PRODUCTION REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 2018

Volga Gas plc, the oil and gas exploration and production group operating in the Volga Region of Russia, is pleased to announce its average production volumes for February 2018.

Average gas processing capacity utilisation decreased by 8% compared to January 2018, while test production continued using exclusively the new Redox gas sweetening process. The slight decrease was a result of approximately one week of downtime at the gas processing plant for technological maintenance and Redox process set-up during low temperature.

In the coming months, implementation of the new process will continue and production is planned to be maintained at rates similar to the normal levels achieved in December 2017. During this period it is expected that the average daily production of gas and condensate would remain in the region of 4,500 boepd resulting in Group production of approximately 5,300 boe per day, excluding incremental volumes from the LPG project. Construction of the LPG project is still due to complete in Q1 2018 however testing will follow in Q2 2018.

The average production in February 2018 was 3,924 barrels of oil equivalent per day (5% lower than January 2018).

Average production comprised:
