The article presents the results of a work on organizing the production of a hydrocarbon base for drilling fluids (HBDF) based on highly refined petroleum products of primary and secondary oil refining at Angarsk Petrochemical Company, and the results of studying the possibility of increasing its production and expanding the company's product range. From 2018 to 2019 the specialists of Angarsk Petrochemical Company (subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company) and RN-LUBRICANTS LLC carried out work for organizing the production of a HBDF, which included: searching for the most suitable materials in terms of quality and technologies of origin; obtaining and testing laboratory samples of the product; development of engineering models of product production in the AspenHYSYS environment; conducting pilot tests with obtaining pilot batches of the HBDF and their qualification and operational tests. This enabled in 2020 to start industrial production of HBDF at Angarsk Petrochemical Company to meet the domestic demand of oil production enterprises of Rosneft Oil Company in this product and reduce the share of using imported bases. A further stage in the development of the production of domestic HBDF at Angarsk Petrochemical Company was the study of the possibility of increasing the volume of its production, within which several directions were chosen. This is both the involvement of other highly purified components in the composition of the product, and the search for new material flows. These activities identified the potential ways to increase the annual production of HBDF and ways to expand the range of viscosity characteristics.
