Rosneft’s Geonavigation School Trains First 1,000 Specialists
02 December 2025
The world’s first Geonavigation School, which was established to provide highly specialised training in the field of drilling support, has trained its 1,000th specialist.
The School currently offers 12 educational courses, which cover all aspects of geological support for well drilling. The courses are delivered by twenty highly qualified trainers.
The School trains around 200 Rosneft employees each year. The educational programmes are regularly updated taking into account the wishes of the students. All examples and assignments are practical production cases. Students note that teachers cover innovative topics which are not even taught at the country’s top universities.
Particular attention is paid to studying all the functions of RN-Horizon+, a specialised programme for providing geological support for well and lateral drilling.
The high quality of the specialist training is confirmed by professional achievements. School graduates often become winners and prize-winners at Russian and international geonavigation competitions.
The Geonavigation School’s ongoing work is part of the Company’s strategy to train highly qualified personnel and ensure technological leadership.
For reference:
Geonavigation is the process of real-time adjustment to the trajectory of a well to increase penetration through the most productive part of the reservoir. Decisions regarding trajectory adjustment are based on the analysis of logging data during drilling using specialised geonavigation software.
