Samaraneftegaz (part of the Rosneft oil production complex) increased its industrial grade oil reserves by 19 million tons by the end of 2024, which made it possible to replenish oil production by 1.8 times.

Such indicators were achieved due to the successful application of new engineering and technological solutions in geological exploration. At the fields developed for a long time, 12 new deposits were discovered with an increase in reserves in the categories АВ1С1 В2С2 in the amount of 2.3 million tons.

In 2024, Samaraneftegaz geologists built five exploration wells, during testing of which industrial oil flows with flow rates of up to 80 m3/day were obtained.

Work on reprocessing and reinterpretation of seismic exploration data was carried out at the Zimarny, Nikolsko-Spiridonovskiy, Festivalny, Novo-Krutyakovskiy and Teleginskiy license areas. Based on their results, a detailed geological model was obtained, which allows specifying the drilling points of exploration and appraisal wells, reducing geological risks when drilling deep wells in the study area.

Currently, Samaraneftegaz is working on 132 fields. Their development is carried out using, among other things, horizontal and directional wells, which allow increasing flow rates and oil recovery factors.

Replenishment of reserves and their consistent introduction into development is one of the key elements of Rosneft’s strategy. Samaraneftegaz is conducting targeted work to increase the mineral resource base. One of the areas is revaluation of reserves taking into account the introduction of new technologies, clarification of the geological structure of deposits, additional exploration of poorly studied areas and development of methods for commissioning new deposits.

Samaraneftegaz participates in auctions for the right to use subsoil. The work done has allowed the company to increase its reserves by 119 million tons of oil over the past five years.

Reference:

JSC Samaraneftegaz, a subsidiary of NK Rosneft, carries out production activities in the Samara and Orenburg regions. Cumulative production since the beginning of development in 1936 exceeds 1.3 billion tons of oil and more than 87 billion m3 of gas.
