The Rosneft press service led a briefing in Taimyr as part of the EcoArctic forum, an initiative organized by RN-Vankor—the region’s leading oil producer in Krasnoyarsk Territory. The gathering brought together voices from industry, government, science, and civil society to examine the Arctic’s distinctive environmental conditions and to discuss sustainable strategies for resource development in this remote part of northern Russia.
The forum aims to sustain an inclusive, results-focused dialogue among key subsoil users in the region, including Rosneft subsidiaries, alongside state representatives, scholars, and communities residing in the Arctic. Central to the conversations was protecting delicate Arctic ecosystems while honoring the traditional ways of life of the Indigenous peoples of the North who have long called Taimyr home. Participants stressed the importance of collaboration that balances responsible resource management with the preservation of cultural heritage and subsistence practices vital to local communities.
The event featured a roundtable that gathered lawmakers, executives from Rosneft’s Krasnoyarsk Territory subsidiaries, environmental advocates, scientists, and representatives from civil society organizations. Debriefs highlighted the outcomes of the company’s 2022 production and environmental initiatives across RN-Vankor, Vostsibneftegaz, and Slavneft-Krasnoyarneftegaz. Attendees reviewed progress in reducing emissions, protecting wildlife, sustaining water resources, and deploying advanced monitoring technologies designed to lower ecological impact while maintaining productive operations across remote Arctic landscapes.
Participants pointed to the ongoing development of the expansive Vostok Oil project in Taimyr as a pathway for enhanced cooperation between the regional economy and the energy sector. The EcoArctic forum is seen as a catalyst for ongoing collaboration, knowledge exchange, and public accountability, with plans to establish the forum as a recurring annual event in Taimyr. By fostering dialogue among government bodies, industry players, researchers, and community groups, the gathering seeks to align exploration and production activities with long-term environmental stewardship and the well-being of local communities.
