The US, Russia and Saudi Arabia produce more than 10mmbpd each and account for one third of total global oil supply
Other supply is spread across the world, although the Middle East again accounts for roughly one third of output
The OPEC cartel produced 38mmbpd in 2015, or 40% of total oil supply, but it is increasingly dominated by Saudi Arabia

Following the collapse in oil output from 1991, a period of low level stability in the late 1990s also saw the creation of the major VIOCs
Partnership with foreign service companies saw a dramatic rebound in early 2000s
Increase in state control of sector from 2005 coincided with slowdown in output recovery
There has been only one year of decline since 2000 (2008) despite constant complaints about the tax system

Rosneft dominates Russian oil output, following takeover of TNK-BP in 2013, with a 37% share
When the sector had been fully privatised in 2000 the State's equity share of total oil production was only around 300kbpd (Rosneft)
The share of state ownership roseto 50% on an equity basis by 2015 and almost 70% on a "control" basis
§£ Russian oil production history by company
Liquids production by company Share of total Russian liquids production
• Production growth has been seen across most companies
• Organic growth a feature of the early 2000s
• Subsequently M&A has played an increasing role
• Consolidation under state control has been a major theme
• Rosneft, GazpromNeft, Bashneft, Slavneft now all under clear state control (with Gazprom also an important liquids producer)
• Surgutneftegas, Tatneft and Novatek are heavily influenced by regional or federal authorities
• Rosneft now accounts for 40% of production, while the Russian government has control over 51% and significant influence over a further 19%

Russian oil production has been robust
Production has continued to increase in 2016 and 2017, in line with the trend set in 2015
No month has seen a decline year-on-year since July 2014, despite Govt, concerns
Companies have been put under pressure to focus on core production, re-directing investment towards enhanced oil recovery at existing fields - stability seen as the minimum requirement
New fields that were under development pre-2014 have also made a significant impact on short-term production

Maintaining oil production growth is certainly a challenge
Slow growth from 2014 levels (10.6mmbpd) had been expected
The impact of new fields could have seen total output at 11.5mmbpd by 2020, and this level could have been sustained with Arctic output
Challenge now is to optimise capital expenditure and prioritise key developments

Russian companies have been relatively successful at restricting brownfield decline
Expected natural decline at a West Siberian field would be 10-15% per annum, but the average decline at the top 10 producing companies has been less than 2%
Relatively simple secondary recovery techniques have been used to date, in tandem with enhanced computer technology to monitor reservoir performance

Histogram 6. Trend in horizontal and directional drilling in Russia in physical terms from 2006 to 2017, million meters
• Not surprising that there is a strong correlation between production drilling and oil output
• R squared of 0.92 suggests imperative to keep drilling in order to maintain production
• Drilling, both conventional and horizontal, continues to increase
• However, companies need to be encouraged to invest - costs need to be controlled and the Russian tax system needs to provide incentives
Increased use of directional and horizontal drilling has
improved well performance

Sanctions have had an impact on availability of new technology, but Russian service companies can still provide significant input to improving production
Increase in horizontal drilling has been dramatic over the past 3-4 years
GazpromNeft in particular has tripled the amount of horizontal drilling, especially at its Salym subsidiary in West Siberia

I Operating Costs I Post-tax cashflow
Russia's high level of revenue taxes (export tax and MET royalty) has limited cashflow throughout post-Soviet era
However, sliding scale of taxes means that government bears most of the burden in a falling oil price environment
In 2015, for every $10 decline in the oil price Russian oil companies only lost $1.44 per barrel of post-tax cashflow
Percentage decline was still significant, but high tax rates acted as something of a buffer
Taxation remains a major area of debate

At the 2016 budgeted oil price of $40 per barrel Russia would run a budget deficit of almost 4%
However, the improvement in 2017 led to a fall in the deficit to 1.5% of GDP as oil contributed 40% of budget revenues

The history of Russian discussions with OPEC
• Until 2016, Russia's relationship with OPEC had featured a series of unfulfilled promises
• The Doha meeting in April 2016 marked something of a turning point, although Russia again failed to deliver an agreement
• Necessity proved to be the mother of invention in November 2016, however, and Russia played a leading role in the OPEC/Non-OPEC production cut

Realistic production estimates suggest that 2mmbpd could be produced from the region by the end of the next decade
Oil is also being redirected from West Siberia to fill the ESPO pipeline, which will have an ultimate capacity of 1.6mmbpd to China and the Pacific coast

