New pressure regulation system from Rosneft subsidiary
13.05.2025
Employees of the company "RN-Purneftegaz" (a structural division of Rosneft Corporation) have completed the implementation of a Russian innovative development for local pressure control in injection wells. The economic effect of using this technological solution reaches 12 million rubles annually for each well. The developed system is a significant breakthrough in the domestic oil and gas service. It ensures precise control of water injection volumes to maintain the required pressure in the formations. This significantly simplifies the process of well operation. Engineers have created a unit based on standard equipment used in oil production. It is placed directly on the surface of the well pad, which makes it possible to service several wells simultaneously. Previously used submersible equipment required costly major repairs for both installation and maintenance. The implementation of this advanced technology in the oil and gas service sector significantly reduces electricity consumption – by 1.2 million kilowatt-hours per year per well. An additional advantage is the ability to conduct hydrodynamic studies without interrupting the water injection process.
The RN-Purneftegaz team is actively distributing this innovative method to other fields owned by Rosneft. This approach in oil and gas services increases the profitability of field development and reduces operating costs.
Modern oil and gas services constantly require the introduction of new technological solutions. Russian developments make it possible to reduce the industry's dependence on imported equipment. The use of domestic innovations in oil and gas services contributes to the sustainable development of the entire oil and gas industry.
The company continues to invest in the development of oil and gas services and the digitalization of production processes. The new installation is a striking example of the digital transformation of oil and gas services. It is equipped with sensors that transmit data in real time.This allows operators to quickly respond to changes in well performance.
Russian oil and gas service receives a significant boost thanks to such developments. They increase the competitiveness of domestic companies in the global market. The introduction of innovative technologies in oil and gas service helps to increase the oil recovery factor at existing fields.
The RN-Purneftegaz company plans to further improve the system and expand the scope of its application in oil and gas service. This will significantly increase the efficiency of production at mature fields, where a special approach to maintaining reservoir pressure is required.
