Specialists from the Ufa scientific institute "Rosneft" have developed and patented the software "EchoTools" – the first domestic software that uses artificial intelligence to determine the liquid level and the speed of sound in the inter-tube space of a well. Using these indicators, oil workers calculate the bottomhole pressure and select the optimal operating mode for the well for maximum productivity.

The new software interprets, on average, more than 10 thousand readings from wells in two minutes; manually, this would take more than three days.

Well control solutions recommended by the new digital assistant “EchoTools” thanks to accelerated calculations allow, on average, one additional ton of oil to be extracted per day from one well.

Development of technological potential is one of the key elements of the Rosneft-2030 strategy. The company prioritizes innovation activities, defining technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.

Rosneft implements natural solutions in production

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

Specialists from the environmental protection service of the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company (part of Rosneft) are implementing a unique environmental project. For the first time, the company's wastewater treatment facilities will use water hyacinths (eichornia) to bio-purify wastewater.

The phytofiltration technology at the wastewater post-treatment unit is used by several Rosneft enterprises in the Samara region. The pioneer of implementation was the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery, where not only water hyacinths, but also pancratium and calamus help to achieve a high degree of wastewater disinfection. Eichhornia seedlings have proven themselves well at the treatment facilities of the Syzran and Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refineries.

Eichhornia is not just a beautiful ornamental plant. Its powerful root system works as a highly effective natural filter. The roots absorb any bacteriological contaminants, suspended matter, phosphorus, nitrogen and other chemical compounds from the water, providing a high degree of disinfection and bringing the quality of purified water closer to natural reservoirs. It is important that the plant is effective precisely in the warm period of the year, when bacteria are most active and the risk of contamination increases.

During the flowering period, the Eichhornia produces blue inflorescences, turning the water surface into a flower garden. The use of plants in the process of additional wastewater treatment is an example of the implementation of environmental solutions with proven economic and environmental efficiency.

Rosneft Improves Associated Petroleum Gas Purification Technologies

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

Employees of Orenburgneft, Rosneft's key production asset in the Volga region, have patented a technology for reducing the content of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans in associated petroleum gas (APG). The innovation has been implemented at the Vakhitovsky group of fields of the enterprise, which has increased the volume of rational use of APG from 20 to 80 thousand m3 per day. The economic effect from the implementation of the innovation will amount to more than 1 billion rubles within five years.

The essence of the innovation is to purify the gas flow in the pipeline by feeding a liquid reagent-neutralizer, which removes sulfur compounds from the APG without using additional equipment. Then the primarily purified product is sent to the Zagorskaya complex gas treatment plant for subsequent processing.

The company's specialists were the first to propose the idea of cleaning gas directly in the pipeline, which itself acts as a reactor, and proved its effectiveness. The technology does not require capital expenditures, construction of new facilities or additional equipment.

The introduction of the innovation made it possible to process additional volumes of sulfur-containing associated petroleum gas, increase the production of a wide fraction of light hydrocarbons and dry stripped gas, and supply additional volumes of treated gas to main gas pipelines.

Reference:

JSC Orenburgneft develops oil and gas fields in the Orenburg and Samara regions. Cumulative production is more than 470 million tons of oil.

The Vakhitovsky group of fields is located in the Orenburg region and covers an area of over 283 square kilometers. It includes the Vostochno-Kapitonovskoye, Mamalayevskoye, Tarashchanskoye, Khutorskoye, Donetsko-Syrtovskoye and Vakhitovsky fields. The total volume of current recoverable oil and gas reserves exceeds 39 million tons.

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

Orenburgneft, Rosneft's key production asset in the Volga region, has increased the reliability of power supply to oil production facilities by servicing 6 (10) kV power lines with truck-mounted hydraulic lifts on high-traffic chassis.

The unique tracked model has high technical and off-road capabilities. In particular, the driver of the special vehicle can automatically level the working platform and control the equipment remotely from the control panel.

The equipment also allows for the safe delivery and lifting of people and large loads (metal structures, construction equipment), and the performance of transport and technological operations in particularly difficult road and climatic conditions of marshy terrain, afloat and virgin snow.

The use of hydraulic lifts increases the speed of response to technological shutdowns of network infrastructure during periods of adverse weather conditions by reducing the time it takes for special equipment to arrive at the site of damage, which ensures uninterrupted operation of oil-producing wells and reduces transportation costs.

The Company's enterprises regularly replenish their fleets of specialized equipment with new models from domestic developers. Domestic all-terrain vehicles also help the enterprise maintain reliable power supply at any time of year on any site. Last year, the fleet of Orenburgneft's special equipment was replenished with ten such high-traffic vehicles.

Reference:

JSC Orenburgneft, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, carries out production activities in the Orenburg, Samara and Saratov regions. The company's fields are supplied with electricity by 51 35-110 kV substations with a total length of 6-110 kV networks – more than 4,000 km. From 2019 to 2024, as part of the implementation of the program to improve the reliability of power supply to oil production facilities, Orenburgneft commissioned seven 35-110 kV electrical substations, 170 km of overhead lines of 35-110 kV voltage class were built.

With the support of Rosneft, ornithologists are preserving the white-tailed eagle population in the Samara region

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

Specialists from the Samara group of Rosneft enterprises and ornithologists from the Samarskaya Luka National Park summed up the results of the field stage of a joint project to study and preserve the endangered white-tailed eagle on the territory of the reserve.