The Russian Arctic holds vast hydrocarbon potential (240 billion boe), which could sustain the country's oil output beyond 2030 and form the basis of an LNG hub
The Russian government is keen to develop the economic potential of its Northern regions, and plans to use the oil and gas industry as a foundation for this — New tax regime based on sliding royalty to incentivise investment
The Kremlin has clear geo-political ambition in the region, which goes beyond commercial logic -control of the northern sea route is a core strategy and Soviet military bases are being re-opened

• Joint ventures involving Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Statoil and Total were undermined by sanctions, which specify no transfer of technology for use specifically in shale reservoirs
Key technology issues appear to concern multi-stage hydro-fracking and logging while drilling, where Russian companies lack proprietary technology
• Major long-term concerns likely to be infrastructure and governance - can Russia build enough rigs and are state companies the ideal players

Cashflow for hard-to-recover oil with 50% discount to MET and export tax is greater at $50 per barrel oil price as 2014 total cashflow at $100 per barrel without discount
MET discount can range up to 100% of specific reservoirs and types of crude oil, while export tax and also be reduced to zero
However, these benefits have been partially offset by an adjustment to the 2016 tax arrangements
A planned reduction in the export tax rate was postponed in order to generate an extra $3 billion for the federal budget

Q.
A standard Bazhenov well close to existing infrastructure in West Siberia would appear to breakeven at an oil price of around $55-60 per barrel
Companies such as GazpromNeft and Rosneft are currently maintaining a watching brief on Russian shale, without making any major financial commitments
BP has signed a JV with Rosneft to explore the Domanik tight oil formation, committing $300mm of exploration funds
Bazhenov economics based on data from 2014, adjusted for devaluation of rouble
- Original cost of Bazhenov horizontal well with multi-stage fracking was estimated at up to $9mm - rouble devaluation would imply that this has fallen to around $5mm
- Initial flow rate assumed to be 50 tonnes per day (370bpd), declining to 15 tonnes per day (llObpd) in year 2
- Zero MET assumed, in accordance with current tax rules
- 50% of crude oil exported, 50% sold on domestic market
Sanctions have forced a strategic re-think

Technology bans in the Arctic and shale oil have had little impact on short-term production but have changed investment priorities
Arctic investment acknowledged as irrational at current oil price; tight oil desirable but unachievable until sanctions lifted
Key concerns with regard to sanctions concern financing:
- Specific limits on finance-raising for certain companies
- The downgrade of Russian sovereign debt to junk status, with a consequent impact on state companies' financing ability
Re-focus on core assets and enhanced recovery

• Oil exports flattened out from Q2 2017, as production restraint kicked in
• The share of non-Transneft routes has increased as some companies have tried to circumvent the system
• From September 2017 exports went into decline on a Y-o-Y basis
• However, this trend reversed dramatically from June 2018, as production controls ended

• There has been a noticeable shift in Russian oil exports in 2018
• The share of exports heading East has risen from an average of 31% in 2017 to 36% in 2018
• This continues the longer term trend seen since the opening of ESPO, but also underlines Russia's growing energy relationship with China

There has been a clear trend towards Asia for oil exports, and this is expected to continue Expansion of the ESPO system will be at the heart of this strategy
Exports via Kazakhstan are also playing an important role as Rosneft fulfils its commitments to CNPC's pre-payment deal

million barrels per day
• China has been keen to diversify away from Middle Eastern crude
• It has also been concerned about receiving too much oil by sea via the Malacca Straits
• Russian oil provides a pipeline and seaborne option, plus high quality crude
• Russia has become China's largest supplier of crude oil in 2016
Conclusions
• Pre-2014 Russian oil production looked set to reach 11.5mmbpd by 2020s
• Impact of lower oil price and sanctions was initially significant
• Rouble devaluation has helped to offset impact for up to 3 years
• Russian oil companies have been forced to re-prioritise, and tax changes have helped to catalyse focus on brownfields
• Oil price recovery has helped enormously, and following the end of the NOPEC production agreements output has surged again
• The main problem is in downstream, where tax changes have hit simple refineries and created need for investment
• Shut down of some refineries and lower demand will free up crude oil for export
• Outlook for production beyond 2017 is more difficult if oil price stays low and benefits of devaluation unwind, but upside still exists
• Crude exports likely to remain flat at worst, and to be focussed more on Asian markets
