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...
The implementation of this project is aimed at developing a progressive technology for production of improved bituminous binders based on domestic petrochemical sources of raw materials. Efficient production technology, product quality and its transportation determine high economic efficiency of the project. The proposed technology consists in the development of a catalytic complex, with the help of...
Scientists John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton are recognized “for fundamental discoveries and inventions” that enable machine learning using artificial neural networks. The methods they developed formed the basis for the creation of machine learning algorithms. “The awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics this year is a vivid demonstration of the role of fundamental physics in the...
The Department of Oil, Gas and Carbon Materials Technology of the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies presented unique digital software products aimed at in-depth study and modeling of wave processes affecting the viscosity and permeability of oil reservoirs. The software solutions developed at Kazan Federal University have significant potential for implementation in the...
To scale, design and optimize oil production, scientists from Kazan Federal University together with Zarubezhneft were the first to develop a kinetic model of catalytic aquathermolysis using a water-soluble nickel-based catalyst. The water-soluble catalysts demonstrate efficiency in reducing the viscosity of bituminous oil and can be used in the field with lower costs. Their application allows...
