Verkhnechonskneftegaz Plants Over 1 Million Pine Seedlings in Irkutsk Region
26 September 2025
Verkhnechonskneftegaz, part of Rosneft's oil and gas production complex, is expanding its reforestation program across the Irkutsk region.
In 2025 the company planted over 1 million Siberian pine seedlings across 540 hectares in the Irkutsk and Kirovsky forestries within the Baikal Natural Territory, and in the Kuitun forestry. The planting volume is seven times higher than the combined total of the previous five years.
Protecting the environment for future generations is one of Rosneft Oil Company's key priorities. The company and its subsidiaries are committed to playing a leading role in minimising environmental impact, improving the sustainability level of the production, and preserving ecosystems.
The Siberian pine seedlings were grown in specialized greenhouses with climate control and automated irrigation systems. Under these conditions, seedling survival rates exceed 90%. Before planting, each seedling stands over 10 cm tall with a root collar diameter above 2 mm. All seedlings feature uniform needle distribution across the crown, a straight single-leader trunk, and bright green to emerald needles.
For reference:
Verkhnechonskneftegaz JSC is developing the Verkhnechonskoye oil and gas condensate field, one of the largest in East Siberia, located in the Katangsky District of Irkutsk Region. The enterprise is also operating the license areas of Rosneft Oil Company in Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk Regions.
