Geology of gas and oil: features of training, faculties and reviews

In applied geology, there is a section that studies clusters and the formation of hydrocarbons in the bowels to scientifically justify forecasts of the volume of deposits and choose methods for their exploration, determine the development mode. And all this useful activity is in the field of geology of gas and oil. Many older schoolchildren consider the geologist's profession as promising, and therefore they are trying to find an educational institution that will best introduce them into the course of the matter. This article will tell you about the most promising higher education institutions of this profile, as well as about the profession itself.

Tasks

The tasks of the geology of gas and oil are everything related to the study of hydrocarbons, their material composition, the host rocks (which is adjacent to geochemistry), the forms of occurrence, the associated waters, the conditions in which they form and collapse, the patterns of location of deposits and deposits in the spatio-temporal Plan, as well as their genesis. The main object of study is the formation and accumulation of hydrocarbons.

The geology of gas and oil as a science was born in the early twentieth century, as it became extremely popular: an internal combustion engine was invented that needed hydrocarbons for food, and it began to spread around the world literally in geometric progression. Machines and mechanisms, cars and planes demanded more gasoline and kerosene, which means more oil. It took only a couple of decades for the geology of gas and oil to accumulate sufficient experience and generalize the methods of prospecting.

Ufa

For those who are not very interested in theories and observations, how hydrocarbon gas bubbles appear on the level of the mineral, how liquid drops accumulate along the drop and solid hydrocarbons or films enveloping mineral or polymineral grains form in crystals, it is better to immediately go to the Ufa Training Center "Gas Oil technology "in order to quickly and efficiently master practical work. Other people will study the general geology, geology of oil and gas in order to consider the pedigree, epigonous, lithospheric levels with dispersed and concentrated clusters, explore deposits and deposits, oil and gas basins and zones, belts and nodes.

This is an interesting, but too long training, according to students. In Ufa it is possible to acquire specialties in the field of geology of gas and oil the most diverse: drilling, well work, special equipment, oil and gas production, processing and processing, labor protection and lifting facilities, environmental and industrial safety, Economy and thermal power plants, choose a profession in the field of electrical safety or road safety. All this applies to the geology of oil and gas.

Moscow

Russian State University of Oil and Gas. Gubkin was honored to be not only a national research university, but also a flagship - the head university of the oil and gas education system in the Russian Federation.

There are other universities of oil-gas geology, but the flagship is one. "Gubkinites" know everywhere and they highly appreciate. It would be possible to tell for a long time how wonderful geology and geophysics of oil and gas are taught here, but in a short article it is difficult to cover even the most important thing.

Programs

There are seven programs at the faculty of engineering mechanics, six programs in automation and computer technology, four in correspondence and evening education, four at the faculty of ecology and chemical technology, and four at the faculty for the development of gas and oil fields. Three students study at the Faculty of Management and Economics, two at the Faculty of Pipeline Transport, and another three at the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics of Oil and Gas ...

Even just listing all this is problematic. They even study the international energy business at a separate faculty under two programs. It is impossible to tell about all the features of teaching, and therefore it will be a museum complex, which also has a teaching function, and it dominates its main activity.

The Museum

In the museum complex there are eight exposition areas, the most interesting of them are the Nametkin Oil Chemistry Museum and the Hall of Labor Glory, dedicated to the gas and oil industries. Here, literally step by step, you can trace the history of the entire oil and gas industry. It is at these stands that the student is imbued with a sense of the importance of the chosen profession, and, most importantly, the correctness of his choice.

Here, a value attitude to the native institution of higher education is formed, and the fundamentals of the geology of oil and gas already laid in the course of training will certainly require replenishment of knowledge, skills and skills. Together with professional aspirations, the museum evokes historical self-awareness, patriotism, corporate spirit and pride in belonging to the wonderful family of "Gubkinites", which is noted in their reviews and students.

Samara

In Samara State Polytechnic University there is an oil-technological faculty, and in its structure there is a department of geology and geophysics, where 23 teachers work, including 10 candidates and doctors of sciences. Here expanse for future researchers, they already at the student's bench know what the geology of oil and gas fields is, as they study the lithology of oil and gas bearing strata.

The direction of training is applied geology (according to the profile), and in five years the graduate will receive the qualification of a specialist. There is also a graduate school where the geology of oil and gas is studied more deeply. The faculty cooperates with a number of organizations and industrial enterprises, where students undergo practical training and most often after graduating from the university they continue to work.

