Hydrocarbon reserves in categories A+B+C
Explored reserves according to the Russian classification. Represents the part of geological reserves that it would be economically efficient to extract at the date of the estimate, based on the market situation and rational use of modern equipment and technologies, and taking into account requirements for the protection of mineral deposits and the natural environment. Explored reserves of gas in categories А+В+С1 are viewed as fully recoverable. For reserves of oil and gas condensate, an extraction coefficient based on geological and technical factors is used.
Hydrocarbon reserves in categories С1+С2
Category С1 represents reserves of oil and gas proven to exist in standalone wells, with favorable industrial and geological data for other wells. Category С2 represents reserves of oil and gas, the existence of which is suggested by geological and geophysical information within known gas-producing areas. Reserves of category С2 are preliminary estimates that are used to plan detailed survey work at specific fields.
Hydrocracking
A cracking technique used in refining of crude oil fractions with a high boiling point, fuel oils or tar oil to make gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, lubricant oils etc.
Hydrotreatment
Purification of petroleum products to remove organic sulphuric, nitric, and oxygen-based compounds using molecules of hydrogen. Hydro treatment improves the quality of petroleum products.

Possible reserves
Unproven reserves, which are less likely to be extracted than probable reserves, based on the analysis of engineering and geological data. There must be at least 10% probability that actual production will be equal to or more than the estimate of proven, probable and potential reserves.
Primary refining
Crude oil distillation using atmospheric vacuum devices. Crude oil enters the distillation columns to undergo an atmospheric pressure distillation process, which splits it into a number of fractions: light and heavy gasoline fractions, kerosene fraction, diesel fraction, and fueloil as a residue. The quality of the obtained fractions does not meet standards for marketable petroleum products, so the fractions must undergo further(secondary) refining.
Probable reserves
Unproven reserves, which are most likely to be extracted based on the analysis of engineering and geological data. There must be at least a 50% probability that actual production will be equal to or greater than the estimate of proven and probable reserves.
Prospecting and exploration drilling
All prospecting and exploration drilling carried out during the reporting period, including total distance drilled in wells, which have been fully drilled or are in the process of being drilled, but will be completed in the next reporting period.
Proven reserves
Quantities of liquid, gaseous and solid hydrocarbons, which, according to engineering and geological information, are most likely to be produced by industrially available methods from known deposits starting from a specific date, under the existing economic conditions, with generally accepted operating techniques, and in compliance with applicable effective national regulations.
PRMS and SEC international standards
International classification and estimate of hydrocarbon reserves by the standards of the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) and US Securities and Exchange Committee (SEC). These standards include not only the estimate of hydrocarbon reserves, but also provide the estimate of the commercial practicability of extraction and the justifiability of its availability. The period of economically viable reserve development (period of validity of the development licence) is taken into account as well.
