (continued from 2011). The Project was reviewed and approved by the Protocol No. 11-z/2012 of April 20, 2011 of the JSC Gazprom Gas Industry Commission for Field Development and Subsoil Use; it also received the positive expert opinion of the WestSiberian Branch of the State Commission for Mineral Reserves, No. 020.12-ZS of March 28, 2012. Within the framework of the adjusted 2012 geological assignment (approved on August 21, 2012), development of the Group Work Project began for the construction of Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field wells No. 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55. The comprehensive engineering surveys for drilling sites and access roads were performed; the assignment for project development was developed and approved; the land allocation surveying and cadastral works are under way. The continuation of the project work is envisioned by the 2013 Geological Assignment of December 18, 2012. In 2012, prospecting and appraisal wells No. 40 and 41 and exploration well No. 113 were reentered and transferred to observation well stock.

Company.

The actual expenditure of the Company, budgeted under current activity for 2012, amounted to 25,890 million RUB, which is lower by 460 million RUB or 2% lower than budget indicator. The indicated saving is mainly caused by: • Reduction of actual expenditure under the budget clause “Interests and one-off payments due on loans”, caused by early partial redemption of debt in 2012, a decrease of actual inter-bank rates, and also appreciation of the national currency; • Optimization of the operational process and implementation of retrenchment programme, carried out by the

The 1% growth of MET payments against a planned indicator is caused by an increase in the volume of actual gas production. The reduction of capital expenditure by 19% in comparison with budget indicator is due to the refinement of design and engineering arrangements, resulting in adjustments of progress schedule. All ratios under the Annual work programme and Budget for 2012 were fully executed. Deviations of the actual indicators against budget are within the limits of permissible value.

Balance of other income and expenses

The following factors influenced the indicators in the 2012 Statement of financial results and accordingly the amount of net profits over the accounting period, in comparison with the previous year: • gas sales revenue increased by 7,923 million RUB or by 30% in comparison with the previous year and amounted to 33,962 million RUB. The growth in gas sales revenue is due to an increase in the gas sales price by 32% as compared to the previous year. The calculation of gas sales price is done according to the gas price formula, fixed by the Shareholders’ Agreement and gas supply agreements; • the cost of gas sold increased by 7,868 million RUB or by 52% as compared to the previous year and amounted to 23,086 million RUB. The increase in expenditure

40

is mainly due to an increase in the mineral extraction tax as the rate has more than doubled (237 rubles in 2011, 509 rubles in 2012); • the balance of other incomes and expenses over 2012 resulted in the positive value of 1,172 million RUB. Positive balance increase of other incomes and expenses of 2,234 million RUB, in comparison with the previous accounting period, is caused by the essential increase of exchange gains from re-evaluation of the Company’s liabilities in foreign currency, as well as reduction over 2012 of one-off payments within project facility agreement obligations; • current profit tax increased by 557 million RUB due to the increase of the tax base caused by gas sales revenue growth and growth of non-operating income


ANNUAL REPORT • 2012

(exchange differences), as compared to the previous year; • a significant growth factor in the Company’s net profit for the accounting period was the right to use the profit tax benefit in accordance with the Law of YNAA No. 146-ZAO, dated 24th of December, 2012 “Concerning the introduction of amendments to the Law of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area “About the list of companies implementing the priority investment projects within the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area”. Since 2013 and for the next five years the Company has the right to apply the reduced profit tax rate of 15,5% (instead of the common rate of 20%). In conjunction with the applicable tax benefit, the Company restated the deferred tax assets and liabilities in 2012, resulting in an increase in the net profit of the Company for 2012 to the value of 935 million RUB.

As a result, the Company’s net profit for 2012 increased by 3,038 million RUB or 51% as compared to the previous year, and amounted to 8,978 million RUB

• Net cash from current operations increased by 8% up to 14,851 million RUB. The increase of net cash from current operations is caused by a growth in gas sales revenue, and also by a decline in profit tax payments due to intake within the accounting period of advance made payments. • Reduction in net cash from investment activity is caused by movements of deposit accounts with more than 3 months maturity. In December 2011, the amounts placed in deposits with maturity exceeding 3 months were received back (reflected in the line Proceeds from investment activities) and were allocated to pay dividends to the Company’s shareholders. As of Decem-

ber 31, 2012, the funds standing to the credit of debt service reserve accounts were placed in fixed term deposits with maturity exceeding 3 months in an overseas bank account in accordance with provisions of project facility agreement. • Net cash used in financial operation decreased by 33% as compared to the previous year and equaled to 9,402 million RUB. This change is mainly caused by a reduction in dividend payments (1,711 million RUB in 2012; 12,329 million RUB in 2011, with the deduction of profit tax). The total amount of credit redemption within accounting period amounted to 7,691 million RUB.

