TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
STRUCTURE
The TNK-BP group has been operating since 1 September 2003. It was • formed by Alfa, Access/Renova (AAR) and BP as a 50/50 enterprise combin-
ing AAR and BP oil and gas assets in Russia and Ukraine.
TNK-BP shareholders also own close to 50% equity interest in Slavneft, which • is separately managed. For more details on Slavneft please see page 6 of
this booklet.
TNK-BP is vertically integrated, privately held and unlisted, although TNK-BP • Holding (referred to on page 5 of this booklet) is quoted on the Russian stock
exchange.
TNK-BP Limited registered in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) consolidates the • assets and business activities of TNK-BP Holding, all other TNK-BP interests
in Russia and abroad, including principally the company’s downstream busi-
ness in Ukraine.
TNK-BP’s main Russian assets, including all crude oil production and oil re-• serves, are held by TNK-BP Holding, an onshore Russian company created
as a key element of TNK-BP’s major corporate restructuring.
TNK-BP is currently Russia’s third largest company in terms of liquids pro-• duction. In 2007 TNK-BP accounted for approximately 18% of Russia’s total
oil production (including its equity share of Slavneft production).
TNK-BP comprises 65,000 people working across Russia and Ukraine.•

TNK-BP Holding
In 2004, a major corporate restructuring was commenced to simplify TNK-• BP’s complex legacy structure (more than 600 legal entities) and improve
transparency and corporate governance.
In 2005, TNK-BP completed two critical steps in its corporate restructuring: •
Heritage holding companies TNK, SIDANCO, and ONAKO merged into –TNK-BP Holding (TBH);
Approximately 70% (by value) of minority shareholders in 14 key TNK- –BP subsidiaries exchanged their shares for shares in TNK-BP Holding
through the voluntary share exchange program.
Upon completion of the voluntary share exchange program, minority –shareholders owned approximately 5% of TNK-BP Holding.
As a result of restructuring, we have rationalized our onshore and offshore • structure and reduced the number of legal entities by approximately 200.
This process continues.

Strategy
1111STRATEGY
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
The strategy is unchanged since the founding of TNK-BP in 2003 and remains
robust. It is fundamentally targeted at growing the value of the company, and
there are four key focus areas:
Resources to reserves to production • (R/P management): deployment of
adequate and innovative capital, international best-practice field-level tech-
nology and advanced computer modeling techniques to deliver continual
reserves replacement and grow production.
Margin enhancement: • targeted midstream and downstream investments to
improve logistics costs, expansion of the company-owned retail network to
capture a greater share of the value chain via delivery of differentiated and
advantaged products (e.g. BP Ultimate) and selective investment in refining
to further enhance and create new high quality products.
Gas: • transformation from an oil group to a major oil and gas group through
monetization of our large free and associated gas opportunity set (targeting
95% gas utilization by end 2011 and the construction of dedicated electric
power assets) and development of TNK-BP’s large gas resource base.
Corporate governance: • corporate restructuring to simplify and improve
transparency, US and International GAAP consolidated reporting and imple-
mentation of international best business practices to further enhance corpo-
rate responsibility and performance delivery.
Two essential enabling mechanisms are specifically targeted to enhance overall
strategy delivery and further develop the TNK-BP contribution to the Russian oil
and gas industry:
Portfolio management: • divest non-strategic assets where others see and
can access greater value in ownership than TNK-BP (thereby enabling higher
activity and investment levels), acquire and develop assets where TNK-BP
can create and access new value and apply distinct skills and capabilities
(in the historic home of TNK-BP – Russia and Ukraine – as well as select
international locations beyond Russia which possess accessible synergies to
the existing TNK-BP capabilities) to support growing the company over the
medium- to long-term.
Organizational capability development:• develop the knowledge, skills and
abilities of employees to match the long-term needs of the business; major
projects, greenfield oil, brownfield oil, new gas as well as the production,
distribution and marketing of high-quality refined products.

EXPLORATION AND APPRAISAL
TNK-BP’s exploration strategy supports the company’s growth aspirations • through:
A balanced approach to Brownfield (short-term production options and –field extensions/satellites in Orenburg and West Siberia) and Greenfield
(new material development hubs like the West Siberia Uvat and Bolshek-
hetsky projects) exploration and appraisal activity.
Access to future growth opportunities in new licenses in existing areas –and frontier Bluefield opportunities – we accessed our first such opportu-
nity in Astrakhan on the Volga Delta in 2006 and our second through ac-
cessing exploration acreage in the proven Timan-Pechora Basin in 2007.
Since 2003 TNK-BP has substantially grown its exploration portfolio from • approximately 1.5 billion barrels to over ten billion barrels in 2007 (including
discovered resources and yet-to-find resources in unexplored acreage but
excluding gas). This is equivalent to over 20 years of current production.
Portfolio growth has been achieved through:•
New license access – over 60 new licenses acquired since 2004 including –27 in 2007 in Brownfield (Saratov and West Siberia), Greenfield (Bolshek-
hetsky) and Bluefield (Timan-Pechora) areas. New discoveries and under-
developed fields have also been purchased in our Brownfield areas. Non-
core licenses in Brownfield and Greenfield have been sold or relinquished.
Exploration and appraisal activity – over 140 wells drilled and approxi- –mately 10,000 sq. km of exploration 3D seismic and nearly 20,000 km
of 2D seismic performed since 2003. In 2007 nearly 50 new wells were
completed with 30 new discoveries and successful appraisal wells. Over
6,300 sq. km of 3D seismic was acquired over existing fields and for ex-
ploration projects and 5,400 km of 2D to meet license obligations.
Implementation of improved exploration standards and techniques in geo- –logical and resource estimations based on seismic models.
Our exploration and appraisal drilling success rate has averaged 65% be-• tween 2003 and 2006. Our 2007 success was over 60%.
Total exploration and appraisal spend has increased five fold since 2003. • In 2007 over $300 million was invested in exploration and appraisal projects.
14UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGYTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
In 2007 further discoveries were made in the Uvat Region and significant • satellite discoveries in Orenburg (Sorochinsko-Nikolskoye and Ananyevskoye
fields) and in West Siberia at the Ust-Vakh field, adjacent to Samotlor, and
Bakhilovsky and Verkhne-Kolik-Yegankoye fields in Business Unit East.
New 3D seismic programs in Orenburg aimed at developing new exploration • satellites have confirmed the presence of undrilled field extensions that are
now being exploited with further development drilling and sidetrack opera-
tions.
In 2007 further well testing and new exploration and appraisal drilling have • confirmed the potential of the Bolshekhetsky project as a significant Green-
field project for TNK-BP. Plans are underway to begin pilot production in the
region in 2009.
In 2007 over 210,000 tons of oil and condensate were produced from suc-• cessful exploration wells and follow-up development activity. The time from
exploration success to full field development has been reduced to less than
6 months in Orenburg (Sorochinsko-Nikolskoye) and less than 12 months in
West Siberia (Bakhilovsky).
In 2008 TNK-BP plans to drill over 60 new wells with over 50% drilled on • Brownfield projects and support development projects in West Siberia,
Orenburg and Uvat. Approximately 5,000 km and 5,000 sq. km of 2D and 3D
seismic are planned. 2008 spend is expected to reach approximately $400
million. Production from E&A activity and follow-up development is forecast to
be over 500,000 tons.

