RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of the oil and gas production complex of NK Rosneft) produced the 100-millionth ton of oil at the Eastern Hub*. This largest field provides more than 50% of the oil production of the Uvat project.
The hub’s production stock includes 1,026 wells producing about 11,000 tons of oil per day. Since the start of the hub’s fields’ operation, the drilling meterage in production drilling has amounted to 3.5 million meters of rock. Currently, the construction of high-tech, mainly horizontal wells using hydraulic fracturing operations (HF) continues. In the construction of wells, modern technologies are used that allow up to 10 HF stages to be carried out, as well as biopolymer drilling mud.
The first fields in this area – Malyka and Urnenskoye – were put into operation in 2009, and geological exploration work continues here, which has allowed the Eastern Hub to increase its recoverable reserves.
High production indicators are ensured by the developed infrastructure of the field. Over the 15 years since the beginning of the development of the territory in a hard-to-reach area, key oil and gas production facilities have been built, which allow new fields to be put into operation at an accelerated pace. The central collection point prepares the extracted raw materials, external oil transportation is provided by a main oil pipeline with a length of more than 260 km. More than 210 km of roads have been built at the hub fields, 560 km of power transmission lines have been installed. A gas turbine power plant with a capacity of 83 MW supplies energy to the main production facilities, using associated petroleum gas as fuel.
More than 2 thousand employees of the enterprise and contractors work at the oil field. RN-Uvatneftegaz creates conditions for their comfortable living, including at autonomous fields. A residential complex for 290 people, a gym, and a medical center have been built here. The construction of the third stage of the residential complex is in its final stage, which will increase its capacity by another 90 people.
The company’s work in the social sphere has been repeatedly recognized with awards at the “Russian Organization of High Social Efficiency” competition.
*For the efficient development of deposits in hard-to-reach marshy terrain, the Uvat project uses a strategy of hubs – centers with a single infrastructure, to which smaller satellite deposits are gradually added. Currently, there are four hubs operating in Uvat: Vostochny, Protozanovsky, Tyamkinsky and Kalchinsky, the infrastructure of which is constantly expanding.
