Quarterly and annual financial reports of Gazprom.
Notes:
(1) There are no quarterly data for 2000-2001;
(2) USD/mcm costs are based on the average RUR/USD exchange rate of
the corresponding quarter.
The Q2-2012 average gas
production cost is reported at RUR 1224/mcm (USD 39.51) or 81% up from
the level of the same period of 2011.
The price is 76% higher than the
average of 2011. The raise of severance tax
(from RUR 237 to RUR 509 per mcm) is responsible for about half of
the cost growth.