RESERVES
Independent audit conducted by DeGolyer and MacNaughton confirmed • TNK-BP’s Total Proved Reserves at 31 December 2007 as:
8.225 billion barrels of oil equivalent on an SEC life-of-field* (LOF) basis, or –
9.982 billion barrels of oil equivalent on an PRMS** basis –

Note: Numbers are based on reserve audit reports from 31 December 2006 and 2007 prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton. Numbers include proved developed gas reserves and exclude Slavneft.
The figures for 2007 represent a Total Proved Reserves replacement ratio • of 179% on a SEC LOF basis, exceeding for the fifth year in succession the
company’s objective of at least 100% reserve replacement under these crite-
ria; on a PRMS basis reserves replacement was 297%.
Our average Reserves Replacement Rate for the 2004-2007 period was • 143% on a SEC LOF basis.
For the first time, reserves from some of the company’s new greenfield proj-• ects have been included in the proved reserves figures. The first bookings
were made in 2007 for the Verkhnechonskoe field in East Siberia and 2 fields
in the Uvat Region of West Siberia, both of which are under development.
Next reserves audit will confirm reserves at 31 December 2008. Results will • be published during 1Q 2009.
* SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission) regulations set a standard for proved reserves that re-quires a demonstration of continuity of production. TNK-BP quotes Total Proved Reserves to SEC criteria, taken to the economic life of the field rather than to license expiry – SEC LOF.
** PRMS (Petroleum Resources Management System, formerly Society of Petroleum Engineers – SPE) methodology provides a fairer reflection of the total resources available over the life of the field. PRMS guidelines rely on continuity of reservoir geology rather than production. In 2007, some significant changes were made to how SPE non-proved reserves are calculated. These changes have been incorporated into the PRMS definitions but do not impact the calculation of TNK-BP proved reserves stated above.

Reserves replacement ratio (RRR) vs. finding and development (F&D) costs
TNK-BP outperformed most of its peers in organic reserves replacement ratio (3Y RRR for 2005-2007) as well as having the lowest F&D costs per boe of proved reserves increase.
PRODUCTION
In 2007 we produced 78 million tons of oil equivalent.•
Our average 2007 production 2007 was:•
1.6 million barrels/day on a barrel of oil equivalent basis –
1.45 million barrels of oil and condensate per day –
TNK-BP share of Slavneft production in 2007 was approximately • 200 thousand barrels of oil and condensate per day.
TNK-BP production growth for 2008 is expected to be generally flat, rising • later in 2009 after new projects come on line.

Idle well reactivation
TNK-BP operates 145 fields with a total stock of producing wells of approxi-• mately 22,000. At the start of 2008, idle wells stock (including wells under
completion) amounted to 6,140 (29% of the total number of development well
stock). Approximately 80% of idle wells are in eight key fields.
Since the start of operations, TNK-BP has already reactivated about 9,800 • idle wells. In 2008-2011, we plan to spend over $2.5 billion on the idle wells
reduction program, including $756 million in 2008. In 2007 we spent $692
million on well reactivation.
By end 2009, we plan to reduce the number of idle wells to 20% or less of the • total number of wells.

