Specialists of the Rosneft Scientific Institute RN-BashNIPIneft have developed an industrial software for modeling coiled tubing (CT) technological operations. The import-substituting R&D product ensures the technological independence of the Company in the field of computer modeling.

Technological potential development is one of the most significant points of the Rosneft-2022 Strategy. As technological leadership is a key to being competitive on the oil market, the Company’s priority is innovation activity.

Coiled tubing technology is an integral part of the modern oil and gas industry. It is used in oil and gas wells to perform a variety of technological operations: borehole flushing and bottomhole normalization, well development, milling of restrictions to restore the flow area, fishing operations, installing and drilling of cement bridges and packer plugs, acid treatments, geophysical surveys and others.

The Rosneft software package allows to design, control and analyze CT operations, solve the issues of finding optimal well construction parameters at the stage of planning oil and gas field development.

The corporate CT simulator «RN-VECTOR» is currently being tested at the Company's fields to be subsequently implemented in all technological processes where CT technology is used.

It is impossible to effectively apply the CT technology without detailed modeling of CT operations. Rosneft is focused on developing engineering competencies and domestic solutions for modeling key oil and gas production processes.
