“The core extraction process itself is expensive and technically challenging. After a number of laboratory tests, the samples become unsuitable for further research, which significantly limits the possibility of conducting repeated analyses to study various aspects of fluid behavior inside the rock,” says Rail Kadyrov, Senior Researcher of the Laboratory of In-Situ Combustion. “We decided to find...
Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies and their overseas colleagues have studied the bottom sediments of Lake Shira in Khakassia, Russia, and found out how climatic and environmental conditions in the region have changed over 150 years. For this purpose, they conducted a number of geochemical, isotopic, magnetic, seismo-acoustic and radiocarbon studies of...
The delegation included representatives of Norilskgazprom - Artyom Ganin, Head of the Gas Recovery Enhancement and Well Workover Department, and Yerali Kanlybaev, Head of the Engineering and Technological Section of said department; Ramil Bariev, Head of the Business Opportunities Management Division of Nefteservice Solutions LLC; and employees of Gazpromneft STC LLC - Product Development Project...
The scientific team of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies of Kazan Federal University presented a unique development - an integrated method of calculation and reorganization of asphaltene structures in oil disperse systems under the influence of low-frequency acoustic waves of five kHz. The paper saw light in Neftegaz.RU. According to leading experts in the field...
Experts from Kazan University, together with colleagues from the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian State University of Oil and Gas, have created the first installation in Russia for the rapid production and pressing of gas hydrates. Its use will make it possible to...
Rais (Head) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov presided over the meeting. Among the participants were Rector of KFU Lenar Safin, President of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences Rifkat Minnikhanov, Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev, and board members. “The Year of Scientific and Technological Development in Tatarstan has drawn a symbolic line under the completion of the Science and Universities National Project....
Kazan Federal University ranks 6th in the nation. The top 100 scientific papers of 2024 prepared by Russian researchers include 6 articles by scientists from Kazan Federal University. The list of original scientific publications by Russian authors published in journals with the highest impact factor (IF) last year was prepared by the CoLab project participants together with...
Scientists have synthesized a new surfactant containing sulfonate, amide and carboxyl groups (SSAC). The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Hydrate Technologies of Utilization and Storage of Greenhouse Gases with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia. Today, one of the most promising methods of natural gas storage and transportation...
Employees of the Shell Mechanics Laboratory of the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics and the X-ray and Computed Tomography Laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies have created an innovative system for sample loading. This device, which has no domestic competitors, is designed to control physical and mechanical properties of materials, which is especially...
Aquathermolysis catalysts and solvents that can produce hydrogen at elevated temperatures are promising agents for improving the efficiency of oil production using water vapor injection technologies. The aquathermolysis process can reduce the viscosity of heavy crude oil and its sulfur content. In recent years, it has been used for industrial purposes to extract and partially refine...
