Aide to the Head of Tatarstan and university rectors visit the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies

The meetings took place on 28 March. The tour was preceded and concluded by brief meetings at the Institute. In the beginning, Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev spoke about KFU and the Institute in detail. The guests then proceeded to the 3D Geo Center, as well as several laboratories – geomechanics; X-ray computed tomography; pertrophysics and physics of oil...

Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies presents new unit for pelletizing of gas hydrates

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...

KFU working on various hydrate formation promoters

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...

New data on sulfonated castor oil reveals potential in gas hydrate formation

A new paper appeared in Fuel. “Gas hydrates are solid crystalline substances resembling ice and consisting of gas and water molecules. Under conditions of high pressure and low temperature, gas molecules are contained within the cavities of the frameworks formed by water molecules. One volume of hydrate can hold about 160 volumes of gas. A promising method...
