According to the official website of the Russian Science Foundation, Kazanian scientists managed to find out that acetates - salts of acetic acid with transition metals - in combination with steam treatment reduce the viscosity of heavy oil by 58%. This approach was 19% more...
Cleaning of soil and artificial reservoirs from Phragmites reed overgrowth and rational utilization can reduce the environmental burden. At the same time, the newly formed biomass creates additional problems of environmental pollution, especially in regions with intensive agricultural activity. The problem of finding rational ways of qualified utilization of biomass, in particular, of common reed...
The main disadvantage of currently existing technologies for bioethanol production using live microorganisms is the need for mandatory pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstock to remove lignin. Nevertheless, there is no information on the complex technology of grape cake processing with obtaining biofuel (BTII) and products of high feed value, aimed at reducing the cost of the...
They are intended for in-situ combustion. The technology of in-situ combustion for heavy oil production has great potential compared to other thermal methods of enhanced oil recovery, including steam injection, because it can be used for fields with different depths. However, there are a number of technological challenges affecting the efficiency of its application. One of...
She contributed to the event held on 5 - 7 March. The conference included plenary sessions, roundtables, and an exhibition. The topic of the conference is especially relevant at the present time. The oil and gas industry faces new challenges and opportunities in water resource management. Sustainable growth requires a holistic approach that combines operational efficiency,...
The meeting was headed by Rais (Governor) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and featured Prime Minister of Tatarstan Aleksey Pesoshin. The University was represented by Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev and Chief Research Associate, Professor Alexander Lamberov. Dr Lamberov presented innovations in heterogeneous catalysts, plasmochemical destruction of medical waste, utilization of dangerous waste, composite water reservoirs, and cybersecurity...
Senior Research Associate Irek Mukhamatdinov, winner of the 2023 Russian Presidential Award for Science and Technology, gave an interview to the National Projects of Russia YouTube channel. Here is a full transcript. -- Is it true that oil comes from dinosaurs? -- There are two theories of the origins of oil - organic and inorganic. Dmitry Mendeleev...
The team comprises employees of Kazan Federal University, the Institute of Earth Physics (Russian Academy of Sciences), and Tatneft, one of Russia’s biggest oil companies. The ceremony was held on 2 February in Kazan Kremlin and featured Rais (Governor) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. Two awardees represent the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies – Senior Research Associate Eduard Ziganshin (Laboratory...
Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies of Kazan Federal University have solved the problem of stabilizing catalysts in water, significantly increasing economic efficiency. The development is planned to be applied at the Ashalchi field in Tatarstan. Today, unconventional oil recovery requires technologies characterized by high efficiency in terms of both productivity and minimal...
