VNG PAO (Russia)

Volgogradneftegeofizika PAO is a company located in Volgograd, Russia. It was incorporated in 1949 with the aim of providing geophysical support for oil and gas exploration in the Nizhne-Volzhsky region. The company specializes in conducting seismic surveys at all stages of geological exploration, including regional, exploration, and appraisal. They offer comprehensive interpretation of seismic materials and GIS data, allowing for accurate depth-time transformations, complex mapping, and seismic geological modeling. Volgogradneftegeofizika PAO operates seismic survey parties equipped with modern recording systems and equipment, enabling them to conduct 2D and 3D seismic observations year-round. They also have mobile field bases with comfortable living quarters and specialized workshops. The company utilizes advanced vibrational installations from Sercel - Nomad-65 and explosive sources for seismic excitation. They have the necessary permits, storage facilities, and modern technical means for their implementation. Volgogradneftegeofizika PAO has created field computing centers in each seismic survey party for quick analysis of field materials, preliminary geological-seismic representations, seismic observation planning, 3D seismic calculations, and geodetic calculations. Over the years, the company has completed over 200,000 km of 2D seismic surveys and studied more than 70 areas totaling over 8,500 sq. km with 3D seismic surveys. They have also conducted electrical exploration across almost the entire territory of the Volgograd region. Based on their seismic survey data, they have recommended drilling over 400 structures, with more than 70 of them yielding hydrocarbon inflows. They have discovered over 50 hydrocarbon deposits with total reserves exceeding 95 million tons, including the largest one in the Volgograd region, the Pamyatno-Sasovskoye oil field.
