Rosneft and the Ministry of Economic Development, Investment, Tourism and Foreign Relations of the Orenburg Region presented a new tourist route "Patterns of the Orenburg winter".

The project presentation took place at a Bashneft gas station (part of Rosneft). Company representatives and tourism experts spoke about the historical landmarks, unique crafts of the region, and cultural and sports venues along the route. Guests of the gas station received prizes for correctly answering a themed quiz, which would be useful during their winter travels.

Rosneft actively supports initiatives to develop domestic tourism and creates comfortable conditions for travelers by car, improving the quality of services at its gas stations and actively developing roadside services.

The 294-kilometer route runs from the regional capital along the snow-capped mountain slopes of Eastern Orenburg to the Kuvandyksky District. Six Bashneft gas stations are conveniently located along the route, where tourists can fill up with guaranteed-quality fuel, relax comfortably, and purchase essentials for the journey, including locally produced goods.

Car enthusiasts can begin their journey with a visit to the "Orenburg Downy Shawl" gallery, which carefully preserves the history and culture of down knitting. The exhibition features weightless downy shawls and shawls that can be threaded through a ring. Inspired by the designs, guests can take part in creative workshops and educational lectures dedicated to the symbol of the Orenburg region.

The next stop on the route is the House of Down Fashion – a creative space and workshop where the traditions of an ancient craft, originating in the 18th century, are embodied in modern accessories, souvenirs, and clothing.

At the National Village cultural complex, travelers can learn about the history, culture, and customs of the region's ethnic groups. The open-air museum features 10 farmsteads, each built in the traditions of the region's ethnic groups.

Further east in the region, tourists can visit the Orenburg Down Farms eco-farm and learn how the famous shawls are made from goat down. During the tour, you can see down goats bred from local breeds, learn about the down processing and thread production process, try your hand at spinning yarn, and, under the guidance of experienced craftswomen, knit a piece of an authentic Orenburg shawl.

Krasnaya Gora, a charming tourist destination in the Saraktash district of the region, is the next stop on the route. The 18th-century fortress set was built for the filming of A.S. Pushkin's "The Captain's Daughter" and "The History of Pugachev." Krasnaya Gora offers picturesque views of the surrounding area, the river at its foot, and the village of Saraktash. A striking landmark of this village is the Holy Trinity Monastery of Mercy, a grandiose ecclesiastical and architectural complex.

The route then passes through a picturesque landscape where the endless steppes flow smoothly into the Ural foothills—the beginning of Russia's legendary "Stone Belt." This chain of ancient hills, reminiscent of the back of a steppe dragon from above, has become a tourist attraction, featuring the famous "Seven Peaks of the Ural Steppe" hiking trail.

The final destination is the multifunctional ski resort "Kuvandyk 365." Translated from Bashkir, "kuvandyk" means "valley of happiness." The resort's slopes offer 11 trails of varying lengths, suitable for beginners and experienced skiers and snowboarders. The gentle and wide slopes are comfortable for learning and family skiing. The complex also features an ice rink and a snow park with professional freestyle tracks.

"Patterns of Orenburg Winter" is the fifth tourist route developed by Rosneft jointly with the Ministry of Economic Development, Investment, Tourism, and Foreign Relations of the Orenburg Region. In 2024, as part of the "Horizons of Russia" project, the interregional route "Power of Nature" from Orenburg to Ufa and "Relic Pearl" from the regional capital to the Buzuluk Forest were launched. This year, the routes "Steppe Stories" from Buzuluk to Aksakovo and "Ural Wind" from Samara to Orenburg were presented.

Rosneft specialists have developed an innovative oil production management model within the RN-Predix. Saturn information system.

The key feature of the software prototype is the collection of real-time data on wells, pipelines, and oil, gas, and water treatment facilities. The model automatically performs multivariate calculations in near-real time and determines optimal operating parameters for the entire production chain.

The model's main advantages over similar models, including foreign ones, are the ability to work with daily data and forecast production conditions up to a month in advance. This allows for assessing changes in oil production volumes.

The innovation's high productivity is achieved not so much by its unique software code, but by a fundamentally new approach to modeling. The software treats the deposit as a single entity, not as a collection of individual elements. This allows for optimal solutions to be found for the entire system, not just its individual components.

The development was tested at production wells at the Oryebashskoye field. Using the integrated model at 12 wells, it was possible to increase daily oil production by 10%.

In 2026-2027, it is planned to replicate the model at other Company fields.

Reference:

The RN-Predix. Saturn automated oil field management system is a unique example of the synergy between modern domestic digital solutions, advanced software, and the expertise of Rosneft specialists. The project's advanced solutions, for the first time in the industry, cover all key oil production and logistics processes, from wellheads through transportation and treatment systems to oil delivery to the Company's refineries and consumers via the main pipeline system.
