Seminar on gas-enhanced oil recovery hosted by the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies
The Center for Liquid Hydrocarbons organized the event on 21 December.
Over 70 participants joined from Russia, Serbia, and Oman.
They were greeted by Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev, “The idea of the seminar was born while working on projects with the Center. Our scientists, investigating the possibilities of gas-enhanced recovery methods, have made some interesting developments that can find their application in oil and gas companies. The subject of the seminar is relevant and multifaceted, as gas methods solve several problems: oil recovery enhancement, utilization of carbon dioxide and associated petroleum gas. I hope that based on the results of the conference, the participants will be able to exchange experience and get new solutions in this field.”
Deputy Director of the Institute for Marketing, Director of the Center for Advanced Training Ildus Chukmarov invited everyone to short courses and professional training, “CdoGEO implements hundreds of programs in the most relevant areas – geology, oil and gas engineering, geophysics, geodesy, metrology, surveying. In 2020, our Center joined the unique programs dedicated to improving the efficiency of field development and methods of increasing oil recovery. We also opened the Green Energy Transition and Hydrocarbon Footprint Compensation Knowledge Center, implementing programs to reduce the carbon footprint. In 2023, we trained 1,500 people from 250 companies. We invite you for further training and retraining and to co-create video tutorials.”
Chair of the Department of Petroleum Engineering Mikhail Varfolomeev spoke about the Center for Liquid Hydrocarbons’ main results, “Enhanced oil recovery techniques are one of the Center’s three areas of focus. This seminar is dedicated to gas MORs, as the topic is becoming more and more popular as it addresses the issues of enhanced oil recovery and utilization of greenhouse gases”
The seminar featured lively discussions and ended with a roundtable and a tour of the Center for Liquid Hydrocarbons’ laboratories.
