YATEK supports the finalists of the jubilee CASE-IN Championship

The final of the X season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" started in Moscow on May 25. PJSC YATEK acted as a strategic partner of the competition in the field of "Oil and Gas business". The company's experts have developed an exclusive educational case for future engineers, and also headed the expert commission of the championship.

"CASE-IN" is an international competition system for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young professionals. In 2022, 108 universities and about seven thousand future and aspiring engineers took part in various stages of the country's largest industry championship.

The student League in the field of "Oil and Gas business" was held in the format of remote qualifying stages and face-to-face finals in Moscow. The teams solved specialized tasks dedicated to real production problems.

YATEK, as a strategic partner of the direction, proposed to solve the case "Ammonia production and carbon dioxide utilization". The contestants had to justify the technology and location of ammonia production, as well as the location of wells for injecting carbon dioxide into wells. When developing the case, the participants used the company's real data on the gas field, and some parameters were modeled.

A special feature of the engineering task was the interdisciplinarity of the project teams, since the task was at the junction of the gas and gas chemical industries, the following stages.

The authors specifically emphasized that there may be many alternative solutions. The decisive role was played by the technical competence of the participants, the logic of the decision, the quality of the design and presentation. The task from YATEK was used in qualifying, semi-final and final competitions. 

17 teams competed in the final part. The team of Irkutsk National Research Technical University "Lagrange's Theorem" was recognized as the champions of the "CASE-IN" in the field of "Oil and gas business". The winners received a special prize from YATEK – a paid internship in production. In addition, the company's management decided to invite players from two finalist teams for an internship: Goose petroleum (Polytechnic Institute of the Far Eastern Federal University) and Atomic Nucleus (NEFU Polytechnic Institute named after M.K.Ammosov).

"Of course, it is a great honor to win such a representative championship. Now we have to visit a real deposit, see with our own eyes what we only imagined when we solved the case. It's going to be more than a simple trip. We will not only be able to get to know the process of gas production better, but also, quite possibly, look into our own future.", – Evgeny Rudykh, captain of the Lagrange's Theorem team, shared.

YATEK also participated in the preparation of an extensive interactive program for the final part of the championship. So, the company organized an activity zone with puzzles. Participants were invited to participate in the project of laying a pipeline from the village of Kysyl-Syr to the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. As part of the Career Day, Elena Lanskaya, head of the recruitment and adaptation department, shared the secrets of the correct resume design, told about the internship and work conditions at the enterprise.

Anton Nedosekin, Deputy General Director for Geology, Geophysics and Field Development of PJSC YATEK, acted in the responsible role of chairman of the expert commission of the championship.

"Last November, the winners of the previous championship, students from St. Petersburg Mining University, completed an internship at the Srednevilyuysky GKM. They have acquired unique skills in the company's production that cannot be acquired at a university. This year we have also invited the winners to join us and we will be happy to share our invaluable practical knowledge. We pay attention to the involvement of young professionals in the development of the company. And we are very glad that every year the championship helps to discover more and more talents among young people. This gives us confidence that the future of the Russian engineering industry is in safe hands!" – emphasized Anton Nedosekin.
