OAO LUKOIL has made partial advance payment for a loan of USD 1.2 billion
attracted in August 2009, with the maturity of 3 years.
Advance
payment of USD 500 million was made on account of the Company’s internal funds
generated during the first half of 2010, which proves a strong financial
position and sufficient liquidity level of the LUKOIL Group.
As
reported earlier, the loan was secured by proceeds from oil export contracts.
