Official date of the Institute establishment is June 1, 2000. Currently more than 500 students are trained at the Institute. Institute of Oil and Gas includes 5 departments:

Department of Development and Operation of Oil and Gas Fields;
Department of Oil and Gas Wells Drilling; Facilities for Oil and Gas Fields.;
Department of Facilities for Oil and Gas fields;
Department of Oil and Gas Trans-portation and Storage;
Department of opencut mining;
Educational-engineering center;
Labs

In 2011 it is planned to prepare specialists by the following specialties and directions:

«Oil and Gas Engineering», qualification — bachelor, duration — 4 years.

Profile «Operation and Servicing of Field Production Project Sites»

Sites of graduates` professional activities: production facilities for development and operation of oil and gas fields on shore and on the water.

Graduates of this profile can work in the field of oil and gas extraction; perform oil and gas wells operation and repairs, develop wellstream.

Profile «Operation and servicing of oil and gas transportation and storage sites and petroleum refinery products»

Sites of graduates` professional activities: hydrocarbon transportation; oiltrunk and interfield pipelines, main and local gas pipelines, gas-distribution systems, pumping and flowing plants, oil-loading terminals on shore and off shore facilities, tank fields, petroleum storage depots, oil and gas enterprises.

Profile «Oil and Gas Wells Drilling»

Sites of graduates' professional activities: deep oil and gas wells, facilita-tion of oil and gas wells construction and drilling for the purpose of search, fields exploring and operation

Profile «Operation and Servicing of Oil and Gas Complex of the Arctic Shelf»

Sites of graduates' professional activities: offshore platforms, systems of product gathering, preparation and transport, onshore facilities for the well production intake and gas liquefaction.

«Production Machines and Facili-ties», qualification — bachelor, du-ration — 4 years.

Profile «Machines and facilities for oil and gas fields»

Sites of graduates` professional activities: developing project and norma-tive-technical documentation, manufacturing, assembling, running-in, engineering, installation, operation and maintenance of drilling and oilfield machinery, oil and gas processing equipment and offshore oil and gas structures; research methods and reliability enhancement means

Specialty «Open-Pit Mining», qualification — Mining Engineer, duration — 5 years

Graduates can work in the field of mining practice management, designing and economy of mining, facilities operation, they also can develop mines for construction materials extracting.

Subjects: «Development of coal and ore deposits», «Extraction and Pro-cessing of Construction Materials».

Students have an opportunity to ob-tain one or several professions in the oil and gas production field; it renders them much more confident about the future.

After the first and second year students pass practical training, after the 3-rd and 4-th students get field experience at the oil and gas enterprises of the North-West Region and Western Siberia.

Graduates of the Institute are in high demand in the oil and gas industry from Kaliningrad to Sakhalin, from Varandey to the Caspian; they can also pass competitive selection and continue their education within Master and PhD programmes in Russia, within Master programmes in Norway and France.

Students have an opportunity to perform scientific research, prepare and deliver scientific reports.

Main achievements in scientific-educational and innovation activities.

Basic Results:

Methods for assessment of the fields’ development impact on the environment are validated. It permits to evaluate spatial and time scale of the probable impact and zone territory according to the risk degree.
Methods for engineering-geocriological monitoring are worked out.
The Institute worked out and patented method for collapse prevention under the permafrost conditions. This method makes it possible to exclude expenses for failure effects (mud springs) elimination.
Non-aqueous compounds pro-duced for bottom-hole area treatment permit to increase fields’ productivity up to 3 %.
Technology of peat briquettes producing is ready for introduction.
For industrial introduction the Institute suggests:

Constructions and technologies providing efficient road construction from the failed coat;
Combined method for laying pipelines under the conditions of Transpolar Tundra;
Method for complex reclamation of oilcut lands;
System of hydraulic fracture modeling

Establishment of competitive innovation scientific-educational center for performing competitive R&D using modern methods end ecologically safe technologies of field development in the European North of the Russian Federation.

In 2010 the Institute purchased and installed the unique program complex based on the software Rapid-Spotfire-Rock Catalogue and replicator Gohfer. Currently the Institute provides the purchase of the research-educational petrophysical lab complex produced by the company «Core Laboratories» (USA). All that will allow to carry out research and educational activities in the following directions:

Field development prognosis based on the selection of analogues from the Geological Materials Catalogue.
Development of the geological, petrophysical, hydrodynamic models, provision of the adaptive stimulator tuning for the well cluster stimulation.
Performing professional activities in accordance with Russia’s interests in the Arctic zone, provision of the educa-tional process competiveness in the World market of education services, including specialists training. They will obtain full complex of theoretical, experimental and practical skills of hydrocarbon collector research and description, experimental and mathematic simulation, scaling of the results matrix .

Our Partners

The Institute cooperates with the leading oil and gas companies of the Russian Federation: JSC «LUKOIL», JSC «ROSNEFT», JSC «GASPROM», actively develops cooperation with foreign companies «Statoil» and «Shlumberger».
