The Orenburgneft company, which is part of the oil and gas production complex of NK Rosneft, has reduced water intake from natural sources at the Lebyazhinskoye field by 28%. Thanks to the measures taken over 2.5 years to increase the level of reused water in the production process, the volume of consumption of “fresh” * water has decreased by more than 3 million m3.
Responsible attitude to the environment is an integral part of corporate culture and one of the key principles of Rosneft’s activities. The company is consistently improving its corporate water resources management processes by applying modern technologies for the treatment and protection of water bodies.
