This professional holiday was established 60 years ago to honor the contribution of Soviet scientists to the development of the country&rsquo;s mineral resource base.</p> <p>Today, Rosneft&rsquo;s geologists are also successfully assessing the resource potential of the subsoil and are actively expanding and bringing hydrocarbon reserves into production.</p> <p>Thanks to the high efficiency of its exploration activities, the Company discovered 6 fields and 112 new hydrocarbon deposits in 2025, with reserves of 0.3 bln toe (AB1C1+B2C2 category). As a result, Rosneft&rsquo;s hydrocarbon reserves, according to the Russian classification, amounted to 21.7 bln toe (AB1C1+B2C2 category) as of the end of 2025.</p> <p>According to the results of a reserves audit conducted in accordance with the PRMS (Petroleum Resource Management System) international classification, the Company&rsquo;s Category 2P hydrocarbon reserves amounted to 11.5 bln toe. The 2P reserve replacement ratio reached 122%, providing a reserve life of 49 years.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/05/pic_06042026_6.jpg" />Recent geological achievements include the discovery of highly productive reservoirs in Vendian and Cambrian carbonate deposits in Eastern Siberia. The Severo-Danilovskoye and Lisovsky fields have been brought into commercial production, while additional potential has been unlocked at the Srednebotuobinskoye and Verkhnechonskoye fields.</p> <p>The Company is actively pursuing a new exploration programme in the lower Jurassic formations in Western Siberia. Alongside new field discoveries, Rosneft is refining techniques for localizing high-margin reserves within Cretaceous and Jurassic formations.</p> <p>In the Volga-Ural oil and gas province, the application of advanced enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, digitalization of production and monitoring, and the implementation of intelligent well management systems have revitalized brownfield development. Geologists see significant further upside in the region through the exploration and development of Domanic deposits.</p> <p>Since 2020, Rosneft has been conducting a unique stratigraphic drilling project in the Arctic. In under-explored sedimentary basins, 28 shallow stratigraphic wells have been drilled, yielding over 2,000 meters of core samples. For the first time, primary data has been obtained regarding the age of shelf rocks in the northern Kara Sea and the Eastern Arctic. This geological material is being analyzed using the modern laboratory facilities of Lomonosov Moscow State University, in collaboration with experts from leading Russian scientific institutions.</p> <p>To further enhance well productivity, the Company continuously conducts pilot tests to increase horizontal lateral lengths and the frequency and volume of hydraulic fracturing stages. This includes a transition to the &laquo;plug &amp; perf&raquo; completion system, allowing for up to 120 multi-cluster fractures per well. A total of 223 high-tech wells were commissioned, including 12 wells that are unique within the Russian oil industry for their combined technological parameters.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/05/pic_06042026_7.jpg" />As part of its import substitution strategy, Rosneft has deployed domestic systems for reservoir modeling and geosteering, as well as data visualization and engineering calculation suites for drilling. Software for hydrodynamic well testing, petrophysical modeling, and hydrogeological design has also been implemented. Development is currently underway for software focused on seismic data interpretation, digital core analysis, and the modeling of hydrocarbon potential in sedimentary paleobasins.</p> <p>In 2025, 260 of the Company&rsquo;s geologists enhanced their skills through 19 professional training courses. Rosneft also hosted national competitions in well-drilling geological support and case championships in petrophysics, geology, and development.</p> <p>Furthermore, Rosneft&rsquo;s geological experts deliver specialized lectures to undergraduate and graduate students at leading sector-specific universities, transferring accumulated expertise and knowledge to the next generation of the country&rsquo;s oil and gas professionals.</p> <p align="right"><strong>Department of Information and Advertising<br />Rosneft<br />April 6, 2026</strong></p> <p>With Rosneft&rsquo;s support, a ceremony was held in Moscow to present the winner of the &lsquo;Win a Trip to Dorozhnoye Radio Stars in St Petersburg&rsquo; competition with a LADA Granta</p> Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:48:00 +0300 https://www.rosneft.com/press/news/item/224006/ <p>With Rosneft&rsquo;s support, a ceremony was held in Moscow to present the winner of the &lsquo;Win a Trip to Dorozhnoye Radio Stars in St Petersburg&rsquo; competition with a LADA Granta.

The actors, who are representatives of the indigenous peoples of the North, introduce the audience to performances based on the folklore of the Ob Ugrians and works by contemporary authors. <img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/05/pic_27032026_4.jpg" />The Solntse Theatre is a regular participant in national and international festivals, including the Golden Mask, Arlequin and Mayatul.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Torum Maa open-air ethnographic museum of Khanty and Mansi culture has undergone a series of modernisation works. The museum is located within the unique Samarovsky Chugas Nature Park. The Company has helped to establish a visitor centre that is equipped to host a variety of events, including seminars, masterclasses, educational sessions, lectures and theatrical performances based on traditions, national holidays and rituals. <img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/05/pic_27032026_7.jpg" />At the museum, the entrance area has been refurbished, the steep slopes of the hills have been stabilised, and the nature and cultural trails have been upgraded. These changes will broaden the audience for cultural and educational programmes and enable them to be tailored to different visitor groups.</p> <p>The projects carried out have created favourable conditions for preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Khanty and Mansi peoples, while also opening up new creative opportunities for developing theatre in the region.</p> <div style="border-left: #7f7f7f 5px solid; background: #f3f3f3; margin-left: 15px; padding: 16px;"> <p style="border-bottom: #c2c2c2 1px dashed; padding-bottom: 7px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>For reference:</strong></p> <p>Samotlorneftegaz is one of Rosneft's most important production enterprises in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District&mdash;Yugra.

The polar bear is one of the main bioindicator species, the condition of which can be used to assess the state of Arctic ecosystems. Concurrently, the polar bear is accorded a special conservation status, as designated in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.</p> <p>Since 2013, Rosneft has been patronising all polar bears in Russian zoos. To date, the Company has provided support to 37 polar bears in 16 zoos across the country, including housing, feeding, veterinary care, and cage renovation. For instance, the Company sponsored the purchase of an ice-making machine for the Perm Zoo in 2025. The Perm Zoo, under the Company's care, is home to a family of polar bears: the female Milka, the male Seriku, and Parma, a female cub born last year.</p> <table style="margin: 5px 10px; width: 300px; float: left;" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/05/pic_26032026_3.jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align: center; color: #000000; font-size: 10px; background-color: #f3f3f3;">photo of the Perm Zoo</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Since 2014, the Company has been also conducting expeditions to study polar bears in collaboration with leading scientists in our country.
