Cumulative production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field, developed by RN-Yuganskneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), has reached 100 million tons of oil.
A distinctive feature of the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field is its multi-layer structure, consisting of a dozen horizons, each of which is drilled by its own grid of wells.
The high performance was achieved through the commissioning of new wells, the construction of infrastructure facilities, and the use of modern technologies.
Currently, over 400 wells provide production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field. Since the beginning of 2025, 20 new wells, including seven horizontal ones, have been commissioned. RN-Yuganskneftegaz specialists are using sidetracking technology, which allows for increased oil recovery at the mature asset and the return of mothballed wells to production.
The field is developed using hydraulic fracturing operations, which significantly increases oil production.
The field has great development prospects. Near-term plans at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field include drilling wells at two cluster pads, which will increase oil production. Additionally, exploration is underway at the underlying horizons.
Reference:
RN-Yuganskneftegaz is a key asset of Rosneft Oil Company, accounting for approximately 30% of the Company's total production. The company conducts geological exploration and development of fields in 40 license areas covering a total area of over 21,000 square kilometers in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.
The company's cumulative production since the beginning of its operations exceeds 2.7 billion tons of oil.
