A and the Mozyr Oil Refinery in Belarus, as well as the Lisichansky Oil Refinery in Ukraine), and the sales network covers 56 regions of Russia.

Resource base

According to the results of an audit conducted by DeGolyer & MacNaughton according to the SEC classification, which provides for an assessment until the end of the period of profitable development of fields, as of December 31, 2013, the proven hydrocarbon reserves of Rosneft amounted to 33,014 million barrels. AD Including liquid hydrocarbon reserves (oil, condensate, wide fraction of light hydrocarbons - NGLs) amounted to 25,191 million barrels. (3,398 million tons), gas reserves - 46,941 billion cubic meters. ft (1,329 billion cubic meters).

DeGolyer & MacNaughton also audited Rosneft reserves according to the PRMS classification. Proven reserves (1P) of hydrocarbons as of December 31, 2013 amounted to 41,771 million barrels. B.E., including 30,782 million barrels. (4,161 million tons) of liquid hydrocarbons (oil, condensate, NGL) and 65,937 billion cubic meters. feet (1,867 billion cubic meters) of gas.

At the end of the year, Rosneft OJSC had proven hydrocarbon reserves for 24 years, including 20 years for oil and 50 years for gas. The majority of the reserves are classified as traditional, which makes it possible to effectively increase production.

The volume of proven reserves is largely based on the results of development of existing fields, taking into account their geological and technological potential. At the same time, the Company is actively preparing new large deposits Eastern and Western Siberia, including Suzunskoye, Tagulskoye, Lodochnoye, Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye, Russkoye, Kynsko-Chaselsky group. Also, the introduction of new technologies, in particular drilling wells with long horizontal trunks using multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, will make it possible in the medium term to bring into development a significant amount of oil reserves, including hard-to-recover ones (shale oil). Thus, the potential of probable reserves, which amount to more than 70% of proven hydrocarbon reserves, will be confidently involved in development.

As of December 31, 2013, the average estimate of the Company's prospective recoverable hydrocarbon resources was 339 billion barrels. AD (46 billion toe), which is almost 70% higher than the level at the end of 2012. The increase in resources is associated with geological exploration work in the Company’s areas in the Kara Sea, Laptev Sea, Black Sea, as well as with the receipt in 2013 of licenses for new shelf areas in the Barents, Pechora, Kara, East Siberian, Chukchi Seas and the Laptev Sea.

Geological exploration

OJSC NK Rosneft has the largest hydrocarbon resource base on land and the continental shelf. The strategic priority of the Company’s activities is the systematic replacement of over 100% of production with new reserves and improvement of the quality of reserves.

Rosneft is systematically increasing investments in geological exploration. In 2013, investments in the Company's geological exploration work (in share) amounted to RUB 83 billion. (21% of work is on the shelf, 19% in Eastern Siberia). This made it possible to complete 35 thousand linear km of 2D seismic exploration (92% of the work is on the shelf, 2% in Eastern Siberia), 12 thousand sq. km of 3D seismic exploration (21% of the work is on the shelf, 16% in Eastern Siberia), drill and complete testing of 90 prospecting exploration wells (13% are in Eastern Siberia). As a result of the complex of geological exploration work, 6 fields and 70 new deposits were discovered.

Key words:oil and gas service, types of oil and gas service, business models, efficiency of service in energy industry, tendencies of the service market in Russia .

Concept « oil and gas complex"(OGC), along with oil refining and other components, includes two most important ones: oil, gas production and oil and gas services. Both components are integral elements of a single technological cycle of the oil and gas industry. The problem is that the vast majority of oil and gas producing countries in the world do not have the necessary intellectual, technological and industrial potential to properly provide national production with their own high-tech services. Only three countries in the world have such potential: the USA, Russia and China. Therefore, the rest of the world is forced to turn to the services of companies in these countries and depend on them.

Oil and gas service- is a means of ensuring the energy and environmental security of the country. The service ensures the required level of production and transportation of oil and gas, and is the information basis for environmental safety on land, sea and in the subsoil during oil and gas production.

Oil and gas services are one of the most important engines for transferring the country's economy from a resource-based focus to high technology. The global market for oil and gas equipment and services is represented by high-tech, knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive products, which are based on the achievements of the military-industrial complex. Close interaction between the oil and gas and defense complexes is mutually beneficial to both industries and the country’s economy as a whole.

