Rosneft’s leading design and engineering centre in Tomsk is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Thanks to their unique expertise, the scientists at the corporate institute have become pioneers in information modelling and 3D design technologies within the industry.
In 2025, engineers in Tomsk developed more than 30 projects using information modelling tools. A digital model of the country’s largest oil pumping station, covering an area of 100 hectares, created using domestic software, was among the winners of the national Information Modelling Leaders competition.
The enterprise has over 80 state-registered digital products, many of which are being implemented throughout Rosneft’s production chain. One of its key developments is GIS-RN, the first corporate software for consolidating geospatial information, which has been recognised as the best digital solution for the oil and gas industry.
Since 1997, the Tomsk Institute has developed a scientific and analytical centre for researching core samples, formation fluids, process fluids and chemical agents. Today, it comprises a complex of core storage facilities equipped with over 600 pieces of unique laboratory machinery. This includes meso- and microtomographs developed using in-house technologies.
Over the past four decades, the institute’s employees have implemented hundreds of projects related to the development of deposits and the construction of production infrastructure, main oil pipelines and modernised oil refineries and other facilities in Russia’s largest oil and gas provinces. They have also created unique design solutions for infrastructure construction in the harsh climatic conditions of Yakutia, Eastern Siberia, Kamchatka and the Far East.
The Tomsk Institute is a reliable social partner in the region. Its work in the field of human resources policy has been recognised with multiple awards from federal ministries and agencies. In 2025, the institute won first place in the nationwide Best Practices in Youth Employment competition. This victory was achieved in the ‘PRO Mentor: effective practices for the development of young professionals’ category.
Thanks to its collaboration with leading universities and research centres, the Tomsk Institute of Rosneft not only develops scientific potential, but also contributes to the training of highly qualified specialists by supporting educational initiatives. Through its IT courses, which are based on a proprietary training programme, the institute’s experts have taught six groups of students from Tomsk universities the skills required to become server developers, IT analysts, and specialists in the creation of automated design systems. In collaboration with Tomsk Polytechnic University, the institute trains specialist personnel for the oil and gas industry, and it is also a key partner of the Digital Modelling Centre at Tomsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
