The qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship was held in the Arkhangelsk region

The qualifying stage of the XIII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in the field of "Oil and Gas business" took place in the main building of NARFU.

Eight student teams had to develop projects to introduce innovations into production, which should become an impetus for achieving technological sovereignty and forming a strong and competitive national economy. The authors of the best ideas will represent the Arkhangelsk region in the semi-finals of the competition, and then receive a ticket to the final stage of the championship.

The team of "Endless Possibilities" students Yang Xin yu, Yang Xin Yu and Zhang Xin Wei dedicated their report to the development of innovative technologies for the sustainable use of natural resources in the face of climate change.

"At the technical level, we use ozone cycle technology – this technology adapts to the cold weather in Yakutia, provides a quick payback, and also allows us to implement a storage technology. The first stage of the project, operation, will begin in 2026. It will expand from the central gas field to meet 40% of the local method and open for oil exports in 2027-2028 via the sea route to China. From 2029 to 2033, this project will fully meet local needs and enter the Pacific market. Logistics involves joint transportation by road and rail, and sea transportation will be carried out abroad," the girls noted.

Alexey Yudin, Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Industry of the Arkhangelsk Region, was appointed Chairman of the expert commission for the qualifying stage of the championship, and special software, a CASE–IN Simulator, will be used to summarize the results.

The final of the CASE-IN championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2025. Young and future engineers will present the final versions of their solutions to the industry community, share their experiences with colleagues, receive valuable advice from experts and will be able to establish professional contacts for further implementation of their ideas.

The champions and prize–winners of the Student League will receive pleasant bonuses - preferential conditions for admission to master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities, as well as paid internships and internships in partner companies with the possibility of further employment.

It should be noted that the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". The organizers of the Championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica.
