2024
The volume of the Russian oil and gas engineering market for the year reached 675 billion rubles
At the end of 2024, the volume of the Russian oil and gas engineering market amounted to about 675 billion rubles. Moreover, 508 billion rubles fell on domestic products. Such data in mid-September 2025 was disclosed by the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Alikhanov.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade notes that the share of Russian equipment in the oil and gas industry market by the end of 2024 reached 70%. For comparison, ten years earlier, the indicator was at the level of 43%. By 2030, as expected, the level of import independence will increase to 90%. To do this, within the framework of the "heat map" of technological deficiencies, work is underway to develop 220 critical equipment positions, which are grouped in seven areas of the oil and gas industry: geological exploration, drilling and production on land and separately on the shelf, oil and gas processing, oil and gas chemistry, LNG production and PCS.
\Alikhanov said that four types of equipment were launched in the field of geological exploration - a mobile complex of marine seismic exploration, a seismic vibration source, a prototype of GeoAudit technology and a bottom station. In addition, 21 positions are at the stage of implementation, 8 of which are planned state support by the end of 2025 for 1 billion rubles. More than 30 critical positions are being developed in the onshore drilling and production segment.
In order to support participants in the oil and gas engineering market, mechanisms have been created to stimulate demand: a "national regime" in procurement, accelerated depreciation and a program of "reverse engineering." Thanks to her, as of August 2025, serial production of 16 components has been organized, and another 12 are being prepared for production.
In addition, work is underway to promote Russian technologies abroad. The Institute of Oil and Gas Technological Initiatives plays an important role in this: its standards are recognized by companies from the UAE, Uzbekistan and other friendly countries, which, as the Ministry of Industry and Trade emphasizes, opens the way to foreign markets for Russian producers.[1]

2023
Increase in purchases of oil and gas equipment from China by 100%
Against the background of the emerging geopolitical situation, Russia has sharply increased imports of oil and gas equipment from China. For certain product categories, annual growth exceeds 100%. This is stated in the review of the Business Profile group, which TAdviser got acquainted with at the end of January 2025.
It is noted that in the context of the legalization of parallel imports China , he strengthened his position as a leading foreign trade partner. Russia The growth in demand for products from the PRC is due to several factors. One of them is significantly lower prices compared to European counterparts. In addition, Chinese manufacturers offer a wide range of equipment and components.
In 2023, the highest growth rates were noted in the segment of equipment for cleaning and filtering gases: purchases of such products by Russia from the PRC jumped by 120% compared to 2022 - from $82 million to $180 million. The volume of imports of parts of drilling and boring machines during the same period increased from $157 million to $295 million, that is, almost twice. And the supply of such machines themselves rose on an annualized basis from $107 million to $121 million. Leading suppliers of oil and gas equipment from China to Russia include:
- Norinco Vehicle and ZhenHua Oil - drilling equipment, oil and gas products, oil pipes, oil field chemicals;
- Kerui Petroleum & Gas - gas compressor, drilling and repair equipment, nitrogen production and injection plants;
- China National Oil and Gas Corporation (CNPC) - drilling rigs, drill bits, geonavigation systems, downhole tools, drilling pumps;
- Sinopec Oilfield Equipment Corporation - hydraulic fracturing units, well repair equipment, drill bits and tools, downhole tools, oil pipes and gas compressors;
- Jereh Group - equipment for shale drilling, compressor units for gas compression.[2]
Top 10 largest Russian oil and gas equipment manufacturers
The formed geopolitical situation had a significant impact on the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation. Against this background, Russian companies localized the production of more than 140 types of oil and gas equipment, which were previously imported. This is stated in the review of the Business Profile group, which TAdviser got acquainted with at the end of January 2025.
Analysts note that, despite the sanctions restrictions, domestic oil and gas equipment manufacturers occupy a stable position in a number of positions. Moreover, a significant increase in production volumes of certain types of products is recorded. Thus, in the segment of drilling machines, production in 2023 increased by 135% compared to 2022 - from 18.2 billion to 42.7 billion rubles. The volume of production of equipment for filtration and purification of gases over the same period rose by about 29%, amounting to 31.2 billion rubles against 24.1 billion in 2022. The production of heat exchangers and gas liquefaction machines showed an increase of 17% - from 47.3 billion to 55.1 billion rubles.
The top 10 largest Russian oil and gas equipment manufacturers include:

In Russia, the share of domestic oil and gas equipment reached 65%
As of the end of 2023, the share of domestic oil and gas equipment in Russia reached 65%. For comparison, in 2014, at the time of the introduction of the first sanctions restrictions, the figure was 43%. Such figures were announced on April 5, 2024 by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
According to the head of the department Denis Manturov, several factors contribute to growth. In particular, from 2015 to 2023, state support for oil and gas equipment manufacturers amounted to approximately 60 billion rubles. During the specified period, the engineering industry brought to the market more than 160 import-substituting solutions.
| We expect the trend to continue to increase the share of Russian equipment with an indicator of 70% at the end of the current [2024] year, "Manturov quotes Interfax. |
In the future, as planned, the import substitution process in the area under consideration will continue. In particular, the strategy for the development of the Russian manufacturing industry provides for the achievement by 2035 of a 90 percent share of Russian equipment in the structure of the oil and gas business. One of the areas of import substitution will be reverse engineering. According to Manturov, almost all fuel and energy complex companies have joined the work on the formation of uniform industry standards for equipment. This should help increase the technical sovereignty of the country's oil and gas industry.
On April 5, 2024, following a meeting of the Coordination Council for Import Substitution of Oil and Gas Equipment, a number of documents were signed with oil companies. This is a memorandum of cooperation between PJSC Gazprom Neft and PJSC Lukoil, Agreement of Intent between the Government of Russia, PJSC Gazprom Neft, PJSC TATNEFT named after V.D. Shashin and PJSC Oil Company Lukoil in order to develop the Oil and Gas Processing Equipment line, as well as an agreement of intent between the Government of Russia and JSC Gazprom Shelfproekt in order to develop the Offshore Drilling and Production Equipment[4]
