Overview

Lukoil is Russia's largest listed private integrated oil company, with ~2.1 mmboe/d of hydrocarbon output, an estimated ~15 bnboe of proved (1P) reserves, and an integrated refining/petrochemicals/marketing arm historically spanning Russia, Europe and international upstream (notably Iraq's West Qurna-2). Pre-sanctions it was among the most shareholder-friendly EM majors, running a net-cash balance sheet and paying out a large share of free cash flow in dividends (double-digit yields). Reported RUB financials imply roughly $90-95bn revenue, ~$20bn EBITDA and ~$9-13bn net income in recent years, converted at ~0.011 USD/RUB; all figures are estimates given curtailed post-2022 disclosure.

Sanctioned/uninvestable for Western buyers; figures estimated. Since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Lukoil has faced EU import bans and, from October 2025, direct US OFAC designation — triggering forced wind-down/divestment of international assets and severe secondary-sanctions, settlement and convertibility constraints. Despite a low-cost, cash-generative and lowly-levered domestic upstream base, the equity trades only on the Moscow Exchange, is not a US SEC filer, publishes no SEC standardized measure, and cannot realistically be acquired, financed, or held by Western institutions. Data reliability is LOW and all metrics should be treated as rough estimates.

Its EV/EBITDA of 2.1x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 20.0% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $2.76/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Lukoil scores 59/100, strongest on valuation (95/100). Sub-scores: value 95, quality 66, growth 47, risk 93 (higher = riskier). Note: sanctioned / uninvestable for Western acquirers — shown for completeness only.

Reserves & production

Lukoil holds approximately 15.2 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 2,100 thousand boe/d (80% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 19.8 years. Break-even: ~$25 (Brent breakeven) — low-cost mature Russian brownfield barrels (West Siberia/Timan-Pechora) with sub-$25 Brent full-cycle breakevens, but realizations are depressed by Urals-to-Brent discounts, export re-routing to Asia, and sanctioned/discounted sale channels rather than by upstream cost

Net asset value (public-source)

For Lukoil, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
