Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Rosneft backed the first phase of a major scientific study examining valuable fish species in the Yenisei River. The Taimyr Peninsula expedition assembled leading researchers from the Lomonosov Moscow State University Centre for Marine Research, the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Rosneft’s Arctic Research Centre. The research forms part of the Сompany’s Tamura environmental programme.

The Tamura programme, launched in 2024, aims to update information on the status of key animal species in the Far North. Scientists are studying the Kara subpopulation of polar bears, wild reindeer and valuable species of birds and fish in western Taymyr. The programme will run until 2027.

The initial research phase focused on ichthyofauna and included assessments of key fish populations and the ecological conditions within their habitats.  Scientists surveyed more than 600 kilometres of the Yenisei estuary, covering major tributaries including the Bolshaya Kheta, Pelyatka, Dudinka, Tanalau, and Muksunikha.

The team conducted biological analysis aboard the research vessel’s laboratory, examining muksun, Siberian whitefish, Arctic cisco, and vendace. Researchers recorded weight and size measurements whilst studying feeding behaviour.  Research locations were selected following a review of ichthyological and hydrobiological studies published over the past 90 years.

Laboratory analysis of the samples will provide data on age distribution across fish populations in the Yenisei estuary, alongside further insights into feeding patterns. The scientists will also conduct chemical analysis of water and sediment samples collected from fish habitats.

The second stage of the research is planned for 2026. The scientists will focus on assessing the status of fish populations in the region during different periods of their life cycles, including feeding and spawning. The research will also include biological analysis of the most common and valuable fish species in the Yenisei, such as muksun, broad whitefish, and nelma.

Rosneft pays special attention to biodiversity conservation, implementing the most extensive Arctic research programme since Soviet times. Over the past 13 years, more than 60 expeditions have been carried out to study the hydrometeorological, geological and biological features of the region. This has resulted in a unique collection of information on the climate, nature and wildlife of the Arctic. It has been the source of a unique body of information on Arctic climate, nature and wildlife.

Bashneft Increases Oil Transportation Efficiency

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Bashneft (Rosneft subsidiary) has begun the trial commercial operation of a pipeline made from composite materials instead of conventional steel. The first pipeline at the Munir Gallyamov field is 10 kilometres long. It has significantly increased the efficiency of oil transportation and improved environmental and industrial safety.

The composite pipeline is the first step in creating a large-scale production infrastructure using innovative developments in Bashkortostan’s new oil-bearing area. The pipeline at the Munir Gallyamov field was installed using the make-up of pipes method. Compared to conventional steel pipe welding, installation speed is increased by five times.

The composite pipeline is non-corrosive, it does not require electrochemical protection, anti-corrosion inhibitors or cleaning. This pipe has a warranted lifespan of up to 50 years, which is three times longer. The composite oil pipeline’s smooth inner surface significantly reduces hydraulic losses during oil pumping. It also eliminates deposits on the pipe walls, which reduce the throughput capacity of steel pipelines over time.

The transition to pipes made from innovative materials will significantly accelerate the construction of new oil pipelines and the exploration of reserves. The project was initiated by specialists from Bashneft-Dobycha, the operator of Bashneft for the development of hydrocarbon fields.

One of Rosneft’s key strategic priorities is to introduce innovations and maximise its technological potential. The Company aims to improve production efficiency by making use of advanced domestic developments and technical solutions.

For reference:

Bashneft is one of the oldest oil and gas enterprises in the country engaged in oil extraction and processing. Its main production facilities are located in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Hydrocarbons exploration and production are also carried out in Khanty-Mansi and Nenets Autonomous Districts, the Orenburg Region and the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Maksim Liksutov announced that an acoustic cabin has been installed at the Komsomolskaya transfer hub, which connects metro stations, the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), and major train stations. A second one has been installed at the Nizhegorodskaya transport hub. The booths are free to use until the end of the year.

Acoustic cabins have been installed in the Moscow Metro.

The acoustic booths are designed for one person and feature: 1) USB and Type-C ports for charging devices; 2) a workstation; 3) adaptive lighting; 4) ventilation, which ensures a constant supply of fresh air.

Acoustic cabins have been installed in the Moscow Metro.

The sound-absorbing materials in the acoustic booths have already passed all tests. The door is made of translucent glass, preventing visibility into the user’s device.

Cabins can be rented in two ways: by pre-booking a desired time slot in the mobile app of the new acoustic booth rental service or by using time slots starting from 15 minutes on-site. To do this, scan the QR code on the cabin door or posters.

“In today’s world, people work from anywhere, not just in offices, and it’s important for us to follow this trend. That’s why we’re starting to test acoustic cabins in the metro. If needed, you can work or make phone calls in silence. We’re choosing cabin locations that will be popular but won’t disturb passengers. If these quiet spaces prove popular, we’ll introduce them at other stations. We’re continuing to launch new convenient services on public transport, as instructed by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin,” said Maksim Liksutov.

Moscow Metro – A unique park will appear in Moscow in 2027 on the site of an outdated monorail

Source: Moscow Metro

According to the project, this will be Russia’s first year-round promenade park at a height of 6 meters. The plan is to create a modern, comfortable space for sports, family recreation, and gatherings with friends. A four-kilometer running track with circulation in both directions will run along the park.

A unique park will appear in Moscow in 2027 on the site of an outdated monorail.

The area will connect five districts—Ostankino, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky — home to over 300,000 people. This new pedestrian thoroughfare will connect VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route and, of course, offer stunning views of our beloved Moscow.

Five of the six monorail stations will be reconstructed into two-story pavilions. Two dismantled monorail trains will also be located in the park.

The Moscow Monorail was built over 20 years ago. In recent years, it operated in excursion mode, having effectively lost its transport function after the opening of the Moscow Central Circle, the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line, and the development of ground-based urban transport.
