In 2011, our total net natural gas production, including our equity interest in Sibneftegas’ production, increased by 15,644 million cubic meters, or 42.0% compared to 2010, primarily due to an increase in production at our Yurkharovskoye and East-Tarkosalinskoye fields, as well as the consolidation of our share in Sibneftegas’ production. Our total natural gas sales volumes increased by 16,550 million cubic meters, or 44.6%, in 2011 primarily due to the increase in net production.
 
Our liquids production increased by 494 thousand tons, or 13.7%, to 4,111 thousand tons compared to 3,617 thousand tons in 2010, due to the expansion of unstable gas condensate production capacity at our Yurkharovskoye field from the field’s on-going development program. During the year, our liquids sales volumes increased by 710 thousand tons, or 20.9%, as a result of the increase in production and a decrease in inventory balances. Also, in 2010 we launched our wholly owned gas condensate pipeline which required a one-time fill of approximately 36 thousand tons of unstable gas condensate.
 
At 31 December 2011, we had 228 thousand tons of stable gas condensate in transit or storage and recognized as inventory until such time as it is delivered to customers as compared to 264 thousand tons as of 31 December 2010. In 2011, our natural gas inventory balance as of 31 December 2011 decreased to 760 million cubic meters compared to 790 million cubic meters at the end of the 2010 period.
