YATEK, the partner of the championship, helps train high-quality personnel for the oil and gas industry

As part of the cooperation agreement between Northeastern Federal University and PJSC YATEK, the Department of Subsoil Use of the Geological Exploration Faculty receives specialized industrial equipment for the oil and gas complex. About 25 tons of devices for teaching students have already arrived in Yakutsk.  

YATEK is a partner of the Reliable Shift Foundation and its flagship project, the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship. NEFU students regularly take part in the competition and demonstrate developments for the development of the country's industry to the industry community.

YATEK plans to provide the university with more than 100 tons of equipment. Deliveries are still ongoing. The specialized devices necessary for the actual training of future oilmen are huge machines, they will be placed at the NEFU Oil and Gas Business training and technology training ground. All the equipment is in working order and allows students not to study the devices and complexes on which they should be able to work from books, but to try them in practice, emphasizes Nikolay Timofeev, Head of the Department of Subsurface Management of the Russian Geological Fund.

"The most important thing is high–quality personnel training for the oil and gas industry, which is mainly based on the practical component. In this regard, the creation of a landfill is a priority for the development of a whole field at our university. It is gratifying that YATEK pays considerable attention to this and gives our students and graduates the opportunity to realize themselves as specialists in the oil and gas industry.", – shares Nikolai Timofeev.

Representatives of the department visited the company's production site in the village of Kysyr-Syr in the summer of 2021, where they discussed with representatives of the main production departments the transfer of equipment to the university. "These simulators will help in the professional training of young specialists, that is, our future colleagues", – adds Stanislav Ostreldin, Head of the Laboratory of the Department of Subsoil Use.

YATEK, adds Nikolay Timofeev, annually accepts NEFU students of a specialized field for practical training. This provides an opportunity not only to undergo practical training, but also to collect materials for completing the final qualifying work.
