Rosneft, together with the Ministry of Tourism and Health Resorts of the Stavropol Territory, presented a new route for car tourists in the cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region – "Pearl of Southern Russia." This is the fiftieth route developed by the Company for Russians traveling by car across the country.

Rosneft actively supports initiatives to develop domestic tourism and creates comfortable conditions for road travelers. Developing roadside services and improving customer service at Rosneft filling stations is one of the Company's priorities.

The "Pearl of Southern Russia" route passes through the four main cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region: Pyatigorsk, Yessentuki, Kislovodsk, and Zheleznovodsk. Along the route, tourists will see picturesque terrain paths and healing pump rooms, the site of Lermontov's duel, the Tsander Institute of Mechanotherapy—the forerunner of modern fitness centers—and many other attractions of the region.

The total length of the route is approximately 100 km, connecting 35 of the most popular and significant locations in the Caucasian Mineral Waters and passing through 10 Rosneft gas stations. The route's presentation took place at one of these gas stations, in Pyatigorsk.

The first stop on the route is Zheleznovodsk. This resort town is famous for its mineral springs and attracts tourists with its picturesque nature. A must-see is the Resort Park with its cascading staircase, sculptures, and architectural monuments, as well as the landmark and symbol of Zheleznovodsk, the Pushkin Gallery. The building with a small, graceful dome is located in the Healing Park. Pushkin himself visited Zheleznovodsk in 1820, where the idea for the poem "Prisoner of the Caucasus" was born. Also in Zheleznovodsk, travelers by car will find the Palace of the Emir of Bukhara, a unique architectural monument in the oriental style, whose domes, minaret, ornate balconies, and intricate carvings seem to have stepped straight from the pages of "One Thousand and One Nights."

The next stop is Pyatigorsk. Here, visitors can sample healing mineral water, enjoy the mountain views, and explore Lermontov's sites. For example, Lermontov's House, where the poet spent the last months of his life and wrote many of his famous poems. The house has retained its original appearance.

Orenburgneft (Rosneft's key production asset in the Volga region) is increasing the speed of horizontal well drilling by using a new technological solution: calibrator-expanders. This domestically developed technology significantly reduces the time required to drill horizontal sections of wells before multi-stage hydraulic fracturing and shortens the production casing construction cycle by more than one day. The actual economic benefit from this innovation exceeds 1 million rubles per well.

Pilot tests of the new technology were conducted at seven Orenburgneft wells. As a result, drilling time was reduced by more than a day (from 2.8 days to 26 hours) for new wells and by two days (from 3 to 24 hours) for wells under reconstruction (ZBS).

Improving operational efficiency is a key element of the "Rosneft 2030: Reliable Energy and the Global Energy Transition" strategy. The company is implementing extensive efforts to reduce operating costs, including through the implementation of advanced technological solutions.

Orenburgneft applies advanced technologies across all its operations, significantly improving production reliability and profitability. The company plans to replicate this innovative method at other Rosneft facilities with similar reservoir geology.

Reference:

Orenburgneft is Rosneft's key production asset in the Volga Federal District. The company accounts for almost half of all oil production in the Orenburg Region. Over more than 60 years of production, cumulative production has exceeded 470 million tons of oil.

Priority areas of activity include expanding the resource base and improving production efficiency. Last year, the target program generated revenues of 2 billion rubles. Seven innovative technologies in drilling, well workovers, energy, and artificial lift were successfully tested. The company's specialists submitted 106 proposals, 45 of which were recognized as innovations, and nine were implemented in production.

The Tuapse Oil Refinery (part of the Rosneft Oil Refinery complex) released over 35,000 Black Sea salmon fry into their natural habitat. The event was part of the company's project to restore the population of this rare, endangered species.

Black Sea salmon was a commercial fish until 1955. However, due to unregulated fishing and poaching, its population declined sharply. Today, Black Sea salmon are under state protection. Conservation and reproduction of brown trout are possible only through special programs for raising young fish in artificial conditions and subsequently releasing them into the wild.

At the request of the Tuapse Oil Refinery, juvenile brown trout were raised at a trout hatchery in water from artesian wells. The fry were fed special food with vitamins and probiotics to boost their immunity. After reaching a weight of 1.5 grams, the fry were given salt baths to facilitate their adaptation to seawater. Before release, each fish weighed approximately four grams.

Release sites for the fry are determined by representatives of the Federal Agency for Fisheries and the Azov Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, taking into account water composition, food supply, temperature, current, and distance from the sea. The river water temperature must match the temperature of the water in which the fish were reared. The release site is ten kilometers from the sea; the fry will cover this distance in two months. At sea, the salmon will gain weight and, after two to three years, return to their release site to spawn.