Currently, three countries are world leaders in the development of equipment and technology for oil and gas services: the USA, Russia and China. These countries develop and produce the most complete range of oil and gas equipment, equipment, technologies and have the largest service and intellectual potential to carry out work from prospecting and exploration of fields to the most complete extraction of the oil and gas reserves contained in them.

Among the factors determining the leadership of these countries in this area, the main ones are: the presence of a large fuel and energy complex, which creates the need for new equipment and technology and serves as a testing ground for their development; the presence of a developed military-industrial complex creates the prerequisites for technological leadership in service through the use of the latest achievements in defense technology; high level of academic and industrial science ensures the competitiveness of equipment and services offered to the world market; developed system and high level of education of the population reproduces the intellectual potential of leadership.

Today, service companies are one of the main driving forces of innovative development of the fuel and energy complex in Russia. Their main task is to ensure stabilization of production in old oil-bearing provinces and to accelerate the development of unprofitable fields with hard-to-recover reserves.

Services in the oil sector (oil service) include a number of activities: drilling wells (primarily production and exploration); current and major repairs of wells; seismic research and geophysical work; infrastructure construction; application of methods for enhancing oil recovery and production intensification; technological and general transport services; production, maintenance and repair of oilfield equipment.

Currently, three main models for the development of services prevail in the Russian fuel and energy complex.

The first business model, in which the company uses its own divisions to provide main production with auxiliary oilfield services, is quite widely used in the Russian market. A number of the largest Russian oil and gas companies, such as Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Surgutneftegaz, Tatneft, have retained oil service divisions or even separate enterprises and maintain them at a high competitive level.They have a reliable parent company market that is not accessible to third parties, are usually equipped with the most advanced equipment and technology, are well equipped, and have a solid staff social package. The presence of the parent company's resources allows them to develop these divisions and invest in technological and management innovations.

The second business model for the development of the domestic oil and gas sector is associated with the arrival of foreign service companies. All the leaders of the world oil and gas services are represented here - these are the American companies Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Weatherford.

Founded in 1919, Halliburton provides products and integrated services for the entire oil and gas life cycle, from oil and gas exploration, development and production, field operations, equipment maintenance, refining and refining, to infrastructure and well abandonment. . Halliburton has the world's most extensive experience in providing services to oil companies and is constantly ready to develop advanced technological solutions that allow them to obtain maximum economic returns from the exploitation of resources. Schlumberger, being the largest oilfield services company, provides a wide range of services related to the development of oil fields - geological exploration, drilling, well testing, well workover, oil production stimulation, well cementing, well completion. Largest customers Schlumberger in Russia - Rosneft, Gazprom, Gazpromneft, TNK-BP, Lukoil, NOVATEK, Surgutneftegaz, etc.

Without encountering opposition from the state and domestic oil and gas service companies, they are increasing their presence in the Russian market year after year by acquiring independent companies.

The third business model for organizing and developing oil and gas services involves the separation of service structures from oil and gas production enterprises and the subsequent receipt of services on the market. During the period of reform of the Russian fuel and energy complex, many oil and gas producing companies, freeing themselves from non-core assets, which included oil service divisions, formed the basis for the creation of independent domestic service companies operating in the fuel and energy sector.

The PetroAlliance company has long occupied a prominent place in the service sector of the oil and gas industry. Services provided by the company: seismic exploration; capital repairs of wells; cementing; reservoir modeling; geophysical survey of wells, etc. The Oil Technology Overseas company was created to provide scientific, technical and technological services in the oil and gas complex. LLC "Drilling Company "Eurasia" is one of the largest drilling companies in Russia, it is engaged in the construction and repair of wells. The company's teams work in all oil regions of Russia.

CJSC "Siberian Service Company" is another largest drilling company operating in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tomsk Region, Samara Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. SSK's activities are currently carried out in two main oil and gas basins of Russia - West Siberian and Volga-Ural. The company provides the following range of services: construction of drilling rigs; construction of wells for all purposes; production of plugging works; capital repairs of wells; provision of services for organizing production management, etc. However, the resource provision of these companies is not comparable to the capital of foreign oil services. Thus, the majority of Russian independent service companies cannot provide the variety and required level of quality of services.

The Komi Republic is one of the leading regions for oil and gas production in Russia. Many companies servicing oil and gas fields operate on its territory.