Where to work graduates

These are OAO Samaraneftegeofizika, OOO Sterkh, Samara NIPINeft, Samaraneftegaz and other equally well-established enterprises. Almost all graduates receive the oil professions that are in demand, and there are more than 170, after which they successfully work in foreign and Russian companies, where the geology of oil and gas fields is used.

Specialties are extremely interesting, students note that they study with pleasure, and therefore - well. A lot of graduates have settled in the basic institutes of SNIIGGiMS and the SB RAS, in Rosneft, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Total, Schlumberger, Petrobras and similar companies. Admissions Committee of SamSTU is located in Samara on Pervomaiskaya Street, house 18.

Tyumen

The Tyumen State Oil and Gas University also has a department called "Geology of Oil and Gas." Here, future mining engineers are trained, who participate in geological exploration, prospecting, research and design work related to oil and gas.

They analyze and control the entire process of developing the deposit, assess the reserves and resources of the underlying minerals, study the rocks and collectors of gas and oil, and even recreate those ancient conditions in which the oil and gas basins were formed. They also determine the technology of work and mining, and drilling.

The Institute

Special disciplines are studied here - tectonics, structural geology, oil and gas field geology, geology and geochemistry of gas and oil, general geology, oil and gas geology, field geophysics, geophysical methods of well research, reserves estimation, resource estimation, computer geological modeling and much, much more. yet. In the laboratories technically well equipped, real production conditions were created.

The Institute of Oil and Gas Geology (now IGiN, Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Production) is the largest subdivision of the university, the most modern and with the most complete material base. There are 8 departments and more than 7 thousand students. The programs are most in demand, and in the teaching building there are 3 academicians, 63 doctors of sciences and a lot of candidates.

Khanty-Mansiysk

Here is the famous Ugra State University, which absorbed many educational institutions of the oil and gas production profile, among them not only the higher ones. In its structure there are 5 branches - oil technical schools: Langepas, Lyantorsk, Nefteyugansk, Nizhnevartovsk and Surgut. These territories are the richest in hydrocarbons, and therefore there should be many training institutions for training specialists.

At the Department of Oil and Gas Business, you can study the following profiles:

• Maintenance and operation of oil production facilities.
• Maintenance and operation of technological facilities in oil and gas production.

Specialization

Graduates who have mastered the bachelor's program are engaged in:

• Technique and technology of construction, repair, restoration and reconstruction of gas and oil wells at sea and on land.
• Technology and technology for the regulation of hydrocarbon extraction and field control.
• The technology and technology of pipeline transport of gas and oil, as well as underground storage of hydrocarbons.
• The technology and technology of marketing and storage of oil, liquefied gases and petroleum products.
• Equipment and tools for repair, construction, restoration and reconstruction of gas and oil wells at sea and on land.
• Technological processes of repair, construction, restoration and reconstruction of gas and oil wells.
• Equipment for gas and oil production, preparation and collection of downhole products at sea and on land.
• Technological processes of oil and gas production.
• Equipment for field control during the extraction of hydrocarbons.
• Equipment for pipeline transport of gas and oil, gas storage (underground including).
• Equipment for the sale and storage of oil, gases (liquefied, including) and petroleum products.
• Technical, technological and regulatory documentation.

You can learn both internally and in absentia, which from the positive side students note. They are practiced in the oil companies of Yugra (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area): OOO Gazpromneft-Khantos, Surgutneftegaz, RN-Yuganskneftegaz and others.

"Oil Museum"

In Khanty-Mansiysk, the only museum accessible to all is the geology of oil and gas. Here it is possible to know for certain and in all details the history of development of Western Siberia in the field of gas and oil production. Collections of samples of minerals are unique and richest. There are more than 35 thousand items! And it is unlikely that in another place a person who is not in any way related to the oil and gas production profession can get to know closely the techniques used by oil and geologists.

The building itself in the architectural plan is absolutely unique. The building is very similar to the druze of quartz (according to legend, quartz has always been a symbol of wealth in the local peoples). And inside there is a lot of interesting things. But most importantly - thanks to the scientific and methodological center of the museum, there is a constant coordination with the museums of the entire Autonomous Okrug, replenish the exposition, train the staff.