Previously, in 2020-2021, the company organized the release of fry in batches of 6,000 and 12,000. Environmental campaigns to restore the brown trout population are yielding positive results. Cases of fish weighing up to 500 grams returning to the rivers have already been recorded.

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 and natural resources in the regions where they operate, and are also committed to environmentally friendly production and minimizing their environmental impact.

In addition to releasing the fry, the Tuapse Oil Refinery also participates in environmental campaigns, holding cleanup days, including in the area around the Kiseleva Rocks natural monument. The company's volunteers also conduct environmental education among young people.

Rosneft companies organized environmental celebrations in Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran. Over 1,500 residents of the region participated in the large-scale events.

Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery employees held the tenth anniversary of the "Ecolife" environmental family festival. The festival offered a platform for educational recreation, socializing, and creativity. Adults and children alike tried their hand at environmental workshops, quizzes, and competitions, and participated in a geography quest. The festival featured an environmental lecture hall, a photo exhibition, and interactive areas exploring the flora and fauna of the Samara Region. At the "Ecowardrobe" area, organizers introduced guests to examples of recycling and held a workshop on creating vibrant art panels from unwanted clothing.

This year, the festival brought together environmental clubs, museums, children's libraries, and schools from Novokuibyshevsk. Young environmentalists, together with activists from the "Movement of the First," organized a site where everyone could exchange plastic bottle caps for chestnut saplings. Volunteers from the enterprise also shared information about the principles of waste separation and recycling.

The Syzran Oil Refinery hosted the FormatECO family festival for the eighth time. The city-wide celebration included workshops on making crafts from natural materials, themed photo zones, and a plastic and wastepaper collection point. Everyone was invited to participate in a quest to test their knowledge about environmental protection and recycling. An interactive paper show was organized for the youngest guests, with all the props later sent for recycling. At the end of the environmental festival, the refinery workers and children planted juniper saplings near the Nadezhda sports and fitness center.

Environmental initiatives are an important component of Rosneft's corporate culture. The Company's enterprises place significant emphasis on environmental education among young people, fostering a caring attitude toward nature, and developing healthy eco-habits.

The microbial preparation "Oceanida," an environmentally friendly development by Rosneft Oil Company, has received a positive conclusion from a state environmental review. The preparation is designed for the effective and safe disposal of hydrocarbon pollutants in Arctic seas. The expert commission determined that the innovation complies with environmental protection requirements. The conclusion was approved by an order from Rosprirodnadzor.

The development of this biopreparation is the result of extensive scientific research. The project is being implemented through a collaboration between Rosneft's Arctic Research Center and Innopraktika, based at the Faculty of Biology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The product is based on psychrophilic (cold-loving) microorganisms that can utilize hydrocarbons as a nutritional source.

During the project, specialists conducted a series of expeditions in the Arctic region to search for native microbial strains that most effectively degrade oil slicks. They also developed and tested a technologically advanced formulation of the product—coated granules containing dormant microbial cells and the nutrients necessary for their initial growth.

Scientists conducted detailed studies of the drug's safety for humans, animals, and marine ecosystems. The effectiveness of "Oceanida" was proven not only in laboratory conditions but also in field trials at the White Sea Biological Station of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. Hydrocarbon losses amounted to 36.7% over 45 days, even at temperatures as low as -1.5°C. Based on the obtained data on the drug's safety for marine ecosystems, an environmental assessment confirmed the suitability of "Oceanida" for use in Arctic seas.

Environmental sustainability in business operations is a key priority for Rosneft Oil Company. The use of modern biotechnological solutions will enable the effective and environmentally safe elimination of hydrocarbon pollution of all types, but especially the so-called "chronic pollution" that arises from the operation of maritime transport.

Cumulative production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field, developed by RN-Yuganskneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), has reached 100 million tons of oil.

A distinctive feature of the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field is its multi-layer structure, consisting of a dozen horizons, each of which is drilled by its own grid of wells.

The high performance was achieved through the commissioning of new wells, the construction of infrastructure facilities, and the use of modern technologies.

Currently, over 400 wells provide production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field. Since the beginning of 2025, 20 new wells, including seven horizontal ones, have been commissioned. RN-Yuganskneftegaz specialists are using sidetracking technology, which allows for increased oil recovery at the mature asset and the return of mothballed wells to production.

The field is developed using hydraulic fracturing operations, which significantly increases oil production.

The field has great development prospects. Near-term plans at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field include drilling wells at two cluster pads, which will increase oil production. Additionally, exploration is underway at the underlying horizons.

Reference:

RN-Yuganskneftegaz is a key asset of Rosneft Oil Company, accounting for approximately 30% of the Company's total production. The company conducts geological exploration and development of fields in 40 license areas covering a total area of over 21,000 square kilometers in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

The company's cumulative production since the beginning of its operations exceeds 2.7 billion tons of oil.
