The Tyumen Corporate Institute of Rosneft celebrates its 25th anniversary.
This institute is the largest regional research center, providing scientific support for the Company's oil and gas production. Its specialists have discovered and registered 68 hydrocarbon fields and over 800 deposits in the Nenets, Yamalo-Nenets, and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, Tyumen Oblast, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Krasnoyarsk Krai, and Orenburg Oblast, as well as on the Kara Sea shelf.
With the scientific support of the Tyumen Institute, unique well projects with complex designs have been implemented at the Company's assets, including: a horizontal well on land with a 5,200-meter offset at the Radonezhskoye field, a multi-lateral well of the "Birch Leaf" design with 14 sidetracks at the Srednebotuobinskoye field, and a well with 13 sidetracks at the Russkoye field.
The institute's Core Research Center annually studies approximately 10 km of core, 400,000 rock samples, and 4,000 fluid samples from fields stretching from Sakhalin to the Volga region. The laboratory complex utilizes the RN-Lab information system, a proprietary software development that integrates laboratory research processes, from planning, logistics, and procurement to the storage and analysis of core and fluid study results. The system's functionality leverages advanced DataScience methods and artificial intelligence technologies.
The institute's specialists, together with Innopraktika, developed the corporate software package "RN-Digital Core" for studying rock properties through mathematical modeling. The software's functionality is unique worldwide, and its updated version allows for simultaneous modeling of the combined flow of oil, gas, and water in a digital sample model and direct calculation of one of the most important rock properties—the permeability of a three-phase system. Such a result is virtually impossible to achieve through physical core experiments.
The results of scientific research are used in modeling for geological exploration and risk mitigation during drilling planning. For the first time in Russia, a 4D geomechanical model of the gas reservoirs of the Berezovskaya, Kuznetsovskaya, and Pokurskaya formations has been constructed, taking into account the geomechanical properties of the rocks.
The institute's 1,800 highly qualified staff includes 80 doctors and candidates of science. The institute's total portfolio of registered patents exceeds 300 developments and software certifications. Each year, the institute publishes over 100 scientific articles in industry journals and organizes conferences and forums on the oil and gas industry.
The institute's human resources policy prioritizes training new generations of oil workers. More than 100 young specialists are actively involved in innovation, research, and project activities.
To build a talent pool, the institute has established two core departments at leading regional universities: Tyumen Industrial University and Tyumen State University. Practicing engineers share knowledge and experience in geomechanical modeling, data science, machine learning, and digital transformation of the oil and gas industry with students. Training is provided using specialized software, for which the institute has provided academic licenses to the universities free of charge.
