• Production of recoverable reserves of oil, gas and condensate as well as associated components
• Maximum recovery of reserves
• Compliance with the license holder duties and requirements of the RF law on natural reserves

Oil and gas construction projects implement the most advanced research and engineering developments and modern technical solutions:  

• Rational use of natural reserves and material, fuel, power and human resources
• Pressure-sealed system for gathering, treatment, transportation and metering of oil and gas, as well as petroleum gas and formation water for the whole route from the well to the consumer
• Single pipe pressure-sealed gathering of oil and gas (including petroleum gas) up to the units for the first stage of oil and gas separation
• Transportation of saturated oil from booster pump stations or gathering systems to central treatment plant
• Water and salt removal from saturated oil with previously knocked out water with its consequent separation (if necessary heated separation) at the final stages
• Integrated automation and remote control of oil and gas gathering, treatment and transportation with oil metering avoiding tanks and commercial oil delivery
• Maximum use of petroleum gas transportation under natural pressure after the first stage of separation up to arrival to consumers: Gas treatment plants or main compressor stations etc
• Construction of pad wells when developing oilfields, equipping them with modular units, equipment and facilities to service and work over wells, meter flow rate, volume of injected water, power consumption and automated remote control etc.
• Application of highly efficient corrosion inhibitors for pipeline systems when transporting well fluids and emulsion breakers by oil treatment
• Laying field utilities in-line in one corridor (pipelines, power lines, communication lines and remote control, motor roads etc), providing a unified design solution and unified systems and units for electro-chemical protection of pipelines, power and water supply etc.
• Using computer tools (SAPR system) for oilfield development options and choosing the best one, as well as optimization of pad oil gathering systems, oil treatment and transportation, general utilities, transportation lines and plan for routine maintenance and repair
• Maximum possible application of modular and packaged equipment and main process units, prefabricated buildings and block boxes for auxiliary facilities
• Application of super blocks, designing gathering and treatment systems for oil, gas and water as a unified process unit closed or open, with storied allocation of process equipment
• Using modular automated booster stations with the enhanced capacity, general surface facilities including a gas dehydration unit of modular design
• Using industrialized methods of construction assembling structures from prefabricated modules
• Using non-metallic pipes
