Summary

-- Average Group production for October 2016 was 9,900 boepd, 2.4% higher than the previous month.

-- September production in Ukraine was impacted by the scheduled maintenance shut downs for both of the Group's gas processing plants.

-- In Russia, a routine acid job was carried out on Well 27 leading to increased month-on-month production.

-- The Company began to implement its field development plan for the Rudenkivske field in Ukraine with the workover of well NN16, which was completed on 6 November. Initial peak hourly production from NN16 was 16.4 MMcfd of gas and 467 boepd of condensate on a 48/64ths" choke (3,200 boepd total) but has since declined. Further information will be provided as production stabilizes.

(1) boepd - Barrels of oil equivalent per day

(2) MMcfd - Million cubic feet per day
