Complete localization cycle: from design to implementation of filters for oil wells.
In Russia, serial production of filters for oil wells has been launched, developed and implemented entirely on domestic grounds — from design to deployment in oil fields. The equipment complies with international standard API 5L regarding the inspection and testing of pipes, ensuring its compatibility with global quality and reliability requirements. This allows the filters to be used in complex geological conditions without the risk of non-compliance with technical regulations.
The production process has been optimized through the revision of design and assembly logic. The area required for production has been reduced by 60% compared to previous solutions. At the same time, the cost of equipment has significantly decreased, achieved not by simplification but through rational design and the use of domestic equipment. Russian machines and production lines have proven to be cheaper than their imported counterparts while maintaining precision and reliability at a level sufficient for mass production of products that meet API 5L standards.
Design was carried out using automated design systems such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks. For engineering modeling and virtual testing, the ANSYS software suite was employed. This allowed for the refinement of design solutions before production, minimizing the number of physical prototypes and reducing time to market. Integration into existing production lines is ensured through the Wonderware Application Server InTouch platform, which provides industrial automation and real-time data visualization.
From 2024 to 2025, over 200 pilot runs were conducted at various oil fields. These tests confirmed the filters’ performance under real operating conditions, including high loads, aggressive environments, and complex extraction modes. The results enabled the transition from pilot batches to serial production without further design adjustments.
The project was implemented with the participation of Denis Korpachev, a graduate of Samara State Technical University. His professional journey includes work in international companies — Weatherford International, Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, and Turbomachinery Process Solutions. The experience gained from collaborative projects with these partners formed the basis of the technology, which is now fully localized in Russia. This is not a copy of an imported solution, but an adaptation of best practices to domestic production and operational conditions.
Modern digital tools are applied in project management. For analytics and planning, ERP systems such as SAP ERP, Oracle ERP Cloud, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 are utilized. Data visualization is carried out through Tableau and Power BI, enabling real-time tracking of key performance indicators. Implemented CRM systems with artificial intelligence modules increased the speed of application processing by 24%, as confirmed by publications in the Science of Europe journal and on the CNews portal in 2023.
Korpachev’s scientific activities include more than 20 publications in international journals such as the “International Journal of Advanced Studies” and the “Technical Sciences Bulletin.” His works are indexed in Crossref and Google Scholar. He holds eight patents for oil and gas equipment and is a laureate of the ATYRAU OILGAS 2025 forum.
In addition to his production activities, he participates in educational and charitable initiatives. His projects have been covered in regional media, including Progorodsamara.ru. Today, in the context of the need for technological independence, such developments become not just an alternative to imports but the foundation for forming a new level of domestic engineering. The production of full-cycle filters represents not only a reduction in dependence on foreign suppliers but also a demonstration of the Russian industry’s ability to create competitive technical solutions that meet global standards.
