Bashneft Oil Company (part of Rosneft Oil Company) has begun pilot operation of its first pipeline made from composite materials, replacing traditional steel pipes. The first pipeline, at the Munir Gallyamov field, is 10 kilometers long. It has significantly improved oil transportation efficiency, environmental safety, and industrial safety.
The composite pipeline is the first stage in the creation of a large-scale production infrastructure using innovative developments in Bashkortostan's new oil-producing region. The pipeline was installed at the Munir Gallyamov field using pipe screwing. Installation speed is five times faster than traditional steel pipe welding.
Composite pipelines are corrosion-resistant and require no electrochemical protection, corrosion inhibition, or cleaning. The guaranteed service life of such "pipes" is three times longer—up to 50 years. The smoother internal surface of composite oil pipelines significantly reduces hydraulic losses during oil pumping and eliminates deposits on the pipe walls, which over time reduce the throughput of steel pipelines.
The transition to pipes made from this innovative material will significantly accelerate the construction of new oil pipelines and the development of reserves. The project was initiated by specialists from Bashneft-Dobycha, Bashneft's hydrocarbon field development operator.
Implementing innovation and maximizing technological potential is one of the key priorities of Rosneft's strategy. The company strives to improve production efficiency by relying on advanced domestic developments and technical solutions.
