Lukoil

Foundation of a company

The state oil concern Langepas UrayKogalymneft (Lukoil) was established by Decree of the Government of the RSFSR No. 18 of November 25, 1991. The new oil concern combined three oil-producing enterprises Langepasneftegaz, Urayneftegaz, Kogalymneftegaz, as well as processing enterprises Permnefteorgsintez, the Volgograd and Novoufimsky refineries (the latter soon came under the control of the authorities of Bashkortostan ).

On the basis of Presidential Decree No. 1403 of November 17, 1992, “On the peculiarities of privatization and the transformation into joint-stock companies of state-owned enterprises, industrial and scientific-production associations of the oil and petroleum refining industry, and petroleum products”, type "Oil company" Lukoil "".

1990s

In 1994, the first privatization auction of the company's shares took place; began trading stocks in the secondary market.

In 1995, in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861 of September 1, 1995, the controlling capital of nine oil producing, marketing and service enterprises in Western Siberia, the Urals and the Volga region (including Nizhnevolzhskneft "," Permneft "," Kaliningradmorneftegaz "," Kaliningradtorgmorneftegaz "," Astrakhannefteprodukt ", etc.) ^[13] .

Also in 1995, 5% of Lukoil’s shares were sold by the state at a privatization pledge auction . This package went to a company affiliated with Lukoil with a minimum excess of the starting price; no foreign participants were allowed to participate in the competition ^[14] .

In 1996, Lukoil placed American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on Western stock markets. Also this year, Lukoil joined the Azerbaijani Shah Deniz oil project, and also began building its own tanker fleet.

In 1997, the company signed a contract with the Ministry of Petroleum of Iraq to develop and produce the second phase of the West Qurna -2 oil field. After the overthrow of the regime of Saddam Hussein, the project was suspended and the contract was terminated ^[15] . In the same 1997, Lukoil-Neftekhim was established, under whose management the petrochemical enterprises acquired during the next few years (Stavrolen, Saratovorgsintez and Kalushsky Lukor) are transferred.

In 1999, Lukoil made a number of major acquisitions, including the Odessa Refinery , the Burgas Bulgarian refinery , KomiTEK OJSC, and others. ^[13]

2000s

In 2000, the Russian company acquired the American corporation Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc., thus gaining control over the network of petrol stations in the United States and for the first time entering the American retail market for petroleum products ^[13] . In the same year, the company took control of the Kstovsky refinery (NORSI-oil), which led to a conflict with Sibur , which claimed to be petrochemical enterprises that were technologically related to the refinery. As a result, Lukoil obtained Perm gas processing plant, losing to Sibur petrochemical assets in the Nizhny Novgorod region .

2001: the next major acquisitions - OAO Yamalneftegazdobycha, OAO Arkhangelskgeoldobycha, Lokosovsky GPP. In 2002, Lukoil began construction of its own terminal for transshipment of petroleum products in the port of Vysotsk ( Leningrad Region ).

In 2004, Lukoil finally became a private company - the 7.59% stake in the company that remained with the state was sold to ConocoPhillips, an American oil company, for $ 1.988 billion. According to some commentators, the results of the open auction for the sale of this stake were predetermined even in advance, during a personal meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and ConocoPhillips President James Mulva ^[16] . ^[17] . After the auction, Lukoil and ConocoPhillips announced the creation of a strategic alliance. Later, the American company increased its share in the capital of Lukoil, and also sold the Russian company part of its network of petrol stations in the United States and Western Europe.

In 2005, Lukoil acquired Nelson Resources, a company operating in Kazakhstan, for $ 2 billion. Also this year the Nakhodkinskoye gas field was commissioned.

On January 25, 2006, the company announced the opening of the first exploratory well in the Yuzhno-Rakushechnaya structure, 220 km from Astrakhan, a large multi-layer oil and gas condensate field named after the well-known oil company Vladimir Filanovsky in the Severny license area in the northern part of the Caspian Sea. Probable reserves of the field are estimated at 600 million barrels of oil and 34 billion m³ of gas, annual production can reach 5 million tons. In December 2006, Lukoil announced the acquisition of 376 gas stations in six European countries ( Belgium , Finland , the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia ) from ConocoPhillips ^[18] .