Usinsk branch of Integra LLC, Usinsk branch of BC Eurasia LLC, Usinsk branch of RN-Burenie LLC, Ukhta Burenie branch of Gazprom Burenie LLC created to organize highly efficient production for the construction of industrial, social, and environmental facilities, including the organization of drilling, casing, development, capital and underground repairs of wells, and enhanced oil recovery.

An enterprise with foreign investment, Komi-Quest LLC, has existed since 1992. Its founders are OJSC Komineft and Quest Petroleum Exploration GmbH (Austria). Today Komi-Quest LLC carries out repair and insulation work, eliminates leaks in the production casing, accidents that occurred during operation or repair, treats bottomhole zones, examines and transfers wells to use for other purposes, puts them into operation injection wells. High oil recovery is achieved by oil workers through the use of modern Russian and Western technologies. The best equipment, tools and production technologies affect the quality of work performed.

Oil and gas services in the Komi Republic are provided by Schlumberger, Halliburton and PetroAlliance.

Currently, experts give positive assessments regarding the prospects for the development of the domestic oilfield services market, despite the fact that during the global financial crisis There was a narrowing of the oil services market. Moreover, the sector of production of new equipment suffered the greatest losses (more than 50%). The volume of geophysics and exploration drilling has also decreased.

The oil and gas services market at the beginning of 2011 looked something like this: the leading place was occupied by the service divisions of vertically integrated companies (43%), followed by the drilling company Eurasia Drilling Company Ltd. (17%), followed by Schlumberger (11%), Integra (7%), Baker Hughes (3%) and Halliburton (3%).

Since 2011, there has been a rapid restoration of Russian oil and gas services: the volumes of both geological exploration and production drilling are increasing. The new general scheme for the development of the oil industry assumes drilling in 2010-2020. more than 50 thousand production wells.

Today, the service market in the fuel and energy complex is characterized by a certain stability. Market participants strive to make the most of emerging opportunities and strengthen their positions. It is expected that in 2012 the Russian oilfield services market will amount to $24.2 billion, and in 2015 - $35.9 billion. Drilling and well workover will continue to be the dominant sectors. Total spending on these types of services will reach $28 billion in 2014.

The dynamics of the development of the oil and gas services market in Russia are presented in Figure 1.

Rice. 1. Dynamics of development of the oil and gas service market in Russia, billion dollars.

Currently, service companies are one of the main driving forces of innovative development of the fuel and energy complex in Russia. Their main task is to ensure stabilization of production in old oil-bearing provinces and to accelerate the development of unprofitable fields with hard-to-recover reserves.

Development of new oil and gas provinces is underway, primarily in Eastern Siberia and the Russian part of the Caspian Sea. Service companies also expect a large volume of work at fields that have already been put into operation, where the priority remains the stabilization of production volumes.

According to expert estimates, the production sector of oilfield equipment in Russia, especially the construction of drilling rigs, may also significantly increase. The analytical company Douglas-Westwood estimates the need for their replacement in 2011-2012 at more than 200 units per year, while in 2009 it was 100, and in 2010 - 120 units. According to the company's forecast, in By 2013, another 190 units will need to be put into operation.

The post-crisis period of development of the oil and gas services market was marked by an important event. The largest drilling company in Russia in terms of volume of work performed, Eurasia Drilling Company, provides construction and major renovation wells, at the end of 2010 entered into an agreement of intent with one of the world's largest oil service companies - Schlumberger. According to this document, the parties must exchange assets in the field of oil and gas services. The transaction amount, according to experts, should be $280 million. The agreement also provides for Schlumberger to become the primary service provider for 200 drilling rigs operated by Eurasia Drilling Company for five years.

Such an alliance for Eurasia Drilling Company will allow it to expand its customer base and open up access to the partner’s technologies, and for Schlumberger, the exchange of assets will allow it to optimize its work in Russia.

Oil and gas service experts note two main trends characteristic of the current state of the Russian service market:

The formation of a competitive environment that occurs as a result of the withdrawal of service divisions from vertically integrated oil companies;

Creation strategic alliances between national oil service companies and international corporations.

The separation of service assets into separate companies is an already established trend in the Russian fuel and energy complex, the reasons for the withdrawal service work There are several reasons for outsourcing: 1) oil service costs for companies using the services of external contractors are half as low and amount to about $15 per ton of oil produced, while oil companies using their own service units spend from $18 to $30; 2) improving the quality of service work as a result of the fight for the client; 3) outsourcing of oil and gas services made the oil company more transparent and understandable for investors.

