Bashneft (Rosneft subsidiary) has opened a new laboratory at the Department of Geophysical Research Methods at the Mining and Oil Faculty of the Ufa State Petroleum Technical University (USPTU). As part of the ceremony, Bashneft and the University signed an agreement to establish a Bashneft-Geophysics department, which will educate geologists, petrophysicists and other specialists for Bashneft-PETROTEST.

Future geophysical engineers study at the Department of Analysis and Interpretation of Geophysical Well Logging Data, where they learn how to use specialised equipment. The new laboratory’s equipment provides the opportunity to conduct practical training in all areas of commercial well geophysics.

The laboratory is fully equipped with Russian hardware, data recording systems and downhole geophysical instruments. The hardware includes a computer-controlled geophysical information system for logging data, called the «Logging Laboratory GIS». The system is designed to record, display in real time, and store logging data. The laboratory is also equipped with recorders that convert the signals emitted by the well and surface devices during the logging process into a digital format. The recorder was designed by a company based in Ufa, using components that correspond to the latest advances in electronics. The product is based on a modern multi-core microprocessor, which significantly increases computing resources and takes signal processing to a whole new level. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained.

For 25 years, Rosneft and USPTU have been cooperating in the areas of training qualified personnel and conducting scientific and innovation activities. The USPTU is one of Russia’s leading technical universities and is recognised as a regional base university.

With the Company’s support, the Rosneft-USPTU Scientific and Educational Centre was established at the University’s Mining and Oil Faculty. The University has 11 core and graduating departments that implement educational programmes in the interests of Rosneft’s enterprises.

As part of the RN-Predix Saturn information system, Rosneft specialists have developed an innovative oil production management model.

The software prototype’s primary function is the collection of operational data on wells, pipelines, and oil, gas, and water treatment facilities. The model operates in near real time and automatically performs multi-variant calculations and determines the optimal operating parameters for the entire production chain.

Compared to similar models, including foreign ones, the main advantages of this model are its ability to work with daily data and forecast the technological regime one month ahead. This enables changes in the volume of oil produced to be estimated.

The software’s high productivity is not due to its unique program code, but rather to a fundamentally new approach to modelling. The application product treats the field as a single entity rather than a set of separate elements. This enables optimal solutions to be found for the entire system, rather than just its individual parts.

The product has been tested on production wells at the Oryebash field. The integrated model was applied to 12 wells, thus increasing daily oil production by 10%.

The model is planned to be replicated at other Company’s fields in 2026-2027.

Rosneft sponsored an educational tour of the City of Professions at the KidZania children’s park for children who attend Moscow family support centres. Eighty children, aged between 4 and 17, took part in the tour.

During the tour, the schoolchildren visited several exhibitions, each of which provided an opportunity to learn about different professions.

At the Rosneft exhibition, the children explored three locations: the oil production section, the oil refinery and the filling station. The Company’s volunteers and centre instructors explained how the oil equipment worked. The children then had the chance to extract crude oil and send it for refining and to the laboratory for quality testing.

The schoolchildren also learned about the stages of oil refining before it is turned into petrol, diesel fuel and other petroleum-based products. The children observed the process of transferring fuel from a tanker truck to the pumps and learned how the quality of the fuel is checked upon arrival.

The educational tour for children from Moscow family support centres to the City of Professions is part of the Platform of Good Deeds corporate volunteer programme and the Let’s Be Friends! social project, which is run by the Moscow Department of Labour and Social Protection.

An immersive exhibition by Russian People’s Artist Nikas Safronov will be opened in India’s capital city of New Delhi with the support of Rosneft. The exhibition entitled Dream Vision will be open to visitors at the Lalit Kala Akademi National Academy of Arts from 7 to 21 December.

The exhibition features 100 of the artist’s finest works, including a series of paintings created specifically for the Indian public. Safronov’s new paintings depict picturesque architectural scenes from Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as the Taj Mahal and other iconic Indian landmarks. The works are displayed across eight halls on two floors of the Academy of Arts, occupying a total exhibition area of approximately 1,300 square metres.

The exhibition combines classical painting and modern multimedia technologies. At the entrance, guests are greeted by decorative elephant sculptures, which have been hand-painted using Russian folk techniques. Guests enter the halls via a multimedia corridor where they are accompanied by their own colour trail, which merges into the overall colour flow. Visitors will also see more than 400 metres of LED screens featuring augmented reality effects and artificial intelligence, providing an immersive experience throughout the exhibition route.

The exhibition space features decorative elements incorporating robotics and animatronics. Guests can see huge flowers come to life and then reflected in floor mirrors. Avatars from the past and future are created and, on the screen, a giant elephant strides from summer to winter, from a warm evening in Varanasi to the snow-covered walls of the Moscow Kremlin. Each hall also has its own unique sound and aroma design.

The exhibition is named Dream Vision after Nikas Safronov’s signature style of the same name, which was used in a number of the paintings presented in India. This unique, patented technique enables the artist to create multi-layered paintings that blur the boundaries between reality and artistic fiction.

From December 25 to January 15, an exhibition of Nikas Safronov’s works will also be held in Mumbai, India.

Rosneft supports major cultural projects in Russia and abroad, actively developing cultural ties between Russia and India. With Rosneft’s support, the Festival of India was held on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow this summer. The festival featured Indian handicrafts and national delicacies, and famous Indian dance and music groups performed for guests. In October 2024, the Indian city of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat hosted the highly successful premiere of the Rosneft-supported ice show by Olympic champion Tatiana Navka – The Love Story of Scheherazade, featuring world-famous figure skaters.
