Gas Condensate and LPG Transportation and Marketing

|
Substantially all of the stabilized gas condensate produced at our Purovsky processing plant is delivered by rail to the Port of Vitino on the White Sea in the Murmansk region. At the Port of Vitino, the gas condensate is loaded on ocean-going tankers for further transportation to international markets. We have our own facilities for loading and storage of stabilized gas condensate at the Port of Vitino, including two storage reservoirs, each with a capacity of 30 mcm. Our storage and loading facilities enable us to better market and sell our gas condensate in international markets.
Throughout the year, we exported 29 tankers of stable condensate of which 93% went to markets in the United States and 7% to European markets.
We sold 99% of our stable gas condensate produced at the Purovsky processing plant to export markets, whereas our LPG exports, including exports to the CIS countries, represented 22% of our total LPG production.

Crude Oil Transportation and Marketing
 The majority of NOVATEK’s crude oil is transported through the pipeline system operated by Transneft, Russia's largest pipeline operator. The crude oil that is transported through Transneft is blended with oil produced by other oil companies utilizing the Transneft network. The final sales are a blend that results from the combination of different types and qualities of oil transported through the system, and is known as "Ural’s Blend".
