“RussNeft” continues systematic environmental protection work

PJSC “RussNeft” continues its systematic environmental protection work, paying special attention to the recycling of drill cuttings, conducting environmental monitoring and control at production facilities, as well as carrying out compensatory and public environmental campaigns. For instance, the environmental policy of the Company’s Khanty-Mansiysk Branch is based on pitless drilling technology, which involves recycling cuttings into construction materials for road development. In 2026 alone, the branch disposed of 27,177 cubic meters of drill cuttings across two license areas, completely preventing the emergence of new storage facilities, the last of which was reclaimed in 2020.. For reforestation purposes, RussNeft uses improved and selection seeds of forest plants adapted to the regional characteristics of the planting area. To restore woodlands in Western Siberia, pine seedlings are typically used, which are pre-grown in nurseries to a height of 12–20 cm. During the summer period, fish fry raised under contracts with specialized organizations are released into river basins to compensate for the damage caused to aquatic biological resources during the production cycle. RussNeft pays close attention to compliance with environmental legislation and preventing the negative impact of its production activities on the environment.
