Rospan employees joined the expert commission of the CASE-IN championship

Five representatives of JSC ROSPAN INTERNATIONAL, a subsidiary of PJSC NK Rosneft, participated in the work of the expert commission of the qualifying round of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which started in February. He became the legal successor of the All-Russian Mining Case Solving Championship and the All-Russian Fuel and Energy Case Solving Championship.

Head of the Department of Geology Igor Tikhomirov Natalia Boyarskikh, the head of the youth policy group, represented Rospan at St. Petersburg Mining University. Senior Research Manager Alexander Lomukhin He evaluated the work of the contestants at the National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University. Deputy General Director – Chief Geologist Alexey Snokhin He worked as a member of the jury at Tyumen Industrial University, and was the head of the Field Development Department. Sergey Romashkin Participated in the expert commission at the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas.

As part of the federal case championship, students from prestigious universities in Russia and neighboring countries solve engineering cases: practical tasks based on real-world production situations in companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

For example, the participants had to analyze the conditions of the Snezhnoye field, assess hydrocarbon reserves, and propose an effective development system and technology for oil and gas production. They also had to justify the drilling scheme of the field, perform calculations of production profiles for all selected development sites, substantiating the initial production rates, drop rates, selection rates, pressure maintenance systems, and identify factors affecting the development. Then they had to propose an effective technology for collecting and transporting the extracted hydrocarbons, provide a timetable for the implementation of the proposed measures, cost structure, investment volume and suggest sources of financing, and evaluate the KPIs of the project.

An interesting and rather complex project required a comprehensive approach from the students, but they coped with the task.

All areas of the championship this year are united by the common theme "Arctic Development". During the qualifying stages, several thousand students from more than 50 universities compete in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, and electric power industry. According to the regulations, the participants had to solve an engineering case on a specific topic in ten days and defend their projects before an expert commission.

"I believe that all the contestants have already won, because they took on a non-standard task, adequately designed and defended their solutions. Of course, the work of the teams participating in the competition for several years is characterized by a higher level of performance. But all participants demonstrate high potential.", – says A.Lomukhin.

The final of the championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May. The best engineering student teams will have the opportunity to complete internships at leading industry companies.

As reported "Uralinform Bureau"according to the press service of ROSPAN INTERNATIONAL, it has already become a tradition to organize events that help attract highly educated, talented, promising young people from among the students of the country's leading technical universities to the company. These include field meetings, business assessment games, and scientific, technical, and scientific-practical conferences. The latter are particularly effective, serving as an excellent launching pad for students and giving them the opportunity to reach their potential, generate fresh ideas and projects, and see themselves in their future profession.

"For employers, such events are an excellent platform for selecting future specialists who can think outside the box and are focused on solving actual practical tasks.", – noted N.Boyarskikh.
