On September 17, during the Tyumen Industrial and Energy Forum (TNF 2024), the Oil and Gas Cluster Association and Gazprom Nedra LLC signed a Roadmap.

The interregional oil and gas cluster was established in 2022 with the support of the Government of the Tyumen Region and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, its objective being to phase in new technologies into the oil and gas sector. The organisation unites companies involved in the oil and gas industry from across the Russian Federation in a bid to resolve the technological objectives faced by the organisation’s members.
The roadmap was signed to facilitate communication between the member organisations of the Oil and Gas Cluster and to address the pressing technological challenges faced by Gazprom Nedra LLC.
Signing the Roadmap represents the next step after joining the Oil and Gas Cluster
“We are pleased to strengthen our cooperation with the Oil and Gas Cluster of the Tyumen Region and establish a new level of interaction with its participants — companies that make products for the oil and gas sector and other service companies — and to benefit from the opportunity to address current technological challenges together. Industry-wide, we are confronted with a urgent common task, namely that of transitioning to domestically-produced technologies and equipment. Our company is actively working towards that,” said Zhorzhas Novikas.

In 2024, during a seismic survey in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Gazprom Nedra LLC successfully conducted large-scale pilot tests of a domestically-produced wireless seismic recording system.
Following offshore pilot tests in the Sea of Okhotsk, the company has been successfully using unique, domestically-produced “Crab” seafloor stations to conduct 4D seismic survey.
This year, Gazprom Nedra LLC patented a pilot drilling method for the construction of offshore exploration wells.
The company is actively working on the digitalization and automation of its workflows, having developed proprietary software for geophysical operations.
