International Cooperation Officer Yury Nurmeev was among those on a visit to the People’s Republic of China from 25 October till 4 November. He represented the university at various exhibitions and presentations, as well as visited local schools and universities. A traveling educational exhibition of Russian universities was opened in Shandong Province. KFU was presented there...
The conference was opened by Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev. He emphasized that this year's conference is marked by an important date: November 17 is the 190th anniversary of the birth of Nikolay Golovkinsky. The meeting took up 28 to 30 October. “Golovkinsky is the Einstein of geology, and these are not just fancy words,"...
The event was part of the Russian Energy Industry Conference in Moscow on 15 October. The Institute was represented by Danis Nurgaliev, Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences, Ildus Chukmarov, Deputy Director of IGPT for Marketing and Director of CdoGEO (Center for Advanced Training), and Vladislav Sudakov, Deputy Director of Gazpromneft-KFU Center for Marketing. Danis Nurgaliev told about the...
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...
From 7 to 12 October, chemists and industrial partners from around Russia gathered in Krasnodar Krai, including Chair of the Department of Petroleum Engineering Mikhail Varfolomeev and KFU's invited scholar, Professor of the Mexican Petroleum Institute Jorge Ancheyta. “I presented the results of catalytic aquathermolysis technology, which is fundamentally new and allows the conversion of heavy...
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 talks took place on 15 October. The Rector was joined by Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev and Chair of the Department of Petroleum Engineering Mikhail Varfolomeev. The parties discussed cooperation in specialized chemistry for the oil and gas industry. In particular, the main goal of joint work will be to increase the efficiency of specialized chemistry and optimize...
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...
The innovative product is going through the commercialization stage. IGPT scientists together with colleagues from the Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute have developed an innovative way to produce hydrogen from water using solar energy. “One of the main challenges in the hydrogen production process is its energy cost. Traditional hydrogen production methods, such as steam reforming of water or...
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...
