Orenburgneft (part of the Rosneft oil production complex) allocated more than 3 billion rubles for environmental protection activities in 2024, which is almost 13% more than the previous year. The funds were used to implement the gas investment program, improve the reliability of pipelines, reclaim land, improve the efficiency of industrial waste disposal, resource conservation, reforestation and maintain the biodiversity of water resources.
As part of the target gas program, in 2024 the main process equipment was installed at the gas compressor station of the Donetsk-Syrtovskoye field, and the construction of gas pipelines of the Eastern group of fields is being completed. These measures will allow additional volumes of associated petroleum gas to be sent to the Buzuluk gas processing plant, where the gas is prepared to commercial quality and a wide fraction of hydrocarbons is separated from it – a valuable raw material for the petrochemical industry.
Investments in the implementation of the pipeline reliability improvement program ensured the planned replacement of pipeline sections, repair and inhibition of pipes. Stable operation of the field infrastructure is ensured, among other things, by diagnostics using modern devices.
The company is implementing resource-saving technologies. Last year, Orenburgneft reduced energy consumption by 6.8 million tons of equivalent fuel, which contributed to improving the environmental performance of production. Key initiatives included optimizing the operation of pumping equipment in reservoir pressure maintenance systems, upgrading downhole submersible equipment in oil production, and reengineering ground infrastructure.
The enterprise provides environmental monitoring of natural components. Regular sampling of atmospheric air, water, and soil is carried out in the territories where production activities are carried out. Methane emissions are monitored using advanced technical means.
Orenburgneft uses modern technologies for recycling industrial waste. The resulting secondary products are re-involved in industrial use. The company’s volunteers contribute to preserving the environment. For several years, employees have been organizing the collection of used plastic and waste paper. Schoolchildren from the region participate in environmental campaigns of oil workers. In 2024, more than 12 tons of secondary raw materials were sent for recycling through joint efforts.
Employees carry out volunteer campaigns to clean up the territories of the cities where they are present and the coastal zones of water bodies, and organize clean-up days. Over the past three years, oil workers have planted about 3 thousand young pines, firs, lindens, and birches. Together with activists from the “Movement of the First,” oil workers cleaned up the territory of the Dendrosad in the Buzuluksky Bor National Park. Earlier, with the support of the company’s employees, a tourist trail was laid in the reserve, which is integrated into the network of ecological trails of the National Park.
The company’s environmental performance has been repeatedly noted at various levels. In the regional competition “Leader of Economy”, “Orenburgneft” has been recognized as the winner in the nomination “Leader of Environmental Responsibility” for over 10 years.
