The Idea Behind Creating the Company

I started my own company because I never really found a place where I felt I could use my abilities to the fullest. In large companies, things can move slowly, decisions get buried in bureaucracy, and sometimes there simply isn’t enough professionalism or genuine interest in the work.

I wanted to create a place where people can grow, take initiative, and feel that their ideas matter - a company where driven, curious, and proactive people genuinely enjoy working

Company Journey

16 years in the oil and gas industry:
More than a chemical manufacturer, we help shape better industry practices

"Oil Energy" Is Founded
One person. One idea.
No investors. No ready-made infrastructure. Just the drive to do better than the rest.
2011 - 2013

Moving Beyond Sales to Creating Value
Within three years, "Oil Energy" grew from an idea into an operating business. In 2011, the company secured its first major cementing chemicals supply contract, defining its core business focus, expanding its team, and broadening its product portfolio.
In 2013, "Oil Energy" opened a chemical laboratory in Kazan to develop proprietary formulations and products. An international trade department was also established to work with global suppliers, develop export supply chains, and strengthen logistics.

We Manufacture Quality You Can Rely On
In 2014, "Oil Energy" opened its own production facility in Berezovsky (Russia), completing its transition to a full-cycle manufacturing model. New liquid and dry blending lines were launched alongside proprietary developments and formulations.

In 2015, the company signed new contracts with global oilfield service companies Halliburton and Schlumberger, successfully meeting the standards of two of the world’s leading service corporations.

In 2016, "Oil Energy" established an engineering bureau and introduced the "M4" - an innovative product for well completion. The company also formed its first Board of Directors and adopted its first set of corporate values.

In 2017, "Oil Energy" became the first company in Russia to launch R&D and a production line for polymer additives used in oil&gas well cementing. The company also introduced the concept of self-management, distributing responsibility across teams, reducing bureaucracy and hierarchy, and establishing transparent operating principles.

One Billion Rubles in Revenue. No Traditional Management Hierarchy
The self-management model proved effective - and the numbers confirmed it. In 2019, Oil Energy’s revenue exceeded one billion rubles for the first time, achieved through a horizontal management structure and autonomous teams.

In 2020, the company launched the "Life Energy" ecosystem, developed internal startups, and began hosting business tours for entrepreneurs and corporate teams.

In December 2021, the company achieved record quarterly revenue, demonstrating that self-management was not merely sustainable - it was becoming stronger.

Life Energy: Resilience Through Crisis
In 2022, Oil Energy’s technological impact on the global oil and gas industry was recognized when the company was added to the SDN List. The company adapted, achieving record annual revenue in 2023. That same year, the identity of the Ecosystem - which includes Oil Energy - was formalized, and the Ecosystem’ s Living Code was adopted.

In 2024, the "M14" team brought new innovative dissolvable alloy based technologies to market, strengthening its position as a leader and expert in dissolvable well completion equipment. The team also implemented the "M14 Seats" project at the Skolkovo innovation cluster.
