Rosneft energy workers celebrate their professional holiday with new production achievements.

Improving the efficiency of production assets is a key element of Rosneft's strategy. In 2025, the Company's enterprises implemented more than 42,000 energy-saving measures, reducing energy consumption by 317,000 tons of fuel equivalent, amounting to over 7.8 billion rubles.

This result was achieved through a systematic approach to the efficient use of energy resources at all stages—from well drilling to outdoor lighting at production facilities. Thanks to the high level of expertise of specialists, the energy management system at Rosneft's production facilities is constantly being improved.

The main contribution to improving energy efficiency and ensuring the reliability of power supply to production facilities is made by activities at the Company's exploration and production enterprises.

Udmurtneft, Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha, Verkhnechonskneftegaz, Vostsibneftegaz, and RN-Krasnodarneftegaz achieved high energy efficiency indicators by optimizing their mechanized equipment, implementing higher-efficiency pumps, energy-efficient motors and electric heating thermostats, and installing automatic lighting controls. Samotlorneftegaz implemented 1,900 measures, saving approximately 230 million kWh. The economic impact exceeded 1.1 billion rubles.

Power engineers at the Company's oil refining and petrochemical complex—the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery, the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery, and the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery—have reduced energy consumption by modernizing production, optimizing technological processes, and introducing energy-efficient equipment.

In 2025, Rosneft's research and development team met the Company's needs for energy facility design, advanced power supply schemes, and engineering services. They designed over 615 km of 35-220 kV overhead power lines, electrical substations with a total capacity of 370 MVA, and thermal generation facilities with a total capacity of 13 MW. Conceptual design solutions were developed for the construction of unified modular power plants based on domestically produced gas turbine units with unit capacities ranging from 6 to 25 MW. A key project was the construction of Russia's largest oil pumping station, which includes power supply for over 1,000 electrical receivers, cable lines, and overpasses with a total length of 1,500 km.

To meet growing energy demands, new power facilities were commissioned at the Company's new fields in 2025. They are equipped with modern Russian-made equipment, adapted for uninterrupted operation in harsh climates. Automation also reduces the need for personnel.

Thus, Bashneft launched the first 110 kV digital substation, Mirnaya, in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Samotlorneftegaz launched a new 110/35/6 kV substation with a capacity of 40 MVA. Tyumenneftegaz commissioned the 110 kV PSP Zapolyarnaya substation at the Russkoye field, with an installed capacity of 2×16 MVA, and a boiler house with an installed capacity of 232 MW. RN-Vankor commissioned a new 110 kV Tagul substation, and RN-Uvatneftegaz commissioned two new highly automated mobile 110 kV substations and a 35 kV substation. Udmurtneft launched a two-transformer 35 kV substation. Vostsibneftegaz commissioned two electrical substations at the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field.

Reliable and efficient operation of the electric power industry is the basis for the progressive development of the country's economy.

Congratulations to our colleagues on Power Engineer's Day!

Rosneft has announced the results of its large-scale IT Marathon, a series of high-tech competitions in which participants compete to solve production problems.

In 2025, the Ufa Research Institute and the Center for the Development and Implementation of Science-Intensive Technologies (CIT) organized seven competitions under the auspices of the IT Marathon: information modeling competitions, the Additive Technology and Reverse Engineering Cup, the Student Hackathon, the Academic Tournament, and the Geosteering League. The intellectual competitions brought together over 900 participants from 71 cities, 80 companies, and 92 universities, demonstrating the high interest of the professional and student community in the technological challenges of the oil and gas industry. The winners of all IT Marathon competitions met at the grand finale in Moscow.

Information modeling competitions were held in May among Rosneft's research and development institutes and production facilities. Teams developed information models and presented best practices for applying existing models in production.

Participants in the Additive Manufacturing Cup who passed the online qualifying round competed in September at the TNF Industrial and Energy Forum. The students designed an impeller for a centrifugal pump used in oil refineries: they scanned the sample, created a digital model, and 3D-printed the parts from plastic. Based on the results of bench tests, the jury selected the Cup winners. The winners were participants from St. Petersburg, Tyumen, and Ufa.

