Science and Technology Center conducts integrated assessment of various petroleum regions to identify the most promising areas for further licensing and development

Seismic survey is an element of geological exploration. It involves examination of the subsurface using elastic vibration induced on the ground surface by different sources

Acquisition of maximum volumes of high-quality geological data while drilling and testing the prospecting and exploratory wells is the key outcome of geological exploration phase that allows planning future operations and choosing whether or not to proceed with field development

Science and Technology Center initiates and supervises laboratory studies of the rock extracted from the well (core) and formation fluids collected at Gazprom Neft oil fields. STC is the single center of accountability and competence with regard to these activities within Gazprom Neft Group

Development of unconventional hydrocarbon reserves, to include the Bazhen suite reserves, is one of the focal points of Gazprom Neft’s Technology Strategy. Science and Technology Center coordinates studies of the Bazhen and other unconventional hydrocarbon reserves and supervises the planning of pilot projects, using advanced technologies for drilling and development of such deposits

When Gazprom Neft decides whether or not to participate in a project, it conducts a detailed analysis of the asset’s economic parameters, which includes evaluation of geological parameters, potential risks, costs and development economics
