Changes in the upstream regulatory environment<br />

Upstream: Changes in the<br />

mining royalty framework in<br />

Hungary with regard to<br />

regulated volumes of<br />

natural gas<br />

The Mining Act, which regulates the mining royalty regime in<br />

Hungary, introduced changes from 01.01.2011 and 01.08.2012 as<br />

royalty regime compensation in connection with regulated gas prices<br />

for eligible customers in Hungary from December 2010. These<br />

changes apply only to volumes available from fields put into<br />

production before 1998 and sold at regulated prices.<br />

MOL paid 33% of its crude oil and natural gas revenues as a mining<br />

royalty to the Hungarian State based on crude oil and natural gas<br />

produced in Hungary in 2012. In 2012, the average rate of mining<br />

royalty payable on non-inert natural gas produced from fields put<br />

into production after 1998 and for crude oil production was 18%,<br />

excluding volumes from enhanced oil recovery which represented<br />

18% of oil production and which are subject to a zero royalty rate in<br />

Hungary.<br />

Changes in export duty<br />

regulations in Russia…<br />

…no further changes in<br />

royalty regulations in<br />

Croatia<br />

The extraction tax and export duty in Russia is dependent upon<br />

average Urals blend listed prices (Rotterdam and Mediterranean<br />

markets) and the Russian Rouble/US Dollar exchange rate and are<br />

calculated by formulae set out in tax legislation. The tax authorities<br />

inform the public of the extraction tax rate through official<br />

announcements on a monthly basis. The extraction tax rate as of 31 st<br />

December, 2012 was USD 22.3/bbl with an annual average<br />

extraction tax rate of 20.5%, based on the annual average Urals<br />

blend price in 2012. The export duty rate as of 31 st December 2012<br />

was USD 55.5/bbl with an annual average export duty rate of 50.9%,<br />

based on the annual average Urals blend price in 2012. Favourable<br />

regulatory change took place in the area of export duty, with effect<br />

from October, 2011. The percentage above the highest threshold<br />

was reduced from 65% to 60%. The Mineral Extraction Tax rate<br />

increased by 6.4 % compared to the previous year, which was RUB<br />

419 per ton for 2011 versus RUB 446 per ton for 2012.<br />

The Croatian royalty rate in Q1 2011 amounted to 3.6% but the<br />

regulation was changed with effect from April 2011 with the royalty<br />

rate being increased to 5.0%. In 2012, no further amendments<br />

occurred.<br />