In 2007, Lukoil established joint ventures with Gazprom Neft ^[13] , and in June 2008 with the Italian oil company ERG (based on its two ISAB refineries in Sicily , and for 49% of this JV Lukoil 1.3475 billion euros) ^[19] . In 2009, Lukoil, together with the Norwegian Statoil, won the tender for the development of the Iraqi hydrocarbon field West Kurna -2 (in early 2012, the Norwegians left the project, and Lukoil consolidated 75% of it) ^{[13] [15]} .

2010s

By February 2011, ConocoPhillips had completely withdrawn from the capital of Lukoil, having sold its shares in connection with a difficult financial situation ^[20] .

At the end of 2012, Lukoil became the winner of the state auction for the sale of rights to explore and develop the hydrocarbon fields Imilorskoye , Zapadno-Imilorskoye and Istochnoye located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area. In this competition, Lukoil bypassed Rosneft and Gazpromneft, paying the government 50.8 billion rubles. ^[21]

In February 2013, Lukoil negotiated the sale of the Odessa refinery to the Ukrainian East European Fuel and Energy Company (WETEC). The sale of the company, the production of which was stopped back in October 2010 due to unprofitability, was closed in the summer of 2013 ^[22] .

In 2014, the company faced a sharp decline in retail sales in Ukraine, caused by a cooling in relations with Russia (according to Vagit Alekperov, sales in 2014 fell by 42% compared with the previous one). In this regard, the management of Lukoil agreed to sell the 100% subsidiary of Lukoil Ukraine to the Austrian company AMIC Energy Management, which was announced at the end of July 2014 ^{[23] [24]} .

In 2018, the net profit of NK LUKOIL under IFRS increased to 619.2 billion rubles. Thus, compared with 2017, the company's net profit increased by 47.8% ^[25] .

The top managers of the company as of July 2010 owned the largest stake (more than 30%) of the company's shares, including Lukoil President Vagit Alekperov - 20.6%, Vice President Leonid Fedun - 9.08%. The American oil company ConocoPhillips owned 19.21% (by February 2011, this company completely withdrew from the shareholders of Lukoil, having sold its shares, and partly to Lukoil itself) ^{[20] [26] [27] [28]} . The remaining shares were in free circulation on the London Stock Exchange , the Frankfurt Stock Exchange , RTS , MICEX . The market capitalization is $ 64.4 billion (September 1, 2008) ^[29] . The nominal holders of LUKOIL shares holding them and accounting are: 61.78% - Bank of New York , 10.79% - Cyprus company LUKOIL EMPLOYEE LIMITED (controlled by the Bank of Cyprus through Odella Resources Limited ).

From 1993 to the present, President of PJSC "Lukoil" is Vagit Alekperov ^[30] .

The company's board of directors includes 11 members. The Board of Directors elected on June 21, 2017 ^[31] : Vagit Alekperov , Victor Blazheev , Valery Graifer , Igor Ivanov , Ravil Maganov , Richard H. Matzke, Lyubov Khoba , Toby Gati , Roger Munnings , Ivan Pictet , Leonid Fedun . Valery Graifer was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company.

The company's proven hydrocarbon reserves as of January 1, 2011 amounted to 17.255 billion barrels of oil equivalent , including 13.319 billion barrels of oil and 0.67 trillion m³ of gas ^[32] . According to its own information, at that date, Lukoil was the largest privately-owned oil company in the world in terms of proven oil reserves, and the sixth by proven gas reserves ^[33] .

In addition to this, the probable hydrocarbon reserves as of January 1, 2011 were 8.46 billion barrels of oil equivalent (including oil - 6.47 billion barrels and gas - 0.34 trillion m³), possible reserves - 3.17 billion barrels of oil equivalent (including oil - 2.78 billion barrels and gas - 65.7 billion m³) ^[32] .

More than half of Lukoil’s oil reserves are concentrated in Western Siberia (the main production operator is Lukoil-Western Siberia LLC (located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area ), 100% of whose shares belong to Lukoil PJSC and is the largest asset of Lukoil). About half of the natural gas reserves are located in fields located on the Gydan Peninsula ( Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District ).

Speaking at a press conference in New York on October 18, 2006, the company’s president, Vagit Alekperov, said that Lukoil is refusing to build a new refinery in Russia. According to him, “at this stage it is inexpedient and economically inefficient” ^[37] . At the same time, Lukoil planned to build in Kalmykia a large complex for processing natural gas coming from the fields of the Northern Caspian with a total value of over $ 3 billion. The work was supposed to begin in spring 2008.

