The first five-year agreement between LUKOIL and the Perm region administration was signed on November 16, 1995 and became an example of a constructive cooperation.

Over the period from 1996 to 2000 Perm-based enterprises of LUKOIL paid over RUB35bn in taxes to budgets of all levels and non-budget funds. Thus, every third ruble collected by the budget of the region comes from LUKOIL. Over the last 5 years the total amount of tax payments to the consolidated budget of the region increased 5 times.

Since 1999 OOO LUKOIL Permneft and ZAO LUKOIL Perm have paid all taxes locally, i.e. to local budgets of towns and territories of the region. As a result 5 territories became contributors to the budget of the Perm region.

11 enterprises and 23 subsidiaries and affiliates of LUKOIL operate in the Perm region. Total assets reached RUB32bn in 2000. Over 5 years from 1996 to 2000 (joint ventures excluded) oil production amounted to 40 tons, oil refining - to 54.2 million tons. 12 billion rubles were invested in the production development, or 45% of the total investment into the industry of the region. 9.4 million tons of oil products were supplied to consumers of the region.

Total volume of charity aid provided by LUKOIL enterprises amounted to over RUB50m. Most part of assistance was provided to health, culture, education, science and religious institutions. A portion of funds was directed to the Perm charity fund "Miloserdiye".
