In the 90s of the last century, after privatization, several vertically integrated oil companies (VIOCs) were formed in the Russian Federation, which are currently the main Russian suppliers of black gold to the domestic and world markets. These industrial monsters - Lukoil, Slavneft, Russneft - certainly dominate the industry today. However, there are currently smaller oil companies in Russia that are potentially capable of creating worthy competition for these industrial monsters.

Such enterprises (NOCs) are independent of the state and process no more than 1 million hydrocarbons per year, regardless of production volume. One such mid-level supplier is the Irkutsk Oil Company. Employee reviews about this employer are currently available online, including good ones.

History of the enterprise

The INC was founded in 2000. It was preceded by the work of Soviet specialists who gave a lotforces for the development of the East Siberian oil and gas province. The oldest field currently being developed by INK is Markovskoye. It was here in March 1962 that the first oil gusher in the Irkutsk region was hammered. Later, the Danilovskoye and Yarakta deposits now owned by the company were discovered and developed in the province.

The Irkutsk Oil Company began full-scale financing of its production projects in 2001. Then the company paid off the debts of its subsidiaries OJSC UstKutNeftegaz and LLC NK Danilovo and reopened wells at the Danilovskoye, Markovskoye and Yarakta fields.

The company started commercial production of black gold in 2002, and in the summer of 2003 received the first profit from operating activities. Later, INK became the owner of a license for the right to develop several more fields, created its own drilling division and built an oil pipeline. In 2014, INK was included in the rating of the 30 fastest growing companies in Russia.

The great merit of the specialists of this holding can be called, among other things, the fact that they discovered several completely new deposits in the course of its activities. Good reviews about LLC "Irkutsk Oil Company" in the network from citizens of the Russian Federation can be found, among other things. At the moment, the company is mining black gold, of course, at newly discovered sites. In 2017, the Irkutsk Oil Company, among other things, began to supply the market with propane-butane withYarakta field.

Company structure

Currently, INK-Capital holding is a branched structure with many subsidiaries and is able to produce oil on its own at all stages, from exploration to oil transportation.

The coordinator of the activities of all enterprises that are part of the holding, at the moment is INK LLC. Some subsidiaries of this organization are responsible for oil production at certain fields and areas, others are created for drilling wells, others repair equipment, etc.

Company fields

The main objects that bring INK (Irkutsk Oil Company) the lion's share of the profits, today are still the Yaraktinsky, Danilovsky and Markovsky blocks. The company also mines, for example, at:

• Verkhnetirsky field.
• Ichedinsky.
• Ayan.

At the moment (2018) INK has the right to develop oil at 38 licensed areas located in the Irkutsk Region, the Republic of Sakha and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In total, the company owns 18 black gold deposits.

The main volume of oil production at INK in 2018 comes from the Yarakta area, located in the Ust-Kutsky and Katangsky districts of the Irkutsk region. This field accounts for about 85% of all work carried out by the holding.

Production activity

Geologists working in the INK (Irkutsk Oil Company) conduct exploration on the territory of all 38 licensed areas. In this regard, the holding today even occupies a leading position in the region. Drilling operations at the company's fields are carried out by a subsidiary of INK-SERVICE LLC, which uses the most advanced modern technologies in its activities and has vast experience in the development of the East Siberian province. In terms of the rate of development of production, INK is one of the leaders in the oil industry of the Russian Federation. In recent years, the company's oil production has increased 7 times (8.5 million tons in 2017).

Shortly, INC, among other things, plans to start selling electricity from its own stations operating at several fields, at tariffs approved by local executive authorities.

Simultaneously with oil, the company is also producing natural gas accompanying it. In the next 5 years, INK plans to build several production facilities related to the processing, preparation and shipment of blue fuel.

Which workers are required

What are the reviews about the Irkutsk Oil Company (INC) - we'll talk about this a little lower. To begin with, let's deal with what, in fact, employees are required for this holding.

Such a schedule can, of course, be considered quite convenient, and there are good reviews from employees about the Irkutsk Oil Company on the Internet, among other things.

The workers employed in the development of deposits live in shift camps. The company provides its employees with free dormitories with showers and washing machines (unfortunately, usually in wooden barracks). In the rooms intended for workers in the dormitories, mostly single-tier beds are installed. But in some cases, in areas with a large number of employees, workers have to sleep on bunk beds.

Also, there are canteens in the camps of the INC. The employees of this organization in most cases eat at their own expense. Money for food is deducted from specialists' salaries. Because of this, the feedback from employees about the Irkutsk Oil Company on the network, of course, is not very good. Moreover, self-cooking in the dormitories in this organization, unfortunately, in most cases is prohibited for reasons of fire safety.

Wage level

The work of the specialists of this company is, of course, very hard. INC pays its employees less than the oldest Russian oil corporations. But, judging by the reviews, it is still possible to earn relatively good money here on a watch. Depending on the speci alty, workers here receive from 40,000 to 70,000 rubles a month. Of course, wages in the INC are paid exclusively white. At the same time, judging by the reviews, employees in the company receive money on time.

