Udmurtneft Switches to Eco-Friendly Drilling Rigs
26 August 2025
Udmurtneft (operated by Rosneft and China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, or Sinopec Group) has deployed its first domestically manufactured electric mobile drilling rig.
By replacing the traditional diesel engine with an electric drive system, environmental impact has been minimised. Furthermore, the transition to electric drilling equipment has reduced energy consumption costs by 30%, saving approximately 1 million roubles per well.
The rig has a lifting capacity of 180 tonnes and is transported on a mobile semi-trailer chassis. The driller's workstation features a comfortable enclosed cabin with joystick controls. The electric power drive has accelerated drilling preparation by 12 hours and reduced time required for scheduled preventive maintenance.
The new drilling rig is currently being utilised at Udmurtneft's Mishkinskoye field. The capabilities of the domestic rig will subsequently be applied at other company deposits. Another similar drilling rig is scheduled to be commissioned this autumn.
For reference
Kurdinov Udmurtneft is the largest oil-producing enterprise in the Republic of Udmurtia, providing 60% of the raw materials produced in the region. It develops 36 fields located in 14 districts of the republic.
