A new paper saw light in Fuel. Scientists have found that adding nickel sulfate intensifies the in-situ conversion of kerogen-containing domanik deposits and improves the quality of the resulting synthetic oil during hydrothermal treatment. "We achieved not only an increase in yield but also a significant reduction in the weight of synthetic oil under realistic hydrothermal processing...

Presenting the company, founded in 2023, its CEO noted that it is an engineering center of biotechnology, "The first product developed by...
Participants from Russia, Mexico, India, Bulgaria, Yemen, Kuwait, Chad, Algeria, Iraq, Egypt, and CIS countries gathered for a two-day event at Kazan Federal University, welcomed by Vice-Rector Danis Nurgaliev and Director of the Small Tonnage Chemical Technology Park Mikhail Varfolomeev. Dr Nurgaliev highlighted the event's focus on environmentally friendly and cost-effective methods for extracting hard-to-recover oil...
During a cross-university review of Kazan Federal University, experts from the SocioCenter, the operator of the largest state development programs in science and higher education in the Russian Federation, visited the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies. The cross-university review is being conducted at the initiative of the Russian Ministry Science and Higher Education to ensure...
The Congress was held as part of the Russian Industry Energy Conference in Moscow. The event was attended by Danis Nurgaliev, Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences; Ildus Chukmarov, Deputy Director for Continuing Education and Industrial Partnerships of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies; Vladislav Sudakov, Deputy Director for Marketing at the Gazpromneft-KFU Scientific and Educational Center; and Anastasia Yusupova, Senior...
ResNeuro is designed to localize residual oil reserves at fields in the late stages of development. The innovative method identifies areas of deposits with the lowest degree of hydrocarbon biodegradation, which is where residual oil reserves are most often found. The software suite was presented at the competition by young scientists Lead Engineer Vasilya Garifullina and...
The event, organized jointly with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Education Department of the Kazan Executive Committee, was attended by Danis Nurgaliev, Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences; Ruslan Ulengov, Chair of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Geographical and Environmental Education; Ilgizar Gaysin, Professor of the same...
The paper saw light in Scientific Visualization. The article presents a method developed by university geologists for predicting the gas permeability of carbonate rocks, based on X-ray microtomography data and machine learning. Using this method, the researchers analyzed standard core samples used in the oil and gas industry to evaluate reservoir properties. “Reservoir rocks are those that have...
