YATEK has once again provided career opportunities to the participants of the CASE-IN championship

The final of the XIV season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in the field of "Oil and Gas business" has ended in Moscow. This is the sixth time that YATEK PJSC has become a strategic partner of the direction. The company's experts offered future engineers an author's case study on the current challenges of the gas industry development.

The new season of the championship was held under the general theme "Technologies of the future". According to the results of the selection, 16 teams entered the final stage, presenting the most powerful and well-developed solutions.

YATEK specialists participated in the expert work. During the qualifying stages and in the semi-finals, the projects were evaluated by Nikolay Timofeev, an expert from the personnel training and development department, and Igor Chikirkin, head of the gas production and condensate treatment department. In the final, YATEK was represented by Evgeny Ketov, Chairman of the jury, Head of Corporate Finance, and Igor Galin, Chief Specialist in Geology and Geophysics.

This year, the participants had to solve a new case from YATEK — "Monetization of gas without pipes." The focus turned to approaches to the efficient use of Yakutia's gas resources through the organization of data centers and other ways to monetize gas outside the traditional pipeline scheme. The high interest in the topic confirmed its relevance: 15 higher education institutions, 224 teams and more than 800 students took part in the work on the case.

"This is a significant project for us. Natural challenges make the topic especially interesting. YATEK is developing this project and integrating various solutions within the company. It is important for us to see the view from the outside and, perhaps, make new discoveries for ourselves – it is very useful"– said Igor Galin, Chief Specialist in Geology and geophysics.

As in previous years, YATEK's participation in the championship was not limited to expert work. As part of the combined career and thematic zone, the company organized an interactive space where participants walked through stations according to the itinerary, completed mini-tasks, answered quiz questions and received prizes. This format allowed students and young professionals to get to know YATEK's activities better, as well as to see the company as a potential place for practice, internship and further professional growth.

Lydia Timakova, Head of the Personnel Training and Development Department, Alina Ivanova, a leading specialist in personnel recruitment and adaptation, and Evgenia Guseva, Head of personnel recruitment and adaptation, also took part in the work of the YATEK site. Together with experts, they told the participants about career opportunities in the company, development directions, work in Yakutia and YATEK personnel programs.

The winners of the Oil and Gas Business tournament were GasFlow teams from the National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, the winners were Manifold Schwarzenegger from Almetyevsk State Technological University Higher School of Petroleum and Yin and Yang from the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

Following the results of the championship, the winning team again received a special prize from YATEK - "Journey to the gas heart of Yakutia". This award has already become a good tradition of the company's participation in the CASE-IN and gives future engineers the opportunity to see the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) with their own eyes and complete an internship at the company's production site.

"Our decision can be called the most reasonable from the point of view of technology, we also considered the economic component very carefully. We believe that the project is highly likely to be implemented", — the participants of the winning GasFlow team shared.

The organizers of the championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, the Astralogica company and the Presidential Platform Russia – the Land of Opportunities.