Well No. 184 In 2010, OJSC Severneftegazprom began implementing a pilot project to construct the first experimental bilateral production well No. 174 for the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field’s Turonian deposits. In December 2011, the Turonian gas came to the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia. The analysis of well No. 174 operation in 2012 supported the chosen solutions: the well had a large enough horizontal tailing-in (300 m) for productive horizons, which enabled a daily production rate of about 200,000 m3 and about 56 mln m3 of gas production in 2012. It should be noted that the Western Siberia has practically no experience in developing the Turonian deposits, hence the necessity of the pilot works to select the most promising well construction and operation techniques. In 2012, within the framework of the “Yuzhno-Russkoye Field’s Turonian Gas Deposits Reservoir Development Chart”, the OJSC Severneftegazprom Directorate for field geology, development, and licensing and LLC TiumenNIIgiprogaz specialists analysed the various designs of wells for different penetrations of the Turonian sub-layers. The analysis has shown that increasing the wellbore penetration by seam up to 500 m and more will yield a significant increase of the single bottom well. The uprise wellbore wells have the best productivity due to the longer bore and the best among the analysed profiles fluid carryover.

The Company’s gas production principle: applying innovative solutions and state-of-the-art techniques and technologies of field development and exploitation, improving exploration work and efficiency of gas production

To substantiate the new technologies, and clarify the deposit properties, the decision was made to arrange in the vicinity of the cluster No.18 a single bore ascending wellbore well with 800m penetration. The construction of uprise profile Well No. 184 will allow to: • optimise the wells’ design and the earlier solutions for the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field’s Turonian deposit development; • optimise the expenses and improve the cost efficiency for the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field’s Turonian deposit development.

Taking into account that the production processes of the Company have a potentially negative social and environmental impact1, OJSC Severneftegazprom, according to Convention 138 of the International Labor Organization, “On the minimum age for employment” of 1973 and the Russian Labor Law, does not hire workers under 18 years of age to work at industrial sites. The Company continues to evaluate the basic needs and problems of workers and strives to provide them with a comfortable and safe work environment, as well as with adequate wages. During the accounting year, the Company successfully implemented a comprehensive programme of human resource management for the period of 2011–2015, aimed at improving the organization of work, the system of staff motivation, corporate communications, as well as staff training and development. In 2012, as part of the programme and in accordance with the current law to carry out a plan for the certification of workplaces’ working conditions, 178 management workplaces in the office and in the new workplaces created in the YuzhnoRusskoye oil and gas condensate field, were certified. During the period from 2009 to 2012, a total of 622 workplaces were certified for having appropriate working conditions. Additionally, as part of increasing staff motivation in 2012, provisions for professional skills contests “The Best in the Profession”, “The Best Department”, “For implementation and invention,” including cash awards for winners, were developed. To encourage staff to participate in the professional skills contests, a system of incentive wage supplements was developed, for winners as well as for all competition participants. 1 A conclusion of Environmental Resource Management, an independent environmental consultant, prepared in accordance with the Equator Principles and Standards of the International Finance Corporation.

The Collective Agreement is the main instrument for ensuring an attractive level of benefits and compensation for all employees and retirees of the Company, in line with the Labor Law of the Russian Federation. In order to improve the provisions of the Collective Agreement, discussions were held in 2012 regarding proposals made by the Company’s employees, as part of the Commission on the regulation of social and labor relations, and staff meetings. The new version of the document, for 2013 to 2015, was registered with the Labor and Social Security Administration of the Krasnoselkup District Municipality, and reflects the agreement reached between the Company’s management and the employees’ representatives. With continuous monitoring of the Collective Agreement conditions, all the employer’s obligations to provide social benefits, guarantees and compensation to employees and pensioners were carried out in 2012, in full in accordance with the financial plan. In addition, OJSC Severneftegazprom has a Commission for the regulation of social and labor relations. The Commission provides the Company’s employees with the opportunity to influence the decisions made by management in the area of labor and social and economic relations. The Commission is formed on an equal basis from the duly authorized representatives of the employer and employees. Creating a management talent pool is the one of the strategic initiatives of the Company’s HR Department. A quality talent pool allows the minimization of staffing risks and simultaneously improves employee motivation. The Company is interested in the personal and professional development of its employees. A training programme

