RN-Yuganskneftegaz, Rosneft’s largest oil producing asset, drilled 7 million meters of rock in 2024, or 23% of all production drilling in the Russian oil industry. The company’s fields have 1,612 oil wells, including more than 1,000 horizontal ones.
Last year, RN-Yuganskneftegaz updated its production records. In June, the penetration rate in production drilling amounted to 678 thousand meters per month, in August, the daily penetration rate reached 30 thousand meters of rock.
The company’s fields have begun to replicate the technology of horizontal well casing with casing string running with shank rotation. The method ensures uniform distribution of cement and improves the quality of its adhesion to the rock. During production drilling and sidetracking (SBC), the TAML multi-well injection system of the 4th complexity level has been successfully tested. An automatic drilling control system has been introduced to control and optimize the production process.
687 oil wells were reconstructed using the sidetracking method. Of the 766 wells, oil production began after the sidetracking. As a result of using the technology, an additional 1.7 million tons were obtained in 2024. The number of wells put into production after the sidetracking increased by 23% compared to the previous year.
There are 136 production drilling rigs and 84 sidetracking rigs operating at RN-Yuganskneftegaz fields. Most of the drilling capacity is provided by the in-house oil service RN-Drilling.
Development of technological potential is one of the key elements of the Rosneft-2030 strategy. The introduction of new technological solutions allows increasing the geological potential of wells and conducting cost-effective production of complex hydrocarbon reserves.
Reference:
RN-Yuganskneftegaz is a key asset of Rosneft Oil Company, accounting for approximately 30% of the Company’s total production. The company carries out geological exploration and development of fields in 40 license areas with a total area of over 21 thousand square kilometers in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. The company’s cumulative production since the start of its operations exceeds 2.7 billion tons of oil.
TAML – technology for drilling and completing multilateral wells. Level 4 involves casing and cementing the main and side bores.
