PRODUCTION REPORT FOR APRIL 2020

 

Volga Gas plc, the oil and gas exploration and production group operating in the Volga Region of Russia, is pleased to provide the following update on its average production volumes for April 2020.

 

Production Report

 

The average production in April 2020 was 2,316 barrels of oil equivalent per day (43% lower than March 2020). The reduced gas plant throughput was driven by low demand for gas condensate & LPG in the domestic markets as a consequence of COVID-19 and international oil pricing drop. In addition there was a 5 day shut down for planned plant maintenance.

 

Average production comprised:

As at 30 April, the Group held cash balances of US$ 10.6 million, and has no debt.

 

Pricing update

 

International oil pricing drop had a significant impact on oil / condensate local pricing added with Russian Ruble (RUR) devaluation. Gas price is fixed in RUR but still impacted with local currency devaluation against USD (official Central Bank of Russia exchange rate at the end of April - 73.6894 RUR vs 61.9057 RUR as of January 01, 2020). Average pricing was:
