An irreplaceable experience

For all the experts who took part in the forum, the Russian Energy Week became an important and memorable event, an opportunity to learn about the prospects for the development of the industry, and share their accumulated experience with colleagues from other regions and countries. This summer, Volgograd Lukoil employees have already participated in the regional stage of the Brighter Together festival, during which they told the residents of the city about the work of their enterprises and the best energy saving practices. Now they have the opportunity to share them with students of higher education institutions from all over Russia.

Participation in the Russian Energy Week is an opportunity to share experiences at the international level, a real chance to communicate with colleagues not only from different regions of Russia, but also from other countries., — notes Energy engineer of the 1st category of oil and gas production workshop No. 2 "Zhirnovsky" Volgogradneftegaz CCI, RITEK LLC Andrey Vinokurov.

— A huge number of interesting people came to the forum, there were many interesting sessions, seminars, competitions. It was very interesting to watch the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", where young specialists competed in their professional knowledge and skills. In the pavilion of the Russian government, my colleagues and I from VNPZ were able to participate in the intellectual game of young specialists "BOOMS". Interestingly, the quiz was held in a multimedia format — we answered questions related to the field of energy and oil refining that pop up on the screens of our smartphones. Useful and exciting!— I think it's great that such an event has been held in Russia for several years. I am glad that our government has been working with young people and trying to attract them to the promising field of energy literally since they were at school. This is a great example for all the companies whose representatives attended the forum., — tells Alexandra Andronova, 2nd category Specialist in the Human Resources Department of LUKOIL Accounting Center LLC.

— We participated in several sections and learned a lot about forming links with educational institutions and the experience of other enterprises in holding Open Days. We will definitely put this knowledge into practice.— By participating in the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week, we had a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the projects of large energy companies, attend interactive sessions and even attend a meeting "without ties" with the Minister of Energy., — tells electrician for maintenance of electrical equipment at Volzhskaya CHPP LLC "Volzhsky Thermal Generation" Lev Gubanov. — We also managed to visit the interactive pavilion "Oil" from PJSC LUKOIL at VDNH, which clearly shows the full production cycle — from oil production to its refining and sale, information about the history and modern achievements of oil refining. And all this is in multimedia form. I think the trip was very productive, we learned a lot about our native industry and noticed a lot of interesting ideas. Thank you for the opportunity to become a part of the history of energy development!
