Buran Group's active exhibition activities in May 2025: key events and achievements

Demand for Russian equipment for the lower completion of wells is growing: the market needs both standard solutions and individual ones adapted to the conditions of developing hard-to-recover reserves.

In response to sanctions challenges and the departure of a number of large foreign companies from the Russian market, in 2023, Buran Group of Companies established a plant in the Chelyabinsk Region for the production of oil equipment: shoes, couplings, liner hangers, packers, stingers, well filters, etc. This made it possible to quickly fill the gap and provide Russian oil and gas companies with strategically important products.

Now the production processes at the enterprise are fully streamlined, and an in-house design department has been formed, which is engaged in the development of equipment and technologies. In addition, the company provides oilfield services for lowering and activating equipment in the well.

1. The equal internal diameter of the couplings ensures unimpeded passage of the tool and high-flow hydraulic fracturing.
2. Multiple closure of the couplings allows for prompt shutoff of water inflow or repeated multi-stage hydraulic fracturing at the interval.
3. Refusal of inter-interval packers due to continuous cementing of the "liner". This significantly reduces CAPEX and simplifies the design.
4. The continuous hydraulic fracturing process without stopping eliminates additional operations, saving time and resources.

The company produces 600 sets of equipment per year, but already next year the plant is preparing to increase production to 850-900 sets, Igor Poluektov, Marketing Director of the Buran Group of Companies, told InfoTEK.

The expansion of production capacity is urgently needed due to the growing demand for oil and gas companies for non-standard solutions and equipment sizes, including for multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, which will help in the development of hard-to-recover reserves.

For almost 2 years of operation, the company has developed its own types of equipment to increase the efficiency of well drilling processes and reduce the cost of their construction. We are talking about an innovative technology for completing wells with a large vertical reach with the ability to rotate the liner during lowering and cementing.

For these purposes, when completing cemented horizontal and directional wells, it is proposed to use the company's advanced development - the Barracuda hydraulic fracturing sleeve, the number of possible hydraulic fracturing stages of which reaches up to 100 operations in one well. As a result, the time for the hydraulic fracturing operation is reduced (up to 40% compared to Plug & Perf), and well construction costs are saved - cementing instead of packers, hydraulic fracturing is carried out without stopping the entire fleet, which reduces the volume of working fluid. All this reduces well construction costs by 15%, the speaker noted.

• The equal internal diameter of the couplings ensures unimpeded passage of the tool and high-flow hydraulic fracturing.

• The continuous hydraulic fracturing process without interruption eliminates additional operations, saving time and resources.

You can get acquainted with the advanced developments of the Buran Group of Companies during the Industrial and Energy Forum in Tyumen (TNF 2025), which will be held from September 15 to 18. At the forum, you can not only present new technologies, but also find direct contact with key market players to better understand their needs and pain points.

The Buran Group of Companies plant is the only manufacturer of equipment for the lower completion of wells in Russia that uses its own tubular blanks.
