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.

Reference:

RN-Uvatneftegaz, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, conducts exploration and development of fields located in the Uvatsky District of the Tyumen Region and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

The company's cumulative oil production exceeds 150 million tons since the start of operation of the Uvat project fields in 2007.

Narspi

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At Nikita Mikhalkov's Workshop "12" Theatre, actors from the K.V. Ivanov Chuvash Academic Drama Theatre will present the play "Narspi," based on the poem by Konstantin Ivanov.

This is a tragic story of love clashing with the harsh laws of patriarchal society. The young and beautiful Narspi, the daughter of wealthy parents, is married not to her lover, the poor Setner, but to the old and cruel rich man Takhtaman. This marriage of convenience, dictated by greed and social conventions, proves fatal for all the characters, inexorably leading to a tragic end.

The fates of Narspi and Setner, the old man Takhtaman, and other characters carry a profound symbolic meaning that goes beyond a single personal drama. Through their stories, the play explores the eternal problems of the human soul: the struggle for freedom and dignity, the conflict between emotion and duty, and the injustice of the established order. This powerful and poignant work still provokes reflection on the value of genuine feelings in a world where they are so often neglected.

Duration: two hours 20 minutes with intermission.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Last year, 47 large-scale investment projects (MaIPs) were completed in Moscow, covering a total area of approximately 140 hectares. These projects span all 12 administrative districts of the city and include a significant number of facilities that contribute to the development of its infrastructure and economy. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"By 2025, a total of 47 facilities were built as part of large-scale investment projects. This includes 13 educational, sports, and medical institutions, 17 industrial facilities, seven buildings for public, business, and multifunctional complexes, as well as administrative buildings and other structures. For these purposes, investors and developers have been allocated over 139.5 hectares of land across all 12 administrative districts. This contributes to the balanced development of the capital and is in line with the 15-minute city concept," said Vladimir Efimov.

Large-scale investment projects have been underway in the capital since 2016, stimulating investors and developers to build important projects for the city.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, the city is consistently developing its industrial sector for large-scale investment projects: in 2025, this sector became the leading one in terms of the number of MAIP projects implemented. One example is the first specialized food technology park, Ryabinovaya 44, with an area of almost 15,000 square meters, which has already begun operations in the Western Administrative District of Moscow. Furthermore, the KIT-MonArch robotic facility for the production of modules for prefabricated houses has been commissioned in the New Moscow. Its area is over 128,000 square meters," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

Starting in 2022, investors can obtain land for construction under the MAIP at a preferential rate of one ruble per year.

According to Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, head Department of City PropertyIn the Molzhaninovsky District, a project to build an industrial technology park with a total area of approximately 38,000 square meters is underway. In 2023, the city signed a five-year lease agreement with an investor for a land plot of approximately 3.4 hectares at a preferential rate of one ruble per year. Close attention was paid to the development of social infrastructure: the city provided 2.1 hectares of land on Dmitrovskoye Highway for the construction of an 800-seat school and a kindergarten for 150 students. Upon completion, the investor will transfer the facilities to the capital's education system.

The Maritime Initiative (MAIP) continues to foster favorable conditions for the deployment of high-tech manufacturing facilities. Specifically, a new shipyard was built last year, becoming the most modern among Russian shipyards producing electric vessels.

New projects are also being implemented in the public and business sectors. Last year, a business district was built on Andropov Avenue in the Nagatinsky Zaton district. In 2023, the city leased two plots of land, totaling almost one hectare, to an investor for this purpose. Construction was carried out in two phases: the first phase included two buildings with a total area of almost 6,000 square meters, and the second phase included four buildings with a total area of 14,300 square meters. In addition to office space, the area also houses shops, cafes, and a contemporary art gallery.

Attracting investment for the construction of new facilities and increasing investment activity is in line with the goals and initiatives of the national project "Efficient and competitive economy"More information about national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.

RUDN University architecture students developed designs for the depot

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Under the guidance of senior lecturer Sergei Ivanovich Chertkov, third-year RUDN University students, future architects, visited a functioning fire station. The tour became a key step in their work on their student projects for a modern fire station, allowing the future architects to combine theoretical knowledge with the real-world requirements of the facility.

Immersion in the profession

The field trip was part of the "Architectural Design" course. For the students, it was more than just a tour; it was an immersion into the profession and the specifics of the building being designed. The students saw from the inside what they had previously only read about in regulations and textbooks: garage logistics and rapid access routes, equipment storage, and the layout of work and living areas—from the training tower to the firefighters' break room. They also examined design solutions for high-speed descents, gates, and interior finishing with high-demand environments. Furthermore, the students asked the firefighters what they would change in the layout, which spaces they consider most important, and what helps or hinders their daily work.

Group leader Nina Popazova shared her impressions of what she saw.

"I was amazed by the depot's smooth and efficient operation. Every step—from equipment storage to dispatch logistics—was organized with maximum efficiency to minimize response time," says Nina Popazova.

The most challenging design, she says, was the fire engine garage and its on-site logistics. It was necessary to consider not only the convenience and speed of dispatch, but also the safety of traffic within the premises and ease of access to equipment. The main conclusion she drew from her discussions with the firefighters was the understanding that ergonomics and functionality of the spaces are key.

"It's crucial to properly design rest areas, changing rooms, and equipment storage areas so firefighters can quickly and comfortably prepare for deployment," says Nina Popazova.

Following the tour, changes were made to the project concept.

"New ideas emerged for optimizing equipment transfer and the layout of utility rooms. Some initial solutions had to be revised to make the project more closely reflect real-life working conditions," says Nina Popazova.

According to the student, visiting the depot helped her better understand the real requirements and needs of firefighters, making the project more thoughtful and practical. "Immersion in reality showed that theory and practice are two different things, and it's important to consider the details you only see on-site," says Nina Popazova.

A teacher's perspective

Senior lecturer Sergei Ivanovich Chertkov explained why the fire station theme was chosen for the academic project.

"The fire station project is relevant for today's times. The typology of such buildings incorporates a complex functional design. The structure offers a figurative solution and emphasizes the honor and masculinity of the Ministry of Emergency Situations," says Sergei Chertkov.

Before the excursion, the teacher set specific tasks for the students.

"These include practical familiarization with the conditions and specifics of the Ministry of Emergency Situations' technology, communication with firefighters, and reflection on one's creative ideas for immediate implementation," says Sergei Chertkov.

In his opinion, after the trip, work on projects reached a new level.

"The students developed a realistic approach to reality and a sense of belonging. Their projects were submitted and passed in the first module of the fifth semester," said Sergey Chertkov.
