YATEK launched the qualifying stage in NEFU

The Yakut Fuel and Energy Company has launched the qualifying stage in the field of Oil and Gas Engineering at the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship at the Northeastern Federal University of M.K. Ammosov.

The largest engineering championship in Russia and the CIS countries is held for young people who seek professional development in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, as well as related industries. The tasks performed by the contestants are as close to reality as possible and are devoted to topical issues of industry development. Thousands of young people from all regions of Russia take part in the "CASE-IN" every year.

Eight student teams competed in solving a case developed by specialists of PJSC YATEK.

"As I have said more than once, participation in the CASE-IN is a great opportunity to solve engineering problems, without which it is difficult to imagine real production. It is gratifying that NEFU students have been actively participating in the championship from the very beginning, getting acquainted with the activities of the leading industrial companies of the republic and the country. As organizers and participants, we are glad that every year the championship contributes to the growth of the quality of engineering education, helps to discover more and more talents. This inspires confidence in the future of Russia's fuel and energy and mineral resources industries.", – NEFU Rector Anatoly Nikolaev emphasized.

The overall theme of the championship in 2024 was "Lean Manufacturing". In this regard, a case study from a leading gas producing company in Yakutia was devoted to a strategy for increasing efficiency within the framework of the lean manufacturing concept. The company's experts, Alexander Gogolev and Dmitry Efremov, highly appreciated the creative efforts of the students.

"For the fourth year now, we have been actively supporting Case-IN, monitoring promising young people, and providing participants with opportunities for professional self-realization. For us, the championship is a way to look at the problems of the oil and gas industry from a different angle, with a fresh look. Optimizing the use of resources, reducing waste, and improving process efficiency are always relevant topics for a gas producing company.", — commented the project office technologist Alexander Gogolev.

The winners of the qualifying stage were the guys from the Techno sakha team. The second place was won by the bright heads from the "Oilman" team, the "iSteam" squad earned the "bronze".
