IT championship of the oil industry: the final is ahead!

Following the results of the second stage, a 48–hour hackathon, 10 teams participating in the oil industry IT championship were able to develop unique solutions in the field of drilling management and surprise leading industry experts.

On October 1, the Magnificent Ten will meet face to face in St. Petersburg at the Digital Transformation Center "Tsifergauz".   Young oilmen will present crucial versions of their projects to the expert community, and only one team will receive the main prize of 1 million rubles and the opportunity to participate in federal industry events under the auspices of the Russian Ministry of Energy.

Participants of the prestigious project, IT specialists, analysts, drilling specialists, HR managers. We have already overcome many competitive challenges on the way to our cherished goal. Many of the contestants were not familiar with each other before the start of the project, so first they had to form teams, get to know each other, establish interaction and determine a strategy for further work.

Within the framework of the qualifying stage, in 10 days, young specialists developed mathematical models and a unified algorithm for analyzing the impact on business and identifying factors affecting the continuity of the IT circuit, which will form the basis of the MVP IT business continuity management system.

The authors of the best developments became the lucky owners of vouchers to the second stage, the hackathon, where they had to finalize their solutions (MVPs) and submit them to a competent jury.

The results of the hard work and efforts of the teams became the basis for the rating, which will be taken into account in the final of the IT championship of the oil industry.

It was headed by:

1. NESTRO TECH (Zarubezhneft) – 5 points
2. Prometheus (Gazpromneft-CR) – 4.73
3. Molchuny (Transneft Technologies) – 4.18
4. IT Works (Gazprom Neft Shelf, Gazpromneft STC, RANEPA and Gazprom Neft-CR teams) – 4

Captain of the Fortuna team Vitaly Vasiliev: "Solving problems in the hackathon, a new format for us, was very interesting and informative. From a certain idea, we needed to make a complete prototype of the system. This is not easy, because in order to implement the project, we had to figure out the requirements in an extremely short time. Therefore, it was important to set priorities correctly, assign responsibilities and work together for the result."

Captain of the Carbon Python team Ekaterina Panarina:  "I think we have managed to implement the main ideas. But it wasn't easy, we didn't stop working even at night. Our team is ready for the finale and knows how else to expand and improve the project."

The teams are currently finalizing their preparations for the finals. Ahead of them lies a decisive step towards victory and a dream. But it will be difficult to implement it without the support of relatives and colleagues. Therefore, on October 1, join the online broadcast of the final and become a part of the success of your favorites!
