EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS

JSC TATNEFT

The innovative and advanced technologies and equipment widely applied at the Company are of great 
interest for the industry. Contracts were executed for provision of services and supply of equipment to 
our partners in Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. 

A large amount of work was performed by the Tire Complex enterprises to improve the quality and 
increase the competitive innovative products output. The factory for production of solid steel cord tires 
produced more than one million new generation tires for trucks and passenger motor transport.

The Company paid special attention in the reporting year to improve the production organization and 
management. There was a corporate Program developed to improve labor productivity in the whole 
Company profi le by 2020. Introduction of new equipment and technologies, active application of lean 
production, methods of process management, effective organization and rationalization of jobsites 
were defi ned as main factors of the labor effi ciency growth.

Successful solving of strategic tasks to stabilize crude oil production and expand the resource base, 
increase in the value and quality improvement of the assets involved in crude oil production and 
refi ning, petrochemicals production and thermal power generation ensured TATNEFT’s high appraisal 
by rating agencies. The Moody’s Rating Agency upgraded the Tatneft Group’s rating to «Baa3» 
investment grade with “stable” outlook. The Interbrand Agency included TATNEFT’s brand into the TOP 
10 most expensive Russian brands.

Special attention is paid in the Company to the social aspects, environmental safety, environmental 
protection and environmental management. The Company ensures high environmental standards at all 
the production sites. Social programs include support for education, health, culture and sports, as well 
as improvement of the human settlements.

In 2013 we celebrated the 70th anniversary since the beginning of the Tatarstan’s oil fi elds 
development. It was a milestone event for the whole industry of the Republic. This period witnessed 
establishment and successful development of the full-scale petrochemical complex, creation of the 
unique scientifi c and technical potential and accumulation of vast production experience. The oil 
industry veterans have made invaluable contribution to the petroleum industry development. Today, 
the result of all this is stable JSC TATNEFT’s development and successful implementation of strategic 
plans along all the lines of the activities.

In 2014, the Company’s staff faces a number of serious ongoing tasks to ensure the stabilization of 
crude oil production through application of advanced enhanced oil recovery technologies, increasing 
the volume of horizontal drilling and implementation of the extra-viscous oil fi eld development project. 

Dear Shareholders and Investors! Thank you for your confi dence vested and fruitful cooperation! We 
express our sincere appreciation to all our partners and colleagues at the Republican, all-Russia and 
international levels, as well as to our staff: managers at all the levels, professionals and workers for the 
successful realization of the production and social programs of the Company!

R.N. Minnikhanov
President 
of the Republic of Tatarstan,
Chairman of the Board of 
Directors of JSC TATNEFT 

Introduction of the innovative equipment and technologies, improvement of organization and 
management of the production processes, harmonious team work of all employees of the Company 
in the current year will ensure the implementation of the shaped plans. We are sure that 2014 will be a 
year of new achievements and further growth!

JOINT ADDRESS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, 
INVESTORS AND PARTNERS

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, INVESTORS AND PARTNERS!

TATNEFT Company is consistently and successfully implementing strategic initiatives to expand the 
resource base, stabilize the oil and gas production volumes, develop refi ning and petrochemicals 
production and output high quality products. 

During the reporting year the Company produced over 26 million tons of crude oil. Full-scale 
development of Ashalchinskoye extra-viscous oil fi eld is underway. These achievements have been 
promoted by widespread application of advanced technologies in drilling, crude oil production and 
workover operations.

The volume of primary processing was increased to 8 million tons of oil per year at the TANECO 
Refi ning and Petrochemical Plants Complex. The combined hydrocracking installation started 
operation in the comprehensive testing mode. The complete commercial commissioning of this 
installation will signifi cantly increase the output of desired petroleum products and provide for the 
output of competitive Euro 5 standard products.

Considerable attention was paid last year to improving reliability of the power supply system and 
performance of resource-saving activities. One of the key aspects in this area is to increase the 
utilization level of associated petroleum gas through using gas powered electrical generators and 
microturbine units. In the frame of further TATNEFT’s own generating complex development the 
reconstruction of Nizhnekamsk CHP was continued, which will allow doubling the generating plant 
capacity.

of crude oil and petroleum products - 259.9 billion rubles, indicating the high-quality proportion of the 
asset diversifi cation. Over recent years within the framework of the vertical integration development of 
the Company together with a steady growth of the recovery segment there was an intensive growth of the 
assets value of refi ning and sales owing to the project of the construction of own refi ning facilities of the 
TANECO Complex. Before this large-scale project was started in 2005, the segment share was 5% of the 
all Company’s assets by the end of 2011, and with the completion of the main phase of this construction 
and testing of the Complex’ facilities, this segment share increased to 34%, and after the Complex 
reached its design capacity in 2013 the share became even 39%.

In total, over 10 years the consolidated assets grew more than in 2.5 times. (In 2003 - 262.7 billion 
rubles.) As a result of this restructuring period, creation of a high-tech oil refi nery block, modernization 
of the petrochemical production, expansion of a distribution network of fi lling stations, acquisition of heat 
and power generating capacities the company achieved a high quality strengthening of the corporate 
business structure together with increased operating profi tability.

The Revenue from sales of JSC TATNEFT in the reporting year was 363.5 billion rubles (net of VAT and 
export duties), which was by 5.5% more than in 2012. The main reason is a price factor for crude oil 
and petroleum products, as well as changes in the sales structure. The cost of sales in 2013 amounted 
to 228.5 billion rubles. This is 9.7% higher than last year and associated mainly with the increased tax 
burden for natural resources production (MET) and infl ationary developments.

The revenue of the TATNEFT Group amounted to 455 billion rubles in 2013. There is the following 
distribution of shares in the consolidated revenue mix: the exploration and production - 45%, oil refi ning 
and sales of crude oil and petroleum products - 44%, petrochemicals - 8%. 

JSC TATNEFT realized the profi t before tax in the amount of 83.5 billion rubles. The after-tax profi t of the 
parent company amounted to 63.85 billion rubles. The leverage ratio is 78% : 22% which is an indicator 
of the fi nancial stability of the Company. The net assets increased by 11% to the level of 421.7 billion 
rubles by the end of 2013.

The consolidated profi t before tax of the TATNEFT Group amounted to 101.3 billion rubles. 

JSC TATNEFT provided timely payments to the budgets of all levels and off-budget funds. The total 
amount of accrued taxes and payments to the budgets of all levels was 323 billion rubles.

Payables on all types of loans and credits for 2013 were reduced by 22.9 billion rubles. The main 
part of the loans was previously engaged to meet the current production problems in connection 
with the direction of signifi cant own funds for fi nancing the construction of the TANECO Refi ning and 
Petrochemical Complex in Nizhnekamsk. 

The fi nancial and economic potential gained over the years by the Company allows to continue the 
implementation of major investment projects, both on account of the own funds and borrowed funds. 

The total amount of investments by JSC TATNEFT and its subsidiaries and affi liated companies in 2013 
amounted to 84.8 billion rubles. The top priority goals are as follows: strengthening of the oil and gas 
production assets, including overseas projects and the refi ning business unit. The most signifi cant 
investments were allocated and spent in these areas in the reporting year, which amounted to 37.4 billion 
rubles in the production and 42.7 billion rubles in the construction of the Refi ning and Petrochemical 
Complex in Nizhnekamsk.

of the TATNEFT 
Group in 2013

The Company provides 
for a steady increase 
of the annual production 
which is 5.8 % for 10 years. 
Despite the fact that most 
of the deposits of the 
Company are in their late 
stage of development, 
JSC TATNEFT is the only 
oil company in Russia that 
has managed to avoid any 
signifi cant decline in the 
production since 2000. 

At the beginning of 2014 the proved developed, undeveloped and undrilled reserves of JSC TATNEFT 
according to the estimates of the international independent consulting fi rm Miller & Lentz amounted 
to 847.346 million tons of oil. In terms of availability of hydrocarbon resources (the ratio between the 
current annual production and the amount of reserves) the Company is a leader not only in Russia but 
also in the world. 

The oil production of JSC TATNEFT totalled 26.419 million tons of oil in 2013, the Company reached 
the maximum level of hydrocarbons production over last 20 years. The enterprises of JSC TATNEFT in 
the Republic of Tatarstan and outside it produced 26 million 107 thousand tons of oil, the subsidiaries 
and affi liated companies produced 312 thousand tons of oil.

The main part of the current oil production accounts for the conventional large deposits of the Republic 
of Tatarstan. In accordance with the objectives on to expand the resource base and increase oil 
reserves the Company forms a diversifi ed portfolio of oil and gas assets. Outside the Republic of 
Tatarstan JSC TATNEFT holds the prospecting licenses for geological exploration and development 
of oil, gas and condensate fi elds purchased through auctions as well as through the acquisition of the 
business parts of the oil companies in the Samara, Orenburg, Ulyanovsk Regions, Nenets Autonomous 
Okrug and the Republic of Kalmykia. In 2013 JSC TATNEFT jointly with its nine subsidiaries operating 
in the territory of the Russian Federation possessed 97 licenses for exploration and development of the 
hydrocarbons deposits. The Company continued the geological exploration programs in the territory 
of license sites in Libya and Syria, which had been suspended in 2011 due to the complicated political 
situation till the internal situation stabilization in these countries and guarantee the safety for the 
Company’s specialists.

In accordance with the extra viscous fi eld development plans the EVO production amounted to 
145.6 thousand tons in the Ashalchi oil fi eld in 2013. The total production of extra viscous oil from the 
beginning of the commercial fi eld development reached 325.7 thousand tons of extra viscous by the 
end of 2013. The total production rate for the site by the end of the year reached 480 tons per day.

In 2013 the Company started to implement the shale oil study program – there was a pilot well drilled at 
the depth of about 1700 m and it is in operation now.

The drilling complex companies penetrated 450.1 thousand meters of rocks in the fi elds of JSC 
TATNEFT in the reporting year and commissioned 266 new producing wells, The average fl ow rate of 
new wells amounted to 9.3 tons per day. 248 wells were completed for water injection.

In order to achieve maximum economic returns and increase profi tability of the production assets, 
rational use of natural and material resources the Company implements the target program activities 
aimed at optimizing the infrastructure of mature fi elds, increasing the oil recovery factor, ensuring cost 
control, resource saving, development and implementation of innovative technologies and equipment.

layers of one well to ensure effective operation of the oil fi elds. At the beginning of the current year the 
number of these dual completion and dual injection systems exceeded 1900 units, the cumulative oil 
production amounted to 7.7 mln tons of oil. 

TATNEFT Company is an absolute industry’s leader in terms of the average turnaround time for wells 
among the major oil companies the Russian oil industry. The overall average turnaround time in JSC 
TATNEFT was 1198 days in 2013. This has been achieved through the introduction of a large variety of 
innovative technologies, high quality and timely maintenance of the oilfi eld equipment.

TATNEFT Company is a supplier of the advanced technologies, equipment and oilfi eld services to 
external oil producing companies. The Company provided such supplies to Kazakhstan and provided 
EOR oilfi eld services in Turkmenistan in 2013.

The oil refi ning assets include TANECO Refi ning and Petrochemical Complex in Nizhnekamsk, the 
construction of which was started by the Company in 2005 in order to form the own facilities for oil 
advanced processing and the refi ning facility of NPU Elkhovneft.

In 2013 the total refi ning throughput was about 8 million tons, including 7.6 million tons of crude oil and 
4.4 tons of gas condensate processed at TANECO. Main products are as follows: straight-run gasoline, 
stable natural gasoline, middle distillates, visbreaker tar, vacuum gas oil, commercial fuel oil. The level of 
the capacity utilization of TANECO reached a record level - 108.8 % of designed capacity (the average 
for Russia – 92.9 %). The processing volume amounted to about one-third of the Company’s annual 
production. The average annual oil refi ning effi ciency was 73.54% (which is higher than the Russian 
average level of 71.5%) light petroleum products output – 48.16%. Most sections of the integrated 
hydrocracking unit are in the comprehensive testing mode.

In March 2014 OJSC TANECO completed commissioning works on the integrated hydrocracking unit and 
hydrogen generation unit, and obtained the Rostekhnadzor certifi cate of conformity with requirements 
of the technical regulations and design documentation. TANECO obtained permits for commissioning of 
these facilities and the state registration of OJSC TANECO ownership of real estate assets. Further plans 
for the current year are as follows: continue to increase the capacity utilization of the TANECO fi rst stage, 
to exceed the achieved level which will enhance the positive effect for JSC TATNEFT as well as for the 
whole Russian economy. In 2014 it is planned to ensure the refi ning throughput volume of 8.5 million tons 
and to start the normal operation of the hydrocracking unit allowing production of high demand products 
– high quality light petroleum products EURO-5 diesel fuel, jet aviation fuel, base oils. The pilot batches 
of EURO-5 diesel fuel are characterized by a low sulfur content (3 ppm - this is signifi cantly less than the 
upper limit for this emissions class which is 10 ppm). 

TANECO Complex became the fi rst large-scale refi nery facilities built from scratch in the post-Soviet 
countries over the last 30 years. The project was fi nanced by JSC TATNEFT on account of own and 
borrowed funds. The mechanism of public-private partnership was also used in the construction of 
transport infrastructure objects of the Complex. The commercial operation of the refi nery commenced on 
December 2, 2011.

The sustainable development strategy of OJSC TANECO envisages further expansion of the volume and 
range of the products, a signifi cant increase of the depth of processing, as well as the output of light 
petroleum products. The technological level of the Complex is consistent with international standards, 
both in the areas of ecological and industrial safety.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

JSC TATNEFT

THE BASIC TRENDS OF OIL & GAS 
INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT 

The crude oil production in Russia totalled 523.5 million tons in 2013, which is 1% more than in 2012 
(518 million tons). The increase in oil production was the result of outpacing growth rates in the “new” 
oil-bearing areas as compared with the rates of oil production decline in the “old” fi elds.

In the near term it is expected to have a continuing global demand for liquid hydrocarbons at the 
average growth rate within 1.2%.

Russia continues to maintain the world’s top position in gas export and shares the 1-2 positions with 
Saudi Arabia in oil export.

The Russian oil companies with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation have 
established their three important directions for development of domestic oil production:
•  Involvement in the production of hard-to-recover reserves; 
•  Increase of the share of recoverable hydrocarbons in offshore fi elds; 
•  Development of reserves in new fi elds in hard-to-reach regions.

The activities of the Government of the Russian Federation on tax incentives for companies in 
development of hard-to-recover reserves in 2013 resulted in increase of the base of economically 
recoverable oil reserves in Russia from 12 billion tons up to 20 billion tons. 

The most important event of the industry became the closing of M&A transaction – between the 
Russian company ROSNEFT and TNK-BP, which resulted in the emergence of the largest public oil 
producing company in the world. It is expected that this event will infl uence the oil and gas sector of 
Russia and the trend towards consolidation and integration in the fuel and energy sector will increase 
and as a result the competition will be reduced.

In 2013 the Russian oil companies continued a large-scale modernization of refi neries aimed 
at increasing the oil refi ning depth, increasing the yield of gasoline components and improving 
fuel environmental standards. Realization of many projects is performed in accordance with the 
quadripartite agreement concluded with the State in October 2011 and is subject to regular monitoring 
by the Russian Government.

Despite the development of projects aimed at reducing the output of fuel oil and other dark petroleum 
products in anticipation of increasing export duties on dark petroleum products, the reverse of the 
general trend of fuel oil production failed: - in 2013 its production increased by 4.3% (from 74.4 to 
77 million tons). In many ways, this trend is due to the introduction of primary refi ning capacities and 
increase of primary distillation which increased by 7.3 million tonnes and reached 277.3 million tons 
per year in 2013.

Among the major development trends of the Russian retail market of petroleum products are the 
following:
•  Ongoing consolidation of the retail networks by vertically integrated oil companies: construction of 

new fi lling stations and acquisition of the existing independent operators;

•  Strengthening the role of the State that resulted from the acquisition of independent vertically 

integrated oil companies by the state-owned companies;

•  Improved environmental quality requirements for petroleum products: ban on sales of fuels below 

EURO-3 grade.

THE EVENTS OCCURRED IN THE REPORTING YEAR 
THAT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED THE INDUSTRY

In 2013, the activities of Company were carried out in the conditions of the industrial competition amid 
slowing growth rate of the industrial production index in all the sectors of the Russian Federation as 
compared to the previous year (0.3 % vs. 2.6 %), while the production index in mining operation slightly 
increased (1.2 % vs. 1.1 %). In 2013, the refi ning industries developed more slowly (up 0.1%) than the 
resource industries (up 0.3%).

The state budget was funded to 50% owing to the successful activity of the oil and gas production 
complex in 2013. The growth of oil production in Russia achieved in 2013 (523.5 million tons, 101% of 
2012) has been provided mainly by commissioning of new fi elds in the Eastern Siberia – Vankorskoye, 
Talakanskoye and Verkhnechonskoye.

