Liquids production amounted to 4.64 mmbpd (57.0 mmt), decreasing by 0.7% and 2.2% QoQ and YoY, respectively, due to continued compliance with OPEC+ Agreement constraints. Gas production amounted to 16.63 bcm, decreasing by 3.4% QoQ and 2.9% YoY.

Development drilling and implementation of modern technologies in upstream

1Q 2020 development drilling footage amounted to 2.2 mln m, while the number of newly commissioned wells reached 555 units. As part of Rosneft-2022 strategy implementation, the Company continues to focus on the construction of high-tech wells, which provide more effective reserve development and greater oil recovery rate compared to directional wells drilling.

Share of newly commissioned horizontal wells grew by 14 p.p. YoY – up to 67% of the total number of newly commissioned wells. In addition, unit production per horizontal well increased by 9% in comparison with 1Q 2019 level. Share of newly commissioned horizontal wells with multistage hydrofracturing reached 41% of the total number of wells commissioned over the period, growing by 7 p.p. vs. 1Q 2019 level.

The Company continues to develop its key assets under OPEC+ Agreement constraints, concentrating on the development and implementation of new technologies, including digital ones, which increase field development effectiveness along with saving resources. The Company considers technological leadership as one of the key factors of competitiveness on the oil market.

A unique unmanned aerial pipeline monitoring system, which combines the advantages of both plane and helicopter type vehicles, was introduced at RN-Purneftegaz. Furthermore, the device mainly operates in the “plane” mode, which is more efficient in comparison with “helicopter” mode.

Upstream projects development

The Company continues to develop its projects in accordance with the previously announced plans. Since 2016 such large greenfields as Suzunskoye, Vostochno-Messoyakhskoye, Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye, Kondinskoye, Tagulskoye, Russkoye, Kuyumbinskoye fields, 2nd stage of Srednebotuobinskoye field, Zapadno-Erguinskoye field have been launched. In 1Q 2020 the Company’s share in total liquid hydrocarbons production at the abovementioned assets amounted to 5.1 mmt (411 kbpd), which is 17% higher than 1Q 2019 level, while their share in the total liquids production constituted 9%.

The development of Erguinsky cluster is in progress with Kondinskoye and Zapadno-Erguinskoye fields launched as part of the project. In 1Q 2020 daily production at the cluster’s fields increased by 17% YoY and reached 61 kbpd (0.8 mmt over the period). Cumulative production of the cluster's fields amounted to more than 5 mmt of oil since its launch in 2017. The accelerated development of new reserves became possible due to the implementation of modern approaches of production process management at all stages – from wells construction to feedstock transportation. Development drilling is conducted at 11 well pads of the Erguinsky license area along with construction of infrastructure facilities, infield pipelines and electric power transmission lines. Pressure pipeline welding is conducted in order to transport oil to Priobskoye field and Transneft pipeline system afterwards.

As part of Danilovsky oil and gas production cluster development project the Company proceeded with development drilling at Severo-Danilovsky field. As part of the field development project it is planned to drill 95 wells, the majority of which will be horizontal. Drilling works are conducted with implementation of modern technologies and cutting-edge equipment. Application of remote real-time drilling support allows to reduce geological risks and increase drilling works speed. Furthermore, a constant video communication system is created between all the responsible business blocks on the field.

Preparations towards launching Severo-Komsomolskoye field are in progress. In 1Q 2020 development drilling of wells with horizontal section length up to 2 km is continued, building and installation works are conducted at infrastructure facilities and oil treatment units (central production facility, boosting compressor station and others). As part of the pilot commercial field development production doubled at the field vs. 1Q 2019 level and amounted to 14 kbpd (0.2 mmt over the period).

Rospan project’s key facilities construction is in its final stage. The project is planned to be launched this year. It will generate over 21 bcm of gas and over 5 mmt of liquids per annum, along with over 1 mmt of technical propane-butane.