TECHNOLOGY
TNK-BP continues to introduce and apply world best practices in technology
across all its activities, from accessing new license areas, exploration and ap-
praisal, production technology, to refining, marketing, and managing the com-
pany’s major projects.
Seismic technology
TNK-BP is the largest consumer of seismic services in Russia – we account • for around a third of the market in Russia and have an ambitious plan to
cover all our core assets with 3D seismic by the end of 2010.
Our annual volume of 3D seismic acquisition has increased ten fold since • 2003 and 2D programs are likely to double again in 2008 to meet license
commitments associated with our successful new license access strategy.
TNK-BP works closely with some of the best contractors in Russia to improve • efficiency and data quality. We introduced the first foreign crew to West Si-
beria in 2006 and continue to revise our long-term contracting strategy to in-
crease market competition and improve approval and permitting processes.
In 2006 TNK-BP reached international industrial standards in seismic • acquisition:
modern acquisition systems are used – Sercel-408 and Sercel-428, –I/O System-4;
improved remote communications to enhance site and office quality con- –trol – eSQC-Pro on-line seismic acquisition control is now widely used.
In 2007 TNK-BP approached world-class standards of 100,000 traces per sq. • km for conventional 3D survey. We plan to further increase this to 150,000
traces per sq. km in some projects during the next winter season 2008-2009.
2007 saw the introduction of further modern advanced technology, including:•
Introduction of LiDAR (Light Imaging Detection and Ranging) – high preci- –sion laser mapping of sites prior to 3D seismic acquisition. LiDAR survey
was implemented at Yem-Yegovsky field in summer 2007 and the data is
being used for 3D field acquisition at Yem-Yegovsky.
19UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGY
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Low-impact seismic operations associated with further summer seismic –acquisition in West Siberia. Summer 3D acquisition was performed in Uvat
this summer with two contractors BGP and Integra.
Since 2004, TNK-BP has been operating (with WesternGeco) a dedicated • seismic center hosting one of Russia’s largest industrial use computers. The
contract for the centre was recently renewed for a further three years.
Advanced depth and time seismic processing techniques are routinely used • to improve reservoir imaging in complex subsurface areas like Orenburg and
Uvat.
Sixty percent of Russia’s territory lies in permafrost regions. Three quarters of • Russia’s oil and gas resources are deposited in the permafrost zone. TNK-BP
together with Western Geco is working on a new seismic processing technol-
ogy to interpret formations under Russia’s permafrost. Non-homogeneous
permafrost distorts wavelength travel time, making it difficult to image subsur-
face formations.
TNK-BP is actively reviewing the use of multi-component (3D/3C) seismic to • improve data quality in areas impacted by shallow gas. A pilot project was
acquired in 2005, processed in 2006 and is now being evaluated.
TNK-BP is testing new seismic processing technology using multi-focusing • processing techniques to better image the shallow reservoirs at the Russkoye
field where traditionally seismic fold is low and resolution poor. Processing is
being done on both 2D and 3D seismic data.
The multi-processing technique is also being used on 3D decimation trails • to determine whether data quality can be maintained with reduced acquisi-
tion shot and receiver lines. The benefits will be greater efficiency in seismic
acquisition and improved HSE performance and environmental impact.
Interpretation teams regularly use the Visual Modeling Center which was • opened in the Moscow office in 2006. This advanced visualization center
allows teams to rapidly integrate data, review structural and stratigraphic
models and optimize well locations.
20UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGYTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Drilling technology
Recent success of new technologies (e.g. extended reach drilling, multilaterals)
continues to challenge our drilling organization to push our technical boundar-
ies even further. Several technologies that are new to TNK-BP (and in some
cases new to Russia) are being prepared for application mainly in the area of
coiled-tubing drilling. In addition, casing drilling applicability to our fields’ specific
conditions is now undergoing deeper study.
Coiled tubing drilling (CTD) – TNK-BP senior management is confident in • this technology’s ability to deliver a step change in drilling performance. The
forward plan includes development of CTD capability in two business units:
Orenburg and Samotlor.
Hybrid CTD is a new approach where drilling on conventional drill pipe can • be alternated with CTD (where it makes most economic sense) in the same
well at different stages and at various depths of well construction. This ap-
plication will provide great flexibility in our approach to drilling wells, but
requires unique equipment and well design processes. It ultimately has the
potential to cut our drilling time by up to two-thirds in Business Unit Samotlor.
The application of under-balanced drilling reduces drilling risks and formation dam-• age when subsurface conditions are complex, and pore pressures are naturally
low. The combination of under-balanced and coiled tubing drilling will be tested in
BU Orenburg – potentially reducing drilling time and increasing well productivity.
Casing drilling – technology that uses the casing string to drill ahead, impart-• ing rotation to a rotary shoe as opposed to a bit via the conventional drill
string. More detailed studies in Orenburg and Samotlor will take place this
year to measure the value of this technology to our business. Benefits are
expected in the areas of time savings and operational safety.
TNK-BP operates about 100 drilling rigs, and this fleet is growing and con-• stantly modernizing. Worldwide best practices and internal technical exper-
tise are continuously being deployed to transform our drilling performance.
21UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGY
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Well work technology
TNK-BP well work has evolved during the past few years and activities include
hydraulic fracturing, down hole equipment optimizations, improvement of ESP
(electric submersible pump) run life, bottom-hole acid treatments and recomple-
tions. These enabling technologies are allowing enhanced development of
mature Brownfield assets.
Hydraulic fracturing technology underwent a step change in volume per-• formance during 2004 by completing over 1,500 jobs across TNK-BP and
delivered more than 50 million barrels of oil. Candidate well selection, fractur-
ing design and quality control of fracturing equipment and service continue
as important elements that influence well work success. Over 1,000 fracturing
jobs add nearly 40 million barrels of oil every year.
Successful pilots to optimize ESPs during 2003 and 2004 led to significant • work during 2005. Over 700 jobs are completed across TNK-BP adding
20 million barrels of oil production every year. Downhole optimization work
focuses on candidate selection and equipment design. Training program pilot
projects are now underway to enhance skill levels.
Improving ESP run life to 600 days by 2011 is a major initiative that involves • coordination of activities across several TNK-BP business streams. Signifi-
cant improvement to Mean Time Between Failure has been made since July
2006 when run life was about 300 days. By end 1Q 2008, this had risen to
385 days – a direct result of using more reliable equipment and expanding
a number of successful pilot programs. Run life is now at record high levels
in the 4.5 year history of TNK-BP. Successful implementation of a Group
Analysis and Monitoring System during 2007 was used to support a strategic
change that will further improve equipment reliability across the company.
Treatment of formation pay zones with hydrochloric acid is termed Bottom-• Hole Treatment (BHT) technology. The number of BHT’s has tripled since 2004.
Nearly 1,500 jobs are completed across TNK-BP adding 25 million barrels of oil
every year. The technology of diverted acid treatments has been successfully
introduced. Incremental gains during 2007 are nearly 20 tons per day versus
10 tons from conventional treatments.
22UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGYTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
A well work technology called Radial Drilling was recently introduced to TNK-• BP. The radial drilling process uses a flexible tube to jet radial holes into the
formation with high-pressure liquids. It allows 50 millimeter radial channels to
penetrate up to 100 meters into the oil zone (compared to conventional per-
foration of 0.5-1.2 meter length holes). Radial drilling is a low-cost method to
produce bypassed pay near water by reaching beyond damage intervals of
the wellbore, improving drainage areas and enhancing water injection. Cur-
rently a pilot is underway in Samotlor to test this technology. Radial Drilling
well work offers an alternative method to improve reservoir access and re-
cover missed oil. An expanded program is being organized for later in 2008.
Reservoir management
Reservoir management utilizes a number of techniques to maintain reservoir
pressure and ensure maximum recovery, including waterflood optimizations,
sidetracking, and horizontal drilling with geosteering. Reservoir management
improvements are delivered through the implementation of multi-disciplinary
teams with a comprehensive toolbox of technical analysis and reservoir surveil-
lance techniques.
Optimizing waterflood systems – these pressure maintenance systems are • individually tailored to the characteristics of each field. System elements in-
clude reconfiguration of waterflood patterns, conversions of existing produc-
ing wells to injector wells, and conducting infield drilling. Integrated water-
flood management has resulted in field-scale waterflood response in several
areas across TNK-BP, increasing recovery.
Gas injection to produce additional oil in mature waterfloods is being evalu-• ated for pilot testing. This could increase production by improving reservoir
voidage replacement and by mobilizing oil which can not be recovered
through water injection.
Sidetracking is an important technique used to improve reservoir access to • bypassed reserves. It is a key production growth tool in our mature fields.
Sidetracking allows us to increase recovery while utilizing our idle well stock.
Horizontal drilling with geosteering allows us to locate wells in unswept oil • pockets, improving oil recovery rates by up to 50%. In 2007 TNK-BP drilled
more than 100 horizontal wells with geosteering, and this number is antici-
pated to grow to more than 200 per year by 2009.
23UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGY
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Multi-lateral wells – a technology to drill complex wells, which permits two or • more well bores to be drilled off the main mother bore further into the produc-
tion zone, thereby increasing the productivity of the well and accessing more
efficient reserves per well. We drilled our first multi-lateral well in 2007 with an
initial rate over 200 tons per day. Multi-laterals wells are a significant technol-
ogy for development of fields with thin or low geologic quality.

