Russia's state-owned oil company Rosneft has said its profits surge after buying former Yukos key asset Yuganskneftegaz.
Net income was $2.44bn in the six months to 30 June, from $340m a year ago. Sales hit $9.9bn from $2.3bn.
Russia is now planning a partial privatisation of Rosneft, with shares possibly going on sale next year.