The total volume of air emissions from production sources in 2012 amounted to 2,054.914 tonnes, 31.275 tonnes more than in 2011. The increase in the total mass of emissions is associated with the booster compressor station operating at its full capacity. Permitted emission of pollutants into the atmosphere in 2012 was 3,131.737 tonnes at the operational facilities, 355.531 tonnes at the drilling facilities, and 5.436 tonnes from the settlement of Urengoy. Methane, the major component of the emissions, is formed during venting and emptying of the plant process equipment for integrated gas treatment and gas gathering collectors for the purpose of conducting regular preventive work, as well as the continuously operating flares at the pumping units of the booster compressor station. Significant amounts of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are formed during the combustion of gas on gas stoves while well testing, as well as during gas burning for Company’s own needs (power generation, gas compression). The specific mass of pollutants released into the atmosphere was 0.081 tonnes/mln m3 of gas produced. Out of the total mass of pollutant emissions into the air, emissions from the processes equaled 988.611 tonnes, from the burning of fuel to generate electricity and thermal energy – 267.202 tonnes. Regular checks for toxicity of vehicles exhaust gases are carried out in the mechanical repair workshop of the gas field. In 2012, the Company carried out a number of activities to reduce emissions. In particular, work continued on the reduction of gas flaring at the treatment facility through the use of separated gas as fuel for TEG regeneration. At present, the work on the design and construction documents is completed. Measures were taken to reduce energy consumption during field facilities by replacing incandescent lamps and sodium vapor lamps with energy-saving LED spotlights and lamps, 2,669 pieces in total. In 2012, neither accidents nor essential and nonessential spills occurred at the hazardous production facilities. Accidental emissions and discharges of pollutants into the environment did not occur. No accidents occurred during the reported period in the contracting companies carrying out work for OJSC Severneftegazprom. During the reporting year, total greenhouse gas emissions (the calculation is based on the STO Gazprom 102-2011 “Inventory of greenhouse gas emissions”) made up 167,815 tonnes of CO2-equivalent, 557 tonnes of which were indirect emissions, according to the method of EPMS calculation of The Company Wintershall Holding GmbH. The growth of the indirect emissions is due to changes in the applicable conversion factor for CO2 when receiving electricity from the public grid (old is 0.317, new is 0.639).

As for the ozone-depleting substances included in Appendices A, B, C and E of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, there were no emissions in 2012. Freon (R404A), which is used in air conditioning and refrigeration (for food storage), has zero ozone depletion potential. At present in Russia there are no planned restrictions on the use of the R404A type Freon up to 2020, which corresponds to the Montreal Protocol requirements. The Company is extracting water from an underground aquifer, with no removal of water from the surface water reservoirs. Water is supplied on the basis of the required permits. Total volume of extracted water in 2012 was 74,202 m3, including: • 67,014 m3 from the underground aquifer (56,440 m3 in 2011, 60,490 m3 in 2010); • 7,188 m3 – stratum water extracted simultaneously with natural gas (8,160 m3 in 2011). Extraction of fresh water from aquifers was only 37.3% of the established limit of 199,180 m3 (28.4% in 2011, 30.4% in 2010). Extracted water has been treated in the Company’s own water treatment plants in accordance with sanitary standards. The increase in water consumption in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the construction and commissioning of a Health Complex. An on-site wastewater disposal system operates at the gas field, allowing industrial and domestic wastewater to be injected back into the aquifers after they have been cleaned at special facilities.

7 The strategic priorities of OJSC Severneftegazprom are also important for the territory on which the Company operates. Gas production plays the leading role in the economy of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area. The Company is actively interacting with the federal and municipal authorities to implement environmental, social and cultural projects aimed at improving the quality of life and social welfare. To support economic development in the areas of operation, the Company sticks to the obligations of the license agreement and its own policy of competitive procedures, and, all other things being equal, gives preference to Russian companies, especially local suppliers, who are registered in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area. Interaction with the regions is regulated on the basis of the General Agreements on cooperation concluded between the

Company and the Administration of the Pur and Krasnoselkup Districts and the town of Novy Urengoy, as well as additional annual agreements. The General Agreements on social-economic cooperation with the administration of Novy Urengoy was concluded in 2012 for the first time. The priorities of the General Agreements are activities such as: • the rational and effective use of the subsoil and lands located in the regions, where the Company carries out its economic activities; • creating conditions for successful interaction, aimed at the social and economic development of the municipality population; • respect for the opinion of the interested party;

