Rosneft’s investments in projects for the beneficial use of associated petroleum gas (APG) totalled 303 billion roubles from 2013 to 2024.

Responsible attitude towards the environment is an integral part of Rosneft Oil Company’s corporate culture and one of the key principles of its business. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the Company’s strategic objectives. Rosneft implements a range of measures aimed at introducing innovative technologies, improving industrial safety and care for the environment.

As part of its Gas Investment Programme, the Company is working to increase the utilisation of APG in all regions where it operates. In 2024, Rosneft commissioned nine new facilities to help achieve this goal, including gas injection, power generation, gas preparation and utilisation facilities, and gas transportation infrastructure. The programme is being implemented in all regions of the Company’s operations and promotes the widespread introduction of innovative, energy-saving, «green» technologies into production processes.

While developing new fields, Rosneft carries out planning at the stage of drafting technical project documents. This comprehensive approach provides for all the measures necessary to utilise APG by a clearly defined deadline.

The Company’s specialists are constantly working to develop innovations that optimise and scale the process. For instance, in July 2025, employees of Orenburgneft (a Rosneft subsidiary) patented a technology for reducing the content of hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans in associated petroleum gas (APG). The innovation has been implemented at the Vakhitovskaya group of fields, resulting in a significant increase in APG utilisation, from 20 to 80 thousand cubic metres per day. The economic impact will exceed 1 billion roubles over five years.

Rosneft’s Energy Saving Programme, which is developed for a five-year period and updated annually, makes a significant contribution to reducing the Company’s carbon footprint. As a result, in 2024, Rosneft reduced its absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Furthermore, the total savings in energy and fuel resources amounted to 363,000 tonnes of fuel equivalent. By 2030, the energy saving programme will reduce emissions by 4.7 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