The appreciable quantity of tax innovations have been developed and adopted by the Government of 
the Russian Federation in 2010-2013 years, however, the bulk of oil revenues are taken in the form of 
taxes, which seriously hinders development of the innovation-oriented investment activity of oil-and-
gas companies.

The Law on the use of incentives in production of extra viscous oil came into force in 2012: its volume is 
90% of the export duty for 10 years period. The resulting benefi t will be extended to dozens of licensed 
areas of the Company, which opens for JSC TATNEFT a real prospect of growth of oil production and 
involvement in development of previously uneconomic reserves, primarily in the Republic of Tatarstan.

In general the year of 2013 has proven to be challenging for the tire manufacturing complex of 
JSC TATNEFT. There is an observed trend of the demand shift of C-price segment products (low-
price segment) in favor of the mid-price segment tires and premium tires in the Russian tire market. 
Reduction in demand for C-price segment products primarily affected the domestic manufacturers of 
tire products.

Whereas the long-term tire market prospects in all remain encouraging, the competition among the tire 
manufacturers in the market of the Customs Union is increasing year by year: the foreign producers 
increase their production capacities in Russia, and import duties under WTO commitments will 
gradually decrease.

As in previous years the State played a signifi cant role in the thermal power industry. In 2013 there 
was continued consolidation of business entities by state-owned companies; the Government of the 
Russian Federation took measures to limit the growth of electricity rates for end consumers.

Further the energy demand growth rates in 2013 were signifi cantly lower than those planned by the 
RF Government. The large-scale introduction of new and upgraded generating capacities against 
an overall economic slowdown in the Russian Federation and Republic of Tajikistan led to increased 
competition in the industry.

The social electricity rates for the population were introduced in sixteen regions. This action has the 
potential to reduce electricity consumption in case of expanded experience of social rates.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

JSC TATNEFT

The key event in the power generation market was the decision of the President of the Russian 
Federation to freeze electricity and heat tariffs in 2014 and limit their growth by the infl ation rate in the 
next two years. In 2013, the Russian government paid attention to the problem of non-payments on the 
wholesale electricity market. To solve this problem the rules were adopted to simplify the procedure 
of withdrawing a status of the guaranteed power supplier, and introduce a mechanism of fi nancial 
guarantees of payments for electricity through accredited banks. The measures taken will help to 
increase a fi scal discipline of the retail companies and reduce the overdue indebtedness of the utilities. 

The world prices for hydrocarbons (especially oil) are the main external factor affecting the activity 
of JSC TATNEFT. A possible slowdown in the growth of the global economy, as well as development 
of the technologies for production of hard-to-recover reserves (bitumen, shales) and technologies 
for alternative energy production will inevitably lead to the decline in oil demand, and as a result, the 
decline in world prices.

Among the factors that can negatively affect the Russian oil and gas industry as a whole, is the ever-
increasing importance of rapidly improving technologies for extracting shale hydrocarbons (especially 
oil), which could lead to an increase in their supply on the world energy market. The «Shale gas 
revolution» has already led to a decrease in prices and reduction of gas imports to the U.S., have an 
impact on the global energy market as a whole, causing the downward correction in commodity prices.

The main uncertainty factor for the oil refi ning block of the Company is a frequently changing legislation 
of the Russian Federation in the fi eld of the export taxation of oil and petroleum products, as well 
as the lack of long-term plans or concepts of the Russian Government on the tax law changing. The 
annual changes to the taxation system make it diffi cult to effectively plan long-term investments in the 
refi neries and reliable assessment of their prospective profi tability.

Also in recent years in Russia there is a tendency of the tax burden shift from the oil production to the 
oil refi ning industry. At the same time it is not applicable in Russia to provide the investment protection 
practice of the Russian investments against unplanned and unfavorable changes in the tax legislation, 
and therefore these changes lead to worsening economic performances of the investment projects 
which have been already launched in the oil refi ning business.

Consolidation of the retail networks by the state-owned vertically integrated oil companies (JSC 
Rosneft and JSC GazpromNeft) can have the negative impact on the retail business of JSC TATNEFT. 
After JSC Rosneft purchased JSC TNK-BP, the market share (by sales volume) of the state-owned 
vertically integrated oil companies in the regions of JSC TATNEFT’s region of operation has increased 
from 22% to 33%.

Another factor hindering the development of the tire business of JSC TATNEFT in the coming years can 
become the commitments adopted by Russia under the framework of the World Trade Organization 
(WTO) to mitigate a number of barriers on the supply of tires of foreign producers to the Russian 
market. This, in particular, concerns the reduction of import duties for passenger car tires from the 
current 20% to 10% by 2017, and import duties for truck and bus tires will be reduced from 15% to 
10% by 2015. Therefore, it is expected a substantial growth of the foreign tire supply to the Russian tire 
market from the Asian region, whereas the Chinese manufacturers are already ready to supply their 
products to the car plants of Russia at prices below the production cost of some Russian automotive 
producers.

THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF JSC TATNEFT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES 
AND THE BASIC STEPS OF THE COMPANY TO IMPROVE ITS FUTURE COMPETITIVENESS

In the segment of oil & gas production and sales the key competitive advantage of the Company is, 
above all, the highest hydrocarbon resource endowment in the industry: the available resource base of 
the Company allows it to maintain the current production volume for over 35 years.

Despite the signifi cant depletion of reserves, the Company year after year increases the oil production 
volumes while maintaining a competitive cost level through the use of the advanced innovative 
technologies to improve oil recovery. With the general industrial trend of decrease in oil production 
rates, JSC TATNEFT is the only company among the Russian vertically integrated oil companies, which 
managed to avoid the decline in production over recent years.

JSC TATNEFT is a recognized leader in the fi eld of development and application of EOR methods 
for development of hard to recover reserves. Through the application of tertiary recovery methods 
(enhanced oil recovery) Company produced 6 million 192 thousand tons of oil in 2013 or 23.7% 
of the total production. Achievement of such performance indicators is ensured by the scientifi c-
technological support provided by the research and development divisions include in the Company 
structure. The Company’s developments are praised at the governmental level. In 2013 the collective 
of authors was awarded the Prize of the Russian Federation Government in the fi eld of science and 
technology for the scientifi c work «Creation and industrial introduction of the integrated technology for 
development of extra-viscous oil fi elds».

At present OOO NTC Tatneft runs three large projects related to the core production activity of 
the Company: development of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery methods (MEOR) for carbonate 
reservoirs, deep water processing for steam generation in extra viscous oil production, methods 
for determining the viscosity of heavy oils by NMR – relaxation. In order to achieve the objectives 
given to the R&D Centre there were three laboratories created and equipped with state-of-the-art 
equipment. The following experts are involved for working on the projects: the specialists of OOO 
NTC Tatneft, TatNIPIneft Petroleum Institute, as well as leading Russian scientifi c institutions: Institute 
of Microbiology, RAS (Russian Academy of Sciences), University of Chemical Technology of Russia 
(RKhTU), Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (K(P)FU). Some foreign oil corporations (France, 
Kazakhstan) are already interested in the research and developments conducted in the R&D Centre, 
they are currently negotiating for possible cooperation.

The improvement of bituminous oil recovery technologies in the favorable conditions of the incentives 
given by the Government of the Russian Federation for development of extra-viscous oilfi elds provides 
the Company with a signifi cant competitive advantage in terms of expanding the resource base and 
increasing the oil production volumes.

In order to ensure the production profi tability the Company realizes has the comprehensive programs 
of the activities to improve the economic effi ciency of the production processes of production, energy- 
and resource saving. JSC TATNEFT works on conservation of non-commercial producing wells which 
allows to allocate the released investments between the most promising production targets.

Another considerable advantage of JSC TATNEFT is the geographical proximity of the oil production 
center to the major regions of sales and refi ning of crude oil and petroleum products. The Company 
has the lowest average tariff of the crude oil transportation to the European markets among the major 
vertically integrated oil companies of Russia.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

JSC TATNEFT

The key competitive advantage in the segment of oil & gas processing and petrochemical business is 
the technological level of a new refi nery of the Company in Nizhnekamsk - TANECO built on the basis 
of application of the advanced proven international technologies and highest environmental standards, 
with a potential to achieve the processing depth up to 97% and production of high value added 
products after completion of the construction and commissioning in full production capacity. 

Through the construction of this Complex the Company provided an opportunity of processing of the oil 
produced in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan very close to the production sites that optimizes 
the operating costs and further logistics of refi ned products to the own network of fi lling stations 
located in the surrounding areas but not limited to. Another important factor of the TANECO Complex 
effi ciency is an access to the Sever product pipeline, which will allow signifi cantly to reduce the costs of 
diesel fuel transportation to the European markets.

The concept of the complex integrates the refi ning and petrochemical plants with the output of 18 
kinds of products from European quality standards motor fuels to raw materials components for 
production of a wide range of high-demand petrochemicals, including import substituting products 
in compliance with the high environmental quality standards and perspective requirements of the 
market. It is scheduled from 2014 to start the market supplies of EURO-5 diesel fuel, base oils of II 
and III groups, jet fuel, and from 2017 it is planned to start market supplies of EURO-5 motor gasoline, 
aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. With the completion of the construction of the fi rst stage of the refi nery 
it is planned to completely stop the fuel oil production and to minimize the output of dark petroleum 
products. In circumstances when from January 1, 2015 it is planned to increase the export duties for 
dark petroleum products, this confi guration of the refi nery will allow to achieve high effi ciency of oil 
refi ning.

Unlike the most Russian refi neries the TANECO Complex has the capacity to process the oil with high 
sulfur content. The refi nery currently processes the oil with 1.8% sulfur content which is higher than in 
the system of OJSC AK Transneft, where the sulfur content is 1.4-1.6% (western directions). Therefore, 
the redirection of sour crude oil from the pipeline system of OJSC AK Transneft to the TANECO 
refi ning facilities improves the quality of the Urals export oil, as well as the oil supplied to other Russian 
refi neries. 

In this the conditions of quality deterioration of the oil supplied to the Russian refi neries through the 
pipeline system of OJSC AK Transneft due to the industry-wide quality of raw materials stocks, the 
Company has the advantage to process the oil with high sulfur content, which will allow to adapt to new 
conditions with minimum investments.

The retail business of the Company is formed by a growing distribution network of service fi lling 
stations operating under the TATNEFT corporate brand in the territory of Russia, Byelorussia and 
Ukraine. The competitive advantage of the retail networks of JSC TATNEFT is its widespread scale and 
breadth covering virtually all the most attractive regions in Russia, fi rst of all, the Volga region and the 
Central Federal District having high growth prospects and attractive retail margin. The retail networks 
of JSC TATNEFT is the fourth-largest fuel retailer ranked after Lukoil, Rosneft, GazpromNeft in terms of 
the number of fi lling stations.

The Company has formed the basic part of the retail network based on the prospects of strengthening 
its own power refi ning block and output of high standard motor fuels. The completion of the TANECO 
complex will fully satisfy the needs of the TATNEFT network of fi lling stations with high quality fuel of 
EURO-5 standard, which will signifi cantly strengthen the competitive position of JSC TATNEFT in the 
retail market.

Generally successful logistics location of fi lling stations in the urban infrastructure highways provides 
a high potential of enhanced economic effi ciency of the retail network. In order to improve the 
competitiveness of this business segment against the background of consolidation of the retail market 
by the state vertically integrated oil companies and strengthening of the positions of LUKOIL and 
other brands of retail networks, the Company with guaranteed fuel quality assurance will continue 
to modernize the retail fi lling stations extend and improve the quality of non-fuel offers, increase 
the service levels, develop the target loyalty programs. Along with this the work will be continued to 
improve the internal effi ciency of the retail business – business process optimization, cost optimization, 
automation systems improvement.

The Tire Business of the Company has several competitive advantages, such as the proximity to the 
supply source of synthetic rubber, availability of the own carbon black production, a signifi cant scale 
plants of passenger car, truck tires and solid metal core tires, availability of the up-to-date production 
lines meeting the highest market requirements and technical requirements, as well as geographical 
proximity to the large clusters of the car assembly plants and a developed dealer network.

 In order to increase the competitiveness of the tire business the Company will continue the works 
on modernization of the tire production, improvement of the production effi ciency, development of 
new innovative tire products and introduction of higher requirements for quality characteristics of 
the products. Particular attention will be focused on strengthening the sales and marketing system: 
product brand management, product range development and price positioning in the light of the 
necessity to respond quickly to changing marketing conditions. 

The important aspect of the Company’s development concept of the business segment of refi ning and 
sales of crude oil and petroleum products is the capacity building to replace oil export with the export 
and supplies of high-quality petroleum products to the domestic market, which correspond to the 
strategic objective of Russia.

Power generating assets of the Company allow to improve reliability and profi tability of heat and 
power supply of the production enterprises, refi neries and petrochemical facilities of the Company 
and promote the growth of competitiveness of the whole Group. In the future, the Company associates 
additional operating revenue with development of this business segment.

The key realizable levers of improving the TANECO competitiveness are currently as follows: increasing 
the capacity utilization of primary oil processing and secondary refi ning processes at the refi nery 
complex, which will allow to increase the labour productivity of the enterprise, as well as the approved 
program of energy saving and energy effi ciency of TANECO, which aims at cost optimization and 
reduction of the processing cost.

The implementation of the project of the Nizhnekamsk CHP modernization is continued with the plan 
of increasing its capacity from 380 to 730 MW. The commissioning of the state-of-the-art turbine units 
will allow using the excess thermal energy for generation of additional electric power. The project is 
expected to increase the Company’s revenue, increase profi ts, as well as solve the problem of electric 
power shortage at the largest petrochemical plants in Nizhnekamsk, including TANECO Complex. 
Besides the power generating companies of JSC TATNEFT implement the activities on improvement of 
the heat and electric power reliability and cost reduction of the energy resources as part of the relevant 
corporate programs.

OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION OUTSIDE 
THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
JSC TATNEFT and State Company «Turkmenneft» have signed the 
service contract in 2010 for to enhanced oil recovery and crude 
oil production in the Goturdepe fi eld in Turkmenistan. The work 
schedule of the contract execution have been developed and 
approved. Anticipated incremental oil production for the full-term 
of the Contract is 321 thousand tons. Currently, the certifi cate 
of JSC TATNEFT Branch registration in Turkmenistan has been 
received. A residential township for workers of the JSC TATNEFT 
Branch has been built. The budget of the JSC TATNEFT Branch in 
Turkmenistan has been approved for 2014.Works are started on 
a possible contract extension with subsequent conclusion of the 
Supplementary Agreement to expand JSC TATNEFT activities in 
Turkmenistan.

Performance of exploration programs has been suspended in the 
territory of JSC TATNEFT license blocks in Libya and Syria due to the 
political situation. On February 7, 2013 the force majeure period for 
implementation of contractual obligations in Libya was announced to 

be terminated. Currently, the negotiations are underway to resume 
the works of the JSC Tatneft Branch in Libya. 

OPERATIONS IN THE EXTRA-VISCOUS 
OIL FIELDS
In 2013 the pilot operations were carried out in the Sheshminsky 
horizon of the Ashalchi EVO fi eld within the framework of the 
Company’s plans for development of extra-viscous oil fi elds.

56 horizontal wells were drilled in the Ashalchi EVO fi eld, including 
5 single horizontal wells for huff-and-puff technology. 19 wells were 
completed in 2013. 19 well pairs are in operation at present.

The daily oil production reached 480 tons by the end of the year. 
145,616 thousand tons of oil is produced in 2013 which is 2 times 
more than in the previous year. EVO total production from the 
beginning of commercial development amounted to 325,683 
thousand tons.

Achievement of these results is supported by a broad range of 
administrative and technical measures on setting-up additional 
capacities for water and gas supply, steam generation, EVO 
production and processing, produced water injection. The boiler 
house was reconstructed with the increased capacity up to 150 tons 
of steam per hour, a new gas pipeline and water pipeline were put 
into operation. 

ENHANCEMENT OF OIL & GAS RECOVERY 
AND ENERGY SAVING 
The Company implements targeted program activities aimed at 
enhancing effectiveness of performance indicators and monitoring 
production profi tability through application of modern technologies 
for optimization of the wells stock and fi eld development systems. 

Improving the data processing performance in the search of 
new deposits is provided by new technologies applied along 
with traditional seismic methods. Prediction of oil prospective 
targets is made with application of the artifi cial intelligence 
method, identifi cation of prospective targets with application of 
fi eld geophysics and geochemistry using a complex probability 
parameter for defi ning oil bearing prospectivity. Passive adsorption 
of hydrocarbons; low-frequency seismic sounding; geological and 
geophysical technology for optimization of well drilling location 
selection; electromagnetic sounding and a new 3D Stratimegic 
software package for processing 3D seismic data are used in 
application of geochemical method of oil and gas detection. NMR-
tomography sounding method is applied for identifi cation of extra-
viscous oil saturated layers at small depths. 

53 technologies were applied in drilling in 2013. The most effective 
technologies as related to cementing quality improvement are 
silicate-based mud treatment in the pay interval; application of 
grade G cement, collar cementing tools; and as related to high oil 
production rates – construction of horizontal and multilateral wells. 

