Specialists from Rosneft's research institute in Samara have developed a national standard for the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation*, establishing requirements for design documentation for onshore well construction. The document was approved by order of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart) and will come into effect on November 1, 2026.
The document developed by Samara specialists is unique among international and Russian standards. This national standard takes into account modern methods and regulatory requirements for the construction and reconstruction of onshore oil and gas wells, while also taking environmental protection measures into account.
All interested oil production and design companies in Russia can voluntarily use standardized design documentation forms, which define architectural, functional, technological, structural, engineering, and other solutions for the construction or reconstruction of capital construction projects. The documentation contains text and graphic materials, including in the form of an information model.
Improvement and development of a modern methodological framework will improve the efficiency of well construction and ensure uniformity of design approaches.
