Specialists from the Company’s Moscow scientific institute, in collaboration with the Geophysical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, have created a geomagnetic model* that allows for high-precision control of the well trajectory during drilling.
The use of innovative development is especially relevant in areas with an abnormal geomagnetic field, where accumulations of rocks distort the Earth’s magnetic field. Without taking into account the distortions, it is impossible to correctly determine the position of the borehole for drilling.
The model created by scientists allows obtaining geomagnetic data with a detail of 38 km. This is one of the highest resolutions in the world.
The reliability of the forecast is confirmed by the results of actual instrumental observations at the Priobskoye and Prirazlomnoye fields of Rosneft in Western Siberia. In addition, the criteria for applicability in various territories have been clarified.
Development of knowledge-intensive potential is one of the key elements of the Rosneft-2030 strategy. The company prioritizes innovation activities, defining technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.
*The geomagnetic model is a mathematical description of the Earth’s magnetic field
