PJSC “RussNeft” Replenishes the Forests of Western Siberia

In 2022 PJSC "RussNeft" increased the volume of reforestation works by another 44 ha. Thus, in three years, the planting of new trees covered an area of 442 ha with more than 1,700,000 seedlings planted. This year, the Company has planted more than 162,000 seedlings. When reforesting, PJSC “RussNeft” uses improved and varietal seeds of forest plants adapted to the regional characteristics of the planting area. For the restoration of forests in Western Siberia, as a rule, pine seedlings are used, previously grown in nurseries to a height of 12-20 cm. The reforestation program is being implemented on the territories allocated by the forestries to compensate for cutting down at infrastructure construction sites for oil production and seismic exploration. PJSC “RussNeft” pays close attention to compliance with environmental legislation and prevention of negative impact of production activities on the environment.
