Specialists from Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz (a joint venture between Rosneft and Gazprom Neft) were the first in Russia to develop a methodology and innovative equipment for diagnosing polymer-reinforced pipelines (PRP). This technology allows for inspecting the pipeline along its entire length without interrupting operation, identifying potential defects, and developing a maintenance plan.

Previously, diagnostics were performed by cutting out individual sections of the pipeline. The disadvantage of this method is that it requires shutting down the pipeline. The in-pipe diagnostics method developed by the company's specialists ensures the continuity of the production process and not only identifies localized pipeline issues but also provides predictive data on the condition of the reinforcing layer and external insulation.

The central element of the diagnostic equipment kit is a unique flaw detector that evaluates the pipeline's condition using ultrasonic waves. The waves penetrate the pipeline and, generating a mechanical pulse, reflect defects and transmit signals to the computer. Based on the interpretation of the received signals, the coordinates of the defective areas, their depth, and size are determined. Further pipeline maintenance activities are planned based on the data obtained.

Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz is one of the development platforms for the application of PAT technologies in Russia and their effective use in the development of oil and gas fields. The main advantages of PAT compared to steel pipelines are their mobility and ease of installation. This allows for the accelerated implementation of new projects in the oil and gas industry.

The new equipment has already been successfully tested at the Kuyumbinskoye field's production facilities. With the introduction of this new methodology, specialists expect improved pipeline safety and reduced environmental risks.

The safe operation of industrial facilities is a priority of the Rosneft-2030 strategy and a key objective for the Company across all areas of its operations. As the leader of the country's oil industry, Rosneft makes a significant contribution to the development of pipeline transportation.

As part of a grant project from RN-Purneftegaz (part of Rosneft's oil and gas production complex), researchers from the Faculty of Humanities at the Higher School of Economics developed teaching materials on the Forest Nenets language. The project aims to preserve the national cultures and traditional ways of life of the indigenous peoples of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

University linguists, in collaboration with teachers and activists promoting the preservation of national culture, have developed educational materials on the Forest Nenets language for elementary grades, a workbook for practical assignments, and a language trainer. The educational materials are already available online. Furthermore, after approval by relevant agencies, the materials are planned to be published and used in the educational process at national boarding schools.

The Forest Nenets language differs significantly from Tundra Nenets, which is spoken by most of the indigenous people of Yamal. Currently, the total number of native speakers of the "forest" language is estimated at approximately 1,000. The population remains strong, but since teaching their native language in educational institutions is organized using Tundra Nenets textbooks, which are not the Forest Nenets' native language, the number of native speakers is declining. A book developed for reading in Forest Nenets will help address the lack of literature.

The Nenets language is characterized by a complex system of rules for word formation and inflection. An online declension and conjugation trainer will help teach children correct word formation. Students will have the opportunity to complete homework assignments and take online tests to learn the correct word forms.

Preserving the national culture of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life is a key focus of Rosneft's social policy. The Company's enterprises implement numerous social projects in the regions where they operate, developing the infrastructure of northern villages, supporting reindeer herding families, and improving the facilities of educational institutions, social facilities, and healthcare facilities in areas traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples.

Previously, with the support of RN-Purneftegaz, a project was implemented to prepare children for school directly in families' homes – in nomadic kindergartens. A collection of methodological materials, "Trends in Nomadic Education," was compiled, including developmental programs in the Nenets language, unique practices, and lesson plans for preschool education for children in nomadic groups.

Samotlorneftegaz, one of Rosneft's key production assets, allocated more than 15 billion rubles to implement environmental programs and activities in the first nine months of 2025.

The company implements a number of environmental programs, including methane emission monitoring, land reclamation, safe industrial waste disposal, stocking Siberian rivers with fish, and reforestation.

For several years, Samotlorneftegaz has been implementing a gas investment program, including a phased upgrade of its gas infrastructure to maintain a minimum 98% efficiency level for associated petroleum gas (APG). A modern, comprehensive system for collecting, treating, compressing, and transporting gas has been developed at the Samotlor field. The majority of the gas is sent to gas processing plants and local consumers.

Samotlorneftegaz monitors greenhouse gas emissions at its production facilities. Since the beginning of the year, over 2,600 measurements have been taken at oil and gas treatment facilities and 230 at mechanized wells using modern equipment such as infrared cameras, laser scanners, and ultrasonic detectors. Unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with laser gas analyzers have been used to inspect gas pipelines with a total length of approximately 506 kilometers.

Since the beginning of the year, 152 kilometers of oilfield pipelines have been built as part of the pipeline reliability improvement program. To ensure the pipeline system's strength, modern domestic coating materials for the internal surfaces of pipes and new technologies for processing welded joints have been used. Inhibitor corrosion protection is being implemented on the existing pipeline fleet.

Samotlorneftegaz has fully completed the reclamation of its "historical heritage" lands. Technical and biological restoration work was carried out year-round thanks to the extensive use of its own winter reclamation and phytomelioration technologies. Samotlorneftegaz carried out most of the work through its internal environmental services team, using specialized equipment for working in marshy areas.