The most important problem of the global economy of the oil and gas industry is the development of methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of oil and gas services.

In this regard, an assessment was made efficiency of bit service in drilling wells at the Bovanenkovskoye field. Well drilling is carried out by the Ukhta Burenie branch of Gazprom Burenie LLC. The wells at the field are directional, 1737 meters deep, consisting of four casing columns: direction, conductor, technical and operational columns . Gazprom Burenie LLC entered into an agreement for bit service with Urengoy Burtech LLC, the purpose of which is to increase the economic efficiency of drilling operations by reducing the construction time of production wells at the Bovanenkovskoye oil and gas condensate field by increasing the drilling speed compared to the indicators provided for in the technical design for well construction.

Cost calculation results bit service per well is presented in Table 1 (developed by the author).

The results of calculating the cost of bits included in the total estimated cost of constructing a well at the Bovanenkovskoye field are presented in Table 2 (developed by the author).

Table 1

Cost of bit service per well at the Bovanenkovskoye field

	Bits diameter, mm	Drilling interval		Cost of 1m of drilling, rub. (without VAT)	Cost of services by interval, rub. (without VAT)	Cost of services by interval, rub. with VAT 18%
	Total				1 046 611,54	1 235 001,70

table 2

Results of calculating the cost of bits per well at the Bovanenkovskoye field

	Name of works	Drilling interval	Cost, rub.
	Directional drilling
			130 605,39
	Drilling under extension Direction
	Total costs (in 1991 prices)
	Total costs including K - 49.69		43 615,84
	Drilling for conductor
	Total costs (in 1991 prices)
	Total costs including K - 49.69		454 488,89
	Drilling for an intermediate column
	Total costs (in 1991 prices)
	Total costs including K - 49.69		261 631,76
	Drilling for filter liner
	Total costs (in 1991 prices)
	Total costs including K - 49.69		712 857,06
	Total for the well		1 603 695,20

Based on the data given in the tables, we can conclude that the saving of bit service per one well in the field is 368.7 thousand rubles, and per annual volume construction of wells, savings per year will amount to 3.7 million rubles. Consequently, using the services of a bit service is much more profitable and profitable than purchasing, transporting and storing bits on your own.

Apparently, 2012 may become decisive in the confrontation between Russian and foreign businesses for domestic market oil and gas services. If national business, with the conscious support of the state, takes over, then foreign service companies will gradually be forced out Russian market and the struggle for the global market for high-tech oil and gas services will begin.

Oil and gas service specialists note that the basis for effective interaction between service and oil and gas production companies is the transparency of processes. The main goal of vertically integrated oil companies is to reduce costs for oil and gas services and improve the quality of services due to the ability to control the timing and cost of work performed by contractors. And the task of oil service companies is to effectively manage their own resources based on a detailed understanding of the processes and assets of the production company.

The lack of legal regulation of the relationship between oil and gas production and independent service companies is one of the main problems of oil and gas service. Other main problems of the service sector in the Russian fuel and energy complex include: strengthening the market position of imported equipment, mainly Chinese-made; weak positions Russian companies in the “premium segment” (geophysics, directional drilling) in the absence of the majority of service companies having investment resources to modernize production.

Further development of oil and gas services will depend on the following factors: state policy in the field of oil and gas services; built relationships with oil and gas producing companies; availability of technologies that reduce costs and increase production efficiency; compliance with safety regulations, etc.

Thus, summing up what has been said, we can draw the following general conclusions.

Oil and gas services are a complex of services on the scale and quality of which the well-being of the Russian oil and gas complex, the main supplier of funds to the state budget, decisively depends.

Services in the oil sector include a number of activities: drilling wells (primarily production and exploration); current and major repairs of wells; seismic research and geophysical work; infrastructure construction; application of methods for enhancing oil recovery and production intensification; technological and general transport services; production, maintenance and repair of oilfield equipment.

In conclusion, we can say that translation issues are associated with the full development of oil and gas services Russian economy on high technologies that provide solutions to problems of energy efficiency, resource conservation, and energy security. All conditions exist for the development of oil services as an independent business, and the size and growth of the market make it tempting. In this regard, oil and gas services are the most dynamically developing segment of the Russian oil industry.

Every year on February 8, the domestic scientific community celebrates its professional holiday - Russian Science Day, established by decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 1999.

