Our natural gas sales volumes totalled 14.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) in the third quarter 2016 and 46.3 bcm in the nine months 2016, representing an increase of 1.3% and 3.5%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2015, which was mainly due to the development of gas trading at the Saint-Petersburg commodity exchange and higher volumes sold to traders. As at the end of the third quarter 2016, the total amount of natural gas recorded as inventory totalled 2.5 bcm as compared to 2.7 bcm at the end of the third quarter 2015.
In the third quarter 2016, liquid hydrocarbon sales volumes amounted to 4,183 mt, representing a 20.4% increase in volumes sold as compared to the third quarter 2015. In the nine months 2016, liquid hydrocarbon sales volumes grew to 12,964 mt, representing a 40.6% increase as compared to the nine months 2015. This significant growth was largely due to the launch of the Yarudeyskoye oil field in December 2015 and the Termokarstovoye and Yaro-Yakhinskoye gas and gas condensate fields in the first half 2015. The dynamics of our liquids sales volumes was also positively impacted by a decrease in liquids inventories by 284 mt in the nine months 2016 compared to the increase by 92 mt in the nine months 2015. As at 30 September 2016, 626 mt of liquid hydrocarbons were in transit or storage and recognized as inventory.