46

The technology of slim-hole drilling proved to be effective. 38 slim 
holes were drilled in JSC TATNEFT in 2013, among them 36 wells 
were put on oil production (produced oil volume amounted to 44.726 
thousand tons). The average production rate was 6.2 tons per day. 
The total slim holes stock was 296 wells. 

Application of advanced methods of enhanced oil recovery 
provided for the Company’s incremental production of 
6,192.5 thousand tons. The share of oil produced using EOR 
methods accounted for 23.7% of the total oil production in 2013. 

59 horizontal holes and12 multilateral wells were drilled in this year, 
oil production on these wells amounted to 87.2 thousand tons. 
The total number of horizontal wells drilled from the beginning of 
activities amounted to 613 wells and the total number of multilateral 
wells amounted to104 wells.

TATNEFT Company actively employs the dual completion 
technology and oil production from two or several layers 
of one well. The average increase in oil production per 1 well 
achieved 4.4 tons per day resulting from dual completion 
production/injection, and 1.9 tons per day resulting from dual 
injection.

CORPORATE MANAGEMENT

JSC TATNEFT

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 

The corporate policy priorities in fi nancial management have to 
ensure fi nancing of production, investment, and social activities of 
the Company and the effective use of fi nancial resources.

All obligations to pay for works and services for the delivered 
products, payment of taxes and payments to non-budgetary funds 
were performed by JSC TATNEFT in full and in a timely manner. 
Activities of the Company in 2013 were carried out under conditions 
of considerable instability expressed by drastic fl uctuations in oil 
prices and changes in the national currency exchange rate.

In 2013 JSC TATNEFT placed temporarily idle funds in the fi nancial 
market. When placing the funds the Company prefers reliability, so 
investments are made only in the largest banks. Such placements 
resulted in the income from deposits and other placements in the 
amount of RUR 2.3 billion.

The work to reduce rates on loans raised, reduction 
of loans debt level, optimal placement of temporarily 
free funds, fl exible policy of short-term debt management 
allowed the interest income exceed the interest expense 
by the results of work in 2013. 

In 2013, the Company operated in the mode of repayment loans 
raised earlier. As a result, the debt was decreased by USD 522.4 
million and three-year exchange bonds were promptly repaid in the 
amount of RUR 5.0 billion.

Taking into account the uneven nature of revenues and expenses 
during the month the Company, when it necessary to cover 
cash gaps uses short-term loan mechanism (1 to 30 days) with 
SDBO (e-banking system) with VTB Bank, Unicredit, Bank of 
Moscow, Rosbank and ZENIT Banking Group. In 2013, this group 
also included Sberbank with a limit of RUR 20 billion, while VTB 
increased the amount of the limit from RUR 10 to 20 billion and 
the period from 30 days to 1 year. A contract was concluded with 
the Agricultural Bank. Such a wide choice range of banks allows 
obtaining short fi nancing at the best rates.

In November 2013, the Moody’s Investor Services rating 
agency announced that it upgraded the corporate group 
rating and the default probability of JSC TATNEFT 
n.a. V.D. Shashin to “Baa3” investment grade, forecast - 
“stable”. It was for the fi rst time in history that JSC TATNEFT 
n.a. V.D. Shashin received an investment grade rating 
from a leading rating agency.

To prevent diversion of funds the Company actively uses bank 
guarantees for excise tax payments to the budget. During the year, 
the cost of providing guarantees was reduced from 0.15% to 0.12%.

To solve the problem of funds shortage the Financial Department 
carried out a large amount of work on optimizing payments to 
counterparties. This will be continued in future. In view of reducing 
distractions from the Company’s turnover and accelerating 
settlements with permanent counterparties reciprocal obligations 
are redeemed through the Mutual Claims Set-Off Center (MCSC). 

BUDGET PLANNING SYSTEM
BUDGET ALLOCATION BY CCAS 
(CENTERS OF CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY)
Great importance is attached to improving the methodological 
framework. In order to improve the management of the Company’s 
cash fl ows new documents have developed and amendments have 
been introduce into the existing regulatory documentation. 

The JSC TATNEFT’s balanced budget of payment means movement 
was executed in 2013. The budget funds of the Company are 
planned and distributed between 13 Control and Accountability 
Centers. Each CCA is guided by a Deputy General Director or Head 
of Department for respective activity, which provides operative 
fi nancial management and responsibility for purposeful and effective 
use of funds.

CORPORATE MANAGEMENT

JSC TATNEFT

ASSETS MANAGEMENT

Formation of the Company’s assets structure is made in accordance 
with the Company’s development strategy in its capacity as a 
vertically integrated oil and heat/power generating holding with 
the priorities of consolidating production assets (expansion of the 
resource base), crude oil refi ning, petrochemical production and 
heat/power generating capacities.

There is a unifi ed corporate center functioning in the Company to 
consolidate the assets and manage the property within the Property 
Department of JSC TATNEFT, which ensures the functions of 
maintaining records, legal protection and control of movable and 
immovable property.

Ownership of registered immovable property was registered for 464 
items amounting to RUR 8.1 billion in 2013. 

In accordance with the corporate program of increasing the 
effi ciency of the Company’s assets package the structural divisions 
sold (including deferred payment deals) unclaimed property valued 
at RUR 690 million in the reporting year. 

Selling of little used and non-used property provides for additional 
cash fl ow, helps reducing the cost of maintaining the property 
complex, and as a result reduces the production cost of products 
sold by JSC TATNEFT.

JSC TATNEFT has built a single, integral, fl exible lease relations 
system that allows responding to the changing dynamics of the rent 
payments taking into account the economic situation and solvency 
of entities taking the property on lease. The rent payments in the 
amount of RUR 1.15 billion were received in 2013.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Intangible Assets Management System
As part of long-term corporate priorities for managing intangible 
assets and intellectual property of JSC TATNEFT the work 
was continued in the reporting year on the procedures for 
commercialization of intellectual property items, a commercial 
portfolio of the JSC TATNEFT’s intellectual property and the most 
promising patents was built up to identify opportunities for their 
promotion on the Russian and international markets. During the 
period since 2004 the share of intangible assets in the currency 
balance sheet of the Company doubled.

The inventory of inventions and utility models useful service life, 
which are on the balance of the JSC TATNEFT’s structural divisions 
is annually made according to the provisions of the accounting 
standard (PBU 14/2007) in order to optimize and reduce costs in 
the production area. Revision of useful service life and depreciation 
rates of intangible assets is related to the duration of the future 
profi ts receiving period and increasing the profi tability of JSC 
TATNEFT in general.

To ensure effi cient use of the intellectual property items the 
Company maintains on an ongoing basis a single register of 
intangible assets, the basis of which are technological assets that 
are essential for current operations.

Over 
5,000

intellectual property items 
are in the register of intangible 
assets of the Company as 
of the end of 2013

Being a high-tech company, JSC TATNEFT provides its research 
and development works and production technologies to outside

of intangible assets to the authorized capital of the newly established 
enterprises.

The work was continued in 2013 on the management of the 
Company’s trademark, as one of the property assets involved 
in production activities (crude oil production, processing, sale, 
promotion of technologies) that provide for additional income and 
strengthens the image of the Company. The major component of 
the program is the management the corporate brand (trademark) of 
TATNEFT registered in all areas of the Company’s activity, including 
registration under the Madrid Agreement, and it is included in the 
international ranking of the most expensive brands. The program of 
strengthening the TATNEFT corporate brand is aimed at increasing 
its market value. As a result of this work TATNEFT brand joined the 
top 10 most valuable brands in the Russian rating of 2013 published 
by the International Agency, which is an authoritative expert in the 
management and evaluation of brands. The TATNEFT brand value 
was RUR 53.8 billion (RUR 17.6 billion in 2006).

2013 witnessed completion of the work to create a single intellectual 
property register of the JSC TATNEFT’s subsidiaries.

CORPORATE CONTROL 
AND INTERNAL AUDIT

The Unifi ed Intellectual Property Register of TATNEFT Group is 
designed to consolidate intellectual property data at the disposal 
of the subsidiaries and affi liates of JSC TATNEFT, created and 
registered objects, their current use and the economic effect. 
Application of the unifi ed register will allow the Company to handle 
the intellectual property in the most effi cient way through intensive 
involvement in the internal economic turnover, as well as through 
its commercialization. The greater part of the TATNEFT Group 
intellectual property refers to segments of crude oil production, 
refi ning and related activities and is subject to protection under the 
patent law, copyright and confi dentiality provisions (commercial 
confi dentiality).

ENERGY AND RESOURCE 
EFFICIENCY PROGRAM 
OF JSC TATNEFT 
FOR THE PERIOD TILL 2020 

JSC TATNEFT attaches particular importance to resource saving. In 
order to reduce production costs and, accordingly, the product cost, 
improve competitiveness in the situation of permanently escalating 
tariffs of natural monopolies (for energy resources, transport services) 
and increase hydrocarbon production costs resulting from complicat-
ing subsurface usage conditions the Company is taking integrated 
efforts to create a maximum allowance savings in all business areas, 
including energy conservation.

In 2011 the Company started the third phase execution of the resource 
saving program, which involved 25 entities of the TATNEFT Production 
Group of Companies. The main objective of the program is to reduce 
the absolute consumption of energy resources through the implemen-
tation of program activities by at least 7.4 % in the fi rst stage (2015) and 
by 13.5% in the second stage (2020) versus 2007. In accordance with 
the approved resource conservation program there were 594 activities 
executed during the period considered with 232 of them aimed at sav-
ing electric energy. Implementation of the resource conservation pro-
gram activities resulted saving more than 55,600 tons of reference fuel 
in 2013, which accounted for 4.9 % reduction in the Company’s need 
for fuel and energy resources. The major part of the energy resources 
savings falls on the electric power consumption savings.

The savings from measures aimed at reducing the consumption and ra-
tional use of material and natural resources amounted to RUR 4.7 billion 
in 2013. These funds were spent for compensation of additional costs 
associated with maintaining economic Company’s crude oil production 
under the conditions of high fi elds’ depletion. Successful performance 
of TATNEFT Company in the fi eld of resource saving and environment 
protection were distinguished by multiple awards of Republican «Re-
source Effi ciency. Energy Saving» and «ECOleader» contests.

LOGISTICS AND PROCUREMENT 
DEPARTMENT (MTO)

The Logistics and Procurement Department to support production 
operates on the principles of transparency and maximum effi ciency. 
In 2013, the Group continued centralization and further development 
of the consignment warehouses network, implementation of the 
Electronic Store project, and automation of procurement and supply 
processes.

CONSIGNMENT WAREHOUSING
Smooth logistics for the Companies and service entities is provided 
through consignment warehouses.

JSC TATNEFT operates 63 consignment warehouses. The volume 
of inventory items (inventory holdings) sales through consignment 
warehouses amounted to RUR 2,485 million in 2013 (2,315 million in 
2012).

The inventory holdings cost at the Tatneftesnab storage remaining 
in the ownership of the consignee until the delivery of goods to a 
structural unit amounted to RUR 270 million in the reporting year 
(RUR 233 million in 2012), which prevented diversion of working 
capital for creation and storage of the Company’s own reserves for 
this amount.

ELECTRONIC TRADING PLATFORM
In order to improve procurement activities of the TATNEFT Group 
of Companies, a complex electronic trading platform has been in 
operation since December 2009. Performance of procurement in 
the electronic form allows complying with fundamental principles 
of openness, transparency and equal competitive opportunities 
for suppliers, and selecting the winner for the best combined 
performance (quality, delivery terms and price). Starting from the 
second half of 2010, virtually all service subsidiaries of the TATNEFT 
Group of Companies carried out competitive bidding procedures 
through the electronic trading platform in terms of procurement. In 
future, the electronic trading platform will integrate all enterprises of 
the TATNEFT Group of Companies.

The Procurement and Logistics Department held 1,897 two-stage 
procurement procedures for a total of RUR 9,486 million in 2013 
(1,508 procedures for RUR 8,779 in 2012). The fi rst stage was the 
request for quotations, while the second stage was the auction for 
price reduction among participants who put the price on the whole 
lot. 1,237 auctions were held successfully for the amount of RUR 
4,409 million (865 procedures for RUR 3,660 million in 2012) with 
additional savings on the price determined at the fi rst stage in the 
amount of RUR 285.8 million (RUR 231 million in 2012).

During 2013 the Company’s subsidiaries and oil service enterprises 
performed 2,678 procurement procedures in the amount of RUR 
6,858 million (1,750 procedures for RUR 3,760 in 2012).

E-STORE
The fundamental solution for the Company’s logistics management 
was establishment of the E-Store, which is a tool of implementing 
the corporate technological policy in organizing procurement within 
the allocated budgets and funding in accordance with the supply 
calendar.

More than 80,000 applications (goods’ items) were placed through 
the E-Store from the structural divisions of the Company, its 
subsidiaries and affi liated companies in 2013.

CENTRALIZED SHIPMENT
The inventory worth RUR 19.5 billion (RUR 18.4 billion in 2012) was 
shipped according to the scheme of centralization in 2013, which 
was 6% more than in 2012.

The share of transport costs for centralized delivery in the cost of 
goods was reduced from 1.11% to 1.06%.

TRADE & TECHNICAL HOUSE OF JSC TATNEFT

CORPORATE MANAGEMENT

JSC TATNEFT

RISK MANAGEMENT

There is an integrated system of risk management operating in the 
Company based on the analysis and evaluation of possible factors that 
could affect indicators of production, fi nancial and economic activities 
of JSC TATNEFT and the Group’s enterprises, as well as cause direct 
or indirect impact on the current activity and/or strategic plans of the 
Company. The risk management also includes control over compli-
ance with uniform corporate standards regulating the main processes 
of production and fi nancial and economic activity of JSC TATNEFT and 
the Group’s enterprises

The corporate risk management system is designed to identify 
potential risks in order to take prompt measures to eliminate or 
minimize them, which allows adjusting business planning, investment 
activity and social policy of the Company. External, as well as internal 
factors are taken into account, when analyzing the risks. The internal 
corporate factors include management, production, HR, social, 
environmental and other aspects.

The external factors include market, industry, socio-economic, 
political, fi nancial, as well as competitive and other environment of 
the Company, its subsidiaries and affi liates activity

INDUSTRY RISKS
The Company has a comprehensive program of measures to over-
come adverse situations related to industry risks. This program pro-
vides for continuous monitoring, analysis and forecasting of oil prices 
with an appropriate adjustment of the strategic development plans, as 
well as it contains a range of technical and organizational measures 
that minimize the impact of technical and environmental risks.

Risk of oil and oil products prices:
Revenues, profi tability and future growth rates largely depend on 
existing prices for crude petroleum products. In the past year, oil 
prices varied widely with respect to changes of many factors. The 
factors causing this swing in particular include:
•  international and regional supply and demand (as well as 
expectations about future supply and demand) for oil and 
petroleum products;

•  uncertainty of the market;
•  weather conditions;
•  macroeconomic policy; 
•  international and regional economic situation;
•  national and foreign governmental regulation;
•  prices and availability of alternative fuels;
•  prices and availability of new technologies;
•  ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting 

Countries (OPEC) and other oil-producing countries to establish 
and maintain certain levels of crude oil production and prices;
•  political and economic developments in the oil producing regions 

and in particular in the Middle East;

•  normative acts and actions of the governments of Russia and 

other countries and international organizations, including export 
restrictions and taxes;

Technical risks:
Exploration, development and equipping of new fi elds, maintenance 
of existing wells operational condition, drilling of new wells, as 
well as oil transportation are a very complex and capital-intensive 
processes. Enhanced oil recovery also requires additional 
investments. In the future, as the depletion of the old fi elds grows, 
the role of special methods of oil recovery will increase. Accordingly, 
the cost of the fi elds’ development material and technical base 
the will also increase. The Company’s capability to maintain and 
increase crude oil production in the license areas are is dependent 
on the access to the technologies of oil recovery and technologies of 
enhanced oil recovery as well as success in their application. There 
is a Tatar Research and Design Institute of Oil (TatNIPIneft) in the 
composition of the Company, which is one of the leading scientifi c 
centers of Russia in the fi eld of prospecting and exploration, 
technology development for oil and gas exploration, production, 
oil treatment, oil facilities protection against corrosion, design and 
construction of oil fi elds, as well as construction of wells. TatNIPIneft 
activity allows the Company maintaining and strengthening 
the Company’s technological potential in the fi eld of crude oil 
production. 

Environmental Risks:
The oil and gas sector of the economy is subject to a high 
degree of environmental risks. Even when operating under 
current environmental standards of the Russian Federation and 
the Republic of Tatarstan there is a risk of penalties due to their 
violation. In addition, there is a risk of possible revision of the federal 
and regional environmental standards in the direction of further 
tightening.

The Company has a comprehensive program of measures to 
overcome adverse situations related to industry risks. The Company 
successfully implements a set of environmental measures aimed at 
minimizing the impact of industrial activity on the environment, and is 
one of the recognized leaders in Russia in this area.