The company "Lukoil" declares its responsibility to society for the preservation of a favorable environment, rational use of natural resources ^[51] . The environmental and industrial safety management systems of the company are certified according to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. The “Lukoil PJSC policy in the field of industrial safety, occupational health and the environment in the XXI century” is in force. In 2005, the company as a whole spent 9 billion rubles on the implementation of measures to ensure environmental safety.

In early 2007, Lukoil announced the adoption of a new environmental program, under which oil companies will spend $ 1.7 billion on environmental protection measures during 2007–2010. At the same time, such programs will be financed as a further increase in the degree of utilization of associated gas, repair of field pipelines, recultivation of polluted lands, reduction of harmful emissions at refineries, reduction of water consumption for production needs. .

At the same time, Lukoil faces criticism from various environmental organizations. In particular, environmentalists face serious objections from the company's oil production on the Baltic Sea shelf in the Kaliningrad region , just 22 km from the Curonian Spit , a UNESCO World Heritage Site ^{[52] [53]} .

According to a number of critics, Lukoil inherited the worst standards of the Soviet oil industry in relation to the environment, not responsibly relating to minimizing pollution in its oil fields and refineries ^{[54] [55]} .

At one of the storage ponds of LUKoil-Volgograd Oil Refining JSC from July 25 to August 8, 1996, oil sludge ignited due to the inadmissible welding operations. The surface layer of petroleum waste has been formed over the past two decades, and a similar fire has already been noted in this area in 1972. As a result of the 1996 fire, about 50 thousand tons of oil products were burned out, since even the soil was saturated with volatile fractions at this place. In the fire, the concentration of carbon monoxide exceeded the permissible standards by almost 28 times, nitrogen dioxide - three times, hydrogen sulfide and phenol - more than one and a half times. In residential areas of Krasnoarmeysky district of Volgograd, located 7 km from the fire, as well as in nearby settlements - B. and M. Chapurnikov, Oak Ravine, Chervlenom, Tingut - the content of combustion products in the air also exceeded the maximum permissible concentrations. Divisions of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia ^{[56] [57]} took part in the elimination of this large-scale industrial emergency with severe environmental consequences.

At the end of April 2002, in the area of ​​the settlement of Yugo-Kamsky ( Perm Territory ), as a result of an illegal tie-in, there was a gap in the Perm-Almetyevsk oil product pipeline , owned by LLC Lukoil-Permnefteprodukt. As a result, about 100 tons of diesel fuel spilled on the ground. The outcome of the accident was the ingress of petroleum products into the water supply; for a long time kindergartens were closed in the village, there was no possibility for watering household farms ^[58] .

In the fall of 2003, the EMERCOM of Russia revealed facts of an oil spill due to depressurization of the interfield oil pipeline owned by the Lukoil-Usinskneftegaz Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the territory of the Komi Republic near the town of Usinsk . The area of ​​oil pollution in one case was about 1.8 thousand m², in the second - 377 m² ^[59] .

On March 10, 2007, as a result of depressurization of equipment, petroleum products ignited at the ELOU-AVT-6 unit of the Volgograd Refinery, the fire spread to 500 m², the third category of complexity was assigned to the fire, the installation was disabled for a long period of time ^[60] .

On April 4, 2008, an explosion and a subsequent fire at the plant for the production of polypropylene at the Stavrolen plant killed four workers of the enterprise. ^[61]

January 25, 2011 at about 10:00 (local time) as a result of an oil leak in the engine room of LGPZ (Chamber of Commerce and Industry Langepasneftegaz) a fire occurred. The fire extinguished more than 50 firefighters. The plant has suspended its work .

On December 15, 2011, at around 12:00, at Stavrolen plant, as a result of depressurization of the heat exchanger in workshop 2, a fire and a fire occurred, which could only be eliminated by April 17, 2019. No harm done .

On April 20, 2012, an accident occurred at the Trebs field , developed jointly by Lukoil and Bashneft , which caused significant damage to the natural environment: the spouting of oil from the decommissioned well continued for over a day, which led to large-scale pollution of the territory. According to the press service of the administration of the Nenets Autonomous District, the pollution area exceeded 5 thousand m ² , the volume of spilled oil, according to Bashneft, is 600 tons (figures from independent sources were up to 2.2 thousand tons) ^{[62] [63 ] [64]} .