• timely notification of interested parties; • regular interaction; • preserving the natural environment and ensuring environmental safety. Within the framework of these agreements, OJSC Severneftegazprom implements activities aimed at the social and economic development of these territories, including helping to sustain the cultural traditions of local minorities, providing charitable assistance to fishermen and reindeer herders, providing funding for the development of national settlements, procuring vehicles, fuel, lubricants and equipment, supporting traditional sectors of agriculture, providing funding to the association of indigenous people of the Far North “Yamal – for the future generations!” to carry out statutory activities. Sustainable development of the Company is inextricably linked with maintaining the long-term partnership with opera-

tions areas and interacting with interested parties through the implementation of mutual projects in accordance with the principle of the observance of the common obligations undertaken and the requirement to observe them by the interested parties. In order to determine key interested parties and social integration links, which can influence, or on the contrary, can be influenced in the process of implementing production activities, and to define channels of interaction with such people and organisations, the Company has developed an internal document – the Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan (PCDP). The document describes the procedures of information disclosure in accordance with the requirements of the Russian Law and international standards, of carrying out Company consultations with interested parties, as well as describing the mechanism for recording the responses and opinions of the population and Company employees on a regular basis during the entire life cycle of the project.

Key Risks Associated with the Company’s Business


ANNUAL REPORT • 2012

Operational risks The risk of reduction in sales

The Company is exposed to operational risks when conducting its business, the most important being prices for raw hydrocarbons and technological risks associated with the particulars of the production process. Moreover, general operational risks include transport restrictions of a technological nature, which may become a serious obstacle to achieve the long-term objectives of the Energy Strategy of Russia. Search and development of deposits, transportation and processing of gas and liquid hydrocarbons represents a complicated and capital-intensive process bearing technological and ecological risks. The company strictly observes industry requirements and standards, and implements new technologies and equipment at all stages of the production process, thus minimising these risks.

The risk of reduction in sales is associated with the possibility of a long-term decline in the demand for hydrocarbons, which may adversely affect project indicators. However, according to long-term gas supply contracts, the purchaser pays for the entire volume of contracted gas notwithstanding the actual intake, which excludes the considered risk for the Company until expiration of such contracts.

Key Risks Associated with the Company’s Business

8

The risk of significant change in the market price for gas A significant decrease in the market price for gas may affect the cash flows required for stable production and business operations of the Company. The risk is considered low since, according to gas supply contracts, the price of gas is determined according to the formulae taking into account the Company’s expenses and the required rate of return.

Risks associated with validity of licences The Company undertakes activities in relation to the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field pursuant to the licences for the use of subsoil and other licensed activities. Applicable laws of the Russian Federation and/or licenses provide for possible limitation, suspension or early termination of the right to use the subsoil/exercise a licensed activity in the case of non-observance of conditions of licence agreements or violation of the requirements of applicable Russian laws in the area of licensing. The Company has completely fulfilled the requirements of licence agreements and has taken all the necessary steps to observe the applicable laws governing licensing, in order to minimise this risk.

Environmental Risks The Company’s activities, associated with the development of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field, are potentially exposed to the risk of environmental impact. Therefore, one of the priority directions of the Company’s efforts is environmental protection. Key project solutions applied in the course of constructing infrastructural and operational facilities at the deposit comply with Russian environmental standards.

74

Technological Risks The Company’s production activities, associated with the operation of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field, may be exposed to the impact of negative factors associated with failure of equipment. Meanwhile, technologies used for mining, treatment and transportation of gas comply with upto-date requirements for reliability and safety in operation of the equipment, which enables minimisation of such risks. In addition, the Company conducts training and certification of staff in the area of occupational health, industrial, fire and well-kill safety, based on the course “Well Control. Control of Wells at Oil, Gas and Water Show”, which also reduces the above risks. For the purpose of resolving the primary objectives associated with planning of efforts for prevention and liquidation of extraordinary situations for hazardous production facilities at the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field, the following documents were prepared: the Plan for the Liquidation of Possible Accidents, the Plan for the Prevention and Liquidation of Oil Spills at the Site of Technological Capacities of Reagents and Oils at the gas treatment unit of the YuzhnoRusskoye oil and gas condensate field of OJSC Severneftegazprom, the Plan for the Prevention and Liquidation of Oil Spills at Fuelling Stations (stations for the fuelling of motor transport) of OJSC Severneftegazprom, and the Technological regulations “On the operation of the gas treatment unit of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field 05.125-TP” with Amendments No.1 and No.2. Pursuant to the above plans, emergency response drills are carried out to train staff on how to respond in an emergency. In addition, in order to minimise and avoid emergency situations, a contract was concluded with LLC “Gazprom Gazobezopasnost” to ensure well-kill safety on the YuzhnoRusskoye oil and gas condensate field wells, and with LLC “Gazprom Transgaz Surgut” for operating the YuzhnoRusskoye oil and gas condensate field sales gas pipeline. Administrative and production control of occupational health, industrial, and fire and well-kill safety has been organized and undertaken. This procedures allow to reduce the aforementioned risks. Certified equipment and technical devices meeting up-todate safety and reliability requirements are applied at hazardous production facilities of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas condensate field. The equipment and technical devices are maintained in a timely manner by the Company’s personnel or specialised organizations, which also reduces the aforementioned risks.


