The qualifying stage of the Case-in championship was held at TSU

This year, the championship was held for the first time in Tyumen, at the site of the flagship regional university. Tatiana Dubrovina, Head of the Department of Vocational Education of the Tyumen Region Department of Education and Science, and Andrey Medvedev, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of Tyumen State University, delivered welcoming speeches to the participants.

«We live in a unique area. Regardless of external conditions and internal circumstances, it is constantly developing and moving forward progressively., — noted Tatiana Dubrovina, — and this is provided by you who are in this room. Nowadays, strict requirements are placed on the younger generation, their professionalism, intellectual abilities, and their ability to use information technology not only in their lives and work, but also in any situation. The quality of engineering personnel is a determining factor in the competitiveness of not only the specialist himself, but also the region and our state. The engineering championship is an additional stage in the formation of the professionalism of future specialists in the oil industry, and allows universities and companies to unite in the training of engineers of the future.».

Sixteen teams spent 10 days solving engineering cases based on materials from industry companies in the fuel and energy sector, and defended their work for 6 minutes in front of representatives of the region's leading oil companies. Denis Afonin, Scientific Secretary of Tyumen Petroleum Research Center LLC, was elected Chairman of the commission. The jury included representatives of companies such as Sibur LLC, RN-Yuganskneftegaz LLC, and KogalymNIPIneft.

«The works presented by the participants were of various levels. Someone completed them with less diligence, but some guys tried to work out the topic as much as possible and present the material with high quality.— the manager of the Sibur Production Center comments Dmitry Anashkin. — There were technologies that could actually be used in production. Those works that won are very worthy, I liked them. It was interesting to see how the guys think, their motivation, what goals they set for themselves and what they want to achieve by participating in this competition. I wanted the guys to understand the important educational component, that this is not just a competition, but their opportunity to gain some real-world work experience. I tried to arouse their interest so that when they came home, they would want to look at information about oil companies that exist in Russia and gain additional knowledge in some areas.».

All the team members are multiple winners of scientific conferences and competitions, but as the student said Natalia Polyakova At the Championship, they felt as if they were performing for the first time:

«We study at the same department – the development and operation of IGiN oil and gas fields, we belong to the same scientific circle of SPE, we are friends. We were lucky to have such a close-knit team, it was very easy, because we know each other's strengths and weaknesses, so we correctly distributed the roles and performed well. Besides, we already had some scientific developments. And when we saw the case, we realized that this is exactly the moment when they can really be useful in practice. And that's exactly what made our work so unique and good. We express our gratitude to the organizers of the championship, and we are glad that Artem Sergeevich Korolev came from Moscow.»

The winners received a "ticket" to Moscow, to the final of the championship, where they will represent the main regional university in the oil and gas league, to prove that they are the best among 20 more universities in Russia. The winning team consists of students of the Department of Development and Exploitation of Oil and gas fields of IGiN: Maria Romanova, Natalia Polyakova, Anna Evdokimova, graduate student of the department Dmitry Ostapchuk.
