In 2025, RN-Uvatneftegaz (a subsidiary of Rosneft) implemented 84 projects aimed at improving production efficiency, generating economic benefits totalling 2.7 billion roubles. Additionally, the enterprise’s specialists developed 20 new projects aimed at enhancing production efficiency throughout the year.

The most effective development at the Uvat project fields is the drilling of open horizontal wells over 1,000 metres deep. This method not only reduces the construction cycle for horizontal wells by almost three days, but also replaces the need for imported equipment. It is expected that this project will have an economic effect of 923 million roubles.

Using short-circuit indicators reduced the time needed to locate faults in power lines, thereby increasing the reliability of the power supply to oil production. During construction of the 110 kV Barrel power line, using a 110/35 kV configuration significantly reduced costs by eliminating the need for 6 kV equipment.

Improving the efficiency of the enterprise was also achieved through optimising the cluster site configuration and transitioning to pitless drilling. Reducing the area of the cluster site backfill and the number of slabs used lowered capital costs by 12%.

During the eight years of implementing the Production Efficiency Improvement System, employees at RN-Uvatneftegaz have introduced 132 projects into production and successfully completed the testing of eight innovative domestic technologies for use in drilling, well workover, power engineering and mechanised production.

In addition, RN-Uvatneftegaz employees submitted more than 500 efficiency proposals in 2025, 114 of which were recommended for implementation. The enterprise carries out optimisation in all areas, including increasing labour productivity and the quality, reliability and durability of products, saving material and labour resources, improving working conditions and industrial safety, and reducing environmental impact.

One of the key elements of the Rosneft-2030 Strategy is improving production efficiency. The Company is implementing a programme to reduce operating costs and capital investments, which includes introducing advanced technological solutions.
