Lukoil stopped gas production at the Gissar project in Uzbekistan and recognized the impairment of assets at ₽36 billion, due to a drop in demand from China and an increase in the cost of pipeline gas above LNG. A significant amount of gas already produced in Uzbekistan was not exported. It will be sold in the country's domestic market. The Company is also negotiating with Uzbekistan to resume gas exports from its projects against the backdrop of gradual restoration of Uzbek gas purchases by China.
