In the nine months ended 30 September 2016, our revenue from sales of energy products increased by 3.3% year-on-year to RR 138,776 million primarily on higher revenue from sales of liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas, partially offset by lower revenue from MTBE sales.
- Liquid hydrocarbons: sales revenue up 3.1% year-on-year to RR 86,917 million on a 12.8% higher sales volumes as a result of fractionation capacity expansion in Tobolsk in the middle of 2016, as well as higher raw NGL supplies from NOVATEK.
- Natural gas: sales revenue up 10.4% year-on-year to RR 34,468 million. Sales volumes up 5.6% on higher production volumes following the increase in APG processing as a result of recent capacity expansions. Effective average selling price up 4.6% on a 7.5% indexation of the regulated natural gas prices in July 2015.
- MTBE: sales revenue down 7.3% year-on-year to RR 14,802 million. Effective average selling price down 18.4% following the dynamics of international market prices in RR terms. Sales volumes up 13.6% year-on-year on a 14.4% increase in production following capacity expansion, as well as higher feedstock availability due to shutdowns at the production of feedstock for MTBE a year earlier.

In the nine months ended 30 September 2016, our revenue from sales of petrochemical products increased by 8.7% year-on-year to RR 142,121 million with each petrochemical product group contibuting to the growth. Revenues from sales of basic polymers increased on higher polypropylene sales volumes and benefited from favorable market environment domestically supported by the Russian rouble depreciation. The increase in revenue from synthetic rubbers sales was a result of higher production capacity utilisation of commodity rubbers and completed homologation of thermoplastic elastomers with key clients a year earlier. The growth in revenue from sales of plastics & organic synthesis products was primarily driven by higher sales of BOPP-films and glycols on higher capacity utilisation rates.
- Plastics and organic synthesis products: sales revenue up 3.2% year-on-year to RR 49,273 million primarily driven by higher BOPP-film and glycols sales volumes on increased production volumes.
- Basic polymers: sales revenue up0% year-on-year to RR 42,567 million primarily driven by higher PP sales volumes on increased capacity utilisation rate at our production site in Tobolsk. The growth was also attributable to higher average selling prices for PP and LDPE due to the Russian rouble depreciation and favourable market environment domestically.
- Synthetic rubbers: sales revenue up 11.4% year-on-year to RR 29,596 million on higher revenue from sales of commodity rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers primarily due to completed homologation with key clients for thermoplastic elastomers a year earlier, as well as higher commodity rubbers production due to shorter maintenance shutdowns as compared to the respective period of 2015. The effective average selling price for commodity rubbers was supported by the Russian rouble depreciation and local shortage due to the third-party production shutdown. Prices for thermoplastic elastomers were positively affected by canceled discounts applied for premarketing sales in 2015.
