Opening the meeting, Rustam Minnikhanov noted that slackening in the rate of economic growth and Russia’s joining the WTO undermined country’s economy. In particular, decline in demand for oil and chemical produce had a negative impact on oil industry. Therefore, Tatarstan budget revenues considerably reduced in the first quarter of 2013.
Rustam Minnikhanov continued that notwithstanding such situation some of Tatarstan oil companies were able to mobilize inner resources and achieved good results. However, we worry about negative results of certain small oil companies, he said.
According to Director General of ZAO “Nefteconsortium” Fanis Valiev, small oil companies produced 1639 thousand tons of oil that exceeds planned rates by 3 per cent. At the same time, fall in global oil prices in rise in Mineral Extraction Tax had a negative impact on financial and economic indexes of oil companies and resulted in considerable decline in profits.
Thus, 6, 42 mln tons of oil have been produced at Tatneft oilfields.
Participants of the session discussed oil production plans and geo-technical measures for 2014-2015. Currently, the company carries out development of 84 oilfields. According to “Miller & Lenz” estimates, for 2012 oil reserves make 869,2 mln tons.