COUNTRY AND REGIONAL RISKS
The Company has been registered as a taxpayer and conducts its 
main business activity in the Russian Federation.

The main production assets of the Company are located in and 
the main production activities are carried out in the territory of 
the Republic of Tatarstan, which is a constituent of the Russian 
Federation.

The political situation in the Russian Federation and the Republic of 
Tatarstan in particular is stable.

The risks of a possible military confl ict, a state of emergency or a 
major strike in the region of the Company are rated as low. At the 
same time, the Company approved procedures that may be applied 
in the case of an emergency to reduce the impact of this situation on 
the life, health and safety of workers as well as the production activity 
of the Company.

Effects of Infl ation:
The current infl ation rate has no signifi cant effect on the fi nancial 
position of the Company. In line with predicted infl ation, it should not 
have a material impact on the solvency of the Company, in particular, 
payments on the securities.

It is not possible to predict the critical rate of infl ation for the 
Company since in addition to the consumer price level it is necessary 
to take into account changes in the real purchasing power of the 
ruble, the situation on the Russian and international oil markets and 
future government policy on tariffs.

In recent years, the prices of crude oil and petroleum products used 
to remain continuously high. Prices for crude oil and petroleum 
products may not further increase and even might decrease. 
Falling prices for oil and peroleum products could adversely affect 
the results of operations and fi nancial condition of the Company. 
Falling prices may lead to a decrease in the volume of commercial 
oil produced by the Company, which will lead to a decrease in the 
effective development of the Company’s reserves and will reduce 
the cost-effectiveness of exploration programs.

It should be noted that at the moment, in the opinion of the 
Company, a signifi cant deterioration of the situation in the industry is 
not expected, given the stable level of oil consumption and the lack 
of alternative fuel sources on a mid-term horizon that could replace 
crue oil and petroleum products to any signifi cant extent. Therefore, 
the effect of possible deterioration of the situation in the industry 
on the fi nancial statements of the Company and the fulfi llment of 
obligations under the Company’s securities is unlikely.

LEGAL RISKS
The main activities of TATNEFT Group are performed within the 
Russian Federation. The legislation of the Russian Federation 
(including tax, corporate and use of natural resources) is undergoing 
changes, some of which may cause additional costs, diversion of 
resources, changes in the procedure of the Company’s and its 
divisions’ managing bodies formation and functioning. Responsible 
services of the Company carry out continuous monitoring of changes 
in the legislation, and take steps to comply with regulations and 
requirements, as well as take part in the consultative councils and 
other associations on legislative changes affecting the operations 
of TATNEFT Group of Companies. The Company is not a defendant 
in any action or claims, which proceedings could cause the 
Company to incur liability, which could have a material impact on the 
Company’s fi nancial position or performance

Geographical features of the region, major activities of the Company 
are not characterized by increased risk of natural disasters, which 
may have a signifi cant impact on normal production activities. In 
planning and execution of production, treatment, transportation and 
storage of crude oil and gas production, oil and gas products, as 
well as the materials involved in the production thereof, the Company 
takes into account geographical, including climate, specifi cs in the 
region of activity. In case of a negative impact on the activities of the 
Company, which may be caused by natural disasters, such as fl oods, 
earthquakes, mudslides, etc., the Company approved procedures 
and policies aimed at the prompt remedy of such effects. The 
Company has established procedures for monitoring with the use of 
modern technologies to prevent the possibility of adverse effects of 
natural phenomena and to inform people of the Company’s region of 
activity about the possibility of such damages. 

The Company’s region of core business is not remote from the 
viewpoint of transport and other infrastructure.

FINANCIAL RISKS
Signifi cant changes of the foreign currency exchange rates affect 
the Company’s liabilities denominated in such foreign currency. 
Signifi cant fl uctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates may 
cause changes, including unfavorable ones, in the Company’s 
liquidity ratio.

The macroeconomic situation deterioration and the increase in 
interest rates may result in changing the value of the Company’s 
interest expense on debt obligations. In particular, in the case of 
borrowings in the form of bank loans with a «fl oating» interest the rate 
rise in the general level of interest rates at the international market 
will increase the amount of funds to be paid as the interest that will 
adversely affect the Company’s fi nancial standing. Reduction of 
the interest rates, ceteris paribus, may reduce the effectiveness 
of the Company’s current borrowings at a fi xed interest rate. The 
Company continuously monitors the macroeconomic situation and 
takes necessary decisions to reduce the adverse macroeconomic 
developments impact on the Company’s activity and fi nancial 
standing. 

Currency Risk:
The Company is exposed to risks of adverse changes in exchange 
rates, the main of which is the strengthening of the ruble fl uctuation 
against the U.S. dollar. This is due to the fact that a signifi cant 
share of the Company’s revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars, 
while most of its expenses are denominated in RUR. Therefore, 
strengthening of the ruble against the dollar leads to a decrease in 
revenues of the Company in ruble terms, while the RUR weakening 
with maintaining other macroeconomic parameters, implies an 
increase in revenues in ruble terms. 

 As a whole the Company’s currency ineptness structure refl ects 
the structure of the Company’s revenues, which also reduces the 
dependence on the currency fl uctuations.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 
MANAGEMENT

The strategy of JSC TATNEFT in fi eld of IT is aimed at creating 
competitive advantages of the Company in the production, sales, 
administrative, economic, social and other Company’s activities. 

As of today there are information systems at JSC TATNEFT provided 
for virtually at all levels and stages of production, starting with 
automation systems at the level of a crew and production shop 
to the Company’s corporate top management level. The existing 
complexes have been integrated into a unifi ed information space. 

The information systems provide for real time recording, acquisition 
and analysis of tens of thousands readings, including information 
for decision making at the highest level, as well as generation of 
accounting documents. Information/analytical and situational 
centers have been created to provide for such working conditions, 
having in its composition competitive telecommunications, high-
quality information display facilities, multiple integrated data sources: 
from the remote control systems to analytical systems. Such centers 
have been established under the motto: Accurate information at the 
right time in the right place and in a convenient format.

The information technologies development level at JSC TATNEFT 
and the business maturity level allow speaking about an «intellectual 
fi eld». Attributes of such a fi eld include suffi cient automation of 
oilfi eld equipment, real time acquisition and delivery of telemetry 
data, as well as complex of automated systems to maintain control 
over the fi eld development based on monitoring key indicators 
and manage fi eld development processes. The «intellectual fi eld» 
development is always based on the ongoing hydrodynamic model.

Currently, there is a unique large-scale software and hardware 
solution applied at TATNEFT Group of Companies that provide for 
satellite technology based system of transport movement control. 
The problem was solved within this solution of monitoring the path, 
speed, mileage of vehicles. 

CORPORATE INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN ENSURING 
PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:
Information Analysis Portal of Well Construction
The system ensures a single information space providing for 
consolidation of data required in the process of wells construction 
from different information systems used in production activities for 
the well construction ordering customer. The data provided from the 
corporate information and telemetry systems allow the monitoring of 
the well drilling process general parameters, drilling direction control 
(geonavigation), control of technological surface drilling parameters 
and cementation process control.

ASU «Production Drilling Performance»
Processes of preparing main sections in elaborating the design of 
cluster projects for well construction, supervision of implementing 
design solutions for drilling fl uids, schedule maintenance for the

lead to hyper-growth of data volumes that are very diffi cult to 
process. Thousands of patents and hundreds of pilot projects lead 
to knowledge acquisition. The Company has started a project of 
generating a knowledge bank implementing the concept of «from 
data to knowledge».

Procedures of statistical and neural network analysis were 
implemented in 2013. The system web portal is capable of 
identifying substandard performance of measurement systems 
and oil facilities, calculate statistical similarity of measurement 
coeffi cients by wells and identify phenomena of date streams 
interrelation and interference on the basis of their analysis.

the vast majority of cases did not exceed the approved standards 
of maximum permissible concentrations of harmful substances in 
the waters of fi shery water bodies and sanitary standards for the 
maximum permissible concentration (MPC). Currently, there is a 
process of steady decline of their concentration in the groundwater.

Protection and Management of Land Resources
Optimal placement of oil facilities and prevention of violations in soil 
fertility are the top priorities for land conservation.

The Company performs scientifi c research, develops regulatory 
documentation, improves its equipment and technology, and takes 
special actions to reduce the anthropogenic impact on the soil.

168.1 km of oil pipelines and 95.8 km of waterlines were overhauled 
with the purpose of protecting the land, surface water and 
groundwater. Works were carried out using corrosion resistant 
pipes.

During the year the Company applied extensive efforts to reduce 
the areas of agricultural land allocation for the construction of oil 
facilities and restore fertility of disturbed land that has been achieved 
through the introduction of cluster drilling and well construction

Treatment of Industrial Waste
The Company continuously applies a lot of effort to reduce and 
utilize the waste generated during oil production processes through 
recycling, reuse and disposal.

The total amount of waste generated by the production decreased 
by 11.9 thousand tons versus 2012 and amounted to 69.5 thousand 
tons. The specifi c waste generation per 1 ton of oil was 2.66 kg in 
2013.

In 2013, JSC TATNEFT collected and sent for recycling 40.55 tons of 
metal scrap / which was 14.7 thousand tons more than in 2012.

A network of local observation points over water bodies operates 
within JSC TATNEFT’s license areas.

The observation system currently consists of 2,688 sampling points. 
This includes 564 observation points of surface bodies (springs, 
rivers, water pools) and 2,124 observation points of underground 
water bodies (artesian boreholes and wells).

Water analysis is performed for the following parameters, which are 
characteristic for crude oil production: chloride ions, sulfate ions, 
total hardness, hydro-carbonates, pH, calcium, anionic surface-
active agents (surfactants), oil and oil products in the dissolved and 
emulsifi ed condition.

In 2013, the central chemical analytical laboratory of the 
Administration for Preparation of Process Liquid performed 11,094 
tests of selected water samples.

Total number of natural water analyses performed in the Company 
amounted to more than 120,000 of in 2013.

ESSENTIAL ASPECTS OF THE 
ACCOUNTING POLICY AND 
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS FOR 2013

MAIN APPROACHES TO PREPARATION 
OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial accounting in the Company is performed in accordance 
withFederal Law No.402-FZ of December 06, 2011 “On Accounting”, 
Provision on Accounting and Reporting in the Russian Federation approved 
by Order of the Russian Federation Ministry of Finance No.34n dated July 
29, 1998,current accounting regulations (RAS), as well as the accounting 
policy of the Company.Financial statements of the Company for 2013were 
prepared in compliance with mentioned Law, accounting regulations and 
policy, as well as the assumption of the organization activity continuity. 
Annual fi nancial statements for 2013 were compiled according to the 
forms developed and approved by the Company in accordance with the 
Order of the Ministry of Finance No. 66n of July 02, 2010 «About formats 
for corporate fi nancial statements». The data in fi nancial statements is 
presented in thousands of rubles.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES DENOMINATED 
IN FOREIGN CURRENCY

Accounting for assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
is carried out in accordance withRAS 3/2006, «Accounting of Assets and 
Liabilities Denominated in Foreign Currencies», and approved by Order 
No. 154n of November 27, 2006of the FinanceMinistry of the Russian 
Federation.

The exchange rate difference is refl ected in the accounting and fi nancial 
statements for the concerned reporting period with the due date of 
payment or which the fi nancial statements were executed for.

The exchange rate difference arising from conversion of the organization’s 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency used for performing 
activities outside the Russian Federation into rubles is credited to the 
organization’s capital surplus.

The exchange rate difference on other activitiesis credited to fi nancial 
results of the organization as other income and expenses. The currency 
exchange rate gains and losses are recognized in the Profi t and Loss 
account in the «Other income» or «Other expenses».

For accounting business transactions in foreign currencies there was the 
offi cial exchange rateappliedof the foreign currency to the ruble valid on 
the date of transaction. Cash on foreign currency accounts in banks and 
on hand, fi nancial investments (except shares), and settlement funds in 
foreign currencies (except the funds received and paid advances and 
pre-payment or earnest money) are refl ected in the fi nancial statements 
as amounts calculated on the basis of the currency offi cial exchange rates 
valid on December 31, 2013. The currency exchange rates on this date 
amounted to RUR 32.7292to USD 1.00 (RUR 30.3727 as of December 
31, 2012;RUB 32.1961 as of December 31, 2011); RUR 44.9699to 
EURO1.00(RUR 40.2286 as of December 31, 2012, RUR 41.6714as of 
December 31, 2011).

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As a part of intangible assets there are software programs for 
computersrefl ected; inventions; useful models; production secrets (know-
how); trademarks and service marks, licenses for mineral geological 
exploration and production, and licenses for mineral production.

Intangible assets are refl ected in the accounting records at historic cost 
in that reporting period when received the documents confi rming the 
Company’s exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity or means 
of individualization irrespective of intangible assets used in production, 
performance of works or rendering of services, for administrative purposes.

The original cost of intangible assets acquired under the contracts 
providing for execution of non-monetary obligations, is determined 
based on the value of the assets transferred or subject to transfer by the 
organization. The cost of the assets transferred or subject to transfer is 
set on the basis of the price, at which the value of similar assets is usually 
determined in comparable circumstances.

If it is impossible to establish the value of assets transferred or subject to 
transfer by the organization, then the value of obtained intangible assets 
is determined based on the price, at which similar intangible assets are 
usually purchased.

The value of intangible assets shall be repaid by the straight-line 
depreciation method at the rates specifi ed on the basis of the due date of 
the useful life.

Depreciation is not charged for intangible assets with an indefi nite period of 
the useful life.

Depreciation charging is performed through accumulation of appropriate 
amounts in a separate account. Depreciation on intangible assets is 
refl ected in the accounting period, which they refer to and is charged 
regardless of the organization’soperating results in the reporting period. 

The useful life of intangible assets is annually verifi ed for the purpose 
of clarifi cation. In case of substantial change of the period duration (by 
more than twenty percent) within which the asset is intended to be used, 
its useful life is defi ned. The resulting adjustments are refl ected in the 
accounting and fi nancial reporting at the beginning of the year as changes 
in the estimated values.

Value adjustment of intangible assets of homogeneous groups is not 
performed.

EXPENSES FOR RESEARCH& DEVELOPMENT, 
DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING WORKS
Expenses for the research & development, development and engineering 
worksare accounted in the amount of actual expenses incurred during 
performance of these works.

The expenses for the research & development, development and 
engineering works which have produced positive results and started to be 
used in the work are expensed written off as expenses of ordinary activities 
starting with the month following the month when the company started 
the actual application of the mentioned works results in the production 
manufacturing (work performance, service rendering) or for administrative 
needs of the organization.

Writing off the costs of each performed research & development, 
development and engineering workwhich have produced positive results 
is made during the useful life of R & D results (which should not exceed 5 
years).

The expenses for the research & development, development and 
engineering workswhich have not produced positive results are written off 
to the fi nancial result as miscellaneous expenses in the reporting period.

EXPLORATION ASSETS
The Company considers the following to be exploration assets as a part of 
tangible exploration assets:
•  expenses for acquisition and construction of prospecting, exploration and 

When confi rming the commercial feasibility of oil production in the licensed 
block of mineral resources the Company performs reclassifi cation of 
exploration assets:
•  tangible exploration assets are included in the category of fi xed assets at 

advance producing wells, as well as other oilfi eld facilities;

residual value;

•  expenses for acquisition and rig-up of the equipment for prospecting, 

•  intangible exploration assets are included in the category of intangible 

exploration and advance producing operation wells.

assets at residual value.

According to the Company the intangible exploration assets include the 
following types of exploration costs:
•  acquisition costs of licenses for geological study of subsurface, licenses 

for geological exploration and production of mineral resources;

•  costs of prospecting, evaluation and exploration of mineral resources: 
expenses for geological, geochemical, geophysical works, as well as 
expenses for acquiring geological information on the subsurface from 
the third parties, including state authorities, and expenses for drilling key, 
appraisal and structure wells.

The Company considers the following exploration costs as expenses 
for regular types of activity: expenses for maintenance of the structural 
divisions organized solely for or performance and coordination of works on 
exploration, evaluation and prospecting of mineral resources, as well as 
expenses for maintenance and repair of tangible exploration assets.

Tangible exploration assets are depreciated by straight-line depreciation 
method during the period of their useful life.

Depreciation costs for targets of tangible exploratory assets are included in 
the costs of prospecting, evaluation and exploration of mineral resources 
for relevant license blocks.

Intangible exploration assets as licenses for geological subsurface study 
are depreciated by straight-linemethod during the period of their useful 
application.Depreciation costs for aforementioned targets are included in 
the costs of prospecting, evaluation and exploration of mineral resources 
for relevant subsurface areas.

Acquisition costs incurred for exploration and mininglicenses, as well as 
the costs of prospecting, evaluation and exploration of mineral resources 
are not depreciated until the commercial feasibility of oil production is 
confi rmed in the relevant license block of mineral resources and approval 
of the order of commercialfi eld development.