Enterprises of Lukoil bear a fairly high social burden, especially in oil-producing regions. The share of company employees and their families in the total population of cities is: Langepas - 42.7%, Uray - 29.5%, Kogalym - 37.4% (2004) ^[65] . The company has a number of educational, medical and recreational facilities on its balance sheet. The 2002 Social Code of PJSC “Lukoil” is in force . The expenses of Lukoil for charity in 2010 amounted to 3.2 billion rubles. ^[66]

Lukoil and Sports

In 1997 , when, on the initiative of V. Alekperov , R. Safina and A. Barkov , the Lukoil oil company redirected sponsorship from Ufa to Oktyabrsky ( Republic of Bashkortostan ), where the speedway team was revived - this time with the name " Lukoil ". As a result, already in 1997, the racers of Oktyabrsky mined the club championship in the KCR.

Lukoil also achieved gold in 1999 and 2000, but in 1998 and 2001–2006, it was inferior to its principal rival, Mega-Lada .

Despite the fact that before the 2006 season, the team was left for financial reasons by its leaders - R. Gafurov , S. Vlasov , E. Shaikhullin - Lukoil was still able to impose the fight for the championship and received silver only by the difference in points in personal meetings. However, already in the 2007 season, the bloodless (now without A. Karpov and M. Kalimullin) team took only 4th place.

Before the 2008 season, Lukoil ceased financial relations with the team. The club was forced to withdraw from the championship.

In 2000-2004, the Chelyabinsk football club bore the name of the company; it played in the KFK championship , in the second division and in 2004 it entered the first division . In 2005, the team changed its name to Spartak, in 2006 moved to Nizhny Novgorod and was subsequently disbanded.

Currently, Lukoil is sponsoring competitions for the Team and personal world motorcycle racing championships on ice .

Since 2000, the company has been the general sponsor of the Spartak football club (Moscow) , and since 2003 the owner of the club has been Lukoil vice president Leonid Fedun. Since 2001, the company has been sponsoring the Children's Football League (DFL) . Since 2002, under the auspices of the sports club "Lukoil", DFL and the RFU , the football prize " First Five " has been awarded. In addition, the company is a sponsor of a number of regional Russian teams in various sports. In particular, the company supports the Volgograd water polo club “ Lukoil-Spartak ”), “Lukoil” owns the automobile team “ Lukoil Racing Tim ”, which is one of the leaders of the national motor sport . The Lukoil Racing Team has been participating in the Russian Touring Light ( RTCC ) car championship since 2004. The company also provides support to the Russian Olympic Committee (Lukoil is one of the founders of the Russian Olympians Support Fund). Since 2013, with the support of the Russian Football Union and Football Against Racism in Europe, the company has been implementing the Children's Champions Cup , which brings together 30 clubs in twenty-three countries. “Ambassadors of the competition” in various countries are famous footballers and coaches: in 2013, Edgaras Yankauskas , Igor Dobrovolsky , Vladimir Shmicer , Savo Milosevic became the ambassadors of the Champions' Children Cup. In 2014, Branislav Ivanovich , Dimitar Berbatov , Alexey Smertin , Juris Laizans , Wesley Sneijder joined the project. The curator of the project in world football is Hristo Stoichkov .

In addition to Russia, Lukoil sponsors various sports teams in all countries where it conducts its activities. In Romania, the company sponsors the Rapid football club, in Moldova - Zimbru , in Ukraine it supports the national federation of motorsports, in Bulgaria - the Lukoil-Academic men's basketball club, the Lukoil-Neftohimik women's club, the volleyball and acrobatic clubs of the same name academic rowing, as well as martial arts club "Lukoil-Ikken".

