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.

Rosneft's Research Institute in Krasnoyarsk held a seismic data interpretation championship as part of the VIII All-Russian Conference "Seismic Exploration in Siberia and Beyond," which attracted industry experts from across the country.

Participants were tasked with analyzing seismic data and determining the depth and shape of a target geological formation. Various methods, including neural networks, data processing, and acoustic inversion, were used to solve these problems. Two of the three prizes in the championship were won by Rosneft specialists from Krasnoyarsk and Moscow. Furthermore, an artificial intelligence system developed by experts from the Krasnoyarsk Institute successfully solved the problem at the same level as the championship winners.

The annual seismic exploration conference, hosted by the Company's Krasnoyarsk institute, brought together more than 300 industry specialists – employees of scientific institutes and mining companies, research and design organizations, Russian oil and gas companies, and Russian Academy of Sciences institutions.

The conference's key topics included technologies for conducting fieldwork and processing seismic data, modern data interpretation methods, and the development and application of new algorithms. Participants were particularly interested in artificial intelligence-based developments for processing and interpreting seismic data. This year, the conference program included new, relevant thematic sections: "Seismic Exploration in Support of Development" and "Integration of Geophysical Methods."

At the conference, specialists from the Krasnoyarsk Institute presented developments using artificial intelligence for the automated identification of paleoincisions (ancient landforms, such as coastal ravines or depressions), which is particularly important for reducing drilling risks in fields with complex geological structures.

As a leader in seismic data management, Rosneft annually organizes one of the country's central platforms for sharing experiences and best practices. Rosneft's Krasnoyarsk corporate institute hosts the largest single seismic data storage center among Russian oil and gas companies, containing over 5,800 terabytes of data, ensuring the efficient operation of the company's specialists.

Rosneft environmentalists have developed a standard corporate program for biodiversity conservation in all regions where the Company operates. The document was developed based on years of experience in biodiversity conservation research and projects, as well as a wealth of scientific data obtained during numerous environmental expeditions.

Experts from the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rosneft's Arctic Research Center, and the Company's research institute in Tyumen were involved in the research.

The program is the result of extensive work that resulted in the formation of a prioritized and comprehensive list of significant biological indicator species of marine and terrestrial mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, fish, terrestrial invertebrates, zooplankton and phytoplankton, and terrestrial plants. The document contains a full description of each bioindicator species.

While working on the program, environmentalists compiled registers of specially protected natural areas in Russia that correspond to category 1a "Strict Nature Reserve" and category 1b "Wildlife Area" according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classification. These natural sites have high ecological significance and are included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Registers of mandatory and additional biodiversity conservation measures implemented in 2018–2022 in the Company's regions of operation were also compiled.

The program takes into account the requirements and recommendations of Russian legislation in the field of biodiversity conservation, as well as the provisions of the Kunming-Montreal Global Framework Program and other international agreements, as well as the recommendations of international industry associations of oil and gas producers.

The document also includes a standard template for a biodiversity conservation program for subsidiaries. A pilot test is planned for a number of companies. Based on the results of the pilot project, it is planned to approve a unified standard program for the Company's biodiversity conservation, which will take into account the specifics of the region, the type of activity, and other criteria of the subsidiaries. This will significantly contribute to supporting national environmental projects.

Preservation and restoration of ecosystems and the implementation of biodiversity conservation programs are among Rosneft's strategic environmental goals.

Rosneft is implementing the largest Arctic flora and fauna study program since Soviet times. Over 13 years, more than 60 expeditions have been conducted, covering all Arctic seas, islands, and coastlines. During the course of the study, habitats were thoroughly explored and over 400 animals were examined, 140 individuals were tagged with satellite transmitters, and over 1,500 laboratory analyses were performed on collected biological samples.

Rosneft supports the Amur Tiger Center's efforts to increase the Amur tiger population and protect the environment within the predator's habitat. The Company's funds are being used to develop a comprehensive Amur tiger conservation system, including outside specially protected natural areas, equipping hunting control teams with modern technology and equipment to combat poaching, prey conservation, and the reduction of human-tiger conflicts. The project also includes population monitoring and scientific research on the largest cat on Earth, as well as outreach and educational activities. These joint efforts have helped increase the Amur tiger population, which currently exceeds 750 individuals, ensuring the conservation of this unique animal.

Rosneft subsidiaries also implement various conservation projects to study key flora and fauna species in the regions where they operate. In the Far East, 80 Steller's sea eagle nesting sites were discovered during the "Under a Strong Wing" project. The project aims to restore and preserve the population of this bird species. The data obtained served as the basis for developing a set of measures to protect the largest birds in the Far East, which are listed in the Red Book.

With the Company's support, specialists from the Central Siberian State Nature Reserve in Evenkia studied musk deer habitats. The scientists discovered that the population in an area previously considered unsuitable for these even-toed ungulates now numbers 300 individuals. The research findings open new avenues for protecting the small musk deer population from predators. The possibility of establishing a farm for breeding this animal, which is listed in the Red Data Book of several Russian regions and the IUCN Red List as vulnerable, is also being explored.

For 27 years, a monitoring program for the Okhotsk Sea population of gray whales, a rare, endangered species of marine mammal found in the northern Pacific Ocean, has been implemented in the Sakhalin Region.

The results of many years of scientific research are presented in a series of ecological atlases. Rosneft has published a number of scientific publications on the Company's activities, including those from expeditions. More than 60 indicator species are described in the atlas.Species – bioindicators of the state of marine Arctic ecosystems", published in 2020.

The company actively participated in various events within the national Ecology project from 2020 to 2023. Over 320 million rubles were allocated from 2019 to 2023 for a project to study the dynamics of key species—indicators of the sustainability of Arctic ecosystems.

In 2024, at the XXVII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Rosneft signed a new agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation on the joint implementation of a number of activities in 2024–2027 under the federal project "Conservation of Biodiversity and Development of Ecotourism" as part of the national project "Environmental Well-Being."