The commercial feasibility of oil production is considered to be confi rmed 
at the moment of approval of the reservoir management plan in the license 
area of mineral resources.

The Company performs annual verifi cation of exploration assets 
depreciation as of December 31 of the calendar year, as well as in the case 
of cessation of their recognition when confi rming commercial feasibility of 
oil production in the relevant license block.

JSC TATNEFT writes off the exploration assets to other expenses,if they are 
not able to provide economic benefi ts in the future.

FIXED ASSETS
Land plots, buildings, facilities, machinery, equipment, transport vehicles 
and other relevant assets of over 12 months asset life and cost over 40,000 
rubles are refl ected in the fi xed assets.

The Company annually revaluates fi xed assets based on the current value 
(replacement asset value) at the end of the reporting period.

Fixed assets put into operation before January 1, 2002 are depreciated 
at uniform depreciation rates approved by Decree No.1072 of the 
USSRCouncil of Ministers dated October 22, 1990 «On Uniform 
Depreciation Rates of Full Cost Recovery of Fixed Assets of the USSR 
National Economy»; and those assets put into operation from January 1, 
2002 are depreciated at the rates calculated on the basis of useful life. The 
classifi cation of fi xed assets included in depreciation groups approved by 
the Order No. 1 of the Government of Russian Federation dated January 
01, 2002 is used as one of the informationsources about the useful life 
periods.

Forthispurposethe following usefullife periodsare specifi ed forfi xedassets 
(put into operation starting from January 1, 2002) by depreciation groups:

For the purposes of verifying exploration assets for depreciation the 
aforementioned assets are categorized by mineral resource blocks 
indicated in the licenses.

The straight line depreciation method is used for depreciation calculations.

Depreciation is not charged on land plots and natural resources sites.

Impairment loss of exploration assetsis refl ected in the profi t-and-loss 
statement in line code «Other expenses». Furthermore the Company 
applies the reversal of impairment lossto exploration assets.

Changingthe original value offi xed assets as they were included for 
accounting purposes is allowed in cases of completion, retrofi t, renovation, 
modernization, partial liquidation and revaluation of the fi xed assets.

The Company ceases recognition of exploration assets in relation to a 
certain licensed block of mineral resources when confi rming commercial 
feasibility of oil production in the relevant licensed block or recognizing lack 
of prospects of mineral resources production in this area.

In accordance with Article 11 of RAS 6/01 «Accounting of Fixed Assets» 
there are the following methods of estimation of objects of fi xed assets 
received under contracts providing for execution of obligations (payment) 
by non-monetary assets:
•  at the cost of goods (values) transferred or transferable. The cost of goods 
(values) transferred or transferableis determined on the basis of the price, 
which under comparable circumstances usually determines the cost of 
similar goods (values);

•  if impossible to establish the cost of goods (values) transferred or 

transferable, then the cost of fi xed assets received under contracts 
providingfor execution of obligations (payment) by non-monetary assetsis 
determined on the basis of the price, which is paid to acquire similar fi xed 
assetsunder comparable circumstances.

Repair expenses of fi xed assets items are included at actual costs and 
referred to the reporting period in which they were done.

The line of «Construction in progress» includes the costs of construction 
and erection works, acquisition of buildings, facilities, equipment and other 
tangible objects of long-term use, other capital works and expenses. This 
line refl ects the cost of capital construction projects before their putting 
into operation, after which the structures are transferred into fi xed assets.

In addition to this, the «Construction in progress» line refl ects the costs 
associated with the lease of land for construction of future wells.

Leased fi xed assets are refl ected in the line «Income-bearing Investments 
in Tangible Assets».

FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS
Financial investments are accepted for accounting at original cost. 

Financial investments defi ning the fair market value are refl ected in the 
fi nancial statements as of the end of the reporting year at current market 
value by adjusting their evaluation on the previous reporting date. 

Financial investments for which there is no defi nition of the fair market value 
are refl ected in fi nancial statements as of the reporting date at original cost 
after deduction of the reserve amount formed for their depreciation.

Financial investments are refl ected as part of the current assets if the 
expected duration of their possession is less than 12 months after the 
reporting date. Other fi nancial investments are included in fi xed assets.

The costs of information, advisory services, valuation services and other 
similar services related to taking a decision on acquisition of fi nancial 
investments made prior to the acquisition of fi nancial investments are 
recorded in the line of «Other Current Assets» (if the decision to acquire the 
investments is made within 12 months from the date of the expenditure). In 
other cases they are included in the line of «Other Non-Current Assets».

On disposal of fi nancial investments for which the current market value 
cannot be determined, their value is formed on the basis of the assessment 
determined by:
• on disposal of shares or bonds - at original cost of the fi rst-time fi nancial 
investments acquisition (FIFO method);
• on disposal of bills - at original cost of each unit of fi nancial investments 
accounting.

The cost of information, advisory services, valuation services and other 
similar services related to the disposal of fi nancial investments made prior 
to the fi nancial investments disposal are refl ected in the line of «Other 
Current Assets».

On disposal of fi nancial investments, for which the current market value is 
not determined, their value is determined by the organization on the basis 
of the last assessment.

Gains and losses of fi nancial investments disposal are refl ected in the profi t 
and loss statement as part of other income and expenses.

REPO transactions are refl ected in the fi nancial statements as giving or 
receiving a loan against securities.

INVENTORIES
«Raw Materials and Supplies» line of the balance sheet refl ects raw 
materials, basic and auxiliary materials, purchased semi-fi nished products 
and components, fuel, packaging, spare parts, construction and other 
materials.

The line of the inventories also refl ects the assets, which meet the 
conditions necessary for the recognizing them as fi xed assets of the cost 
no more than 40,000 rubles per unit.

The inventories are recorded at the actual cost of their acquisition with the 
exception of VAT and other recoverable taxes (except as provided by the 
legislation of the Russian Federation). Disposal of the inventories is carried 
at the average cost.

The inventories, which are obsolete, wholly or partially have lost their 
original quality, or which current market value is decreased, are refl ected in 
the balance sheet less the reserve provision for impairment of the material 
values.

WORK IN PROGRESS, FINISHED PRODUCTS, 
GOODS AND SALES EXPENSES 
Expenditures incurred for performance of activities under the Agreement 
for the exploration and production sharing with Libya during the exploration

The amount of monthly payments under the estimated liability is 
determined based on the monthly deduction payments and the actual 
expenses amount of the labor costs. Percentage of contributions under

expenditure for the labor payment to the planned total labor costs.

Based on the Provision «Estimated Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and 
Contingent Assets (RAS 8/2010)» becoming effective the Company 
introduced amendments in terms of recognizing estimated liabilities to the

the unused vacation for each employee of the average daily earnings and 
insurance premiums accrued on the specifi ed reserve.

The actual amount of the vacation allowance (including the compensation 
amount for unused vacation) accrued to the employee in the accounting is

organization’s cash fl ows and cash equivalents in foreign currency 
exchange rates on different dates are refl ected in the cash fl ows 
statement as the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes 
against the ruble.

buyers and customers, payments to suppliers and contractors 
and payments to the budget system of the Russian Federation or

the loan agreement (credit agreement) in the amount of actually received 
monetary assets or in cost estimate of other items stipulated by the 
contract.

Indebtedness under received loans and borrowings as well as accrued 
interest is refl ected in the balance sheet line of «Borrowings».

Indebtedness under received loans and borrowings as well as accrued 
interest for accounting is divided into short-term indebtedness (which 
repayment period does not exceed 12 months under the terms of contract) 
and long-term indebtedness (the repayment period of which is over 12 
months under the terms of contract).

and/or creation of the investment asset are included in the cost of the asset 
and are repaid through depreciation except where charging of the asset 
depreciation is not provided by the accounting rules.

value of the investment asset is terminated on the fi rst day of the month 
following the month of accepting the asset for accounting as a fi xed asset, 
intangible asset or R & D expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(in millions of Russian Roubles)

NOTE 1: 
ORGANISATION

OAO Tatneft (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (jointly referred to as “the 
Group”) are engaged in crude oil exploration, development and production 
principally in the Republic of Tatarstan (“Tatarstan”), a republic within the 
Russian Federation. The Group also engages in refi ning and marketing 
of crude oil and refi ned products as well as production and marketing of 
petrochemicals (see Note 22).

The Company was incorporated as an open joint stock company effective 
1 January 1994 (the “privatization date”) pursuant to the approval of the 
State Property Management Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan 
(the “Government”). All assets and liabilities previously managed by the 
production association Tatneft, Bugulminsky Mechanical Plant, Menzelinsky 
Exploratory Drilling Department and Bavlinsky Drilling Department were 
transferred to the Company at their book value at the privatization date in 
accordance with Decree No. 1403 on Privatization and Restructuring of 
Enterprises and Corporations into Joint-Stock Companies. Such transfers 
were considered transfers between entities under common control at the 
privatization date, and were recorded at book value. 

The Group does not have an ultimate controlling party.

As of 31 December 2013 and 2012 OAO Svyazinvestneftekhim, a company 
wholly owned by the government of Tatarstan, together with its subsidiary, 
holds approximately 36% of the Company’s voting stock. These shares 
were contributed to OAO Svyazinvestneftekhim by the Ministry of Land and 
Property Relations of Tatarstan in 2003. Tatarstan also holds a “Golden 
Share”, a special governmental right, in the Company (see Note 19). The 
exercise of its powers under the Golden Share enables the Tatarstan 
government to appoint one representative to the Board of Directors and 
one representative to the Revision Committee of the Company as well as 
to veto certain major decisions, including those relating to changes in the 
share capital, amendments to the Charter, liquidation or reorganization of 
the Company and “major” and “interested party” transactions as defi ned 
under Russian law. The Golden Share currently has an indefi nite term. The 
Tatarstan government, including through OAO Svyazinvestneftekhim, also 
controls or exercises signifi cant infl uence over a number of the Company’s 
suppliers and contractors. 

The Company is domiciled in the Russian Federation. The address of its 
registered offi ce is Lenina St., 75, Almet’evsk, Tatarstan Republic, Russian 
Federation.

NOTE 2: 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

The accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The 
Group fi rst adopted IFRS for the fi scal year ended 31 December 2012, with a 
date of transition to IFRS on 1 January 2011.

These consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared on a historical 
cost basis, except certain fi nancial assets and liabilities measured at fair 
value. 

The entities of the Group maintain their accounting records and prepare their 
statutory fi nancial statements principally in accordance with the Regulations 
on Accounting and Reporting of the Russian Federation (“RAR”). The 
accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared from 
these accounting records and adjusted as necessary to comply with IFRS. 
The principal differences between RAR and IFRS relate to: (1) valuation 
(including indexation for the effect of hyperinfl ation in the Russian Federation 
through 2002) and depreciation of property, plant and equipment; (2) 
foreign currency translation; (3) deferred income taxes; (4) valuation 
allowances for unrecoverable assets; (5) consolidation; (6) share based 
payment; (7) accounting for oil and gas properties; (8) recognition and 
disclosure of guarantees, contingencies and commitments; (9) accounting 
for decommissioning provision; (10) pensions and other post retirement 
benefi ts and (11) business combinations and goodwill.

The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the 
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to 
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting 
policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are signifi cant to the consolidated 
fi nancial statements are disclosed in Note 4.  

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifi cations have been made to previously reported balances to 
conform to the current year presentation; such reclassifi cations had no effect 
on net income profi t for the year, shareholders’ equity or cash fl ows. 

NOTE 3: 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY. 
The presentation currency of the Group is the Russian rouble.

Management has determined the functional currency for each 
consolidated subsidiary of the Group, except for subsidiaries located 
outside of the Russian Federation, is the Russian Rouble because the 
majority of its revenues, costs, property and equipment purchased, debt 
and trade liabilities are either priced, incurred, payable or otherwise 
measured in Russian Roubles. Accordingly, transactions and balances not 
already measured in Russian Roubles (primarily US Dollars) have been re-
measured into Russian Roubles in accordance with the relevant provisions 
of IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Under IAS 21 revenues, costs, capital and non-monetary assets and 
liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing on the 
transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at 
exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Exchange gains and 
losses arising from re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities that 
are not denominated in Russian Roubles are recognized in the profi t or loss 
for the year. 

For operations of subsidiaries located outside of the Russian Federation, 
that primarily use US Dollar as the functional currency, adjustments 
resulting from translating foreign functional currency assets and 
liabilities into Russian Roubles are recorded in a separate component of 
shareholders’ equity entitled foreign currency translation adjustments. 
Revenues, expenses and cash fl ows are translated at average exchange 
rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the 
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which 
case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the 
transactions). 

The offi cial rate of exchange, as published by the Central Bank of 
Russia (“CBR”), of the Russian Rouble (“RR”) to the US Dollar (“US $”) 
at 31 December 2013 and 2012 was RR 32.73 and RR 30.37 to US $, 
respectively. Average rate of exchange for the years ended 31 December 
2013 and 2012 were RR 31.85 and RR 31.09 per US $, respectively.

CONSOLIDATION
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group 
controls an entity when the Group has the power to direct relevant activities 
of the investee that signifi cantly affect their returns, exposed to, or has rights 
to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to 
affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully 
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They 
are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for 
business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition 
of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities 
incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration 
transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from 
a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition – related costs are 
expensed as incurred. Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and 
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured 
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition 
basis at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any 
previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifi able 
net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration 
transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held 
interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the 
subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is 
recognised directly in the profi t and loss for the year.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on 
transactions between Group companies are eliminated. 

ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
Associates and joint ventures are entities over which the Group has 
signifi cant infl uence (directly or indirectly), but not control, generally 
accompanying a shareholding of between 20 and 50 percent of the voting 
rights. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for 
using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. 
Dividends received from associates and joint ventures reduce the carrying 
value of the investment in associates and joint ventures. Other post-
acquisition changes in Group’s share of net assets of an associate and joint 
ventures are recognised as follows: (i) the Group’s share of profi ts or losses 
of associates or joint ventures is recorded in the consolidated profi t or loss 
for the year as share of result of associates or joint ventures, (ii) the Group’s 
share of other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive 
income and presented separately, (iii); all other changes in the Group’s 
share of the carrying value of net assets of associates or joint ventures are 
recognised in profi t or loss within the share of result of associates or joint 
ventures.

However, when the Group’s share of losses in an associate or joint venture 
equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, including 
any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further 
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of 
the associate or joint venture. 

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates 
and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in 
the associates and joint ventures; unrealised losses are also eliminated 
unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset 
transferred. 

The Group reviews equity method investments for impairment on an annual 
basis, and records impairment when circumstances indicate that the 
carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount.

CURRENT/NON-CURRENT PRESENTATION
Group presents current and non-current assets, and current and non-
current liabilities, as separate classifi cations in its Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Position.

Group discloses for each asset and liability line item that combines 
amounts expected to be recovered or settled in period no more than 12 
months after the reporting period are disclosed as current; and more than 
12 months after the reporting period as non-current.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash represents cash on hand and in bank accounts, which can be 
effectively withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Cash equivalents 
include highly liquid short-term investments that can be converted to a 
certain cash amount and mature within three months or less from the date 
of purchase. They are recognized based on the cost of acquisition which 
approximates fair value.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

JSC TATNEFT

RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represents cash deposited under letter of credit 
arrangements, which are restricted under various contractual agreements. 
Letters of credit are used to pay contractors for materials, equipment and 
services provided. Restricted balances are excluded from cash and cash 
equivalents for the purposes of the consolidated statements of fi nancial 
position and of the consolidated statement of cash fl ows and disclosed 
separately.

FINANCIAL ASSETS
All fi nancial assets are initially recognised when an entity becomes a party 
to the contract, they recognised at fair value plus, in the case of investments 
not at fair value through profi t or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. 
The Group‘s fi nancial assets include cash and cash equivalents, deposits, 
securities, trade and other receivables, loans issued. 

Financial assets have the following categories: (a) loans and receivables; 
(b) available-for-sale fi nancial assets; (c) fi nancial assets at fair value 
through profi t or loss.

LOANS AND RECEIVABLES
Loans and receivables is a category of fi nancial assets with fi xed or deter-
minable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to 
initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. The accrued 
interest is included in the profi t and losses for the year.

Allowances are provided for estimated losses and for doubtful debts 
based on estimates of uncollectible amounts. These estimates require the 
exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions.

The losses arising from impairment are recognized as selling, general and 
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of profi t or loss and 
other comprehensive income.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
A fi nancial asset is classifi ed at fair value through profi t or loss category if it is 
classifi ed as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. 
Financial assets are designated at fair value through profi t or loss if the 
Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions 
based on their fair value in accordance with the Group’s documented risk 
management or investment strategy. Financial assets at fair value through 
profi t or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized 
in profi t and loss for the year.

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are non-derivative fi nancial assets that 
are designated as available-for-sale or are not classifi ed in any of the above 
categories of fi nancial assets. Available-for-sale fi nancial assets include 
investment securities which the Group intends to hold for an indefi nite period 
of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes 
in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.

Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and chang-
es therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on 
available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive 
income and presented within equity. Unquoted equity instruments whose fair 
value cannot be measured reliably are carried at cost less any impairment 
losses. When an investment is derecognized the cumulative gain or loss in 
equity is also reclassifi ed to profi t and loss for the year.

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective 
evidence that a fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired. 
Prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is 
considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such 
evidence exists for available-for-sale fi nancial assets, the cumulative loss 
(measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current 
fair value, less any impairment loss on that fi nancial asset previously 
recognized in the other comprehensive income) is recognized in the 
profi t and loss for the year as a reclassifi cation adjustment from other 
comprehensive income. 

120

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
All fi nancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case 
of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The 
Group’s fi nancial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and 
borrowings. 

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, these fi nancial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method. 

A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability 
is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing fi nancial liability 
is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different 
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modifi ed, such 
an exchange or modifi cation is treated as a derecognition of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the 
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profi t and loss for the 
year.

The Group does not use derivative fi nancial instruments.

The Group does not offset assets and liabilities unless required or 
permitted to by an IFRS. 

INVENTORIES
Inventories of crude oil, refi ned oil products, materials and supplies, and 
fi nished goods are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net 
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 
business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. The 
Group uses the weighted-average-cost method. Costs include both direct 
and indirect expenditures incurred in bringing an item or product to its 
existing condition and location.

PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses include advances for purchases of products and services, 
insurance fees, prepayments for export duties, VAT and other taxes. 
Prepayments are carried at cost less provision for impairment. 

Prepayments to acquire assets are transferred to the carrying amount 
of the asset once the Group has obtained control of the asset and it is 
probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the asset will fl ow to 
the Group. Prepayments for services such as insurance, transportation and 
others are written off to profi t or loss when the goods or services relating to 
the prepayments are received. 

If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services relating to a 
prepayment will not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment 
is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is 
recognised  in the profi t or loss for the year.

MINERAL EXTRACTION TAX
Mineral extraction tax (MET) on crude oil is defi ned monthly as an amount 
of volume produced per fi xed tax rate (RR 470 and RR 446 per ton in 2013 
and 2012, respectively) adjusted depending on the monthly average market 
prices of the Urals blend and the RR/US $ exchange rate for the preceding 
month. The base tax rate formula for MET is modifi ed by benefi t for fi elds 
whose depletion rate exceeds 80% of proved reserves as determined under 
Russian resource classifi cation. The Company receives a benefi t of 3.5% per 
fi eld for each percent of depletion in excess of the 80% threshold. 

The ultimate amount of the MET on crude oil depends also on geographic 
location of the oil fi eld (for certain regions zero tax rate may be applied 
depending on the volume of crude oil produced and period of fi eld 
development). Also a zero MET tax rate applies to the production of highly 
viscous crude oil (defi ned as crude oil of more than 200 Megapascal 
second in reservoir conditions). 

MET is recorded within Taxes other than income tax in the Consolidated 
Statements of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

VALUE ADDED TAX
Value added tax (VAT) at a standard rate of 18% is payable on the difference 
between output VAT on sales of goods and services and recoverable input 
VAT charged by suppliers. Output VAT is charged on the earliest of the 
dates: either the date of the shipment of goods (works, services) or the 
date of advance payment by the buyer. Input VAT can be recovered when 
purchased goods (works, services) are accounted for and other necessary 
requirements provided by the tax legislation are met. 

Export of goods and rendering certain services related to exported goods 
are subject to 0% VAT rate upon the submission of confi rmation documents 
to the tax authorities. 

VAT related to sales and purchases is recognized in the Consolidated 
Statements of Financial Position on a gross basis and disclosed separately 
as Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Taxes payable.

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT COST
Oil and gas exploration and development activities are accounted for 
using the successful efforts method whereby costs of acquiring unproved 
and proved oil and gas property as well as costs of drilling and equipping 
productive wells, including development dry holes, and related production 
facilities are capitalized. 

Other exploration expenses, including geological and geophysical 
expenses and the costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, 
are expensed as incurred. The costs of exploratory wells that fi nd oil and 
gas reserves are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets on a 
“fi eld by fi eld” basis pending determination of whether proved reserves 
have been found. In an area requiring a major capital expenditure before 
production can begin, exploratory well remains capitalized if additional 
exploration drilling is underway or fi rmly planned. Exploration costs not 
meeting these criteria are charged to expense.

Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes at the lowest level 
for which there are identifi able cash fl ows that are largely independent 
of the cash fl ows of other groups of assets - generally on a fi eld-by-fi eld 
basis for exploration and production assets, at an entire complex level for 
refi ning assets or at a site level for service stations. Impairment losses are 
recognised in the profi t or loss for the year. 

Impairments are reversed as applicable to the extent that the events or 
circumstances that triggered the original impairment have changed. The 
reversal of impairment would be limited to the original carrying value 
less depreciation which would have been otherwise charged had the 
impairment not been recorded. 

Long-lived assets committed by management for disposal within one year, 
and meet the other criteria for held for sale, are accounted for at the lower 
of amortized cost or fair value, less cost to sell. Costs of unproved oil and 
gas properties are evaluated periodically and any impairment assessed is 
charged to expense.

The Group calculates depreciation expense for oil and gas proved 
properties using the units-of-production method for each fi eld based upon 
proved developed oil and gas reserves, except in the case of signifi cant 
asset components whose useful life differs from the lifetime of the fi eld, in 
which case the straight-line method is applied.

Oil and gas licenses for exploration of unproved reserves are capitalised 
within property, plant and equipment; they are depreciated on straight-line 
basis over the period of each license validity. 

Depreciation of all other property, plant and equipment is determined 
on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives which are as 
follows:

Exploration and evaluation costs are subject to technical, commercial and 
management review as well as review for impairment at least once a year to 
confi rm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value from the 
discovery. When indicators of impairment are present, resulting impairment 
loss is measured.

Buildings and constructions

Machinery and equipment

YEARS

30-50

10-35

If subsequently commercial reserves are discovered, the carrying value, 
less losses from impairment of respective exploration and evaluation 
assets, is classifi ed as development assets. However, if no commercial 
reserves are discovered, such costs are expensed after exploration and 
evaluation activities have been completed.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost of acquisition 
or construction less accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and 
impairment.

Proved oil and gas properties include the initial estimate of the costs 
of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it 
is located. The cost of maintenance, repairs and replacement of minor 
items of property are expensed when incurred within operating expenses; 
renewals and improvements of assets are capitalised and depreciated 
during the remaining useful life. Cost of replacing major parts or 
components of property, plant and equipment items are capitalised and the 
replaced part is retired.

Advances made on property, plant and equipment and construction in 
progress are accounted for within Construction in progress.

Long-lived assets, including proved oil and gas properties at a fi eld 
level, are assessed for possible impairment in accordance with IAS 36 
Impairment of assets, which requires long-lived assets with recorded 
values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash fl ows to 
be written down to their recoverable amount which is the higher of fair value 
less costs to sell and value-in-use.  

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are 
determined by comparing proceeds, if any, with the carrying amount. Gains 
and losses are recorded in Gain/(loss) on disposals of property, plant and 
equipment, investments and impairments in the Consolidated Statements 
of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

CAPITALISATION OF BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or 
production of assets that necessarily take a substantial time to get ready for 
intended use or sale (qualifying assets) are capitalised as part of the costs of 
those assets. 

The Group capitalises borrowing costs that could have been avoided 
if it had not made capital expenditure on qualifying assets. Borrowing 
costs capitalised are calculated at the Group’s average funding cost 
(the weighted average interest cost is applied to the expenditures on the 
qualifying assets), except to the extent that funds are borrowed specifi cally 
for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. Where this occurs, actual 
borrowing costs incurred less any investment income on the temporary 
investment of those borrowings are capitalised.  

Capitalisation of borrowing costs includes capitalising foreign exchange 
differences relating to borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an 
adjustment to interest costs. The gains and losses that are an adjustment 
to interest costs include the interest rate differential between borrowing 
costs that would be incurred if the entity borrowed funds in its functional 
currency, and borrowing costs actually incurred on foreign currency 
borrowings.

JSC TATNEFT

The portion of the foreign exchange movements is estimated based on 
interest rates on similar borrowing in the Group’s functional currency. The 
foreign exchange gains and losses eligible for capitalisation are assessed 
on a cumulative basis.

Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues up to the date when the assets 
are substantially ready for their use or sale.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, PENSION 
AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Wages, salaries, contributions to the social insurance funds, paid annual 
leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefi ts (such as health 
services and kindergarten services) are accrued in the year in which the 
associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group. The Group 
has various pension plans covering substantially all eligible employees 
and members of management. The pension liabilities are measured at the 
present value of the estimated future cash outfl ows using interest rates of 
government securities, which have the same currency and terms to maturity 
approximating the terms of the related liability. Pension costs are recognised 
using the projected unit credit method.

The cost of providing pensions is accrued and charged to staff expense 
within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Profi t or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income refl ecting the cost of benefi ts as they are 
earned over the service lives of employees.

Actuarial gains and losses with regard to post employment benefi t plans are 
recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. Actuarial gains and 
losses related to other long-term benefi ts are recognised immediately in the 
profi t or loss for the year.

Past service costs are recognised as an expense immediately.  

Plan assets are measured at fair value and are subject to certain limitations. 
Fair value of plan assets is based on market prices. When no market price 
is available the fair value of plan assets is estimated by different valuation 
techniques, including discounted expected future cash fl ow using a discount 
rate that refl ects both the risk associated with the plan assets and maturity or 
expected disposal date of these assets.

In the normal course of business the Group contributes to the Russian 
Federation State Pension Fund on behalf of its employees. Mandatory 
contributions to the Fund are expensed when incurred and are included 
within staff costs in operating expenses.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a share-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) for senior 
management and directors of the Company. Under the provisions of the 
Plan, share-based bonus awards (“Awards”) are issued on an annual basis to 
the Company’s directors and senior management as approved by the Board 
of Directors. Each Award provides a cash payment at the settlement date 
equal to one of the Company’s common shares multiplied by the difference 
between the lowest share price for the preceding three years as of the grant 
date and the highest share price for the preceding three years as of each 
year-end.  Share prices are measured based on the weighted average 
daily trading price as reported on the Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS 
(MOEX). Awards are subject to individual annual performance conditions 
and are generally settled within 90 days after the Company’s Management 
Committee approval.

The liability at 31 December 2013 and 2012 is determined based on the fi nal 
expected bonus payments.  The Awards are recognized as expense over 
the annual service period, net of forfeitures, with a corresponding liability to 
accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISIONS
The Group recognizes a liability for the fair value of legally required or 
constructive decommissioning provisions associated with long-lived assets 
in the period in which the retirement obligations are incurred. The Group has 
numerous asset removal obligations that it is required to perform under law 
or contract once an asset is permanently taken out of service. The Group’s 
fi eld exploration, development, and production activities include assets 
related to: well bores and related equipment and operating sites, gathering 
and oil processing systems, oil storage facilities and gathering pipelines. 
Generally, the Group’s licenses and other operating permits require certain 
actions to be taken by the Group in the abandonment of these operations. 
Such actions include well abandonment activities, equipment dismantlement 
and other reclamation activities. The Group’s estimates of future 
abandonment costs consider present regulatory or license requirements, 
as well as actual dismantling and other related costs. These liabilities are 
measured by the Group using the present value of the estimated future costs 
of decommissioning of these assets. The discount rate is reviewed at each 
reporting date and refl ects current market assessments of the time value 
of money and the risks specifi c to the liability. Most of these costs are not 
expected to be incurred until several years, or decades, in the future and will 
be funded from general Group resources at the time of removal. 

The Group capitalizes the associated decommissioning costs as part of the 
carrying amount of the long-lived assets. Changes in obligation, reassessed 
regularly, related to new circumstances or changes in law or technology, or 
in the estimated amount of the obligation, or in the pre-tax discount rates, 
are recognised as an increase or decrease of the cost of the relevant asset 
to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset; the excess is recognised 
immediately in profi t and loss.

The Group’s petrochemical, refi ning and marketing and distribution 
operations are carried out at large manufacturing facilities. The nature of 
these operations is such that the ultimate date of decommissioning of any 
sites or facilities is unclear. Current regulatory and licensing rules do not 
provide for liabilities related to the liquidation of such manufacturing facilities 
or of retail fuel outlets. Management therefore believes that there are no 
legal or contractual obligations related to decommissioning or other disposal 
of these assets.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have been provided for in the consolidated fi nancial 
statements in accordance with legislation enacted or substantively enacted 
by the end of the reporting period. The income tax charge comprises current 
tax and deferred tax and is recognised in profi t or loss for the year, except if 
it is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity because 
it relates to transactions that are also recognised, in the same or a different 
period, in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax is the amount expected to be paid to, or recovered from, the 
taxation authorities in respect of taxable profi ts or losses for the current and 
prior periods. 

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method 
for tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences arising between the 
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for fi nancial 
reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised 
for all deductable or taxable temporary differences, except: 
•  Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill 
or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination 
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor 
taxable profi t or loss; 

•  In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in 
subsidiaries,  where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences 
can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future; and

•  Where it is not probable that future taxable profi t will be available against 
which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of 
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. 

Deferred tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the end of the reporting period, which are expected to apply to 
the period when the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry 
forwards will be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted only 
within the individual companies of the Group. 

Income tax penalties expense and income tax penalties payable are 
included in Taxes other than income tax in the Consolidated Statements 
of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Taxes payable in 
the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, respectively. Income 
tax interest expense and payable are included in Interest expense in the 
Consolidated Statements of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income 
and other accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position, respectively. 

SHARE CAPITAL
Ordinary shares and non-redeemable preference shares with discretionary 
dividends are both classifi ed as equity. 

Dividends paid to shareholders are determined by the Board of directors and 
approved at the annual shareholders’ meeting.  

TREASURY SHARES
Common shares of the Company owned by the Group at the reporting 
date are designated as treasury shares and are recorded at cost using the 
weighted-average method. Gains on resale of treasury shares are credited 
to additional paid-in capital whereas losses are charged to additional paid-in 
capital to the extent that previous net gains from resale are included therein 
or otherwise to retained earnings.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Preference shares are not redeemable and are considered to be 
participating shares. 

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profi t or 
loss attributable to ordinary and preference share holders by the weighted 
average number of ordinary and preferred shares outstanding during the 
period. Profi t or loss attributed to equity holders is reduced by the amount 
of dividends declared in the current period for each class of shares. The 
remaining profi t or loss is allocated to common and preferred shares to the 
extent that each class may share in earnings if all the earnings for the period 
had been distributed. Treasury shares are excluded from calculations. The 
total earnings allocated to each class of shares are determined by adding 
together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a 
participation feature.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues from the production and sale of crude oil, petroleum and 
petrochemical products and other products are recognized when title has 
transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is measured at 
the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account 
the amount of any discounts and other incentives. Purchases and sales of 
inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation 
of one another are combined, considered as a single arrangement and 
netted against each other in the Consolidated Statements of Profi t or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income. Revenue includes only economic 
benefi ts which fl ow to the Group. Taxes and duties arising on the sale of 
goods to third parties do not form part of revenue.

TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES
Transportation expenses recognised in the Consolidated Statements of 
Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income represent all expenses 
incurred by the Group to transport crude oil and other products to end 
customers (they may include pipeline tariffs and any additional railroad costs, 
handling costs, port fees, sea freight and other costs). Compounding fees 
are included in Selling, General and administrative expenses.

NOTE 4: 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 
AND JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts 
recognised in the consolidated fi nancial statements and the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year. Estimates 
and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on management’s 
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that 
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

Management of the Group also makes certain judgements, apart from 
those involving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting 
policies. Judgements that have the most signifi cant effect on the amounts 
recognised in the consolidated fi nancial statements and estimates that 
can cause a signifi cant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and 
liabilities within the next fi nancial year include: 
•  Estimation of oil and gas reserves;
•  Useful life of property, plant and equipment;
•  Decommissioning provisions;
•  Impairment of long-lived assets;
•  Consolidation.

ESTIMATION OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES
Oil and gas development and production assets are depreciated on a 
unit-of-production (UOP) basis for each fi eld or group of fi elds with similar 
characteristics at a rate calculated by reference to proved or proved 
developed reserves. Estimates of proved reserves are also used in the 
determination of whether impairments have arisen or should be reversed. 
Also, exploration drilling costs are capitalized pending the results of further 
exploration or appraisal activity, which may take several years to complete 
and before any related proved reserves can be booked.

Proved and proved developed reserves are estimated by reference to 
available geological and engineering data and only include volumes for 
which access to market is assured with reasonable certainty. Estimates of 
oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise, require the application of 
judgment and are subject to regular revision, either upward or downward, 
based on new information such as from the drilling of additional wells, 
observation of long-term reservoir performance under producing 
conditions and changes in economic factors, including product prices, 
contract terms or development plans. The Group estimates its oil and 
gas reserves in accordance with rules promulgated by the Oil and Gas 
Reserves Committee of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) for 
proved reserves.

