In the process of training, students profoundly study the main types and designs of devices used in technological processes of oil and gas processing, make calculations and selection of the main processing equipment with the account of the required performance, material properties and operating conditions. Students master the skills in analytical and numerical methods of mathematical modeling; develop mathematical models of machinery, equipment, systems, and technology of oil and gas processing; study the methodology of modernization and technical re-equipment of distillation systems of oil refineries and petrochemical enterprises, characteristic mathematical models and algorithms used to describe processes and objects related to their professional sphere. An integral part of the training is the development of original methods and the organization of in-situ and numerical testing on the instrumental and industrial optimization of oil and gas processing and petrochemical processes with the analysis of their outcomes.
Gaining experience in real production in practical training at the largest Russian enterprises: Gazprom, SIBUR Holding, NOVATEK (Novatek-Yurkharovneftegaz, Novatek-Purovsky ZPK), LUKOIL Oil Company, Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat, KINEF, RN-Tuapse Refinery, Nyagangazpererabotka, Novokuibyshevsk Refinery, Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy, etc.;
opportunity to prove professional and personal capacities during the internship with the prospects of further employment;
Opportunity to be actively involved in the implementation of research projects under the guidance of the best specialists of the department, in order to develop their own methods and organization of in-situ and numerical testing on the instrumental and industrial optimization of oil and gas processing and petrochemical processes, with the analysis of their outcomes;
Opportunity to gain practical experience with the equipment based on large-scale pilot plants in the laboratories of the department;
Testing the results of research activities in scientific and technical reports, reviews, publications in journals reviewed by SCOPUS, journals included in the list of HAC of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation;
Prospects of inclusive education at the University of Mining Leoben (Austria) and other partner universities in the Erasmus+ program;
Prospects to study at the Lappeenranta University of Technology in a dual education program;
The specialization offers education in a highly demanded sphere with attractive wage levels in a wide range of industries.
