The Gazprom Neft company has received licenses to create technological test sites for working with hard-to-recover reserves (TRIZ). Among the new sites are the Verkhnesalymsky and Kholmogorsky sites in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, as well as the Yamburg test site in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
At these sites, specialists will test equipment and technologies covering the entire production cycle – from geological exploration and drilling to hydraulic fracturing (fracturing) and digital modeling. In 2021, Gazprom Neft was the first in Russia to launch the production of domestic hydraulic fracturing units, and is now expanding the infrastructure to implement new solutions.
Another important task is the use of Russian developments: reagents, software and mathematical models that will increase the efficiency of extraction of complex reserves.
The creation of a network of testing sites is not only a technological breakthrough for the company, but also a contribution to the development of the entire oil production industry. Such sites become centers of industry dialogue, where innovations for working in different geological and climatic conditions are tested and implemented.
According to Gazprom Neft representatives, the development of technologies for extracting difficult oil is consistent with Russia’s energy strategy until 2050 and strengthens the country’s technological sovereignty.