Note: sidetrack wells and horizontal wells are not mutually exclusive. Most sidetracks are now horizontal wells.
Heavy oil recovery – TNK-BP’s asset base includes large undeveloped • resources of heavy viscous oil. Its production requires new technologies not
commonly used in Russia today:
During 2007, horizontal wells were successfully drilled and production –tested in both the Vanyogan and Russkoye license areas.
Multi-lateral wells to enable economic rates and access to secondary –reserves. Multi-lateral wells can reach up to 2,500 meters and produce oil
at 8 to 10 times the rate of standard vertical wells.
Steam flooding, which heats the oil, reducing its viscosity and resistance to –flow. This process is currently being appraised for TNK-BP’s viscous fields.

Multi-disciplinary teams have improved transfer of ideas from geoscientists • to reservoir engineers and from production engineers to drillers to optimize
integration of field development plans:
Geologists, geophysicists and petrophysicists work together to confirm –the depositional environment and determine how it impacts property
modeling between wells.
The geologic model is integrated with information from production and –reservoir engineers to help assess reservoir compartment sizes and de-
velopment techniques to optimize well design.
Advances in the technical toolbox include the development of fit-for-purpose • solutions which can be employed by a wide range of specialists throughout
the company, ranging from the simple to the complex, including:
Decline curve and Block Analysis techniques which can be used by any –production engineer in the regions.
Integrated modeling solutions which allow new drilling and surveillance –data to be rapidly integrated into geologic and reservoir models decreas-
ing the time needed to update models.
Integrated uncertainty modeling which combines monte carlo statistical –analysis techniques with geologic and reservoir modeling packages to
allow rapid assessment of the impact of fluid, rock, and hydrodynamic

MAJOR PROJECTS
TNK-BP is developing over a dozen new major projects the realization of which
will ensure the company’s sustainability over the long term. Many of these proj-
ects are located in remote areas with limited or no infrastructure and require sig-
nificant investment of capital and technology. The more advanced are several
large greenfield projects: the Uvat group of fields and the Bolshekhetsky project
in West Siberia, and the Verkhnechonskoye field in East Siberia.
TNK-BP’s major upstream projects
Uvat group of fields
Located in the south of the Tyumen Region in the south of West Siberia, LLC • TNK-Uvat has the license to develop fields across nine license areas stretch-
ing 200 km west-to-east.
Estimated recoverable reserves in the range of approximately 1.3 billion • barrels.

and is being analyzed for Eastern and Central Hubs.
27UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGY
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Pilot production and extended well testing is being performed in 2008 on four • Central Hub discoveries to improve the understanding of reservoir productiv-
ity and deliverability.
Four high-capacity, winterised drilling rigs (Deutag) were purchased to en-• able long-reach, horizontal drilling to increase well productivity and minimize
environmental impact due to reduced number of well pads.
Two well pads on Eastern Hub completed. Development well drilling is in • progress. Central processing facility and multiphase pump system construc-
tion set up.
Regional infrastructure project implementation is in progress (530 mm • pipeline and winter road) to improve logistics and connections with major
trunk lines.
Total expected capital expenditure of approximately $7-8 billion. •
Early oil is expected at about 40 thousand barrels/day (1.9 million tons/year) • by 2009. First stage of commercial development will have production of
about 3-5 million tons/year (60-100 thousand barrels/day) by end of 2010.
Full scale plateau production could deliver 7 million tons/year.
Verkhnechonskoye field
Verkhnechonskoye field is the largest oilfield in East Siberia, discovered • in 1978. It is located about 1,100 km north of Irkutsk in an area with limited oil
industry infrastructure.
TNK-BP holds a 68.5% interest in Verkhnechonskneftegas, which is the • license holder for the development of the Verkhnechonskoye field. Rosneft
is another major shareholder.
Verkhnechonskoye has current estimated recoverable resources of about • 1.4 billion barrels (approximately 200 million tons) of oil. Total estimated
CAPEX about $4-5 billion.
The project will be developed in three stages:•
Minimum Pilot Project to gather high-quality reservoir data, reduce un- –certainty, and provide information to support full field development (FFD)
decision. This Project was completed on 31 December 2007.
28UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGYTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Early Oil Project includes construction of a pipeline to link the field to the –East Siberia Pacific Ocean pipeline (ESPO), currently under construction
by Transneft (expected reverse flow start-up schedule by the middle of
2008), construction of a road to the neighboring Talakan field, and instal-
lation of associated infrastructure. Target production level for the Early Oil
stage is estimated at 1-1.5 million tons/year from the end of 2008. Prepa-
ration works for the construction of a 85 km pipeline, which will link Verkh-
nechonskoye to the ESPO pipeline began in October 2007. Construction
planned to complete 2H 2008.