In November 2009, the Russian Federal Anti-Monopoly Service imposed a record fine on the company for violating anti-monopoly legislation - 6.54 billion rubles. Штраф был наложен за зафиксированное в первом полугодии 2009 года злоупотребление доминирующим положением на оптовом рынке нефтепродуктов, выразившееся в «в изъятии товара из обращения» и создании «дискриминационных условий при реализации нефтепродуктов отдельным контрагентам». Как посчитала ФАС, эти действия привели к росту цен на оптовых рынках автомобильных бензинов , дизельного топлива и авиационного керосина в первой половине 2009 года. ^[67]

• Ассоциация малых и средних нефтедобывающих предприятий « Ассонефть » критиковала «Лукойл» и органы власти Республики Коми за предоставление налоговых льгот нефтяным предприятиям региона, обязательным условием которых является добыча не менее 7 млн т нефти в год и (или) переработка не менее 3 млн т. Этим условиям в регионе соответствуют только два предприятия — «Лукойл Коми» и «Лукойл Ухтанефтепереработка». В марте 2007 года стало известно, что Федеральная антимонопольная служба России возбудила в связи с этим дело в отношении госсовета Коми по признакам нарушения ч. 1 ст. 15 закона «О защите конкуренции» в части ограничения конкуренции на рынках добычи и переработки нефти ^{[68] [69]} .
• В октябре 2005 года в центре скандала, связанного с «Лукойлом», оказался тогдашний премьер-министр Литвы Альгирдас Бразаускас . Оппозиционная фракция литовского парламента « Союз Отечества » начала сбор подписей за создание парламентской комиссии по расследованию некоторых фактов предпринимательской деятельности жены Бразаускаса — Кристины Бутримене-Бразаускене — в частности, приобретения ею 38 % акций элитной вильнюсской гостиницы «Crowne Plaza» (бывшей гостиницы «Draugystė», принадлежавшей Совету министров Литовской ССР и ЦК КПЛ) у супруги руководителя компании «Лукойл-Балтия». Обвинения были связаны с тем, что «Лукойл» являлся в тот момент одним из претендентов на пакет акций одного из крупнейших предприятий Литвы — нефтеперерабатывающего завода Mažeikių nafta , ранее принадлежавшего компании ЮКОС . Бразаускас отверг обвинения в коррупции, но признал, что его супруга владеет 51 % акций гостиницы, а ещё 48 % принадлежат его сыну. 22 ноября по настоянию президента страны Валдаса Адамкуса Альгирдас Бразаускас выступил по телевидению, заявив, что не причастен к приватизации гостиницы, а все обвинения должны рассматривать правоохранительные органы, а не парламентская комиссия ^{[70] [71]} .
• 25 февраля 2010 года в Москве служебный автомобиль вице-президента «Лукойла» Анатолия Баркова « Mercedes S-500 » ^[72] столкнулся с автомобилем «Citroën», в котором находились врач Ольга Александрина и известный акушер Вера Михайловна Сидельникова . В результате автомобильной аварии обе женщины погибли ^[73] . ГИБДД выдвинула предварительную версию о виновности в аварии водителя автомобиля «Citroën». ^[74] Дорожно-транспортное происшествие вызвало серьёзный резонанс в обществе ^{[75] [76]} , так как возникло предположение, что ГИБДД пытается снять ответственность с реального виновника аварии — водителя «Мерседеса», который, согласно показаниям очевидцев, объезжал пробку и выехал на встречную полосу ^{[77] [78]} . Есть также предположение, что за рулем «Мерседеса» находился сам вице-президент «Лукойл» ^[79] . Спустя несколько дней после аварии Глава ГИБДД Москвы вынес решение о неполном служебном соответствии командиру батальона ДПС, оформлявшего ДТП на Ленинском проспекте за то, что тот преждевременно назвал водителя «Ситроена» Ольгу Александрину виновницей ДТП ^[80] . Происшествие вызвало общественную реакцию, в частности, была организована акция бойкота заправок этой компании, Андрей Бочаров переозвучил рекламу «Лукойла» по мотивам этого ДТП ^[81] , а Noize MC написал песню «Мерседес S666 (Дорогу Колеснице)» ^[82] .
• В июле 2011 года у «Лукойла» возник конфликт с властями Болгарии. По данным властей балканской страны, на бургасском нефтеперерабатывающем заводе компании не были своевременно установлены приборы учёта изготовленного топлива (применяются при определении величины уплачиваемых акцизов), в результате чего, по утверждению чиновников, «Лукойл» якобы недоплатил в бюджет страны около €250 млн. В итоге предприятие лишилось лицензии и было остановлено, но в начале августа 2011 года завод был вновь запущен ^[83] .
• В марте 2016 года в прессе появились обвинения компании в не правовом приобретении прав на часть виноградников Массандра в Крыму ^{[84] [85]} .
