· Average Group production for May 2017 was 7,847 boepd, a 0.6% month-on-month increase and a 15.5% year-on-year decrease for the first five months of the year, largely due to a planned workover in Russia, partly compensated by increased production in Ukraine as a result of the successful enhancement programme.
· In Ukraine, gas production increased due to pre-stimulation gas production from 6R in Rudenkivske and a complete month of production from EM53 in Elizavetivske. Oil production increase was due to the installation of an ESP in IG128 which increased the well's average oil production from 38 stb/dto 132 stb/d.
· In Russia, gas production is lower than April due to the absence of an acid job on Well 27 in May but with an acid job planned in the first half of June. The workover on Well 25 is now expected to recommence on 15 June 2017.