The key result was the data indicating an increase in the population of the red-listed bird in the Samarskaya Luka National Park by more than a third. Field studies of the autumn-winter period of 2024-2025 confirmed the positive dynamics. Scientists discovered new nests of eagles in the park, which indicates an expansion of the nesting range. Thanks to monitoring in previously identified areas, the constant presence of birds, active renewal of nests and mating behavior were recorded. To protect key habitats of birds in these areas, a special regime was introduced and patrols were increased.

The main criterion for assessing the dynamics was the data on breeding observations: in 2024, all pairs successfully hatched chicks. The current activity of birds and 100% nesting success last year allow scientists to predict population growth in the reserve.

Educational work is an integral part of the strategy for the conservation of rare animals. As part of the project, information stands have been installed on the reserve's walking routes, introducing visitors to the key characteristics of the white-tailed eagle population: it is the largest bird of prey in the Samara Region, included in the Red Books of the region, Russia, and the International Red Book.

Photo and video recording of birds in their natural habitat is another important area of the conservation project. The collected materials will be used to create a scientific archive, educational programs and further conservation initiatives. In addition, it is planned to organize a photo exhibition "Orlan".

Caring for the environment is an integral part of the corporate culture and principles of Rosneft. The Company pays great attention to ornithological projects. Thanks to the support of the Company's subsidiaries in different regions of the country, research is conducted and programs for the care of rare bird species are implemented: Steller's sea eagles, wild geese, ivory gulls, etc.

Reference:

The enterprises of the Samara Rosneft Group have had long-standing cooperation with the Samarskaya Luka National Park. A grant project to study and protect the white-tailed eagle has been implemented for the second year. Another grant project has developed and launched the Ecotrail 63 mobile application for virtual travel around the national park. Earlier, thanks to the support of oil workers, the LukAmorye environmental education complex was opened in the city of Zhigulevsk, a visitor center in the village of Sosnovy Solonets, and an aviary was built for birds that have lost the ability to live in the wild.

Rosneft scientists find rare traces of ancient fauna in core

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

Specialists from the Rosneft Research Institute in Tomsk have discovered well-preserved traces of marine fauna from the Jurassic period in rock: ray-finned fish, parts of a sea lily, and the skeleton of a brittle star, a distant relative of the starfish.

Such finds in cores (rock samples studied to search for, estimate reserves and extract oil) are more often found in the form of small fragments or individual flakes. The discovery of large remains – parts of the skeleton and skin – is a unique event.

Thus, while studying rock samples extracted from an exploratory well in the Surgut region of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, Tomsk geologists found imprints of a ray-finned fish with clear outlines of three fins.

According to Rosneft specialists and paleontologists from Tomsk State University who studied the fossil, the find belongs to the extinct family Peipiaosteidae, early representatives of the order Acipenseridae, and the shelf deposits surrounding the fish date back to the late Oxfordian (Late Jurassic period), covering a time period from 158 to 154.8 million years ago.

Such traces of ancient organic matter allow scientists to more accurately identify disparate fragments of flora and fauna, establish their connections with the environment, and determine conditions favorable for the formation and accumulation of oil.

Reference:

The Tomsk scientific institute of Rosneft has collected more than 160 kilometers of physical rock samples, selected for research from several thousand wells of Russian oil and gas fields. A detailed study of the conditions of formation of oil deposits is provided by its own scientific and analytical center, using more than 600 units of classical and newest equipment, including unique micro- and mesotomographs, designed to create high-precision "digital twins" of the core structure.

Rosneft Research Institutes Recognized as Leaders in Information Modeling

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

The Samara and Krasnodar scientific institutes of the Company became winners of the competition, which was held within the framework of the conference "TIMI 2025. Technologies of information modeling and engineering".

More than 20 information models* of the largest organizations and enterprises from various branches of industrial and civil construction, developed using domestic software products, were submitted to the competition. The projects were evaluated in terms of the efficiency of using the provided functionality and the level of complexity of the information models.

Rosneft is one of the leaders in the development of 3D design. Hundreds of objects have been designed in the Company using information modeling technologies. The information model helps to confirm the possibility of safe operation. Subsequently, the digital project is used at the stages of reconstruction and technical re-equipment of objects.

Samara specialists presented a three-dimensional model of the designed facilities of the Vostochno-Kapitonovskoye field of Orenburgneft (the Company's production asset). The development includes a gas compressor station and a preliminary water discharge unit. The total area of the complex will exceed 60 hectares.

The project contains more than 78 thousand different objects, each of which is linked to information from the construction schedule. The schedule integrated with the 3D model allows you to quickly receive information about each object of the model, including the delivery and installation dates of the structure and equipment.

Specialists from the Krasnodar Scientific Institute have created a digital 3D model of an oil pumping station, which will reduce the construction period by 10% and also improve the operational characteristics of the facility.

Reference:

An information model (BIM model) is a detailed model, a data storage of the object's geometry, materials and equipment. It is used throughout the entire life cycle of the object: during construction, reconstruction, operation and dismantling.

The information model is effective at all stages of the life cycle of a capital construction project. At the design stage, it improves the quality of design and estimate documentation by minimizing possible errors, which will subsequently reduce the time of construction and installation works. At the construction stage, the model helps to monitor the progress of work, issue comments on deviations from the project and record progress using laser scanning. At the operation stage, the "digital twin" allows you to store the necessary documentation for each object, plan the maintenance of the object's equipment. As a promising development, the functionality of information modeling includes the ability to export information models to a virtual reality environment to create VR simulators for employee training.