A student hackathon in November brought together over 340 participants from 45 Russian cities. In 48 hours, teams developed computer vision models to automatically highlight areas with different oil well placement patterns on a map. The authors of the 10 best solutions presented their projects to the hackathon jury. The top three winners included students from Moscow State University, Central University, and ITMO National Research University.

The Academic Tournament broke its own record for the number of participants in its three years of existence. A total of 154 representatives from 62 organizations in 25 cities participated in the scientific relay race. Teams developed algorithms and programs to accelerate the solution of systems of linear equations of a special type. The task has practical application in modeling fluid filtration processes in porous media, taking into account changes in the properties of an oil-saturated formation. Based on the results of the preliminary testing, 10 teams advanced to the competition finals. Following the testing and presentation of their results, the jury determined the winners of the Academic Tournament: Team Testv took first place, Yars took second place, and RESHALA took third place. The tournament's best solutions will be integrated into Rosneft's science-intensive software: RN-SIGMA, RN-KIM, and RN-GRID.

This year's Geosteering League brought together over 300 professionals and students from over 100 universities and organizations. The virtual horizontal well drilling championship was held using the RN-HORIZON corporate software suite. Following online qualifying rounds, 23 professional and 22 student finalists were determined. For the first time, the final qualifying round for professionals was held live. The top participants met at the finals in Moscow. In real time, they analyzed the geological situation based on incoming data, assessed risks, and plotted a well trajectory in a corporate simulator, promptly responding to unforeseen situations. The top three student winners were: Eldar Nigmatullin (Tyumen State University), Kirill Kosarev (Irkutsk State University), and Egor Nikitin (Tyumen Industrial University). Among the professionals, the best results were demonstrated by: Leonid Sivkov, Nikolai Kruglov, Lenar Sabirov (all from IGiRGI).

Representatives from leading universities and major Russian companies spoke at the IT Marathon finals. The speakers focused on breakthrough technologies, artificial intelligence trends, and aspects of information modeling in the oil and gas industry.

Samaraneftegaz (part of Rosneft's oil and gas production complex) is celebrating 80 years since the start of development at the Mukhanovskoye field, the largest in the Samara region by reserves. Cumulative oil production at the field is approaching 200 million tons. At the current production rate, the reserves here will last for at least another 50 years.

Geological exploration near the village of Mukhanovo, located 90 kilometers from Samara, was conducted during the final years of World War II. With limited equipment and specialists available, several shallow wells were sunk to search for hydrocarbon deposits, which yielded a significant gas flow.

In November 1945, Kungur oil was extracted from exploration well No. 1 at a depth of 420 meters, with a daily flow rate of 35 tons. It turned out to be the lightest and highest-quality oil known in the Volga region at the time. In terms of gasoline yield, Kungur oil surpassed not only the deep-seated Devonian oil but also the oil from the Carboniferous Formation, the dominant formation at the time.

Intensive geological exploration at the Mukhanovskaya site led to another success: in 1952, a gushing flow of light oil was obtained from Lower Carboniferous deposits at a rate of 300 tons per day. Three years later, the oil potential of the Devonian deposits was proven, and industrial development began. The discovery of Devonian oil deposits became a crucial milestone in the development of the region's oil industry and played a significant role in the country's post-war economic recovery.

The secret to the Mukhanovskoye field's longevity lies in the accurate calculation of production rates and management, the professionalism of its employees, and the use of new technologies. Its 175 wells account for approximately 5% of the company's total production.

Geological studies of the productive strata are still ongoing. Since 2020, 10 new deposits have been discovered here.

Wells undergo regular geological and technical interventions aimed at increasing hydrocarbon production. Three horizontal wells drilled have significantly increased oil recovery due to greater reservoir coverage and the ability to develop low-yield and thin formations.

The field continues to test new technologies, such as polymer composition testing during repair and insulation work, modern methods of treating the bottomhole formation zone to clean the bottomhole, and others.

Reference:

Samaraneftegaz operates in the Samara and Orenburg regions. The company's cumulative production since the start of field development in 1936 exceeds 1.3 billion tons of oil.
