CEO
“Based on the results of our activities over the past few years, we can confidently say that NaftaGaz has become one of the leaders in drilling in the oilfield services industry in Russia. In just 8 years of its existence, the company has become one of the five largest independent drilling companies. About 20 crews perform high-quality work at the facilities of our partners - subsidiaries of PJSC Gazprom Neft, PJSC NK Rosneft and PJSC Gazprom."
By early 2021, we have drilled 3 million + meters, completed 800 wells, 70 % of which using horizontal drilling. We are continuously increasing the productive time coefficient. The success of our team is especially relevant in the context of an independent business. We have moved from intensive growth of quantitative indicators to qualitative development and improvement of work efficiency.
We continue to expand our portfolio of orders by attracting new customers and developing related services for high-margin deep well drilling projects. In the very near future, we plan to complete the equipment fleet upgrading and to bring the average age of drilling rigs to 5 years
We care a lot about the corporate environment, promote the professional growth among employees and create comfortable working conditions. We understand that people are our main advantage. Today NaftaGaz is following the path of a qualitative growth of production capacities, increasing the business process efficiency, applying modern technologies, therefore we are looking for talented production workers and managers, we are closely monitoring the HR market, and even have introduced a special program for young professionals.
We look to the future with confidence. In addition to the growth in the number and scale of projects, our objective is not only to maintain efficiency, reliability and professionalism but also to improve the quality of management, to increase the technological KPIs, to move forward by setting new ambitious goals.
