The case solving Championship started at the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies today, April 13.
During the qualifying stage, engineering cases are solved by the participants within 10 days, and an important role here is given to the economic justification of the proposed solutions.
The championship is held in 37 universities not only in Russia, but also in Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and this year the conclusions drawn by the participants are evaluated by a jury consisting of representatives of scientific organizations, as well as fuel, energy and mineral resource companies. In particular, JSC SUEK, JSC MHC EuroChem and PJSC FGC UES.
In 2016, the national partners of the Championship are 5 federal ministries − the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, as well as Rosmolodezh and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects.
"Many enterprises, including the oil and gas industry, need specialist engineers who can think outside the box, offer new techniques and be the engine of the economy.... This championship is an opportunity for students to meet with employers"- said the Deputy Director of the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies for practices and interaction with employers Andrey Terekhin.
Indeed, modern oil and gas companies often need human resources and recognize this. They see the championship as a chance to meet the "best minds."
"Indeed, there is a problem with personnel for the oil and gas industry, and they are trying to solve it at the Government level, both the Governments of Tatarstan and Russia., -the Deputy Chief Geologist of NGDU Surgutneft commented Karen Sarkisyants. – Geologists and petroleum geologists are in demand at our company, so our goal is to select future employees at this championship who will benefit both our company and the industry as a whole. By the way, if we talk directly about the oil industry, the specialists educated at Kazan University are considered to be among the best."
The qualifying stage, which takes place at Kazan University, is attended by 13 teams of 4 people each, and all of them are alma mater students.
"This is our first participation in the championship, and I want to believe that the debut will be successful.... We will need to propose the most effective energy-saving methods when working in oil fields, which means we will have the opportunity to practice our future profession. Of course, we hope that employers will pay attention to us.", - shared by a student of KFU, a member of the ROXAR team Azat Ashirov.
It only remains to add that the winners of the qualifying stage are invited to participate in the final of the championship, which will be held in Moscow in May this year. There they will compete for the status of the best engineering student teams, for offers of internships and internships in leading industry companies, as well as for participation in the summer educational programs "Mining School" (mining and geological exploration) and "Energy of Youth" (electric power industry).
