In 2025, Gazprom Neft planted over 2.5 million coniferous tree seedlings in Eastern and Western Siberia. The annual reforestation program covered the Irkutsk, Tomsk and Tyumen regions, as well as the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
Pine and spruce seedlings were selected for the northern forests. They are grown from seeds harvested in the same climatic zones where future planting was planned. This approach will ensure high survival rate and resistance of young trees to the conditions of the Far North. Environmentalists will monitor the condition of seedlings for three years – this will help create the most favorable conditions for the growth and development of young plants.
The replenishment of forest resources is part of the Green Environment project, which Gazprom Neft implements as part of the Hometowns social investment program. The company's partner is Roslesinforg, an all–Russian forestry expertise center that implements reforestation projects across the country.
Maxim Ovsyannikov, General Director of Gazpromneft-Razvitiya:
Gazprom Neft annually conducts large-scale programs to study biodiversity in its regions of operation. We not only explore nature and implement solutions that ensure environmentally friendly production, but also contribute to the conservation and restoration of Russian forests. Today, as a continuation of the program, we have prepared 750 hectares of territories for reforestation in Eastern Siberia next season."
Nikolay Goroshansky, Deputy Director of Roslesinforg:
"The restoration of forest crops requires multi-stage and systematic work, careful selection of technologies and consideration of the specifics of the territory. Thanks to the cooperation with the Gazprom Neft team, we were able to apply the best practices of Roslesinforg to preserve the nature of the northern regions. A responsible approach to the implementation of such a large-scale program has allowed us to make a significant contribution to the restoration and enhancement of coniferous forests in Russia. I am confident that the effectiveness of our joint work will only grow next year."