Another of the company's most important tasks is maintaining the ecological balance within its production area by replenishing biological resources. Approximately 5,000 Siberian sterlet fry and over 750,000 muksun and nelma have been released into the Ob-Irtysh basin. In total, over 20 million valuable fish fry have been released into the northern rivers in recent years thanks to these campaigns.

The company has planted over 1.8 million coniferous trees in Yugra's forestry districts over the past decade, covering an area of over 520 hectares. In addition to forested areas, in 2025, the company's volunteers also landscaped parks in Nizhnevartovsk.

Preserving the environment for future generations is a key focus of Rosneft's strategy. The company and its subsidiaries are implementing a number of comprehensive programs to preserve biodiversity, conserve natural resources in the regions where they operate, and strive to ensure environmentally friendly production and minimize environmental impact.

Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha (part of Rosneft Oil Company) is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The company is developing the Central Block and Kurungsky license area of the Srednebotuobinskoye oil and gas condensate field, located in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

By 2013, the company had built and launched the main oil field infrastructure, including oil treatment and transportation facilities. That same year, commercial production of the field began, and oil began flowing into the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean main pipeline. Over the course of 25 years, the company has transformed from a small oil field into a large, high-tech production facility. Cumulative production has exceeded 40 million tons of oil.

The field's geological conditions require innovative production technologies and unconventional engineering solutions. At the Srednebotuobinskoye field, a number of advanced technologies have demonstrated high efficiency, including the organization of a reservoir pressure system in the gas-oil-water zone, the implementation of autonomous inflow control devices, hydraulic and gas-dynamic fracturing, and deep seismic exploration. Digital field technologies improve the productivity of oil workers and industrial safety.

Intensive drilling is underway at the field: since 2014, over 2.4 million meters of rock have been drilled, and more than 560 wells have been constructed. The company is replicating a project to construct multilateral wells, including up to seven sidetracks, with an average depth of 5,000 meters in the reservoir.

Taas-Yuryakh Oil and Gas Production set a record by drilling a unique well, the "Birch Leaf" configuration, with 15 sidetracks and a total reservoir length of 10,310 meters. This innovative solution increased the profitability of oil production, with the "Birch Leaf" well's productivity being ten times higher than a conventional horizontal well. The project received the highest rating from the Russian Ministry of Energy in 2020, won the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) State Prize, and took first place in the All-Russian "New Idea" competition.

Thanks to the extensive use of digital technologies and advanced domestic methods, the company's geologists have added five new deposits to the state register over the past six years.

Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha, together with Rosneft's scientific complex, continues geological exploration work at the company's licensed areas. During the 2023-2024 field season, seismic exploration work covering more than 1,300 square kilometers was completed.

The company's high production figures were achieved thanks to the coordinated work of its highly qualified team. Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha provides comfortable and safe working conditions. The field's shift worker housing complex includes a fitness center with a sauna and swimming pool, a medical center, and a cafeteria with a full hot meal preparation cycle.

The company is one of the largest taxpayers and employers in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), successfully implementing social and charitable projects in the area where it operates, and paying special attention to the environmental safety of production and the preservation of the unique natural environment in the region of its operations.

Rosneft's largest social project in Yakutia was the construction and equipping of a building for the Junior Academy of Sciences in the village of Chapaevo, Khangalassky District. The new 7,000-square-meter building houses a center for supporting talented children and a hub for research and project activities for schoolchildren throughout the Far East region. It operates on the model of the Sirius Educational Center.

Rosneft volunteers organized a tour of the Company's Moscow research institutes for schoolchildren from the "Movement of the First." The young activists learned about the composition of oil, the oil production process, and the unique scientific expeditions conducted by the Company.

Rosneft volunteers and the Movement of the First are implementing joint projects to promote professions in the oil production industry, as well as holding volunteering and environmental campaigns.

During the tour, specialists from Rosneft's research center introduced the children to the profession of geologist and the tasks of geological expeditions. They explained how oil is extracted and what it consists of, and also demonstrated several chemical experiments. In laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, the children learned how and through what means petroleum products are transformed into everyday items.

At the Arctic Research Center, activists were drawn to photographs from Rosneft's research expeditions. The students learned how large-scale research is planned and even had the chance to experience what it's like to be part of a northern expedition. This included a briefing on how to behave when encountering a polar bear. This polar predator is not only the Company's symbol but also a key bioindicator for the region. Leading Russian scientists have been studying its population for many years with the support of Rosneft. Young specialists discussed the movements of polar bears in the northern seas.

For 13 years, the Company has been implementing the largest Arctic scientific research program since Soviet times. During this time, more than 60 expeditions have been conducted to study glaciers, icebergs, marine and coastal zones, and rare animal and bird species. Large-scale hydrometeorological studies of the Far North have also been organized, covering all of Russia's Arctic seas. This has allowed us to collect a unique array of information on the climate, nature, and wildlife of the Arctic.
