The final of the annual LADA Sport ROSNEFT eChampionship cyber racing championship was hosted in Moscow with sponsorship from Rosneft. The final races were broadcast live on the official social media communities of the racing team.

Rosneft actively supports the development of both amateur and professional sports. Since 2015, the Company has been the general sponsor of the LADA Sport ROSNEFT racing team.

The cyber racing championship began in September 2025, featuring five online stages in which drivers from across the country competed. In order to participate, it was necessary to install a special software programme on your computer. The ten strongest cyber sportsmen reached the finals following the results of the selection.

For the first time, the finals were held in the Race of Champions format on professional racing simulators. Following the qualifying races, the competitors were divided into groups for elimination doubles, with the winner being determined from these groups.

Kirill Antonov from Tver won the final, confirming his status as the strongest for the second year running. The main prize of the tournament — the opportunity to compete in the Russian Ring Racing Series (RRRS) in the colours of LADA Sport ROSNEFT in the 2026 season — was awarded to Ivan Chekhov from Voronezh, who took silver. This is due to the cyberchampionship rules, which restrict the previous year’s winner from re-entering the real RRRS races. Kirill Antonov, winner of the previous season, has already made a successful debut at one of the 2025 RRRS stages, finishing his first race one step away from the podium.

In the 2025 season, LADA Sport ROSNEFT secured their fourth consecutive victory as the country’s top racing team, with Leonid Panfilov winning the championship title in the Super Production class. The LADA Sport ROSNEFT Junior karting team and its pilot Yaroslav Shevyrtalov became champions in their categories.

Specialists from Rosneft’s Arctic Research Centre and scientists from the country’s leading research institutions summed up the results of a large-scale ecological project in the White Sea. The project was implemented jointly with the non-governmental development institute Innopraktika, with participation from Moscow State University’s Marine Research Centre, Moscow State University’s Faculty of Biology, St Petersburg State University, the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Biotechnology Campus Centre for Whole Genome Sequencing.

The research, which began in 2023, comprised two field seasons aboard the research vessels Kartesh and Professor Zenkevich, as well as unique laboratory work. Project participants retraced the route of expeditions conducted between 1922 and 1926 by the prominent Soviet hydrobiologist Konstantin Deryugin, who provided detailed descriptions of the White Sea’s flora and fauna.

Rosneft’s project aims to analyse century-long changes in the region’s marine ecosystems using both Deryugin’s methods and modern technologies, whilst assessing the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on Arctic ecology.  This information is essential for long-term planning of sustainable development in Russia’s north.

At a press briefing, scientists shared preliminary findings. Specialists concluded that the White Sea ecosystem remains stable,  allowing the region to serve as a reference point for comparison with other Arctic territories.

However, the research revealed insufficient understanding of Arctic marine fauna: up to 30 per cent of species retain uncertain taxonomic status, indicating considerable work remains in revising the fauna of Arctic seas.  Nevertheless, specialists succeeded in describing species new to science.

Scientists employed both traditional hydrobiology equipment and cutting-edge instruments and innovative technologies. They surveyed the White Sea floor using remotely operated unmanned underwater vehicles and conducted molecular genetic analysis of discovered organisms.  For this work, they deployed the world’s only DNA sequencer located beyond the Arctic Circle.

Rosneft held corporate competitions in badminton and table tennis. The second Rosneft Racket tournament took place yesterday at the Zenit sports complex in Krasnogorsk. The competition brought together athletes from the Company’s 33 subsidiaries from across the country.

Promoting a healthy lifestyle is a key component of Rosneft’s social policy. The Company is developing the Energy of Life sports and fitness movement, which involves employees in regular sports and various competitions.

During the two-day tournament, participants competed in individual and team (consisting of one woman and one man) events.

The RN Moscow team won the mixed doubles category in big tennis, and an RN-Yuganskneftegaz employee won the individual tournament. The Company’s Central Administration Office representatives took the lead in badminton, while RN-Uvatneftegaz took the lead in table tennis. After two days of competition, the RN-Yuganskneftegaz team was top of the team standings.

Congratulations to the winners and participants of the Rosneft Racket corporate competition!

Rosneft has partnered with the Russian Traveler Awards 2025 to establish a new category, “Auto-Tourism: Russian Horizons.” Award ceremony for winners and runners-up held in Moscow.

Russian Horizons” category was specifically tailored for independent travelers who chart their routes through Rosneft’s filling station network.

Rosneft is actively promoting the development of domestic tourism and is building its “Russian Horizons: Come with us”, a digital platform offering ready-made routes and the ability to design your own trips based on Rosneft’s road infrastructure. Since 2023, the Company, in collaboration with its partners, has already introduced over 50 routes spanning 24 regions of the country.

Following a public vote, the winner of the Rosneft category was the “From Central Russia to the Heart of Parma” route. The journey takes travelers from the Tambov region to the Perm region, visiting the locations that served as the natural film sets for the feature film The Heart of Parma.

Spanning a total distance of 4,400 km, the route passes through Ulyanovsk, Solikamsk, Perm, and Izhevsk, encompassing dozens of local attractions and natural, historical, and architectural monuments. Rosneft presented a special prize for this unique itinerary to the family of Sergey Forofontov, a first responder from Tambov.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Russian Traveler Awards have recognized the country’s leading achievements in tourism. The awards aim to highlight Russia’s most compelling offerings, from iconic landmarks and unique travel routes to authentic traditions and vibrant festivals. The initiative helps redefine the Russian tourism map and encourages the discovery of new destinations.

RN-Vankor, part of Rosneft’s oil and gas production complex, has commissioned a 110/35/10 kV Tagul substation with a capacity of 2х63 MVA. The facility will ensure reliable power supply to sites at the Tagulskoye field, which is part part of the Vankor cluster.

Power is supplied to Tagul from the 150 MW Polyarnaya gas turbine power station at the Vankor field. A 110 kV transmission line spanning more than 70 km has been built to connect the power station with the Tagul substation.

Construction of the substation was accelerated through the installation of prefabricated structures.  The building contains power transformers, enclosed switchgear for 35 kV and 10 kV, and is equipped with a control centre.

The domestic engineering solutions applied at the Tagul substation have been proven by the successful operation of the Vankor energy complex in Far North conditions. The switchgear design remains operational even if individual components fail, enhancing overall reliability of power supply to the field’s oil production facilities.

Tagul is the eighth 110 kV substation at the Vankor cluster fields. Two further similar substations are in the final stages of installation. The total length of overhead power transmission lines already exceeds 1,900 km.  The largest substation, Vankor, with a capacity of 250 MVA, connects the Vankor energy district to the country’s Unified Energy System.
