4 student teams of Almetyevsk – in the semifinals of the CASE-IN championship

Students of Almetyevsk State Petroleum Institute took part in the qualifying stages of the X International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". 4 AGNI teams reached the semi-finals of the championship and at the end of April they will defend the honor of the institute in a competitive struggle with students of the country's universities.

"CASE-IN" is an international competition system for solving engineering cases, the project is part of the Russia - Land of Opportunity platform. The championship is held annually at the best universities in Russia and the CIS countries.

The Almetyevsk State Petroleum Institute, together with the Reliable Shift Charitable Foundation, has been hosting the qualifying stages of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship since 2016. This year, the stages were traditionally held in two areas: "Oil and gas business" (11 teams) and "Electric power industry" (7 teams). The theme of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" this year was "Industry 4.0".

The qualifying stages are held remotely on an online platform. Participants are sent engineering cases in advance in different directions on a single topic of the championship, and they must prepare a detailed solution to the problem in 7 days. The participating teams will present to the expert commission their solutions to engineering cases developed based on materials from industry companies. During the defense, students must present and justify technological solutions, as well as provide an economic assessment of their project. The expert commission consists of representatives of the OOVO faculty and representatives of partner companies of the Championship.

11 teams (43 students) competed in the field of "Oil and Gas business" at AGNI. Future oilmen had to propose and justify, based on the analysis of the data provided on the gas fields of PJSC YATEK, the technology and location of ammonia production equipment, as well as the location of wells for injecting carbon dioxide into wells using innovative, including digital technologies.

The first place in this field and a ticket to the semifinals of the championship were won by the Quartet of Oilmen team: Artem Abramov (team captain), Vladimir Azanov, Ilzir Galiev, Vladislav Zibaev.

The second place in the semifinals went to the Reservoir engineers team, which took 2nd place: Shamil Mirsaitov (team captain), Julian Alenkin, Ilya Volostnov, Talgat Nafikov.

In the field of "Electric Power Engineering" from AGNI, 7 teams of 28 students were formed. Here, based on the information provided in the case study, the participants had to solve the problems of locating and optimizing the operation of reserves of active capacity of power units of the UES of Russia and apply modern digital technologies of Industry 4.0 to solve this problem.

In this area, the "3 +1" team took 1st place: Ilyas Iskhakov (team captain), Almaz Bakhteev, Irek Khabibullin, Adelina Khisamieva.

In second place is the Tesla–team: Amir Ganin (team captain), Aigul Valiullina, Elsa Gilyazieva, Aigul Nigmatullina.

The winners and prize-winners of the qualifying stages were awarded diplomas with memorable gifts in honor of the virtual race "Running with the CASE-IN".

The presentation of the students defending solutions for the cases was evaluated by an expert commission, which included representatives of departments and structural divisions of ASNI, as well as specialists from industry companies – PJSC YATEK, PJSC Tatneft, JSC Grid Company, Almetyevsk Electric Networks. This year, the experts worked face-to-face and remotely using the Webinar platform for online events.: Therefore, the participants received questions both from the audience and via online chat.

The semi-finals of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship will be held at the end of April in a remote format: the teams that took first and second places in the qualifying stages will compete with each other in the federal districts. The final of the championship will traditionally take place at the end of May in Moscow and will bring together the best student engineering teams from universities in Russia and the CIS countries.

The winners and prize-winners receive a priority right for admission to 20 universities in Russia, an invitation to take an internship / internship in leading companies in the country, as well as valuable prizes from the Organizing Committee and partners of the Championship.
