In 2025, RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of Rosneft Oil Company) implemented 84 production efficiency improvement projects, generating economic benefits of 2.7 billion rubles. Furthermore, the company's specialists developed 20 new production efficiency improvement projects during the year.
The most effective development is drilling open-hole horizontal wells over 1,000 meters deep at the Uvat project fields. This method reduces the horizontal well construction cycle by almost three days and replaces imported equipment. The project is expected to generate economic benefits of 923 million rubles.
The use of short-circuit indicators reduced the time needed to locate power line faults, increasing the reliability of power supply to oil production facilities. During the construction of the 110 kV "Barrel" substation transmission line, a 110/35 kV configuration was used, significantly reducing its cost by eliminating the need to install 6 kV equipment.
Optimizing the well pad configuration and switching to pitless drilling also contributed to increased operational efficiency. Reducing the well pad backfill area and the number of slabs used reduced capital expenditures by 12%.
Over the eight years of implementing the PPE System, RN-Uvatneftegaz employees have implemented 132 projects into production and successfully completed testing of eight domestic innovative technologies in drilling, well workover, energy, and mechanized production.
Furthermore, in 2025, RN-Uvatneftegaz employees submitted over 500 rationalization proposals, 114 of which were recommended for implementation. Rationalization at the company is being implemented in all areas: increasing labor productivity, quality, reliability, and durability of products, saving material and labor resources, improving working conditions and industrial safety, and reducing environmental impact.
Improving operational efficiency is a key element of the Rosneft-2030 strategy. The company is implementing a program aimed at reducing operating costs and capital investments, including through the implementation of advanced technological solutions.
