YATEK opens the way for young talents in the oil and gas industry

The final of the XII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship was held in Moscow. The strategic partner of the competition, PJSC YATEK, offered the future engineers an exclusive educational case.

About six thousand students from more than fifty universities participated in the qualifying stages of the Student League of the championship. The new season was dedicated to the theme of "Lean Manufacturing".

YATEK experts have developed a case study entitled "Build a new one or use an old one — choosing the optimal option for field operation." The participants set about solving a real case: they were looking for effective solutions for the maintenance and repair of mature wells.

Based on the results of the project work, the finalists had the opportunity to complete internships and internships at YATEK facilities. The strongest students will get real practical experience with the possibility of employment.

Alexey Zelentsov, Deputy Director for Geology, Geophysics and Field Development at YATEK, noted the importance of the company's participation in training new personnel. "Participation in the CASE-IN allows us to establish direct contact with young specialists. For students, this is a chance to get acquainted with real cases, to learn how the "internal kitchen" of the organization is organized. For us, this is an opportunity to quickly assess the professional skills of future specialists and invite them to a paid internship, and in the future, invite them to join the team. We already have positive examples when the winner became our colleague.", — he told me.

In addition to the competitive events, the attention of the guests of the championship was attracted by the thematic area of PJSC YATEK. Here it was possible to get to know the culture and traditions of Yakutia, as well as the company's activities. The DJ console was particularly popular among the participants, where anyone could create their own track using YATEK's production sounds. Students actively participated in interactive activities and received prizes.

"YATEK sees the future in youth and strives to support resourceful, motivated young people who are not afraid to set ambitious goals and find innovative solutions. The final of the CASE-IN championship became not only a platform for demonstrating professional knowledge and skills, but also gave young professionals the opportunity to establish contacts with leading companies in the industry, which will become a springboard for their career growth and professional development.", – concluded Andrey Korobov, General Director of PJSC YATEK.

The winners of the competition in the field of "Oil and Gas business" were the teams "The Power of Thought" from Samara and "Usresh", representing Tyumen Industrial University. Special prizes for the "Best video camera" and a diploma for a "Breakthrough solution" were awarded to members of the Techno Team Sakha from the Northeastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov. The first place and the award from YATEK – a trip to Yakutia – was earned by the Oil Sharks inc team from Irkutsk National Research Technical University.

"The championship left the most positive impressions! We are very grateful to everyone who supported and helped us. YATEK's case was incredibly informative and relevant, and working with experts always helps to expand knowledge and skills. We are looking forward to a trip to Yakutia. It will be an unforgettable adventure and a unique opportunity to learn more about the oil and gas industry from a practical point of view.", — Maxim Egorov, the captain of the Oil Sharks inc winning team, shared.
