RN-Nyaganneftegaz Allocates More Than 540 Million Roubles for Environment-Oriented Projects in 2022
RN-Nyaganneftegaz, an enterprise of Rosneft Oil Company’s oil and gas production complex, invested more than 540 million roubles in environment-oriented and restoration measures over 2022. The funds are earmarked for the gas programme, improving pipeline reliability, land reclamation and increasing the efficiency of industrial waste management.
Preservation of the environment for future generations is an integral part of the corporate culture and business operations of Rosneft. The Company aims to achieve leadership positions in minimising the environmental impact and ensuring the eco-friendliness of its production.
RN-Nyaganneftegaz has fully completed the heritage land remediation in 2022, clearing 14 hectares. The enterprise uses modern methods and equipment in the process of land remediation, which help improve the efficiency of work in the natural and climatic conditions of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Ugra. Technical and biological remediation of oil-contaminated heritage land is carried out using modern specialised equipment, sorbents and biodegraders. Furthermore, the enterprise uses various agrotechnical and phytomelioration techniques in order to reintroduce the flora and fauna of the district.
The enterprise also disposed of about 50,000 tonnes of oily waste and about 114,000 tonnes of drilling waste last year. The enterprise fully utilises its drilling waste with the use of modern technologies that passed state environmental expertise. Secondary products obtained in the process of industrial oily waste utilisation are re-involved in the technological process.
At the fields of RN-Nyaganneftegaz, the levels of greenhouse gases are constantly monitored using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAVs spent more than 483 hours in the air in 2022, flying 186 sorties and surveying 11,691 km of pipelines. The use of UAVs ensures continuous environmental monitoring throughout the enterprises’ fields in all weather conditions.
As part of the reforestation programme in 2022, RN-Nyaganneftegaz specialists planted over 1.4 million seedlings of Scots pine on an area of about 365 hectares and released into the Ob-Irtysh basin’s water bodies over 1.6 million fry of valuable fish species.
