Abstract
The present-day realities of the oil and gas industry, more than ever, demand from oil and gas companies a qualitative change in their business with costs cutout. The paper describes the development of design engineering in Rosneft, the largest oil and gas corporation, and provides insight into the use of unified and standard design of construction facilities and material and technical supply. The authors trace back to the formation and significance of the development of designing systems in the Company as a leverage to increase the Company's economic and technological performance. The paper focuses on the Drilling segment, a new area of Geology and Reservoir Engineering within the Company's Standard Design System. Particular attention is paid to the topics of proppant and the layout of design documentation for well construction; the authors evaluate the expected and available effects from the use of standard documentation, and provide estimates of third-party companies. When analyzing production processes, the authors show features of interaction with the Company’s structural units in order to find the most important and demanded areas in design engineering that require unification and standardizing. The purpose of the study, as defined by the authors, was to assess the economic and technological effects of the project.

Materials and methods
Unification and standardizing of processes in the projects of well construction, hydraulic fracturing, proppant selection, assessment of technical and economic effects.

Keywords
