LUKOIL today publishes consolidated US GAAP financial accounts for three and six months of 2004.
LUKOIL net profit was $1,696 mln in the first half of 2004, which is $594 mln higher than in the same period of 2003 (excluding cumulative effect of change in accounting policy and effect of sale of the Company’s stake in the Azeri-Chirag-Gyuneshli project). At the same time, taxes paid to the budget of Russia increased by more than $1.3 bln.
Operating expenses fell by $27 mln (by 2%) in the first half of 2004 compared with a year earlier.
Despite strengthening of the ruble in real terms, average oil production expenses fell from $2.59 to $2.53 per barrel (by 2.3%), which was made possible by increase in average flow rate per oil well from 9.42 to 10.52 tonnes per day (by 11.7%), as well as by restructuring of oil production assets in Perm region.
Total capital expenditures by LUKOIL in the first half of 2004 were $1,596 mln, which is 16.8% higher than in the same period of 2003.
LUKOIL increased average daily production (including LUKOIL’s share in affiliates) by 8.7%, and total production in the 1 half of 2004 amounted to 313.3 mln bbls (42.3 mln tonnes). Total organic growth of LUKOIL output was 5%.
Total volume of crude oil and petroleum products sold was 53.2 mln tonnes, which is 12.4% more than in the same period of 2003.
