Department of Oil and Gas Engineering

Department of Oil and Gas Engineering was officially opened on May 14, 2007. It has become the youngest department of the School of Subsurface Resource Management. Highly qualified teaching staff and urgent need of production organizations for oil and gas industry graduates allowed the department to successfully develop as an independent structural subdivision. In addition, a modern Drill Fluid and Well Casing Lab was created on the basis of the Department. The lab is designed for lectures, practical and laboratory classes, as well as for practical training of first-year students. The INRTU Oil and Gas Training Center for training was established for retraining and advanced training of oil and gas industry specialists. It has become a modern technical base for training and practical coaching of oil and gas enterprises of the East-Siberian region. Today, the Department of Oil and Gas is the only department in Eastern Siberia that trains specialists of undergraduate programs in Deep Drilling for the Oil and Gas Production Industry. The founder and permanent head of the department, scientific supervisor and director of the Drill Fluid and Well Casing Lab is Nikolay Buglov, PhD in Technical Sciences, Associate Professor, Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