Changes to the Group’s estimates of proved and proved developed 
reserves affect prospectively the amounts of depreciation, depletion and 
amortization charged and, consequently, the carrying amounts of oil 
and gas properties. It is expected, however, that in the normal course of 
business the diversity of the Group’s portfolio will limit the effect of such 
revisions. The outcome of, or assessment of plans for, exploration or 
appraisal activity may result in the related capitalized exploration drilling 
costs being written off in the profi t and loss for the year. 

USEFUL LIFE OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Based on the terms included in the licenses and past experience, 
management believes hydrocarbon production licenses will be extended 
past their current expiration dates at insignifi cant additional costs. As a result 
of the anticipated license extensions, the assets are depreciated over their 
useful lives beyond the end of the current license term.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

JSC TATNEFT

Management assesses the useful life of an asset by considering the 
expected usage, estimated technical obsolescence, residual value, 
physical wear and tear and the operating environment in which the asset is 
located. Differences between such estimates and actual results may have a 
material impact on the amount of the carrying values of the property, plant 
and equipment and may result in adjustments to future depreciation rates 
and expenses for the period.

Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line 
basis over their useful economic lives. Management periodically, at the 
end of each reporting period, reviews the appropriateness of the assets 
useful economic lives and residual values. The review is based on the 
current condition of the assets, the estimated period during which they will 
continue to bring economic benefi t to the Group and the estimated residual 
value.

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISIONS
Management makes provision for the future costs of decommissioning oil 
and gas production facilities, wells, pipelines, and related support equipment 
and for site restoration based on the best estimates of future costs and 
economic lives of the oil and gas assets. Estimating future decommissioning 
provisions is complex and requires management to make estimates and 
judgments with respect to removal obligations that will occur many years in 
the future.

Changes in the measurement of existing obligations can result from 
changes in estimated timing, future costs or discount rates used in 
valuation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the 
expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the reporting 
date based on current legislation in each jurisdiction where the Group‘s 
operating assets are located, and is also subject to change because of 
revisions and changes in laws and regulations and their interpretation. As 
a result of the subjectivity of these provisions there is uncertainty regarding 
both the amount and estimated timing of such costs.

The Group’s petrochemical, refi ning and marketing and distribution 
operations are carried out at large manufacturing facilities. The nature 
of these operations is such that the ultimate date of decommissioning of 
any sites or facilities is unclear. Current regulatory and licensing rules do 
not provide for liabilities related to the liquidation of such manufacturing 
facilities or of retail fuel outlets. Management therefore believes that there 
are no legal or contractual obligations related to decommissioning or other 
disposal of these assets.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units and individual assets 
have been determined based on the higher of value-in-use calculations 
and fair values less costs to sell. These calculations require the use of 
estimates and assumptions, including future oil prices, expected production 
volumes and refi ning margins appropriate to the local circumstances and 
environment. It is reasonably possible that these assumptions may change 
and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of the 
Group’s assets. 

CONSOLIDATION
The Company made signifi cant judgements related to signifi cant subsidiaries 
which are controlled by the Group, even though the Group holds less than 
half of the voting rights of these subsidiaries.

The Company considers that the Group has control over several entities 
even though it has less than 50% of the voting rights. This is because the 
Company has power over the investee, has rights to variable returns of the 
investee, and has the power to affect variable returns.

Additional information is disclosed in Note 25.

NOTE 5: 
ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED 
STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The following new standards and interpretations became effective for the 
Group from 1 January 2013: 

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (issued June 
2011, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012), 
changes the disclosure of items presented in other comprehensive income. 
The amendments require entities to separate items presented in other 
comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether or not they may 
be reclassifi ed to profi t or loss in the future. The suggested title used by IAS 
1 has changed to “Statement of Profi t or Loss and Other comprehensive 
income”. 

The following other new pronouncements did not have a material impact on 
these consolidated fi nancial statements.  
•  IFRS 13, Fair value measurement (issued in May 2011 and effective for 
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013), aims to improve 
consistency and reduce complexity by providing a revised defi nition of 
fair value, and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure 
requirements for use across IFRSs. 

•  Amended IAS 19, Employee Benefi ts (issued in June 2011, effective 
for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013), makes signifi cant 
changes to the recognition and measurement of defi ned benefi t pension 
expense and termination benefi ts, and to the disclosures for all employee 
benefi ts.   

•  Disclosures—Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - 

Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (issued in 
December 2011 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2013). The amendment requires disclosures that will enable 
users of an entity’s consolidated fi nancial statements to evaluate the 
effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-
off. 

•  Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (issued in 
May 2012 and effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2013) 
- IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, was amended to clarify that 
servicing equipment that is used for more than one period is classifi ed as 
property, plant and equipment rather than inventory. 

Certain new standards and interpretations have been issued that are 
mandatory for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 or 
later, and which the Group has not early adopted.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classifi cation and Measurement. 
Key features of the standard issued in November 2009 and amended in 
October 2010, December 2011 and November 2013 are:
•  Financial assets are required to be classifi ed into two measurement 

categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to 
be measured subsequently at amortised cost. The decision is to be made 
at initial recognition. The classifi cation depends on the entity’s business 
model for managing its fi nancial instruments and the contractual cash fl ow 
characteristics of the instrument. 

•  An instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt 
instrument and both (i) the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold 
the asset to collect the contractual cash fl ows, and (ii) the asset’s contractual 
cash fl ows represent payments of principal and interest only (that is, it has 
only “basic loan features”). All other debt instruments are to be measured at 
fair value through profi t or loss.

•  All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity 
instruments that are held for trading will be measured at fair value through 
profi t or loss. For all other equity investments, an irrevocable election can be 
made at initial recognition, to recognise unrealised and realised fair value 
gains and losses through other comprehensive income rather than profi t or 
loss. There is to be no recycling of fair value gains and losses to profi t or loss. 
This election may be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends 
are to be presented in profi t or loss, as long as they represent a return on 
investment. 

•  Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classifi cation and measurement 

of fi nancial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key 
change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in 
own credit risk of fi nancial liabilities designated at fair value through profi t or 
loss in other comprehensive income. 

•  Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting 

more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with 
an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting 
requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply IAS 39 to all hedges because 
the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.

The amendments made to IFRS 9 in November 2013 removed its mandatory 
effective date, thus making application of the standard voluntary. The Group is 
considering the implications of the standard, the impact on the Group and the 
timing of its adoption by the Group. 

Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments 
to IAS 32 (issued in December 2011 and effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2014). The amendment added application 
guidance to IAS 32 to address inconsistencies identifi ed in applying some of 
the offsetting criteria. This includes clarifying the meaning of “currently has a 
legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems 
may be considered equivalent to net settlement. The Group is considering 
the implications of the standard, the impact on the Group and the timing of its 
adoption by the Group. 

IFRIC 21 - Levies (issued on 20 May 2013 and effective for annual 
periods beginning 1 January 2014). The interpretation clarifi es the 
accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The obligating 
event that gives rise to a liability is the event identifi ed by the legislation that 
triggers the obligation to pay the levy. The fact that an entity is economically 
compelled to continue operating in a future period, or prepares its fi nancial 
statements under the going concern assumption, does not create an 
obligation. The same recognition principles apply in interim and annual 
fi nancial statements. The application of the interpretation to liabilities arising 
from emissions trading schemes is optional. The Group is currently assessing 
the impact of the amendments on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

Amendments to IAS 36 - Recoverable amount disclosures for non-
fi nancial assets (issued on 29 May 2013 and effective for annual 
periods beginning 1 January 2014; earlier application is permitted if 
IFRS 13 is applied for the same accounting and comparative period). 
The amendments remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount 
when a CGU contains goodwill or indefi nite lived intangible assets but there 
has been no impairment. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the 
amendments on the disclosures in its consolidated fi nancial statements.

Amendments to IAS 19 – Defi ned benefi t plans: Employee 
contributions (issued in November 2013 and effective for annual 
periods beginning 1 July 2014). The amendment allows entities to 
recognise employee contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the 
period in which the related employee service is rendered, instead of attributing 
the contributions to the periods of service, if the amount of the employee 
contributions is independent of the number of years of service. The Group 
is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its consolidated 
fi nancial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 (issued in December 2013 
and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014). The 
improvements consist of changes to standards:
•  IFRS 2 was amended to clarify the defi nition of a “vesting condition” and to 

defi ne separately “performance condition” and “service condition”; 
•  IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that (1) an obligation to pay contingent 

consideration which meets the defi nition of a fi nancial instrument is classifi ed 
as a fi nancial liability or as equity, on the basis of the defi nitions in IAS 32, 
and (2) all non-equity contingent consideration, both fi nancial and non-
fi nancial, is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair 
value recognised in profi t and loss. 

•  IFRS 8 was amended to require (1) disclosure of the judgments made by 
management in aggregating operating segments, including a description 
of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators 
which have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments 
share similar economic characteristics, and (2) a reconciliation of segment 
assets to the entity’s assets when segment assets are reported. 

•  The basis for conclusions on IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that deletion 
of certain paragraphs in IAS 39 upon publishing of IFRS 13 was not made 
with an intention to remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and 
payables at invoice amount where the impact of discounting is immaterial. 
•  IAS 24 was amended to include, as a related party, an entity that provides 

key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent 
of the reporting entity (“the management entity”), and to require to disclose 
the amounts charged to the reporting entity by the management entity for 
services provided. 

The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its 
consolidated fi nancial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2013 (issued in December 2013 
and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014). The 
improvements consist of changes to standards:
•  IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that it does not apply to the accounting for 

the formation of any joint arrangement under IFRS 11. The amendment also 
clarifi es that the scope exemption only applies in the fi nancial statements of 
the joint arrangement itself. 

•  The amendment of IFRS 13 clarifi es that the portfolio exception in IFRS 13, 

which allows an entity to measure the fair value of a group of fi nancial assets 
and fi nancial liabilities on a net basis, applies to all contracts (including 
contracts to buy or sell non-fi nancial items) that are within the scope of IAS 
39 or IFRS 9. 

•  IAS 40 was amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually 

exclusive. The guidance in IAS 40 assists preparers to distinguish between 
investment property and owner-occupied property. Preparers also need to 
refer to the guidance in IFRS 3 to determine whether the acquisition of an 
investment property is a business combination. 

The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its 
consolidated fi nancial statements.

Unless otherwise described above, the new standards and interpretations 
are not expected to affect signifi cantly the Group’s consolidated fi nancial 
statements.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013

EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS

FINANCIAL RESULTS

JSC TATNEFT

For the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group recorded RR 1,248 million and RR 606 million of capitalized borrowing cost as property, plant 
and equipment additions, respectively. The capitalisation rate was 3.5% (2012: 3.5%).

As stated in Note 3, the Group calculates depreciation, depletion and amortization for oil and gas properties using the units-of-production method over proved 
or proved developed oil and gas reserves depending on the nature of the costs involved. The proved or proved developed reserves used in the units-of-
production method assume the extension of the Group’s production license beyond their current expiration dates until the end of the economic lives of the 
fi elds as discussed below in further detail. 

The Group’s oil and gas fi elds are located principally on the territory of Tatarstan. The Group obtains licenses from the governmental authorities to explore 
and produce oil and gas from these fi elds. The Group’s existing production licenses for its major fi elds expire, after their recent extension, between 2026 and 
2038, with other production licenses expiring between 2014 and 2043. The economic lives of many of the Group’s licensed fi elds extend beyond these dates. 
Under Russian law, the Group is entitled to renew the licenses to the end of the economic lives of the fi elds, provided certain conditions are met. Article 10 of 
the Subsoil Law provides that a license to use a fi eld “shall be” extended at its scheduled termination at the initiative of the subsoil user if necessary to fi nish 
production in the fi eld, provided that there are no violations of the conditions of the license. The legislative history of Article 10 indicates that the term “shall” 
replaced the term “may” in August 2004, clarifying that the subsoil user has the right to extend the license term so long as it has not violated the conditions of 
the license. In August 2006, the term of the Group’s license to produce oil and gas from the Group’s largest fi eld, Romashkinskoye, was extended through 
2038. And the license to produce oil and gas from the Group’s second largest fi eld, Novo-Elkhovskoe, was extended through 2026. The Group’s right to 
extend licenses is, however, dependent on the Group continuing to comply with the terms of the licenses, and management has the ability and intent to do so. 

Management plans to request the extension of the licenses that have not yet been extended. The Group’s current production plans are based on the 
assumption, which management considers to be reasonably certain, that the Group will be able to extend all existing licenses.

These plans have been designed on the basis that the Group will be producing crude oil through the economic lives of the fi elds and not with a view to 
exploiting the Group’s reserves to maximum effect only through the license expiration dates. 

Management is reasonably certain that the Group will be allowed to produce oil from the Group’s reserves after the expiration of existing production licenses 
and until the end of the economic lives of the fi elds. “Reasonable certainty” is the applicable standard for defi ning proved reserves under the SEC’s Regulation 
S-X, Rule 4-10.

SOCIAL ASSETS
During the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group transferred social assets with a net book value of RR 23 million and RR 4 million, respectively, 
to local authorities. At 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group held social assets with a net book value of RR 5,276 million and RR 3,700 million, respectively, 
all of which were constructed after  the privatization date. 

The social assets comprise mainly dormitories, hotels, gyms and other facilities. The Group may transfer some of these social assets to local authorities in the 
future, but does not expect these to be signifi cant. The Group incurred social infrastructure expenses of RR 4,805 million and RR 4,027 million for the years 
ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively, for maintenance that mainly relates to housing, schools and cultural buildings.

PENSION LIABILITIES
The Group has various pension plans covering substantially all eligible employees and members of management. The amount of contributions, frequency 
of benefi t payments and other conditions of these plans are regulated by the “Statement of Organization of Non-Governmental Pension Benefi ts for OAO 
Tatneft Employees” and the contracts concluded between the Company or its subsidiaries, management, and the non-profi t organization “National Non-
Governmental Pension Fund”. In accordance with these contracts the Group is committed to make certain contributions on behalf of all employees and 
guarantees a minimum benefi t upon retirement. Contributions or benefi ts are generally based upon grade and years until offi cial retirement age (age 60 
for men and 55 for women), and in the case of management are based upon years of service. In accordance with the provisions of collective agreements 
concluded on an annual basis between the Company or its subsidiaries and their employees, the Group is obligated to pay certain post-employment benefi ts, 
the amounts of which are generally based on salary grade and years of service at the time of retirement.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry-forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi ts will be 
available against which the unused tax losses/credits can be utilized. 

TAX LOSSES CARRY FORWARD
At 31 December 2013, the Group had recognized deferred income tax assets of RR 3,824 million (RR 3,924 million at 31 December 2012) in respect of 
unused tax loss carry forwards of RR 19,119 million (RR 19,620 million at 31 December 2012). Tax losses can be carried forward for relief against taxable 
profi ts for 10 years after they are incurred, subject to certain limitations. In determining future taxable profi ts and the amount of tax benefi ts that are probable in 
the future management makes judgments including expectations regarding the Group’s ability to generate suffi cient future taxable income and the projected 
time period over which deferred tax benefi ts will be realized.

The Group doesn’t have any unrecognised potential deferred tax assets in respect of deductible temporary differences. 

The Group is subject to a number of taxes other than income taxes, which are detailed as follows:

Presented below is reconciliation between the provision for income taxes and taxes determined by applying the statutory tax rate 20% (for the year ended 31

AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL
At 31 December 2013 the authorized share capital consists of 2,178,690,700 voting common shares and 147,508,500 non-voting preferred shares; both 
classes of shares have a nominal value of RR 1.00 per share. The nominal value of authorised share capital differs from its carrying value due to effect of the 
hyperinfl ation of capital contributions made before 2003. 

GOLDEN SHARE
OAO Svyazinvestneftekhim, a company wholly owned by the government of Tatarstan, as of 31 December 2013 holds approximately 33.59% of the 
Company’s capital stock (approximately 36% of voting stock). These shares were contributed to Svyazinvestneftekhim by the Ministry of Land and Property 
Relations of Tatarstan in 2003. Tatarstan also holds a “Golden Share” – a special governmental right – in the Company. The exercise of its powers under the 
Golden Share enables the Tatarstan government to appoint one representative to the Board of Directors and Revision Commission of the Company and to 
veto certain major decisions, including those relating to changes in the share capital, amendments to the Charter, liquidation or reorganization and “major” 
and “interested party” transactions as defi ned under Russian law. 

The Golden Share currently has an indefi nite term. The Tatarstan government also controls or exercises signifi cant infl uence over a number of the Company’s 
suppliers, contractors and customers (see also Note 1).

RIGHTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES
Unless a different amount is approved at the annual shareholders meeting, preferred shares earn dividends equal to their nominal value. The amount of a 
dividend for a preferred share may not be less than the amount of a dividend for a common share. Preferred shareholders may vote at meetings only on the 
following decisions:
•  the amendment of the dividends payable per preferred share;
•  the issuance of additional shares with rights greater than the current rights of preferred shareholders; and 
•  the liquidation or reorganization of the Company.

