In 12 months of 2018, liquid hydrocarbons production by the Company amounted to 4.67 mmb per day (230.2 mmt), up 2.1% year-on-year. The key growth factors were the record-breaking production volumes at the Company’s largest asset, RN-Yuganskneftegas; the launch of large greenfields (the second phase of the Srednebotuobinskoye, Tagulskoye, Russkoye, and Kuyumbinskoye fields); continued active development of existing projects against the backdrop of a need to comply with the OPEC+ Arrangement to cut oil production throughout the year.
Gas production decrease during 12 months of 2018 by 1.7% year-on-year was mainly caused by the reduction of associated petroleum gas production at the fields with developing infrastructure, and at some other assets, based on the conditions of development cost efficiency and with respect to external constraints.
In 2018, the growth of unit operating expenses was 4.9% year-on-year (from 185 to 194 RUB/boe), which is significantly lower than the industrial inflation rate in the Russian Federation (11.9%). The growth is mainly due to rising costs for the repair and maintenance of a growing well portfolio, oilfield services, as well as an increase in the tariffs of natural monopolies.
In 2018, OPEX of the oil refineries in the Russian Federation, and unit OPEX per tonne of refined oil increased by 11.3% and 8.2% year-on-year, respectively, due to growing natural monopolies’ tariffs, salary indexation and planned increase in the volume of repairs.
In 2018, EBITDA amounted to RUB 2,081 bln (USD 33.1 bln), 1.5 times above the level recorded in 2017. Operational efficiency increase, favorable external market conditions, and mitigation of constraints under OPEC+ Agreement contributed to EBITDA growth.
In 2018, net income attributable to Rosneft’s shareholders amounted to RUB 549 bln (USD 8.9 bln), 2.5 times as much as in 2017, irrespective of impairment recognized Notes 13, 24, 25 to
Revenue growth factors in 2018 included positive changes in the price trend (a 10% increase of the price for Urals oil in ruble terms), an increase in sales of oil and petroleum products due to the integration of new assets and organic growth of production and growth of oil supplies to the domestic market.
