Russian gas producer Rosneft has reported a net income of $11.9bn (RUR883bn), attributable to its shareholders in 2021, making this the highest earnings ever recorded by the firm.

The 2021 net income grew by more than six times from $$2bn (RUR132bn) in 2020, and is attributed to surging oil and gas prices, as energy demand is recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Full year revenue grew to $121.1bn in 2021, from $83.1bn in the year prior.

For 2021, the company reported a free cash flow of $14.3bn (RUR1,044bn), a nearly 2.5-fold increase from $6.2bn in 2020.

In Q4 2021, revenue stood at $35.2bn, compared to $20.6bn in the same quarter a year ago.
