Rosneft creates digital technologies for core studies

Under the Saint-Petersburg International Economic Forum, Rosneft Oil Company and ‘Innopraktika’ non-state development institute have signed an Agreement on continuation of developing the digital technologies of core studies. This Agreement stipulates the expansion of the unique ‘RN-Digital Core’ software complex.

The ‘RN-Digital Core’ software was created by the experts from the ‘Tyumen Petroleum Scientific Center’ (part of Rosneft’s science and projects block) jointly with the ‘Innopraktika’ company specialists. This software is unique and has no analogues in Russia and around the globe. Mathematical modeling of core properties provides for the acquisition of data for predicting the hydrocarbons content in a bed, building its hydrodynamic model and selecting the most efficient development methods for enhanced oil recovery.

The updated version of the ‘RN-Digital Core’ software will make it possible to simultaneously model the flows of oil, gas and water in the cores and directly calculate one of the most important rock properties – permeability of the three-phase system. Such results are practically impossible to achieve during physical experiments with the cores.

Rosneft is the first company in Russia, which successfully creates the science-intensive software, covering all the key processes in the area of oil and gas production. The company’s IT-solutions are applied for resolving the production-related challenges in the area of geology, engineering, development and operation of fields. These solutions exceed foreign analogues in terms of speed, tackled challenges, application of up-to-date algorithms and user-friendly interface.
