"Last week, my dream came true. There has long been a desire to see Yakutia in winter, to look at people who are used to living in conditions of abnormal frosts. I had never been to a gas condensate field before, so everything was new to me. I especially enjoyed the communication with the workers of the field, they talked about the production process from A to Z, answered all the questions. It was clear that in addition to practical skills, they have a large theoretical base. My impressions of the region and the company were extremely positive. I want to visit Yakutia again, but in January and February, to really feel the cold weather.", – he commented emotionally Sergey Buksha.

The students got acquainted with the system of operation of the producing wells of the Srednevilyuysky GKM, got a visual idea of the gas treatment and condensate stabilization unit, visited the freight yard and service shop, and also visited the gas field department in the village of Kysyl-Syr and the company's office in Yakutsk.

"In the village of Kysyl-Syr, we visited the gas field department, where we got acquainted with the activities of all departments and talked with employees. At the Srednevilyuysky Gas Processing Plant, we got acquainted with the well stock, as well as the integrated gas treatment plant, where we were able to ask many questions and take a fresh look at some points in our solution proposed at the case championship. I really liked that everywhere there was an opportunity to ask any question and get an answer to it.", – shared it Zakhar Kaiser.
