2024: Novatek discloses digitalization costs and plans to create IT insourcer
Novatek, one of the largest independent natural gas producers in Russia, spent 1.4 billion rubles on digitalization projects in 2024. Such data are provided in the company's sustainability report, published at the end of April 2025. In a similar report for 2023, the company did not disclose this indicator.
To increase the level of digitalization of processes and increase the speed of response to changes in external conditions in 2024, Novatek formed a consolidated list of more than 200 IT initiatives for implementation in the medium term, including projects to create digital twins, predictive analytics tools and the introduction of end-to-end integrated planning "production - production - logistics." 40% of initiatives are planned for implementation in the near future.
The Company also assessed the cost, duration of implementation of these initiatives and analyzed the potential economic effects of their implementation, selected the most significant projects for implementation in the short term. At the same time, in order to prioritize digital initiatives in 2024, it was decided to create an IT development committee, which included deputy chairmen of the Novatek board.
In the reporting period, it was decided to create an IT subsidiary to develop its own IT competencies, ensure technological independence and increase IT efficiency. The new subsidiary will ensure the introduction of new and development of existing information systems in the company. According to the database of legal entities Kontur.Focus, "as of the beginning of May 2025, this company has not yet been registered.
In 2024, key digitalization projects were associated with the development of the Osnova corporate ERP system based on 1C software, the Captain marine transportation management system, import substitution and the introduction of new geological software.
As for the ERP system, as of the time of publication of the report, it was put into pilot operation at PJSC Novatek and 29 of its subsidiaries. The enterprises have automated functionality for the management of purchases, stocks, vehicles, MR, subsoil use and licensing, and systematized regulatory reference information. In the medium term, Novatek plans to replicate the system to the entire perimeter of the group of companies.
From which ERP solution Novatek switches to Osnova, the report does not specify. From open sources it follows that Novatek has previously used 1C. TAdviser is awaiting clarification from the company regarding this project.
In 2024, in the area of import substitution and the introduction of new geological software, Novatek, together with industrial competence centers (ICC) and industry partners, carried out work to replace foreign software that did not meet the requirements of the company. At one of Novatek's enterprises, the Digital Field pilot project was launched, within the framework of which, based on real-time data and digital models, it became possible to optimize production and reduce losses due to timely identification of problems and quick decision-making.
Upon completion of the analysis of the results of the Digital Field, the company plans to replicate it in other companies of the Novatek Group.
In addition, in the reporting year, the company received three certificates of state registration of computer programs: a geonavigation module, geological drilling support, and a software package for processing formation fluid test data on the plant.
The share of Novatek's expenses in 2024 for projects to develop and implement Russian IT solutions aimed at import substitution, including those implemented by startups, amounted to 0.09% of the Company's revenue, according to the sustainability report. In February, Novatek published its 2024 consolidated financial statements[1]where there is an indicator designated as "Sales Revenue." It is about 1.5 trillion rubles. If we calculate the costs of import substitution projects, based on it, then the amount of 1.39 billion rubles is released.
