Rosneft energy workers celebrate their professional holiday with new production achievements.
Improving the efficiency of production assets is a key element of Rosneft's strategy. In 2025, the Company's enterprises implemented more than 42,000 energy-saving measures, reducing energy consumption by 317,000 tons of fuel equivalent, amounting to over 7.8 billion rubles.
This result was achieved through a systematic approach to the efficient use of energy resources at all stages—from well drilling to outdoor lighting at production facilities. Thanks to the high level of expertise of specialists, the energy management system at Rosneft's production facilities is constantly being improved.
The main contribution to improving energy efficiency and ensuring the reliability of power supply to production facilities is made by activities at the Company's exploration and production enterprises.
Udmurtneft, Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha, Verkhnechonskneftegaz, Vostsibneftegaz, and RN-Krasnodarneftegaz achieved high energy efficiency indicators by optimizing their mechanized equipment, implementing higher-efficiency pumps, energy-efficient motors and electric heating thermostats, and installing automatic lighting controls. Samotlorneftegaz implemented 1,900 measures, saving approximately 230 million kWh. The economic impact exceeded 1.1 billion rubles.
Power engineers at the Company's oil refining and petrochemical complex—the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery, the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery, and the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery—have reduced energy consumption by modernizing production, optimizing technological processes, and introducing energy-efficient equipment.
In 2025, Rosneft's research and development team met the Company's needs for energy facility design, advanced power supply schemes, and engineering services. They designed over 615 km of 35-220 kV overhead power lines, electrical substations with a total capacity of 370 MVA, and thermal generation facilities with a total capacity of 13 MW. Conceptual design solutions were developed for the construction of unified modular power plants based on domestically produced gas turbine units with unit capacities ranging from 6 to 25 MW. A key project was the construction of Russia's largest oil pumping station, which includes power supply for over 1,000 electrical receivers, cable lines, and overpasses with a total length of 1,500 km.
To meet growing energy demands, new power facilities were commissioned at the Company's new fields in 2025. They are equipped with modern Russian-made equipment, adapted for uninterrupted operation in harsh climates. Automation also reduces the need for personnel.
Thus, Bashneft launched the first 110 kV digital substation, Mirnaya, in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Samotlorneftegaz launched a new 110/35/6 kV substation with a capacity of 40 MVA. Tyumenneftegaz commissioned the 110 kV PSP Zapolyarnaya substation at the Russkoye field, with an installed capacity of 2×16 MVA, and a boiler house with an installed capacity of 232 MW. RN-Vankor commissioned a new 110 kV Tagul substation, and RN-Uvatneftegaz commissioned two new highly automated mobile 110 kV substations and a 35 kV substation. Udmurtneft launched a two-transformer 35 kV substation. Vostsibneftegaz commissioned two electrical substations at the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field.
Reliable and efficient operation of the electric power industry is the basis for the progressive development of the country's economy.
Congratulations to our colleagues on Power Engineer's Day!
