Rosneft is improving the processing of high-viscosity oil.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

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

Specialists from the St. Petersburg Corporate Research Institute successfully tested a mobile unit for separating high-viscosity oil produced at the Russkoye field of Tyumenneftegaz (part of Rosneft).

The plant's primary equipment is a centrifuge, a high-speed automatic separation device. Inside the centrifuge drum, the oil emulsion is continuously separated into dehydrated oil, water, and solids. The plant's capacity is up to 840 m³/day. The centrifugal separator is hermetically sealed and operates with an inert gas supply to the drum, ensuring the safety and reliability of the process.

The key advantage of the solution is its mobility, enabling rapid deployment in the field, including at remote and hard-to-reach fields. The use of mobile systems will reduce capital expenditures on field development by up to 40% and energy costs for remote well pads by at least 25%.

March 17, 2026: From Metrics to Reputation: What Advertisers Will Change in 2026

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

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

Television and digital platforms are reaching a turning point, with advertising becoming increasingly integrated into ecosystems and PR communications becoming a fully-fledged business tool. These and other trends defined the agenda of the "Digital Brand Day 2026" conference held in Moscow, which brought together over 170 industry representatives.

The event brought together advertisers, marketers, PR directors, and executives from leading media outlets. Over the course of 28 sessions across seven areas, participants sought answers to the key question: how to operate effectively in a new reality, where digital has become not just a fad, but a fundamental norm. Experts from Gazprom-Media Holding, among others, shared their perspectives and practical case studies. Key outcomes of the conference:

TV and Digital: From Competition to Unified Standards

Viewers increasingly notice the difference between television and the internet, consuming content wherever it's most convenient. However, this transition remains painful for market players. While the TV segment already operates according to transparent and established rules with verified, unified metrics, in digital, each platform still uses its own approaches to measurement and reporting. The main market demand voiced at the conference was the implementation of a unified measurement system in digital. This will allow advertisers, sellers, and platforms to reach a new level of efficiency and increase their investment in video without unnecessary risks.

Half of advertising will move to ecosystems by 2030

Advertising follows user attention, which is increasingly concentrated within ecosystems. According to Mediascope, the number of ecosystem users reached 105 million by the end of 2025, an increase of 1.2 million year-on-year. Ecosystems are becoming key habitats for consumers, offering them a seamless experience. For advertisers, this means a need to rethink their strategies: their share of total media consumption and, consequently, advertising budgets will only grow.

Trust and Reputation as a Business Tool for Gazprom-Media Holding

In a highly competitive environment, PR is no longer simply a support function and is increasingly being integrated directly into the business logic of our holding's product development. This trend was confirmed by Alexander Kormukhin, Head of Communications at Gazprom-Media Holding. He described the holding's PR function as a "single living organism," where a centralized strategy is combined with local flexibility.

"To handle such a large volume of brands and content, we've built a two-tier system. Product PR promotes specific projects for advertisers and is a tool for rapid monetization. Business PR focuses on the strategic outlook and capitalization of the entire holding company. The most striking example of the effectiveness of this approach is our key digital asset, RUTUBE. Last year, the platform's revenue quadrupled, and we directly attribute this to the growth in audience figures, which our communications contributed to."

Alexander Kormukhin, Head of Communications, Gazprom-Media Holding

Main vector

Summing up the results of Digital Brand Day 2026, participants agreed: the market is entering a phase of maturity, where growth is impossible without systemic change. The future belongs to those players willing to agree on unified and transparent measurement rules (both in TV and digital), explore new spaces and ecosystems for consumer communication, and rethink the role of PR, transforming it from a service function into a driver of strategic development and business growth. The ability to build long-term relationships with audiences based on trust and reputation is becoming a key asset.

Gazprom-Media Holding employees participated in a creative workshop organized by the Mosvolonter Resource Center in honor of its anniversary. Volunteers participated in a creative workshop on clothing customization, focusing on sustainable consumption.

The media holding's team members approached the process creatively and deliberately, bringing old items with them to give them a second life. In the hands of the volunteers, they acquired new colors and a unique design.

Using fabric paint and artist brushes, participants transformed ordinary T-shirts into designer wardrobe items. The event was a great opportunity not only to express their creativity but also to reflect on the problems of overconsumption. The volunteers demonstrated through personal example that updating your wardrobe doesn't necessarily require buying new items; a little creativity and a splash of color are all it takes.

The event was part of the Holding's corporate social responsibility program, "PRO_Uchastie," and was supported by the Mosvolonter Resource Center. The Holding and the Mosvolonter Resource Center signed a cooperation agreement in 2023. This partnership has helped expand the scale and effectiveness of volunteer projects, including environmental campaigns, educational programs, and support for social institutions. Support for volunteerism and socially significant projects is an integral part of Gazprom-Media Holding's corporate social policy.

Rosneft improves the quality of field development design

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

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

Scientists from Rosneft's Ufa Research Institute have patented an innovative method for assessing the technological efficiency of oil and gas field development.

The solution enables the determination of the most suitable well completion technologies, including hydraulic fracturing (HF), taking into account the geological features of various sections of the field.

The method is an algorithm implemented as a software module within the RN-KIN corporate information system. The algorithm collects and analyzes geological and physical reservoir characteristics, production data, well completion parameters, and hydraulic fracturing design. The algorithm then calculates the multiple of well production rates that would be achieved using the proposed technology, relative to well production rates using the technology currently used at the field.

The solution has been successfully tested at the Priobskoye field. The test results confirm the innovation's effectiveness in evaluating oil and gas field development solutions. The application of the developed tool will improve the accuracy of assessing the effectiveness of various field development technologies for decision-making on their replication. The innovative solution is planned for implementation at 1,000 high-tech wells with recoverable reserves of 60 million tons.

Developing technological potential is a key element of Rosneft-2030's corporate strategy. The company prioritizes innovation, identifying technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.

Reference:

The RN-KIN corporate software suite enables the rapid analysis of any geological and technological information about wells and fields, as well as complex engineering calculations to optimize reservoir performance and enhance oil recovery. It is one of the few IT products that implements the full digital modeling cycle—from planning to results interpretation and project feasibility assessment.