NK "" is actively developing its scientific potential in close cooperation with industry research institutes, universities, small and medium-sized innovative enterprises in the industry.

The current program of innovative development of NK "" is aimed at the creation and implementation of new technologies to solve production problems, the effective implementation of offshore projects, the modernization of the production base, replenishment of reserves, increasing the oil recovery factor, rational use associated petroleum gas, increasing the depth of oil refining, increasing energy efficiency, minimizing capital and operating costs, as well as ensuring environmental and industrial safety.

The company is actively replacing imported technologies in the technological chain for the production of high-quality petroleum products. To date, all oil refineries of NK "" have made the transition to using only domestically produced catalysts in all catalytic cracking units.

In 2015, specialists from the corporate research center LLC RN-TsIR completed the development and production of pilot batches of domestic catalysts for the hydrotreating and isodewaxing of diesel fractions, which ensure the production of high-quality summer, winter and arctic diesel fuels with ultra-low sulfur content of Euro5 class, as well as gasoline pre-hydrotreating catalysts for involving gasoline fractions of secondary thermal processes in a mixture with straight-run feedstock into the catalytic reforming process. The promising product is characterized by high activity, improved strength characteristics and a long service life.

"" has consolidated its leadership in the development of domestic GTL (Gas-to-liquid) technologies. Scientists at the corporate research center have developed catalysts that make it possible to effectively process natural and associated petroleum gas into synthetic hydrocarbons (synthetic oil). The catalysts have been successfully tested at the laboratory level and have already proven their high performance characteristics.

In addition, RN-TSIR developed technology and launched a pilot plant for the synthesis of a unique petrochemical catalyst, which allows the creation of domestic polymer and composite materials, as well as new generation oils from previously unclaimed raw materials petrochemical production. The technology is protected by Russian and international patents

The company is working to reduce the dependence of the Russian market lubricants from imports. For this purpose in research center The company is developing technologies for producing high-index mineral and synthetic base oils to create finished oils in the premium segment, including for the production of lubricants for Arctic purposes. Along with this, scientists have developed a new line of mineral oils high degree cleaning – white oils. Such oils can be used where indicated high requirements to the purity of the materials used, including in medicine, veterinary medicine, food, and textile industries. In terms of their physicochemical and immunological parameters, they are significantly superior to imported analogues, which is extremely important in the production of various biological products, in particular vaccines.

To increase the efficiency of the well stock and increase production volumes at the Samotlor field, in 2015, specialists from NK "" carried out 20-stage hydraulic fracturing for the first time in Russia. The implementation of the project will make it possible to drill out the marginal zones in which reserves not involved in development are concentrated. Drilling and development of reserves in these zones have not been carried out to date due to their low efficiency.

NK "" is not only the leader in oil production and refining in Russia, but also acts as a driving force for the scientific study of the Arctic region. The Kara-Winter 2015 expedition has become the largest in the world over the past 20 years in terms of volume and scope of work.

As part of the Chukotka Summer 2015 research expedition, the Company almost completely restored the weather observation system in the Arctic. Now 7 modern weather stations of Rosneft operate in four seas of the Arctic Ocean.

Based on the results of complex expeditions, NK "" released a unique Atlas of hydrometeorological and ice conditions of the seas of the Russian Arctic, which has practically no analogues among both Russian and foreign geographical publications.

In the field of developing innovative solutions for the implementation of environmental programs, scientists from the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov specifically for NK "" developed a drug capable of decomposing oil and oil products at low (including negative) temperatures. The principle of operation of the drug is based on the use of cold-loving bacteria (psychrophilic microorganisms) capable of absorbing oil as a food substrate, turning pollution into carbon dioxide, water and the biomass of the bacteria themselves.

NK "" continues to develop strategic partnership with the country's leading universities, scientific centers and institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as foreign scientific organizations. The company provides support to schools, universities, secondary vocational educational institutions in all major regions of its production activities. About those who will come to work in 5–10 years oil company cares today, forming a reliable personnel reserve in general education and vocational schools.

For several years, NK "" and its subsidiaries have been working closely with 47 leading universities in the country, including Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after I.M. Gubkina, Far Eastern Federal University and etc.

The continuous influx of new technologies ensures cooperation with the Russian Academy of Sciences and the world's leading scientific centers.

Since 2011, when "" began implementing an innovative development program, the number of patents owned by the Company has more than doubled.

OJSC "NK" congratulates all its employees and partners on the Day of Russian Science!
