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.

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.

With Rosneft's support, the first stage of research into valuable fish species in the Yenisei River has been completed. Leading scientists from the Lomonosov Moscow State University Marine Research Center, the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Company's Arctic Research Center participated in the expedition to the Taimyr Peninsula. The work was carried out as part of the company's Tamura corporate environmental program.

The Tamura project, which launched in 2024, aims to update information on the status of key animal species in the Far North. Scientists are studying the Kara subpopulation of polar bears, wild reindeer, and valuable bird and fish species in western Taimyr. The program will run until 2027.

The first phase of ichthyofauna research involved a comprehensive survey, including assessing the population status of the most valuable fish species and the environmental conditions of their habitats. Scientists covered more than 600 km of the Yenisei River estuary, including its most important and major tributaries—the Bolshaya Kheta, Pelyatka, Dudinka, Tanalau, and Muksunikha rivers.

Biological analysis of fish such as muksun, whitefish, Arctic omul, and vendace was conducted in the ship's laboratory. Scientists measured their weight and size and studied their feeding habits. The selection of study sites was based on an analysis of ichthyological and hydrobiological research from the last 90 years.

Further office processing of the samples is planned to obtain data on the age characteristics of the fish population in the Yenisei River estuary, as well as additional information on their feeding habits. Furthermore, specialists will conduct chemical analysis of water and bottom sediment samples from the fish habitats.

The second phase of fish research is planned for 2026. Scientists will assess the state of the region's ichthyofauna populations at various stages of their life cycle, including feeding and spawning. The research will also include a biological analysis of the Yenisei's most abundant and valuable fish species, such as muksun, broad whitefish, and nelma.

Rosneft places special emphasis on preserving biodiversity and is implementing the largest comprehensive Arctic exploration program since Soviet times. Over the past 13 years, nearly 60 expeditions have been conducted, during which scientists have studied the region's hydrometeorological, geological, and biological features. This has allowed them to collect a unique array of information on the Arctic's climate, natural environment, and wildlife.

Bashneft Oil Company (part of Rosneft Oil Company) has begun pilot operation of its first pipeline made from composite materials, replacing traditional steel pipes. The first pipeline, at the Munir Gallyamov field, is 10 kilometers long. It has significantly improved oil transportation efficiency, environmental safety, and industrial safety.

The composite pipeline is the first stage in the creation of a large-scale production infrastructure using innovative developments in Bashkortostan's new oil-producing region. The pipeline was installed at the Munir Gallyamov field using pipe screwing. Installation speed is five times faster than traditional steel pipe welding.

Composite pipelines are corrosion-resistant and require no electrochemical protection, corrosion inhibition, or cleaning. The guaranteed service life of such "pipes" is three times longer—up to 50 years. The smoother internal surface of composite oil pipelines significantly reduces hydraulic losses during oil pumping and eliminates deposits on the pipe walls, which over time reduce the throughput of steel pipelines.

The transition to pipes made from this innovative material will significantly accelerate the construction of new oil pipelines and the development of reserves. The project was initiated by specialists from Bashneft-Dobycha, Bashneft's hydrocarbon field development operator.

Implementing innovation and maximizing technological potential is one of the key priorities of Rosneft's strategy. The company strives to improve production efficiency by relying on advanced domestic developments and technical solutions.