Bolshekhetsky project
The project started in 2004 with the acquisition of three undeveloped fields – • Suzunskoye, Tagulskoye and Russko-Rechenskoye in the Bolshekhets-
kaya depression in the northern part of East Siberia from Slavneft. Over the
2005-2007 period TNK-BP strengthened its position in the region and cur-
rently the Bolshekhetsky project comprises 11 license areas.
Ultimate reserves amount to around 1.55 billion barrels. •
A 3rd stage of the exploration program is planned with expected reserves • addition of 0.3 billion barrels.
Suzunskoye is the most thoroughly explored field bearing high-quality light • crude; options for accelerated development are being examined.
In 2007 preparatory operations for pilot development at Suzunskoye field • were commenced. Early oil is expected in 4Q 2008.
Plateau production could reach up to 8 million tons/year in full field develop-• ment.
Kamennoye field
The Kamennoye field is part of the Nyagan group of fields located in the Tyu-• men Region and has estimated oil in place of 8.5 billion barrels (1.1 billion
tons). Discovered some decades ago, it was considered “undevelopable” at
the time. TNK-BP is using leading technologies such as 3D modeling, new
fracturing technologies, water injection and others which have allowed us to
re-evaluate the field’s potential and re-prioritize reserves.
TNK-BP has some existing production at the Southern part of Kamennoye • (currently at around 3,000 tons/day) and is also studying opportunities to
develop the Northern part of the field (Northern hub) from early 2009.
In the Northern hub (Aitor and Poima areas) conceptual engineering and • reservoir modeling are underway, expected to complete mid 2008.
Plateau production at around 8-10 million tons/year (160-200 thousand bar-• rels/day) could be achieved in the full field development scenario.
30UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGYTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Viscous oil projects
TNK-BP’s undeveloped resources include significant amounts of viscous, • heavy oil. Its development is complicated by heavy crude properties.
The two major projects are the Russkoye and Vanyogan fields, which are • both currently undergoing pilot activities.
The Russkoye field is located in the Yamal-Nenents Autonomous District in • West Siberia above the Arctic Circle; estimated reserves are over 2 billion
barrels of oil. TNK-BP is testing new seismic processing technology to bet-
ter image the shallow reservoirs where traditionally seismic fold is low and
resolution poor.
TNK-BP is evaluating technology for heavy oil recovery and performing fea-• sibility studies for the development of Russkoye. During successful 2007 pilot
activity, two new horizontal wells with progressive cavity pump completions
were tested and showed initial production rates of over 100 tons/day per well.
An exploration well aimed at testing the potential for lighter crude in deep • reservoirs will be completed in 2008.
For 2009, technology pilots are being planned to test enhanced oil recovery • options.
At the Vanyogan field sustained well testing over the two past years has • proved viscous oil production potential.
Several horizontal test wells were drilled during 2007 pilot activities at Vanyo-• gan. Good initial production rates were recorded.

INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Initially, the geographic scope of TNK-BP’s business activities was focused • on the territory of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Subsequently the
shareholders have agreed that the company may pursue economically
attractive opportunities in certain other countries – especially those where
TNK-BP may be able to deliver unique skills, experience and competitive
advantage. These include:
Venezuela
In the second half of 2007, TNK-BP signed an agreement with the Venezuelan • state company Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) to conduct a joint re-
serves certification study for the Ayacucho number 2 block onshore in the Ori-
noco delta. The initial term of the agreement is for 18 months from the date of
signing and a joint working group has been established. If this work proves suc-
cessful to both parties, it may subsequently lead to a joint venture with PDVSA.
Turkmenistan
TNK-BP is interested in evaluating business opportunities, particularly in • some onshore mature Turkmen fields where its successful Russian mature
field experience can bring particular benefits to Turkmenistan. To date no
specific deals have been agreed but this work is ongoing and we have es-
tablished a representative office in Turkmenistan.

OILFIELD SERVICES
Oilfield Services (OFS) has almost completed the divestments of non-core • services started in 2003-2004 and is now entirely focused on enhancing
the efficiency and value of its services for Upstream. OFS portfolio currently
includes four core activity sets:
Drilling; –
Sidetracking; –
Capital and current well workovers; –
Cementing. –
There are currently ten companies in TNK-BP’s OFS – six operational and • four asset management companies.
In 1Q 2008 over 7,000 people were employed in OFS. •
In 2008 we plan to continue improving the management of our core services. • We will further consolidate OFS assets through organizational changes and
optimize ownership of assets (a certain number of drill rigs have already
been purchased by OFS from the company’s Upstream companies).
OFS long-term objectives include improved efficiency and quality of services, • leadership in HSE, and development of internal competitive advantages.
Some results from 2007 include: 729,000 meters drilled, 359 wells handed • over to the client, in excess of 11,700 capital and current well workovers
completed.
The first phase of a comprehensive rig modernization program is complete, • with over $130 million invested in technical upgrade of equipment. This
program resulted in improved drilling efficiency and work safety and reduced
drilling cycle. In addition, eight new pulling rigs were acquired in 2007 for well
workovers.
As a result of recent tenders, long-term contracts with Upstream now ac-• count for 49% of OFS total drilling and sidetracking work, and for 65% of its
well workover operations.

TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
During 2007, we introduced Enterprise Wide Risk Management at OFS • subsidiaries, performed an audit of the rig fleet, made substantial progress in
reducing the number of major and serious incidents per 200,000 man-hours,
and launched a new program of cooperation with educational institutions in
Russia.
Commencing in 2008, drill rigs that are not currently used by TNK-BP will • be reactivated, upgraded and refitted, and drill crews recruited and trained
to provide services to third-party customers. The project will enable OFS to
develop the skills necessary to succeed in a competitive market, win market
share, build a reputation as reliable and efficient contractor, and increase
earnings. In 1Q 2008 two drill crews commenced work for third parties.
We continue to improve the Quality Management System which has been • implemented to ensure continuous improvement in quality of services de-
livered to Upstream. Quality Directors responsible for delivering this system
have been placed in each service company. Regular annual audits since
2005 show continuous improvement in the quality of services. One important
achievement is a substantial reduction in the number of major and serious in-
cidents in the drilling and well workover segments in 2007 compared to 2006:
In 4Q 2007 OFS introduced a Quality Passport which will be issued to around • 7,000 employees in OFS and the regional operating units. The Quality Passport
serves as a record for each employee’s certification and training. The pass-
ports demonstrate the company’s commitment to training, HSE, and a “one
company” spirit, and provide management with a tool to monitor training gaps
and recognize individual contributions and achievements.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
TNK-BP spends over $6 billion a year on goods and services in Russia. Ninety
percent of this is contracted domestically. Traditional purchasing on request to
meet internal demand is now replaced by supply chain management that gives
TNK-BP Supply Chain management (SCM) an important role in connecting
markets with internal business requirements, identifying value drivers in supply
chains and managing suppliers and contractors to deliver the best value for the
company.

