The researchers have studied the geochemical composition and conditions of formation of Domanik deposits (Semiluksk horizon) in the Volga-Ural oil and gas province, which made it possible to determine their oil-generating properties. “Traditional oil reserves in our region are at a very late stage of development – they are close to exhaustion. In order to maintain the resource...

Boris Platov dedicated his course to modern methods of geophysical well logging, detailing the physical principles of their operation and geological interpretation of the data. Igor Ognev presented the...
Director of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies gave an interview to the KFU Media Communications Center before the new academic year. Vladimir Vladimirovich, many boys are interested in dinosaurs. Did your love for geology and paleontology also begin with them? V.S.: I was not interested in dinosaurs as a child. My love for geology was...
Heavy oil, with its high viscosity and complex composition, presents significant technological and economic challenges for the oil industry. Therefore, the development of new technologies to effectively change the rheological properties of heavy oil is a pertinent task for the oil and gas sector. One of the promising directions for solving this problem is the...
A paper saw light in Chemical Engineering Science. The latest series of inhibitors developed by scientists of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies of Kazan Federal University surpasses the most effective foreign analogs in terms of their target properties, and also shows a tendency to biological degradation in offshore conditions. Today the developed class of hydrate formation...
