Net sales of gas in the domestic market increased by RUB 64,861 million, or 15%, to RUB 502,271 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The increase in net sales of crude oil and gas condensate primarily resulted from the Gazprom neft activities: net sales of crude oil increased by RUB 11,693 million, or 10%,to RUB 133,368 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the increase of net sales of crude oil was mainly caused by the increase in oil prices. Net sales of gas condensate increased by RUB 11,379 million, or 58%, to RUB 31,070 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of gas condensate sales was primarily due to the increase in the average realized prices and volumes of gas condensate sold.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 net gas transportation sales increased by RUB 15,306 million, or 23%, to RUB 82,501 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net gas transportation sales was primarily due to the increase in the tariffs for transportation of gas for independent gas suppliers, and due to the increase in volumes of gas transported for independent gas suppliers.
Operating expenses increased by RUB 392,685 million, or 23%, to RUB 2,119,289 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The major item in the total amount of operating expenses is «Purchased gas and oil» which increased by RUB 200,381 million. The increase in cost of purchased gas relates to the increase in volumes and increase in prices of gas purchased from third parties within Russian Federation and abroad.