Supply Chain strategy
In 2004 we developed the TNK-BP Supply Chain strategy with the vision to de-
velop a best-in-class supply chain system by:
Focusing on generating value from key sectors of procurement by creating • cross-functional sector teams.
Measuring and managing contractor and supplier performance.•
Developing effective flexibility and transparency processes into our Supply Chain.•
To fulfil this strategy we have made commitments to improve our processes,
systems and capabilities and have delivered significant progress:
Currently there are 11 cross-functional sector teams operating in critical up-• stream sectors (drilling and drilling services, sidetracking, workover, seismic,
fracturing, tubulars, perforating and logging, capital construction, chemicals,
mean time between failure, and power generation) and covering about $3.8
billion of spend. These teams monitor key markets and develop TNK-BP
strategies on how to place our demand most effectively in terms of overall
value delivery.
In line with our strategy, we are moving towards longer-term relationships • with vendors that allow for better pricing, enhanced quality through technical
cooperation and which encourage our partners to invest into innovation and
development. We were the first company in Russia to have signed a long-
term contract for pipe supplies with TMK, the world’s second largest pipe
manufacturer. This contract has now been expanded and extended for a
further five years at a value of approximately $2 billion.
37UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGY
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Currently we are aiming at achieving about 60% coverage by long-term con-• tracts of high spend and critical materials and about 55% of key upstream
services. TNK-BP were the first in Russia to issue large scale long-term ten-
ders for drilling, workovers and sidetracking.
At the end 2007 TNK-BP awarded long-term contracts totaling over $3 billion • for drilling and workovers, including $1 billion in long-term contracts for TNK-
BP’s own drilling and workover companies. The scope covers over 60 drilling
rigs and 300 workover rigs to support its upstream operations.
Among the winners there were two new players for the Russian market – • Weatherford and Nabors. They plan to mobilize modern high tech rigs in
Q3 2008.
Due to the long-term contracts for workover we now have the ability to use • specialized contractors for fishing and well killing to drive operational effi-
ciency.
The Supply Chain Excellence (SCE) program launched last year is aiming to • structure the company’s demand and to place it in the marketplace in such a
way that TNK-BP derives the maximum benefit in terms of cost, performance
and value. There are three major initiatives within the SCE program:
Organization structure development –The changes are aimed at moving execution closer to the business whilst
leveraging the buying power of TNK-BP. This will accelerate the work of
our sector and sourcing teams. The changes will broaden supply chain
capability across TNK-BP with new SC teams in both Upstream and
Downstream.
38UPSTREAM AND TECHNOLOGYTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Business Processes and Systems Program –In our procurement practices we strive to combine the requirements of
transparent, defined processes coupled with front-end controls with the
need for flexibility and delegation of authority to individuals capable to
make the best business decisions.
Automation is essential to connect internal demand to markets. In 2007
we launched new systems for P2I (Purchase-To-Invoice), Materials Man-
agement and Materials Catalogue. Benefits of automation include: a) data
integrity (no errors and paper work); b) time (the purchase order in on
Buyers’ desk in 24 hours with MRP* already done).
Work is ongoing to create a unique system in the Upstream which will
integrate forecasting, planning, demand management and purchasing
into a single system (Group Finance and Logistic – GFL). The program
commenced in January 2008 and is expected go live in July 2008 in Nizh-
nevartovsk.
Capability development –TNK-BP were the first in Russia to implement a large scale world-class
training program in supply chain management. In this undertaking we are
supported by two internationally recognized institutions: the Chartered
Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) and the Accenture Supply
Chain Academy.
Currently we have over 700 employees using the Supply Chain Academy
courses online and 240 employees who have successfully completed the
CIPS classroom training. We now have 195 individuals certified as re-
sponsible buyers by CIPS.

REFINING
In refining we have invested to improve the integrity and condition of the operat-• ing plants in our refineries. The actual 2007 integrity investment of $17 million will
more than double in 2008. The overall investment in our refineries in 2007 was
$140 million. The company is planning to spend nearly twice as much in 2008.
The refineries continue to operate at a throughput close to maximum. The • planned crude throughput for our Russian refineries in 2008 is over 29.5 mil-
lion tons, and together with Lisichansk Refinery in Ukraine – 34.5 million tons.
We have increased our average refining availability from 85% in 2003 to almost • 92% in 2007. 2008 shall see the operational availability index at 94%, and we are
driving toward international benchmark levels of 95-96% in the next two years.
We are gradually reducing production of fuel oil through investment projects • such as visbreaking and maximizing bitumen production.
Over the last two years, we launched production of several new and cleaner • products at our refineries, including low-sulphur gas oil at Ryazan, Lisichan-
sk and YANOS refineries, M-grade gasoline at Lisichansk and BP Ultimate
gasoline at Ryazan.
Future investments will expand our production capability for low-sulphur • diesel and Euro spec gasoline. In Q3 2008 Ryazan Refinery will start produc-
ing 1.7 million tons/year of 10 ppm diesel fuel. The company is investing $50
million in the project. Currently implementation of the isomerization project at
Saratov Refinery is in progress, which will enable production of 400 thousand
tons of Euro-4 gasoline per year. The estimated project budget is $45 million.
We are improving our ability to optimize our gasoline blending by reducing • quality (octane) giveaway while maintaining the specification requirements.
Recently, we completed the implementation of the Laboratory Information
Management (LIMs) system at all our refineries (including YANOS).

employees were involved in the turnaround with a budget of over $47 million.
Lessons learned from the Ryazan Refinery were incorporated into the plan-
ning of the Saratov Refinery turnaround, which commenced in October and
was successfully completed within the original budget of $4.5 million in early
November. During the turnaround, all refinery units had to be shut down,
and over 850 contract staff worked on the site at peak. Overall, over 680,000
man-hours were completed without any LTIs (Lost Time Incidents). We are
also working with Rostekhnadzor to gain approval for extended turnaround
cycle lengths for some of our units.
In July 2007, we completed implementation of the SAP project at Ryazan, • delivering a major improvement to business processes, including procure-
ment, maintenance, finance, and HR. A team to implement SAP at the Sara-
tov Refinery will be mobilized during 2008.
In the fall of 2008 we are planning to conduct a turnaround of most large • units at Lisichansk Refinery. The planned budget is $6.2 million. During the
second half of the year we will perform work at 12 units of Ryazan Refinery
within a turnaround budget of approximately $40 million.
Over the next five years, we plan to invest more than $1 billion in refining. • Essentially all of this will be directed towards maximizing the value of pro-
duction from the existing assets. In order to detail our long-term plans we
are currently modifying the master-plans for each refinery to determine tech-

