 In 2017 oil production excluding West Qurna-2 project was 85.6 million tonnes, including 21.5 million tonnes produced in the fourth quarter of 2017. Starting January 2017 LUKOIL Group's oil production volumes and dynamics are mainly defined by the external limitations of Russian companies' production volumes.

Filanovsky field increased 21.2% quarter-on-quarter and reached 4.6 million tonnes for the full year, outperforming the planned annual level by 170 thousand tonnes.

Active development of high viscosity oil projects continued in Timan-Pechora. Production at Yaregskoe field and Permian reservoir of Usinskoe field increased by 11.5% and 9.3% quarter-on-quarter respectively.
