The East Siberian Oil and Gas Company and Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz (Rosneft subsidiaries) held a competition and awarded new grants to support initiatives of practical importance to the Evenki District of Krasnoyarsk Krai. Grants were awarded to projects aimed at preserving the region's rich natural and cultural heritage.

An educational project to create a guide to rare and game birds of Evenkia received support. For indigenous peoples living in the harsh climate and remoteness from large settlements, bird hunting is an important traditional form of nature management. However, in addition to game birds, Evenkia is home to approximately 40 species of rare birds. To preserve rare species and improve environmental awareness among the local population, the guide is planned to be distributed among indigenous peoples' associations of the north, educational organizations, and regional authorities. The collection will seamlessly synthesize scientific ornithological data and the practical knowledge of indigenous peoples. Descriptions will include photographs, characteristics, and details that make it easy to identify birds in the field, as well as Evenki names and folklore associated with each species.

The second grant will support the ethnocultural project "Living Thread of the North." It will bring together knowledge about Evenki folklore, traditional crafts, and ornamental art in two formats: printed and digital. An illustrated album will describe their daily life, customs, and beliefs, as well as the secrets of their artisans. The digital version of the systematized data will form the basis for an educational platform dedicated to the cultural heritage of the Evenki, aimed at the younger generation and anyone interested in the ethnic groups of Eastern Siberia. The project coincides with the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and will make a significant contribution to strengthening interethnic dialogue.

Preserving the national cultures of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life is a key focus of Rosneft's social policy. The company and its subsidiaries in the regions where they operate implement numerous social projects aimed at supporting the traditional way of life of indigenous peoples, developing educational initiatives, and educating the younger generation.

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.
