In 2024, Samotlorneftegaz (part of the Rosneft oil production complex) allocated 11.2 billion rubles to implement environmental protection and environmental restoration measures, which is more than 30% higher than the previous period.
Preserving the environment for future generations is an integral part of Rosneft’s corporate culture. The company aims to achieve leadership positions in minimizing environmental impact and environmentally friendly production and implements a number of comprehensive programs to maintain biological balance in the regions where it operates.
Samotlorneftegaz’s “green” investments are aimed at programs to improve the reliability of pipelines and reclaim historical heritage lands, recycle industrial waste, and support the biological diversity of Siberian rivers and green areas.
The company maintains an average level of rational use of associated petroleum gas at 98%. This is one of the highest indicators in the Russian oil and gas industry. The company also applies and develops best practices for monitoring methane emission sources.
An important area of work is to improve the reliability of pipelines. Last year, Samotlorneftegaz commissioned more than 232 km of oil field networks after reconstruction. Stable operation of the field infrastructure is ensured, among other things, by effective diagnostics and the use of modern methods of protecting pipelines from corrosion.
Ecologists of Samotlor have completed large-scale work to restore the biological productivity of the “historical heritage” lands. During the project implementation, 2.2 thousand hectares of soil disturbed during the Soviet period of field development were reclaimed. Technical and biological stages of reclamation were carried out year-round due to the wide use of winter reclamation and phytomelioration technologies. Most of the activities were carried out by the company’s own eco-service using specialized equipment for work in areas with high swampiness.
Thanks to the environmental campaigns of Samotlorneftegaz in Yugra over the past year, more than 2 million young valuable fish species have been released into rivers, and 390 thousand pine seedlings have been planted on an area of 107 hectares.
Along with improving production technologies, the company’s employees demonstrate a commitment to environmental values and organize large-scale clean-up days, collect and hand in waste paper and plastic, green urban spaces, and participate in all-Russian environmental campaigns.