MARKETING AND SALES
In marketing, TNK-BP pursues a dual-brand retailing strategy with each brand • targeting different client segments. The BP brand is deployed in highly urban-
ized markets such as Moscow and St. Petersburg and recently Kiev while
the TNK brand is deployed in these markets as well as in selected regions of
Russia and Ukraine. We plan approximately $500 million of organic invest-
ment into our existing marketing assets over the next five years.
The TNK brand operates in Ryazan, Tula, Kaluga, Kursk, Karelia, Moscow, • Rostov, Saratov, Kiev, Krasnodar, and Saint-Petersburg. It has undergone
recent renovation resulting in a new look for TNK retail sites. The goal was to
create a distinct and relevant brand positioning, which will increase customer
trust and loyalty as we improve the quality of services and products. By 1
September 2008, 375 TNK own sites in Russia will have the new look and
feel, new operating standards, and new shops.
In addition to company-owned sites, the TNK brand is also marketed through • “jobbers” – these companies are supplied fuel, carry our brand and agree to
comply with our standards. Jobbers allow us to extend our brand into areas
where we do not invest capital ourselves. Currently, there are 529 branded
jobber sites in the TNK retail network. We currently have 115 jobber sites with
the new TNK look and feel, and plan to have over 170 of these by the end of
the year.
TNK-BP is expanding its retail presence in a number of regions:•
In St. Petersburg TNK-BP plans to build 60 retail sites at a total cost of –$150 million over the next three-five years. Of the total, 40 sites will carry
the TNK brand, while 20 will sell BP-branded fuels. We have completed
the first three TNK sites, which were launched in 2007, with nine other
sites under active design and construction. The first BP site in Saint-Pe-
tersburg commenced trading in December 2007 with the Grand Opening

TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
TNK-BP’s goal is to substantially enhance its gas business as a portion of its over-
all business and transform itself from an oil group into a major oil and gas group.
TNK-BP aims to achieve this by exploiting it’s significant associated natural gas
resources through a gas utilization enhancement plan to take total gas utilization
across the company to over 95% by the end of 2011 and through developing its
gas or gas and condensate projects such as Rospan. The major activities under-
way in 2008 to support TNK-BP’s Gas Business strategy include:
Associated gas
TNK-BP has embarked on a commitment to invest more than $1 billion over the • next five years to materially enhance its overall associated gas utilization to a
rate in excess of 95% by end 2011. This program will involve the construction
of new gas gathering and processing facilities, gas re-injection as well as the
construction of “own use” new gas-fired electric power facilities.
In 2007 the company produced 12.5 billion cubic meters of associated petro-• leum gas (APG). Of this volume, 1.1 billion cubic meters was consumed for
internal needs and 7.43 billion cubic meters were processed. The APG utiliza-
tion rate was 69%.
On 15 November 2006 TNK-BP and SIBUR Holding (Gazprom subsidiary) an-• nounced the creation of a joint venture to process associated gas produced
by TNK-BP and other oil and gas companies in the Nizhnevartovsk Region.
The parties now own 49% and 51% in the new company Yugragazpererabotka
respectively and equally share management control.
Under the terms of the venture, TNK-BP supplies associated gas from its fields • to the gas processing plants at Belozerny and Nizhnevartovsk (which have
been transferred to the JV by SIBUR).TNK-BP receives 100% of dry lean gas
produced from the associated gas and SIBUR receives 100% of liquid prod-
ucts. Dry lean gas is then supplied to the Nizhnevartovsk state district power
plant, which delivers electricity to the city of Nizhnevartovsk and other consum-
ers. This JV is helping TNK-BP to monetize the associated gas it produces and
reduce gas flaring. Improving the gas utilization rate will also lead to the reduc-
tion of greenhouse gas emissions.
In May 2007, an incident took place at the Belozerny Gas Processing Plant (GPP), • which led to the suspension of operations of one of the two processing units.
This contributed to the decline of TNK-BP’s overall APG utilization rate in 2007.
Yugragaspererabotka invested 1 billion rubles in reconstruction of the unit, which
was launched again in March 2008. Once the unit resumed operations, the GPP
began operating at full capacity of 4 billion cubic meters/year.
50GASTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Additional measures were put in place to enhance safety at the plant. They in-• cluded new alarm systems and emergency shut down procedures. A new HSE
awareness program was launched to motivate employees to pay greater atten-
tion to safety issues. Regular audits are being conducted to enhance the facility’s
safety awareness, and improve performance.
Yugragazpererabotka is considering options to build an additional processing unit • at the Belozerny GPP, which would increase processing capacity by another 1.5
billion cubic meters in 2011.
The Nizhnevartovsk GPP (also part of the Yugragazpererabotka JV) plans to com-• plete reconstruction and launch the plant’s third gas absorption unit by the end of
2008. This will enable the facility to process an additional 750 million cubic meters.
All together, the commissioning of the third unit, construction of the third compres-
sor station and expansion of units at the Belozerny GPP will provide additional
processing capacity of 3 billion cubic meters/year of associated gas by 2011. This
will be in addition to the 8.280 billion cubic meters of currently available capacity.
Associated gas regional overview
Power
In September 2007, TNK-BP and power generation company OGK-1 signed a • shareholder agreement laying the foundation for a joint venture. This JV will build

TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
the third unit of the regional power plant in Nizhnevartovsk. OGK-1 will contrib-
ute two existing blocks of the Nizhnevartovsk power plant (capacity 1,600 MWT)
and TNK-BP will contribute $320 million. OGK-1 will control 75% in the JV and
TNK-BP will have a 25% stake.
TNK-BP currently supplies 3 billion cubic meters of gas per year to the existing • blocks of the power plant. Once the new block is completed, TNK-BP will sup-
ply an additional 1.2 billion cubic meters of gas per year to the 3rd block under
a 15-year agreement. In addition, TNK-BP plans to purchase approximately 6
million kilowatt-hours per year from the 3rd block under a parallel 15-year agree-
ment. Commercial agreements are due to be signed in 2008.
Rospan
TNK-BP owns a 100% interest in Rospan, a gas and condensate production as-• set located in Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District of Northern Russia.
Rospan’s commercial gas sales reached approximately 1.5 billion cubic meters • in 2005 on a gross basis and approximately 2.7 billion cubic meters per year in
2006 (i.e. a 80% increase in annual sales volumes).
In 1Q 2008 TNK-BP agreed with Gazprom to sell 2.7 billion cubic meters of • Rospan’s gas into the Gazprom pipeline system in 2008. In addition, Gazprom sub-
sidiary Mezhregiongaz and Rospan agreed to establish a JV to market Rospan’s
gas. Another purpose of these steps is to create a basis for further development of
Rospan, and enhance its production over time.
TNK-BP invested approximately $58 million of capital expenditures in 2006 and • $105 million in 2007 to further Rospan’s activities. The investment will support
Rospan’s ongoing operations through upgrades of existing facilities and the com-
pletion of new wells, and interpretation of 3D seismic surveys.
Kovykta
On 22 June 2007 TNK-BP, Gazprom and BP executed a “Heads of Terms” agreement, • the provisions of which included the sale of TNK-BP’s interests in RUSIA Petroleum and
East Siberian Gas Company (ESGC) to Gazprom for a price of between $700-$900 mil-
lion (to be finalized once necessary due diligence and adjustments have been made).
TNK-BP has an option to re-enter the project at blocking stake level under certain condi-
tions. This sale is part of a broader agreement between TNK-BP, Gazprom and BP to
invest jointly in major long-term energy projects in Russia and around the world.

