The main thing is to dream a little! BlackCode – participant of the Oil Industry IT Championship

The BlackCode team is a team of developing young professionals, different in profession, but with an extraordinary view of everyday things. Of course, every participant in the oil industry IT championship dreams of winning a big prize, but for BlackCode participants, their project is a new opportunity for personal and career growth, an opportunity to express themselves and (oddly enough!), to dream a little.

The five participants are team captain Denis Ryabko, Mikhail Chumakov and Alexander Ovsyannikov, representing Automatika-Service, Danila Romanov from the 100-point Tutor online school, and Pavel Maslennikov, an employee of Gazprom Dobycha Krasnodar.

As the team members admit, the project attracted them with the opportunity to gain new skills both in the field of information technology and in the oil and gas industry. The synthesis of these areas causes the guys great enthusiasm and desire to create an outstanding project.

"We decided to try to go beyond our professions and assemble a diverse team to solve such a non-trivial task., – says the captain Denis Ryabko. – The team consists of field developers, programmers, drillers, and versatile specialists who perform several roles at once. We are united by our love of chess and intellectual board games, and everyone regularly takes courses to gain additional knowledge, sometimes even non-core knowledge. I think the combination of these factors will help us achieve our goals."

The topic of drilling management, which is the leitmotif of the debut IT championship of the oil industry, is interesting to BlackCode participants because of the new opportunities opening up in this area after the introduction of automatic and IT processes. The contestants also know how to fit such a global topic into one case study.

"As in any case, the main thing for a successful solution is to dream a little, – Denis Ryabko shares the secret of success. –  This will give us several extraordinary ideas at once, which, in turn, will allow us to approach the task in a diverse way. Our professional and personal qualities and experience will then help us find the right solution. We will do our best during the work and combine all the components into one project."

From the championship, young dreamers expect an assessment of their existing knowledge and the opportunity to master new competencies, share experiences within the team and with other participants. The project will allow each of them to become a higher-level specialist, advance in their professional activities, and improve their personal qualities and communication skills.

Well, as the members of the BlackCode team admit, participation in such a prestigious project will add another plus to the resume and make it even more significant. Plus, it will become a springboard for new achievements and achievements!