The decisions listed above can be made only if approved by 75% of preferred shareholders.

Holders of preferred shares acquire the same voting rights as holders of common shares in the event that dividends are either not declared, or declared but 
not paid, on preferred shares. On liquidation, the shareholders are entitled to receive a distribution of net assets. Under Russian Joint Stock Companies Law 
and the Company’s charter in case of liquidation, preferred shareholders have priority over shareholders holding common shares to be paid declared but 
unpaid dividends on preferred shares and the liquidation value of preferred shares, if any.

AMOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS
Amounts available for distribution to shareholders are based on the Company’s non-consolidated statutory accounts prepared in accordance with RAR, which 
differ signifi cantly from IFRS (see Note 2). The statutory accounts are the basis for profi t distribution and other appropriations. Russian legislation identifi es 
the basis of distribution as the current period net profi t calculated in accordance with RAR. However, this legislation and other statutory laws and regulations 
dealing with distribution rights are open to legal interpretation. For the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, the Company had a statutory current profi t 
of RR 63,850 million and RR 66,707 million, respectively.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profi t or loss attributable to ordinary and preference shareholders by the weighted average 
number of ordinary and preferred shares outstanding during the period. Profi t or loss attributed to equity holders is reduced by the amount of dividends 
declared in the current period for each class of shares. The remaining profi t or loss is allocated to common and preferred shares to the extent that each class 
may share in earnings if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. Treasury shares are excluded from calculations. The total earnings allocated to 
each class of shares are determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a participation feature.

Operating segments are components that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly 
reviewed by the Board of Directors and the Management Committee and for which discrete fi nancial information is available. 

Segments whose revenue, result or assets are ten percent or more of all the segments are reported separately.

The Group’s business activities are conducted predominantly through three main operating segments: 
•  Exploration and production consists of exploration, development, extraction and sale of own crude oil. Intersegment sales consist of transfer of crude oil 

to refi nery and other goods and services provided to other operating segments, 

•  Refi ning and marketing comprises purchases and sales of crude oil and refi ned products from third parties, own refi ning activities and retailing 

operations,

•  Petrochemical products include production and sales of tires and petrochemical raw materials and refi ned products, which are used in production of 

tires. 

Other sales include revenues from ancillary services provided by the specialized subdivisions and subsidiaries of the Group, such as sales of oilfi eld 
equipment and drilling services provided to other companies in Tatarstan, revenues from the sale of auxiliary petrochemical related services and materials 
as well as other business activities, which do not constitute reportable business segments. 

The Group evaluates performance of its reportable operating segments and allocates resources based on segment earnings, defi ned as profi t before 
income taxes and non-controlling interest not including interest income, expense, and earnings from equity investments, other income (expenses) and 
foreign exchange loss or gain. Intersegment sales are at prices that approximate market. Group fi nancing (including interest expense and interest income) 
and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
As of 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group has outstanding capital 
commitments of approximately RR 23,180 million and RR 16,823 million, 
respectively, for the construction of the TANECO refi nery complex. These 
commitments are expected to be paid between 2014 and 2016.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company issued 10,138,230 
Awards to senior management and directors, all of which are expected 
to be settled at a price of RR 102.4 per Award. Final settlement is subject 
to approval at the Company’s Management Committee meeting in July-

expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Profi t or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012

Management believes the Group’s current and long-term capital 
expenditures program can be funded through cash fl ows generated from 
existing operations as well as lines of credit available to the Company. The 
TANECO refi nery project has been funded from the Company’s cash fl ow 
with the support of the bank facilities (Note 15). Management believes the 
Company has the ability to obtain syndicated loans and other fi nancings 
as needed to continue funding the TANECO refi nery project, refi nance 
any maturing debts as well as fi nance business acquisitions and other 
transactions that may arise in the future.  

TAXATION

NOTE 24: 
CONTINGENCIES 
AND COMMITMENTS

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OF THE GROUP  
The Russian Federation displays certain characteristics of an emerging 
market. Tax, currency and customs legislation is sometimes subject to 
varying interpretations and contributes to the challenges faced by companies 
operating in the Russian Federation. 

The ongoing uncertainty and volatility of the fi nancial markets and other 
risks could have signifi cant negative effects on the Russian fi nancial and 
corporate sectors. Management determined provisions for impairment by 
considering the economic situation and outlook at the end of the reporting 
period. 

The future economic development of the Russian Federation is dependent 
upon external factors and internal measures undertaken by the government 
to sustain growth, and to change the tax, legal and regulatory environment. 
Management believes it is taking all necessary measures to support the 
sustainability and development of the Group’s business in the current 
business and economic environment. 

146

Russian tax and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and 
changes, which can occur frequently. Management’s interpretation of such 
legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group may be 
challenged by the relevant authorities.  The Russian tax authorities may be 
taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and 
assessments, and it is possible that transactions and activities that have not 
been challenged in the past may be challenged.

Tax authorities are currently reviewing the operations of the Company and 
its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. While 
the results of that review have not been fi nalized, management expects the 
ultimate outcome will not have a material effect on the Group’s results of 
operations or cash fl ows.

Amended Russian transfer pricing legislation took effect from 1 January 
2012. The new transfer pricing rules appear to be more technically elaborate 
and, to a certain extent, better aligned with the international transfer pricing 
principles developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and 
Development (OECD). The new legislation provides the possibility for tax 
authorities to make transfer pricing adjustments and impose additional tax 
liabilities in respect of controlled  transactions (transactions with related 
parties and some types of transactions with unrelated parties), provided that 
the transaction price is not arm’s length. 

Management believes that its pricing policy is arm’s length and it has 
implemented internal processes to be in compliance with the new transfer 
pricing legislation. 

Given that the practice of implementation of the new Russian transfer pricing 
rules has not yet developed, the impact of any challenge of the Group’s 
transfer prices cannot be reliably estimated; however, it may be signifi cant to 
the fi nancial conditions and/or the overall operations of the Group.  

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES
The Group, through its predecessor entities, has operated in Tatarstan 
for many years without developed environmental laws, regulations and 
the Group’s policies. Environmental regulations and their enforcement 
are currently being considered in the Russian Federation and the Group 
is monitoring its potential obligations related thereto. The outcome of 
environmental liabilities under proposed or any future environmental 
legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at present, but could be material. 
Under existing legislation, however, management believes that there are 
no probable liabilities, which would have a material adverse effect on the 
operating results or fi nancial position of the Group.

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
The Group is subject to various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary 
course of business. The outcomes of such contingencies, lawsuits or other 
proceedings cannot be determined at present. In the case of all known 
contingencies the Group accrues a liability when the loss is probable and the 
amount is reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, 
management believes that it is remote that future costs related to known 
contingent liability exposures would have a material adverse impact on the 
Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements.

SOCIAL COMMITMENTS
The Group contributes signifi cantly to the maintenance of local infrastructure 
and the welfare of its employees within Tatarstan, which includes 
contributions towards the construction, development and maintenance of 
housing, hospitals and transport services, recreation and other social needs.  
Such funding is periodically determined by the Board of Directors after 
consultation with governmental authorities and recorded as expenditures 
when incurred. 

GUARANTEES
The Group has no outstanding guarantees at 31 December 2013 and 2012.

TRANSPORTATION OF CRUDE OIL
The Group benefi ts from the blending of its crude oil in the Transneft pipeline 
system since the Group’s crude oil production is generally of a lower quality 
than that produced by some other regions of the Russian Federation (mainly 
Western Siberia) which supply through the same pipeline system. There is 
currently no equalization scheme for differences in crude oil quality within 
the Transneft pipeline system and the implementation of any such scheme 
is not determinable at present. However, if this practice were to change, the 
Group’s business could be materially and adversely affected.

UKRTATNAFTA
The Group holds 49.6% investment in AmRUZ Trading AG (“AmRUZ”) and 
100% investment in Seagroup International Inc. (“Seagroup”).  These entities 
primary activities are ownership interests in Closed Joint Stock Company 
Ukrtatnafta (“Ukrtatnafta”), the owner of the Kremenchug refi nery, and their 
holdings constitute 8.34% and 9.96% of the outstanding common shares in 
Ukrtatnafta, respectively. Historically, and in particular during the course of 
2007, there have been a number of attempts by Ukraine to challenge AmRUZ 
and Seagroup’s acquisition of shares in Ukrtatnafta, and in particular, by the 
State Property Fund and NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine (“Naftogaz”). Naftogaz is 
100% owned by the Ukrainian Government and also owner of record of 43% 
Ukrtatnafta’s common shares.

The challenges were suspended in April 2006 when the Supreme Court 
of Ukraine ruled the payment for Ukrtatnafta shares made with promissory 
notes issued by AmRUZ and Seagroup was lawful. However, in May 2007 the 
Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine (“MFEU”) resumed its attempts and, 
as a result, succeeded in obtaining alleged and doubtful court decisions, 
after which it announced the transfer into Naftogaz’s custody the 18.3% 
of Ukrtatnafta’s shares, representing the entire holdings of AmRUZ and 
Seagroup in Ukrtatnafta. Subsequent to these actions, MFEU effectively 
began to exclude the Group from exercising their shareholder rights related 
to Ukrtatnafta.  

In October 2007 the existing management of Ukrtatnafta, as appointed by 
its shareholders, was forcibly removed based on an alleged court order. 
Subsequently, individuals who obtained the ability to manage Ukrtatnafta 
took certain actions effectively assisting MFEU in taking control over 
the shares in Ukrtatnafta owned by SeaGroup and AmRUZ. In addition, 
Ukrtatnafta subsequently refused to settle its payables to ChMPKP Avto 
(Note 3), a Ukrainian intermediary that previously purchased crude from 
the Group for deliveries to Ukrtatnafta. Following this forced change of 
control of Ukrtatnafta, the Company (originally the key crude supplier to the 
Kremenchug refi nery) suspended its crude oil deliveries to Ukrtatnafta. 

Subsequently, the Ukrainian courts also invalided direct purchase of the 
shares in Ukrtatnafta by Tatneft.

In May 2008, Tatneft commenced international arbitration against Ukraine 
on the basis of the agreement between the Government of the Russian 
Federation and the Cabinet of Ministries of Ukraine on the Encouragement 
and Mutual Protection of Investments of November 27, 1998 (“Russia-
Ukraine BIT”). The arbitration concerns losses suffered by Tatneft as a 
consequence of the forcible takeover of Ukrtatnafta and seizure of shares 
of the Group in Ukrtatnafta. Tatneft requested the arbitral tribunal declare 
Ukraine has breached the Russian-Ukraine BIT and to order Ukraine to pay 
compensation in excess of US$ 2.4 billion. In March 2013 the arbitral tribunal 
held the hearing on the merits with the award expected in the course of 2014.

As a result of the ongoing legal dispute over shareholding interests, as of 
31 December 2013 the Company has fully provided for its investments in 
Ukrtatnafta.

LIBYA
As a result of the political situation in Libya, in February 2011 the Group 
had to entirely suspend its operations there and evacuate all its personnel. 
From February 2013 the Group has started the process of resuming its 
activities in Libya, including the return of some of its personnel to a branch 
in Tripoli and carrying out negotiations with subcontractors. As of the date of 
this report the Group expects to return to operational activity in Libya in the 
course of 2014. As of 31 December 2013 the company had approximately 
RR 5,673 million of assets associated with its Libyan operations of which 
RR 5,455 million is related to capitalized exploration costs, RR 210 million 
of inventories and RR 8 million of cash. As of 31 December 2012 the 
company had approximately RR 5,681 million of assets associated with its 
Libyan operations, correspondingly, of which RR 5,451 million are related to 
capitalized exploration costs, RR 208 million of inventories and RR 22 million 
of cash.

The Group‘s activities expose it to a variety of fi nancial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk 
and liquidity risk. The Group‘s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of fi nancial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse 
effects on the Group‘s fi nancial performance. The Group has introduced a risk management system and developed a number of procedures to measure, 
assess and monitor risks and select the relevant risk management techniques.

MARKET RISK 
Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future performance of a business. 

The Group takes on exposure to market risks. Market risks arise from open positions in (a) foreign currencies, (b) interest rate risk and (c) commodity price 
risk. 

a) Currency risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the US dollar and the 
Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from assets, liabilities, commercial transactions and fi nancing denominated in foreign currencies.

b) Interest rate risk
The majority of the Group’s borrowings is at variable interest rates (linked to the LIBOR rate). To mitigate the risk of signifi cant changes in the LIBOR rate, the 
Group’s treasury function performs periodic analysis of the interest rate environment. The Group does not have a formal policy of determining how much of the 
Group’s exposure should be to fi xed or variable rates. However, the Group performs periodic analysis of the current interest rate environment and depending 
on that analysis at the time of raising new debts management makes decisions whether to obtain fi nancing on fi xed-rate or variable-rate basis would be more 
benefi cial to the Group over the expected period until maturity.

The sensitivity analysis is limited only to variable rate loans and borrowings 
and is conducted with all other variables held constant. The analysis is 
prepared assuming the amount of variable rate liability outstanding at the 
reporting date was outstanding for the whole year. Interest rate on variable 
rate loans and borrowings will effectively change throughout the year in 
response to fl uctuations in market interest rates.

of credit and prepayments are used, especially with respect to accounts 
receivables from non-CIS sales of crude oil. The Group operates with various 
customers and a substantial part of its sales relate to major customers. 
Although collection of accounts receivable could be infl uenced by economic 
factors affecting these customers, management believes there is no 
signifi cant risk of loss to the Group beyond the provisions already recorded.

The impact measured through the sensitivity analysis does not take into 
account other potential changes in economic conditions, which may 
accompany the relevant changes in market interest rates.

c) Commodity price risk 
Commodity price risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible 
movements in prices for crude oil and related products, and their impact 
on the Group’s future performance and results of the Group’s operations. A 
decline in the prices could result in a decrease in net income and cash fl ows. 
The Group’s overall strategy in production and sales of crude oil and related 
products is centrally managed. Substantially all the Group’s crude oil export 
sales to Europe are sold under long-term contracts. 

The Group assesses on a regular basis potential scenarios for future 
fl uctuation in commodity prices and their impacts on operational and 
investment decisions.

However, in the current environment management estimates may materially 
differ from actual future impact on the Group’s fi nancial position. Actual 
results, and the impact on the Group’s operations and fi nancial position, may 
differ from management’s estimates of potential scenarios.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk refers to the risk exposure that a potential fi nancial loss to the 
Group may occur if a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations. The 
Group’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of fi nancial 
assets recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, certifi cates of deposits, 
loans and notes receivables, as well as credit exposures to customers 
including outstanding trade and other receivables.

Credit risks related to accounts receivable are systematically monitored 
taking into account the customer’s fi nancial position, past experience 
and other factors. Management systematically reviews ageing analysis 
of receivables and uses this information for calculation of provision for 
impairment. A signifi cant portion of the Group’s accounts receivable is due 
from domestic and export trading companies. The Group does not always 
require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, in most cases letters 

The Company performs an ongoing assessment and monitoring of the risk of 
default.

In addition, as part of its cash management and credit risk function, the 
Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of fi nancial and banking 
institutions where it deposits cash.

The Group deposits available cash mostly with fi nancial institutions in the 
Russian Federation. To manage this credit risk, the Group allocates its 
available cash to a variety of Russian banks. Management periodically 
reviews the credit worthiness of the banks in which it deposits cash. As of 
31 December 2013 and 2012 the majority of loans and receivables (Note 8, 
Note 11) are held in Bank Zenit which is related party to the Group (Note 23) 
and other non-investment grade entities with credit rating not less than BB- 
according to Standard and Poor’s. 

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its fi nancial 
obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity 
is to ensure that it will always have suffi cient liquidity to meet its liabilities 
when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring 
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group‘s reputation. In 
managing its liquidity risk, the Group maintains adequate cash reserves and 
debt facilities, continuously monitors forecast and actual cash fl ows and 
matches the maturity profi les of fi nancial assets and liabilities. 

The Group prepares various fi nancial plans (monthly, quarterly and annually) 
which ensures that the Group has 

suffi cient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, fi nancial 
obligations and investing activities for a period of 30 days or more. To fund 
cash requirements of a more permanent nature, the Group will normally raise 
long-term debt in available international and domestic markets.

All of the Group’s fi nancial liabilities represent non-derivative fi nancial 
instruments.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY 
Fair values
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the 
measurement date. The estimated fair values of fi nancial instruments are determined with reference to various market information and other valuation 
techniques as considered appropriate. 

The different levels of fair value hierarchy have been defi ned as follows: 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to assess at the measurement date. For the 
Group, Level 1 inputs include held-for-trading fi nancial assets that are actively traded on the Russian domestic markets. 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For the Group, Level 2 
inputs include observable market value measures applied to available for sale securities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs refl ect the Company‘s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would 
use in pricing the asset or liability.
