The Laboratory of Hydrate Technologies for Greenhouse Gas Storage and Utilization has developed a laboratory complex that can produce, press, and test gas hydrates, as well as manage the process of gas extraction from them. Ahead of Inventor and Innovator Day, celebrated on June 27, we spoke with the creator of this scientific complex, Matvey Semyonov,...
A castor oil-based biopromoter developed by researchers at the Laboratory of Hydrate Technologies for Greenhouse Gas Utilization and Storage at the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies allows for the long-term stabilization of associated petroleum gas hydrate granules. “Billions of cubic meters of associated petroleum gas are flared annually in oil-producing regions – this is both...
The Peking University delegation visited on 27th and 28th May. Importantly, a week ago, President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin officially launched the China-Russia Mutual Years of Educational Cooperation in 2026 and 2027. The Peking University group comprised Deputy Dean of the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences of Shen Bing, Professor Zhang Bo, and PhD student Yelizaveta Grigoryeva; they were joined by...
Gas hydrates look like ordinary snow or ice, but they burn readily. This is due to gas molecules securely "packed" within a crystal lattice composed of water molecules. These compounds form at high pressure and low temperature and have great potential as containers for the safe storage and transportation of methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide....
The new paper describes promoters of hydrate formation based on amino acids and gluconic acid. Shamil Gainullin, a junior research associate at the Laboratory of Hydrate Technologies for Greenhouse Gas Utilization and Storage, discussed the advantages of storing and transporting natural gas as gas hydrates and a new "growth stimulator" developed at KFU for these solid,...
Abdolreza Farhadian, a senior researcher at the Research Laboratory of Hydrate Technologies for Greenhouse Gas Utilization and Storage and associate professor in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technology, was named the laureate of the Khorezmi Youth Prize and the World Intellectual Property Organization National Prize. The award ceremony took...
Sofya Sitdikova, student of complex data analysis in geosciences, and Almaz Murtazin, student of petroleum engineering, are both enrolled in English-language programs. "After receiving a bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering, I decided that I wanted to specialized in geophysical data interpretation and geological and hydrodynamic modeling of hydrocarbon deposits. Having an opportunity to study abroad was...
His plenary report Research of Hydrate Formation of Associated Petroleum Gas was featured at the big event dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The researcher shed light on the influence of promoters on the hydrate formation process. "A significant portion of associated...
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 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...
