Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Udmurtneft (part of Rosneft's oil production complex) has commissioned the Yelnikovo two-transformer 35 kV substation with a total installed capacity of 32 MVA. It will provide reliable power to existing and prospective oil production facilities at the Yelnikovskoye field.

During the substation's renovation, more powerful transformers were installed and an online diagnostic system for their technical condition was implemented. All equipment is Russian-made and meets modern energy efficiency and industrial safety requirements. The automated diagnostic system provides real-time equipment monitoring, enabling prompt monitoring of operation and the appropriate adjustments to process changes.

The upgraded substation will provide power for the increasing drilling volumes at the promising Yelnikovskoye field and the new production capacity being commissioned. By the end of 2026 alone, 18 new wells are planned to be built there.

Udmurtneft previously commissioned the newly constructed Kotovo substation with an installed capacity of 20 MVA and a double-circuit 110 kV transmission line extending over 30 km. The Sokolovka 110 kV substation was also reconstructed, bringing its installed capacity to 80 MVA.

Improving the efficiency of production assets is a key element of Rosneft's strategy. The company and its subsidiaries are systematically working to ensure the efficient use of resources, optimize energy consumption, and distribute electrical loads.

Following the implementation of the energy conservation program, Udmurtneft saved over 24 million kWh of electricity in the first nine months of 2025. The economic impact amounted to approximately 157 million rubles.

Reference:

PJSC Udmurtneft is the largest oil producing company in Udmurtia, accounting for 60% of the region's oil production. It develops 36 fields located in 14 districts of the republic. The company's cumulative production exceeds 340 million tons of oil.

The awards help reimagine Russia's tourism landscape and discover new destinations.