TNK-BP strives to ensure that all its activities are conducted with proper re-
gard for the safety of its employees and the environment. TNK-BP’s integrated
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Management System is based on com-
pliance with the statutory requirements in this area and voluntarily established
standards supported by the company’s HSE Policy. The company’s goal in HSE
is no accidents, no harm to people, and no damage to the environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Environmentally, TNK-BP is focused on three key objectives: land remedia-• tion, associated gas utilization, and pipeline integrity management.
Land remediation
A program to remediate the “legacy pollution” (land polluted during previous • years of operation by heritage companies or prior license holders) and de-
commissioning industrial facilities has been underway since 2005. As a result,
more than 1,700 hectares of land have been fully remediated and handed
over to authorized government commissions at a cost of close to $50 million.
Commencing 2006, obsolete and defunct facilities at Ryazan and Saratov
refineries have been successfully dismantled as part of the decommissioning
of Downstream operational facilities.
The company plans to remediate legacy pollution by 2014.•
60HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTTNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
Associated gas utilization
Associated gas utilization is an important strategic area for TNK-BP, since • it leads to the reduction of atmospheric emissions and ensures compliance
with the company’s license obligations. The company continues to implement
programs to increase the associated gas utilization rate in Nizhnevartovsk
and Orenburg regions. Plans for the next two years include:
Expansion of the Zaikinsky Gas Processing Plant and Pokrovsky Gas –Compressor Station in the Orenburg Region.
Construction of a gas collection system in the Nizhnevartovsk Region. –
Further expansion of the Nizhnevartovsk and Belozerny gas processing –plants.
Total capital investment in associated gas utilization projects is likely to • exceed $1.1 billion by end 2011 to reach 95% utilization rate. This will allow
TNK-BP to reduce atmospheric emissions caused by flaring of associated
gas as well as ensure its commercial utilization.
Extinguishing flares and building gas pipelines has allowed a number of JSC • “Orenburgneft” fields to comply with emissions standards. Plans are also in
place to commission newly constructed pipelines at Skvortsovskoye, Kruto-
yarskoye, and Kurmanaevskoye fields.
Pipeline integrity management
TNK-BP operates approximately 25,000 km of infield pipelines. About 40% of • the pipelines were commissioned more than 15 years ago.
61HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
TNK-BP INFORMATION SHEET
A five-year Pipeline Integrity Management program amounting to $1.7 billion • has been in effect since 2004 to reduce the number of leaks from the com-
pany’s pipelines. The program covers two areas:
replacement of worn-out pipelines; –
implementation of new technologies to improve condition and protect –existing pipelines.
By the end of 2007, $380 million had been spent on pipeline replacement • and corrosion control. Since 2004, 2,650 km of pipelines have been replaced
and 8,600 km of pipelines have been treated with corrosion inhibitors to pre-
vent environmental damage. These activities have led to a 40% reduction of
the total number of pipeline leaks since 2004 and a 35% reduction of spills in
the reporting year since 2006.

SAFETY
Employee safety is one of the main priorities for TNK-BP. Operations proce-• dures are constantly improved, equipment is updated, a more responsible
attitude towards work safety is promoted, and management is encouraged to
lead by example.
In 2007 TNK-BP focused on three key activities in the area of safety:•
improving management’s overall safety leadership capabilities; –
raising the level of HSE awareness in contractor management; –
enhancing risk management competencies. –
These activities have resulted in improvement of safety performance indica-• tors as follows:
work-related fatalities decreased by 13% in 2007; –
the number of injuries causing temporary disability per 200,000 man- –hours fell from 0.23 in June 2004 to 0.14 in December 2007.
In 2003, the issue of standard personal protective equipment was identified • as one of the most critical in the company. To address this issue, a targeted
program was introduced across the company. Currently all relevant work-
force are issued a kit of modern and effective winter and summer protective
equipment each year.
A special focus is placed on transportation safety, which was identified as anoth-• er high-risk area. Almost 100% of the company’s drivers have signed a standard
safe driving agreement stipulating their responsibility to comply with the TNK-BP
Technical Standard on Transportation Safety. A seatbelt installation program was
implemented according to plan in the reporting year. More than 15,000 drivers
were trained in defensive or winter driving. In 2007 we conducted a Transporta-

The trading environment in 2007 was stronger than 2006 with Urals increas-• ing by 13%, domestic crude prices by 11%, with further support from stron-
ger product markets. Average TIL realizations in 2007 showed an increase
of 15%.
Adjusting for the effects of Udmurtneft sales in 2006 the underlying year-on-• year increase in Total Revenues is 9%.
Production volumes of oil and condensate amounted to 1.452 million barrels/• day for 2007 (excluding Slavneft). After adjusting for the Udmurtneft volumes
in 2006, underlying production levels were largely unchanged year-on-year.
The business environment was affected by other external factors which had • an adverse effect on costs. A 5% appreciation of the ruble relative to the
US dollar caused an increase in dollar terms of ruble denominated costs. In
addition, the business continued to experience the wider effect of inflation in
the oil services sector including both field operations and transportation. The
estimated effect in 2007 is an increase to costs of around $0.7 billion relative
to 2006.
The level of activity related to production operations also increased in 2007. • Additional wellwork, fracturing, and sidetracks contributed to additional costs
of around $0.6 billion relative to 2006.
Relative to the increase in realizations of 15%, costs and other deductions • increased by only 12% year-on-year giving rise to an underlying growth in
EBITDA of 21%.
Income tax expense in 2007 was consistent with that in 2006. The change • in legislation relating to withholding tax allowed the release of a provision of
about $0.2 billion in 2007; this contributed to a slightly lower effective tax rate
of 26% and helped increase underlying net income growth to 24%.
