Employees of the Laboratory of In-Situ Combustion of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies of Kazan Federal University have developed a catalyst based on salts of weak acids to increase the efficiency of heavy oil production. The main difficulty that oil companies face when developing such oil is its high viscosity, due to the high...
A peptizer for the upgrading of heavy oil, developed by the staff of the In-Situ Combustion Laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies of the Kazan Federal University, has been tested at one of the fields of the RITEK-Samara-Nafta territorial production enterprise. “We have synthesized new heat-resistant surfactants based on medium-molecular polyglycols (polyethylene glycol...
The region includes 14 of 43 municipal districts of Tatarstan, including the second biggest city of the province, Naberezhnye Chelny, and other important centers, primarily of the oil industry. "Eastern Trans-Kama is noted by active tectonics, complex landscapes, and intense denudative destruction. Alluvial sediments are omnipresent. That's why the territory is known for karst and suffusion...
The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education pledges to allocate 250 million rubles in the next two years for the project. A total of 228 applications were submitted for the competition, which was held with the aim of forming a scientific infrastructure for research and development in priority areas of scientific and technological development, of...
“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...
