At Samaraneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), the drilling meterage in production drilling in 2024 amounted to 216 thousand meters of rock, which is 4% higher than the 2023 figure.
The increase in penetration was achieved by implementing a set of measures to increase productivity in well drilling using new technologies. The actual commercial drilling speed exceeded the standard by almost 13%.
Time costs have been reduced by using technology that has eliminated a number of drilling operations. A significant effect has been achieved by including logging devices in the working assembly, which makes it possible to conduct geophysical surveys simultaneously with the preparation of the wellbore.
The introduction of modern drilling fluids has allowed, depending on the field, to reduce the time of drilling a well to seven days. The solutions have highly effective inhibiting properties that increase the stability of the well walls and eliminate the sticking of the drilling tool.
During the construction of three wells, Samaraneftegaz tested a new Russian automated drilling control system with precise execution of the set parameters. The system’s characteristics allow for a reduction in well construction time due to an increase in the drilling speed by 10%. Vibration and wear of drill string elements are also reduced.
Rosneft prioritizes innovation and defines technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market. The company systematically introduces new technological solutions throughout the entire production chain.
