RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft) increased its hydrocarbon reserves by 12 million tons of oil equivalent in 2025, replenishing production by 109%.

The increase in reserves was driven by successful geological exploration and a reassessment of the resources of existing fields. The reserves of the new Yuzhno-Keumskoye oil field have been added to the state register.

In 2025, RN-Uvatneftegaz constructed five exploration wells, producing commercial oil flows at rates of up to 19 m³/day. The exploration drilling success rate was 100%. The company's geologists have maintained this level for the third consecutive year.

Seismic data processing and interpretation have been completed at the Yuzhno-Kamelyagskaya, Vostochno-Gerasimovskaya, Uspeshnaya, and Yelovaya sites. Based on the information obtained, a detailed geological model has been developed assessing the resource potential of these areas and identifying promising targets for exploration drilling. The model also helps minimize risks during geological work.

The company's reserves, which were added in 2025, will be put into development in the short term. RN-Uvatneftegaz is developing the fields using horizontal and directional hydraulically fractured wells, which significantly increase flow rates and oil recovery.

Plans for 2026 also include ensuring that hydrocarbon reserves are replenished to over 100% of production. The resources of the Pikhtov license area, where an active program of exploratory well testing is planned for this year, should become a new growth driver.

The awards ceremony for the winners of the 9th All-Russian Literary Competition with International Participation, "Star of the Arctic — Umka," took place in Krasnoyarsk. The competition is held annually by the Royev Ruchey Zoo with the support of Rosneft.

This year, young writers aged 5 to 17 from 72 regions of Russia, including Crimea, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, and the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts, participated in the competition. The jury also received creative works from China, Belarus, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Cyprus. The goal of the competition is to raise awareness about the conservation of polar bears and other unique Arctic fauna.

During the collaboration between Rosneft Oil Company and the Royev Ruchey Park, the competition's popularity and status have grown significantly. Over the past nine years, the number of submitted entries has increased ninefold. This year, approximately 4,000 entries were submitted for consideration across four age groups and five categories: fairy tales, short stories, poems, essays, and feature stories. The authors of the 125 best works received diplomas, special prizes, and commemorative gifts.

Furthermore, last year, by order of the Russian Ministry of Education, the competition was included in the list of Olympiads and intellectual and creative events in Russia. The names of the winners and runners-up are now included in the national "Talents of Russia" database and the registry of the Russian Educational Center "Sirius." This entitles high school graduates to preferential admission to universities.

Preserving and protecting the polar bear population is a key focus of Rosneft's environmental program. Since 2013, the Company has been caring for all polar bears living in Russian zoos. Currently, Rosneft is the caretaker of 36 polar bears in 16 zoos across the country, providing housing, feeding, veterinary care, enclosure renovations, toy production, and much more.

Since 2012, Rosneft has conducted over 60 large-scale Arctic expeditions, during which scientists assessed polar bear population sizes and their migration routes, and collected and analyzed biosamples from the predators. The information obtained is crucial for the future development of the region, as the polar bear is a bioindicator species for local ecosystems, along with reindeer, Atlantic walruses, and ivory gulls, all of which Rosneft studies.

On February 28, Russia celebrates Arctic Day, which aims to highlight the importance of exploring this rich but remote region and preserving its unique natural environment.

Rosneft makes a significant contribution to research in the Far North. Since 2012, the Company has been conducting the largest comprehensive Arctic exploration program since Soviet times. During this time, 64 expeditions have been organized in collaboration with key scientific institutes across the country.

Unprecedented expeditions explore the waters of the northern seas, the seabed, the coastal zone, glaciers and icebergs, and animal bioindicators. This work has yielded a vast array of scientific data, expanding our understanding of the polar regions and providing practical applications for their further development. The research results are also published in the Company's environmental atlases, accessible to scientists, experts, students from specialized universities, and the general public interested in the development of the Russian North.

In 2024, Rosneft began a new four-year biodiversity research cycle as part of its corporate Arctic ecosystem conservation program, dubbed "Tamura." The goal is to update information on the state of the region's key flora and fauna, including bioindicators. The program has already conducted 10 expeditions to study polar bears, wild reindeer, and valuable bird and fish species in the northern Krasnoyarsk Krai.

In 2025, the Company summarized the results of a joint environmental project with Innopraktika in the White Sea. The project participants retraced the route of the 1922-1926 expeditions of renowned Soviet hydrobiologist Konstantin Deryugin, who detailed the flora and fauna of the White Sea. Scientists analyzed secular changes in the region's marine ecosystems using Deryugin's methods and modern technologies, and assessed the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on the Arctic ecology. The specialists concluded that the White Sea ecosystem remains stable. However, research revealed insufficient knowledge of the fauna of the Arctic seas: up to 30% of species retain an uncertain taxonomic status, meaning their place in biological classification is unclear, and significant work remains to be done to revise the fauna of the Arctic seas. At the same time, the specialists managed to describe species new to science.

In the area of innovative solutions, the Company, together with Innopraktika, developed the microbial product "Oceanida" for the removal of hydrocarbon pollution from northern seas. In 2025, the product received a positive conclusion from the state environmental review. The expert commission determined that the innovation complies with environmental protection requirements.

Rosneft is engaged in educational activities. In 2025, the Company, in collaboration with the non-governmental development institute Innopraktika, launched an online course of popular science lectures, "Arctic Wanderer: Polar Bear," and in 2023, "Flight Above the Ice: Seabirds of the Russian Arctic." The popular science lecture course, "Flight Above the Ice: Seabirds of the Russian Arctic," won the international Edtek Award. The courses are available to everyone on the Lectorium educational platform.

The 14th Rosneft Winter Sports Games concluded at the Sochi Olympic Park. Four days of intense competition brought together more than 500 athletes from 34 subsidiaries and the Company's headquarters.

The final hockey matches and the awards ceremony for the Games' winners took place at the Iceberg Ice Palace, the arena that brought the Russian Olympic team numerous gold medals in 2014. On behalf of the professional athletes participating in the Games, Rosneft was congratulated by Ivan Chubarov, driver of the Lada Sport Rosneft racing team.

"The Winter Games have once again proven that Rosneft is not just a professional oil team, but also a large sports family. Sport unites generations and regions, and we will continue these traditions," the Games' organizing committee noted.

This year, participants competed in three disciplines: cross-country skiing, biathlon, and hockey. The hockey tournament was a record-breaking affair, with over 100 matches, and 33 teams vying for the Super League and Major League crowns. After a shootout, Ufaorgsintez emerged victorious in the Super League, while ROSPAN secured a shutout victory in the Major League.

The cross-country skiing competitions took place at another Olympic venue, the Laura Stadium, located at an altitude of 1,500 meters. Athletes had to cover distances of 10 km (men's) and 5 km (women's), with an elevation difference of 64 meters. The competition culminated in a mixed relay, in which the teams demonstrated tactical coordination. Samaraneftegaz athletes won the team competition.

Bioathletes also competed at the Laura Stadium, covering a 3.75-kilometer course with two shooting ranges. A unique feature of the tournament was the use of their own rifles (Alex C1 and Pioneer models). For the first time at the Rosneft Games, shooting was conducted not only from the prone position but also from the standing position, which requires exceptional endurance and skill. Yugansneftegaz athletes won the team competition.

Sport is an integral part of Rosneft's social policy. The company implements comprehensive programs to support employee health and active leisure, hosting summer and winter Spartakiads, as well as tournaments in various sports. The Winter Sports Games are a key event demonstrating the company's commitment to the values of a healthy lifestyle and teamwork.
