In annual terms, production fell by 11.6%. For a month, sales of natural gas decreased by 1 billion cubic meters to 10.1 billion cubic meters.

The reduction was caused by repair work and minor technical problems in a number of fields. Preliminary NPD calculations showed that in the first quarter the total volume of hydrocarbon production in the country was about 79.5 million cubic meters of oil equivalent.
