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.[1]
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:
- Borets Production Company LLC - gas stabilizing devices, submersible pumps, submersible electric motors, hydraulic protection;
- ZiO-Podolsk Machine-Building Plant JSC - heat exchangers, column vessels, capacitive equipment;
- Kazan Compressor Engineering Plant JSC - compressor equipment for oil and gas chemistry;
- JSC Cryogenic Engineering ("Cryogenmash") - equipment for separation, purification and liquefaction of natural gas, cryogenic tanks, storage and gasification systems;
- Izhevsk Oil Engineering Plant JSC (Rimera Group of Companies) - automatic drilling keys, drilling rigs, cementing complexes;
- OOO Oil and Gas Equipment Plant "Technovec" - wellhead equipment, filtration equipment, pipeline elements;
- United Metallurgical Company JSC - metal products for fuel power: oil and gas pipelines, tubing;
- Idel Neftemash LLC - mobile drilling rigs, well repair systems, drilling equipment;
- Neftekamsk Machine-Building Plant of Special Equipment LLC - circulation systems, drilling equipment, degassers, shakers;
- Gazsnabinvest LLC - supports of main and process pipelines, capacitive equipment.[2]
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[3]
