In the second quarter and first half 2011, our natural gas sales volumes increased by 49.6% and 43.3%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The increases were primarily due to the growth in NOVATEK’s production capacity combined with the expansion of our customer portfolio and higher natural gas demand in the domestic market.
 
During the second quarter 2011, our total liquids’ sales volumes increased by 25.1% and our total liquids’ sales volumes in the first half of 2011 increased by 34.9% compared to the corresponding periods in 2010 primarily due to organic growth in production capacity. At 30 June 2011, we recorded 274 thousand tons of stable gas condensate in transit or storage and recognized as inventory as compared to 332 thousand tons as of 30 June 2010.
