The East Siberian Oil and Gas Company (VSNK), a subsidiary of Rosneft, has reached record figures in the development of the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field, located in the Evenki District of Krasnoyarsk Krai. Since the start of commercial operation, 20 million tonnes of crude oil have been extracted. These high results were achieved through the rapid implementation of infrastructure projects, including integration into the Kuyumba–Taishet trunk oil pipeline system, followed by the delivery of raw materials through the Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean pipeline.

In 2018, production at the field increased to 2.3 million tonnes of oil per year due to the launch of CPF-1, and the early launch of CPF-2 in the same year allowed oil production to rise to 6 million tonnes per year.

At present, VSNK’s production complex includes 249 horizontal production wells, four of which are multilateral. During the development period, large-scale infrastructure was created: over 200 km of power transmission lines were built, oil treatment and transportation facilities were commissioned, storage tanks with a total capacity of 30,000 cubic meters were constructed, along with power and heat generation complexes. In total, more than 200 specialized facilities have been built to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the field.

In 2023, an autonomous power unit with a capacity of 36 MW was commissioned at the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field, providing electricity to oil and gas production complexes and related infrastructure. The volume of energy generated corresponds to the annual needs of a settlement with a population of up to 8,000 people. A key feature of the station is the use of associated petroleum gas, which reduces the environmental impact by utilizing secondary resources from oil production.

As part of the project, VSNK has created more than 2,300 jobs, of which 1,500 employees work on a rotational basis.

Oil and Capital (Neft i Kapital) notes that Vostsibneftegaz is also conducting geological exploration at Rosneft’s licensed areas in Krasnoyarsk Krai: Ayavinsky, Dzhelindukonsky, and Tersko-Kamovsky (in the southern part).