Feedback from employees of Irkutsk Oil Company LLC inYou can find quite a lot on the Internet. This company is popular with people who prefer to earn money on a rotational basis. And with regard to labor safety, its employees usually do not present their claims to this holding. However, you can still find a couple of reviews on the Internet in which employees express their concern about the possibility of accidents at work in this company.

In any case, the management of the INK group of companies still pays attention to the issue of labor safety of its employees. Among other things, this holding has:

• he alth and safety management system;

The advantages of INC, many of its employees, of course, include, of course, first of all, a white salary and the absence of delays. Also, the absolute advantage of this holding, judging by the reviews available on the network, is the fact that it is developing very quickly.

Is there any negative

Of course, INC, in addition to its advantages, has its disadvantages. Judging by the opinions of employees left on the Internet, the Irkutsk Oil Company has the same disadvantages as many other not too large northern enterprises that practice rotational work. That is, the disadvantages of this holding are:

• Spartan living conditions for workers and comfortable for ITK;
• old tool;
• not very good treatment of workers by the authorities in some areas;
• difficulty in finding employment and the risk of losing a job due to nepotism.

Also, many employees of the holding consider it a minus and poor food in canteens. There are not too good reviews about the Irkutsk Oil Company on the network due to the fact thatthat workers here are deducting VAT from the amount paid as compensation for travel from home and back. It is worth a trip to the Irkutsk region, for example, from the central regions of the country, of course, very expensive (and even more so in a compartment). Therefore, rather high amounts are eventually deducted from the salaries of employees.

Reviews about work in the Irkutsk Oil Company are also negative because in different areas the amount of work performed and salaries are somewhat inconsistent. Many employees believe that the organization of labor in the holding could be better.

Student employment

Among other things, the Irkutsk Oil Company is currently implementing the Petroleum Engineer internship program for university students. Within its framework, students work in departments for three months under the guidance of experienced mentors. The company also conducts theoretical courses taught by leading geologists of Russia and the world.

At the final stage of the internship, students are tested and defend a production project. In the future, university graduates at the enterprise are employed in engineering positions. Students of specialized educational institutions can take an internship at INC in the departments:

• geological exploration;
• field development;
• field engineering;
• enhance tank performance.

In the courses, university students study sedimentology, seismic exploration, petrophysics, etc. They accept students forinternship at the enterprise on a competitive basis. First, 10 candidates are selected, and then 5 of them, who are employed by the enterprise.

Reviews about the Irkutsk oil company "INK" LLC in the network from such young employees are also mostly good. This is explained, among other things, by the fact that during the internship, students receive a salary of 30 thousand rubles, as well as compensation for rental housing of 20 thousand rubles. After employment, the starting salary of new engineers in the company is 50 thousand rubles (for 2018).

Staff training

Of course, the company, among other things, organizes advanced training courses. INK employees have the opportunity to receive, among other things, higher or second higher education. Of course, and in this regard, the network has good reviews about the Irkutsk Oil Company.

In 2014, this enterprise created its own training licensed center. Here, those who wish can receive certificates in the following speci alties:

• slinger;
• specialist in environmental safety.

Corporate events

Thus, the positive qualities of INC are, first of all, the possibility of career growth and a stable salary. Reviews about the Irkutsk Oil Company, as already mentioned, are also good, and thanks to the cohesion of its team. The management of the holding, by the way, pays quite a lot of attention to this. For example, the company periodically organizes sports days at its own stadium,built at the Yarakta field. Such competitions are held on:

• volleyball;
• football;
• lifting weights;
• shooting and darts.

Of course, the teams of the enterprise traditionally compete in tug-of-war as well.

Social work

In 2013, INK, among other things, was included in the All-Russian Register of Socially Responsible Companies. The company is also involved in charitable activities. In 2017 alone, the company spent 120 million rubles for social purposes. INK is supported by:

• to medical institutions located in the northern regions of the Irkutsk region;
• schools;
• orphanages.

The company also often provides assistance to local communities as part of its program to protect the traditional way of life of northern indigenous peoples.

Instead of a conclusion

So what is the conclusion about the work of the Irkutsk Oil Company? Of course, there are also negative reviews about this holding in the network from employees. The Irkutsk Oil Company (Ust-Kut), however, is not considered by the majority of employees and local residents to be ordinary northern “sharashkas”. The employees of this enterprise receive a stable salary. In addition, the holding actually pays a lot of attention to social assistance to the cities and towns of the Irkutsk region.

According to many employees of the holding, the desire of the managementyou can actually notice its development. At the moment, INC in reviews is often, as already mentioned, even called the most reliable company in the region. And if the holding's management eliminates some of the existing shortcomings in the organization of work and life of its employees, perhaps over time INC will become one of the best employers in Russia.
