As part of the Science-Intensive Software Technology Day in Moscow, chief engineers and IT project managers of the RN-BashNIPIneft Research Institute demonstrated the capabilities and plans for the development of Rosneft’s science-intensive software, the company’s press service reported.
“Our software products are based on the latest technologies. We use physical and mathematical modeling using artificial intelligence and high performance computing power. In terms of technical characteristics, Rosneft software surpasses foreign analogues, says Maxim Volkov, Deputy General Director of Technological Development and Innovation RN-BashNIPIneft.
As part of the implementation of the innovation program, Rosneft specialists developed the RN-GRID, the first industrial hydraulic fracturing (HF) simulator in Eurasia. Import substitution development ensures the company’s technological independence in the field of computer modeling, which is essential for the use of hydraulic fracturing technology.
At the event, representatives of Rosneft announced their plans to bring two new software systems – RN-VEGA and RN-Drilling calculations – to the foreign market this year.
RN-Vega handles the entire process of interpreting hydrodynamic studies (well testing) of wells, from the preparation of “raw” data to the publication of a result.
RN-Drilling Calculations software is designed for the design and construction of wells. The software allows you to plan good trajectories, analyze intersection risks and calculate the stability of the drill string. The functionality of the software also includes hydraulic calculations, estimating the removal of drill cuts, design of connection processes and automatic generation of reporting documents.
“Rosneft specifically developed the first industrial hydraulic fracturing simulator (HF) RN-GRID in Eurasia and plans to launch new high-tech software complexes – RN-VEGA and RN-Drilling calculations.” At the same time, 8 software complexes are included in the Unified Register of Russian Programs for Electronic Computers and Databases,” said Alexei Mukhin, Director General of the Center for Political Information.
He emphasized that such productive activities put the company on the first line of both digital dominance and dominance of production in the country.
“According to Rosneft experts, IT developments have now replaced almost 80% of foreign software in key oil and gas production processes,” he said.