ANNUAL REPORT • 2012

Financial risks Inflation Risks The inflation rate in 2012 was 6.7%. According to observations, inflation rates are relatively stable and the Russian Ministry of Finance forecasts that inflation in 2013 will correspond to forecasts of about 5-6%. On the basis of this, the conclusion can be made that inflation will not cause any material impact on the financial and economic indicators of the Company in the foreseeable future.

Interest Risk Being a large borrower, the Company is exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates. The debt portfolio of the Company within the framework of the raised project facility is mainly presented by loans denominated in USD and EUR. The interest rate for the service of such loans is based on internal credit rates (LIBOR/Euribor). An increase in such interest rates may render the service of the Company’s debt more expensive. An increase in the cost of loans for the Com-

pany may affect solvency and liquidity indicators. However, LIBOR is currently at a relatively low historical level and has a medium-term tendency towards stabilisation. Taking into consideration gas supply contracts, in which the gas price is determined according to the formula, which also considers the compensatory component, the risk is deemed as low.

Currency Risk Since the debt portfolio of the Company includes liabilities, which are assessable, accruable and repayable in foreign currencies, fluctuations of exchange rates to the ruble materially affect the result of financial and business operations of the Company. Due to the absence of any revenues in foreign currency, the balanced currency structure of claims and liabilities, used as a hedging mechanism, is not applicable to the Company, taking into consideration that according to gas supply contracts, the gas price is determined according to the formula, which also considers the compensatory component, the risk is deemed as moderate.

Key Risks Associated with the Company’s Business

8

Legal risks Risks associated with the application and possible changes in tax laws of the Russian Federation Some laws have been adopted during recent years which introduce significant amendments to tax laws. Amendments introduced into the Russian tax system are aimed at eliminating its deficiencies, and therefore some provisions of the Russian Tax Code may be amended, which may result in a future increase or reduction of the tax burden versus the accounting year. Amendments of Russian Federation tax laws, which negatively affect the taxpayer, do not apply retrospectively as a rule (unlike various interpretations of some provisions of tax laws). Since interpretations of some tax law norms by tax authorities (the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and judicial authorities) may not match interpretations by the Company’s management, the amount of tax liabilities following the results of tax audits at the Company, both in the accounting year and preceding periods, may change and cause tax risks (in particular, additional taxes, penalties and fines may be imposed on the Company). In order to avoid tax risks, the Company regularly monitors any amendments made to the Russian Tax Code and law enforcement practice with further application of the same in its activities. Pursuant to Russian accounting rules, any change in tax liabilities over preceding periods is accounted for in statements over that period when such changes were actually effected.

Risks of legal proceedings and restrictions of the company’s business No change in legal practice in regard to matters associated with the Company’s activities as well as rules of legal proceedings will have a material impact on the Company’s business since the Company tries to settle any disputes extra judicially. At present, the Company is not involved in any significant legal proceedings and does not bear any liability for debts of third parties.

76

Legal risks associated with the application and possible change in currency laws The Company concludes foreign economic transactions and executes currency operations with non-residents, and therefore changes in currency regulation may affect the fulfilment of the Company’s liabilities to foreign counteragents. In particular, changes in currency regulation which may concern enforcement of control over execution of currency transactions and introduction of restrictions, may lead to losses under foreign trade contracts and/or delays in the fulfilment thereof. Due to the existence of foreign economic transactions, the Company is exposed to risks of bringing to administrative liability for violations of currency laws of the Russian Federation and acts of currency regulators, including without limitation, violation of the established unified rules of execution (re-execution) of transaction passports and non-observance of the established procedure or terms of submission of accounting forms and reports on currency transactions. For the purpose of observing the currency laws of the Russian Federation, within the framework of relations with non-resident companies, structural subdivisions of the Company take measures of control over timely and quality submissions of documentation required for the execution of currency transactions.
