Refinery throughput at the LUKOIL Group's refineries in the third quarter of 2017 increased by 5.9% quarter-on-quarter and amounted to 17.4 million tons. Growth of refinery throughput in Russia was mainly due to maintenance works at Perm refinery in the second quarter of 2017. An increase in the utilization rate of European refineries was attributable to the completion of the maintenance works at Petrotel and ISAB refineries, as well as favorable market environment.

Refinery throughput for the first nine months of 2017 increased by 1.2% year-on-year to 49.9 million tons. Refinery throughput in Russia increased by 3.0% year-on-year, which was mainly due to maintenance works at our Nizhny Novgorod and Volgograd refineries in 2016.
