In applied geology, there is a section that studies the accumulation and formation of hydrocarbons in the depths in order to scientifically substantiate forecasts regarding the volume of deposits and choose methods for their exploration, determine the development mode. And all this useful activity is in the field of gas and oil geology. Many older students consider the profession of a petroleum geologist to be promising, and therefore they are trying to find an educational institution that will best bring them up to date. This article will talk about the most promising higher educational institutions of this profile, as well as about the profession itself.
Tasks
The tasks of gas and oil geology are everything related to the study of hydrocarbons, their material composition, host rocks (which is adjacent to geochemistry), occurrence forms, accompanying waters, conditions in which they are formed and destroyed, regularities in the placement of deposits and deposits in spatio-temporal terms, as well as their genesis. The main object of study is education andaccumulations of hydrocarbons.
Geology of gas and oil as a science was born at the beginning of the twentieth century, as it became extremely popular: the internal combustion engine was invented, which needed hydrocarbons to power, and it began to spread around the world literally exponentially. Machines and mechanisms, cars and planes demanded more and more gasoline and kerosene, which means more oil. It took only a couple of decades for the geology of gas and oil to accumulate sufficient experience and generalize the methods of prospecting.
Ufa
For those who are not very interested in theories and observations of how hydrocarbon gas bubbles appear at the level of a mineral, how liquid hydrocarbons accumulate drop by drop and solid hydrocarbons or films are formed in crystals that envelop mineral or polymineral grains, it is better for them to immediately go to Ufa Training Center "Gas-Oil-Technologies" in order to quickly and efficiently master the practical business. Other people will study general geology, oil and gas geology, to consider rock, suprarock, lithospheric levels with scattered and concentrated accumulations, explore deposits and deposits, oil and gas bearing basins and zones, belts and knots.
This is an interesting but too long study according to the students. In Ufa, you can acquire a wide variety of speci alties in the field of gas and oil geology: drilling, well repair, special equipment, production, preparation and processing of oil and gas, labor protection and lifting facilities, environmental and industrial safety, studygas economy and thermal power plants, choose a profession in the field of electrical safety or road safety. All this applies to the geology of oil and gas.

Moscow
Russian State University of Oil and Gas. Gubkin had the honor of being not onlynational research university, but also the flagship - the head university of the oil and gas education system in the Russian Federation.
There are other universities of oil and gas geology, but the flagship is one. The "Gubkintsy" are known everywhere and highly valued. One could talk for a long time about how wonderful geology and geophysics of oil and gas are taught here, but it is difficult to cover even the most important thing in a small article.
Programs
- also four. Students of the Faculty of Management and Economics are studying in three programs, in two - at the Faculty of Pipeline Transport, again in three programs the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics of Oil and Gas is working …
Even just listing all this is problematic. Here they even study international energy business at a separate faculty in two programs. It is impossible to talk about all the features of education, and therefore we will talk about the museum complex, which also has a teaching function, and it dominates its main activity.
Museum
The museum complex has eight exhibition sites, the most interesting of which are the Nametkin Museum of Petroleum Chemistry and the Hall of Labor Glory dedicated to the gas and oil industry. Hereliterally step by step, you can trace the history of the formation of the entire oil and gas industry. It is at these stands that the student is imbued with a sense of the importance of the chosen profession, and most importantly - the correctness of his choice.
Here, a value attitude to the native university is formed, and the foundations of oil and gas geology already laid in the process of learning will certainly require replenishment of knowledge, skills and abilities. Along with professional aspirations, the museum awakens historical self-awareness, patriotism, corporate spirit and pride in belonging to the wonderful Gubkin family, which students also note in their reviews.
Samara
At the Samara State Polytechnic University there is an oil technology faculty, and it includes the Department of Geology and Geophysics, where 23 teachers work, including 10 candidates and doctors of science. Here is expanse for future researchers, they already on the student bench know what the geology of oil and gas fields is, as they study the lithology of oil and gas bearing strata.
The direction of training is applied geology (according to the profile), and in five years the graduate will receive the qualification of a specialist. There is also a postgraduate course, where the geology of oil and gas is studied in more depth. The faculty cooperates with a number of organizations and industrial enterprises, where students have practical training and most often stay to work after graduation.
Where to work for graduates
This is OAO Samaraneftegeofizika, LLC"Sterkh", "Samara NIPINEft" LLC, "Samaraneftegaz" OJSC and other equally solid enterprises. Almost all graduates receive oil professions that are in demand by the time, and there are more than 170 of them, after which they successfully work in foreign and Russian companies where the geology of oil and gas fields is applied.
These speci alties are extremely interesting, students note that they study with pleasure, and therefore - well. A lot of graduates got jobs at the basic institutes of SNIIGGiMS and the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, at Rosneft, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Total, Schlumberger, Petrobras and similar companies. The admission committee of Samara State Technical University is located in Samara on Pervomayskaya street, house 18.
Tyumen
Tyumen State Oil and Gas University also has a department called "Oil and Gas Geology". Here, future mining engineers are trained, who are involved in geological exploration, prospecting, research and design work related to oil and gas.
They analyze and control the entire process of field development, assess the reserves and resources of the underlying minerals, study the rocks and reservoirs of gas and oil, they can even recreate the ancient conditions in which oil and gas basins were formed. They also determine the technology of both mining and drilling.
Institute
Special disciplines are also studied here - tectonics, structural geology,oil and gas geology, geology and geochemistry of gas and oil, general geology, geology of oil and gas, field geophysics, geophysical methods of well exploration, reserves calculation, resource estimation, computer geological modeling and much, much more. In laboratories, technically well equipped, real production conditions have been created.
Institute of Geology of Oil and Gas (now - IGiN, Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Production) is the largest subdivision of the university, the most modern and with the most complete material base. There are 8 departments and more than 7 thousand students. The programs are the most in demand, and there are 3 academicians, 63 doctors of sciences and many candidates in the teaching corps.
Khanty-Mansiysk
Here is the famous Yugra State University, which has absorbed many educational institutions of the oil and gas profile, and among them not only the highest. In its structure there are 5 branches - oil technical schools: Langepassky, Lyantorsky, Nefteyugansky, Nizhnevartovsky and Surgutsky. These territories are the richest in hydrocarbons, and therefore there should be many educational institutions for training specialists.
At the department of oil and gas business, you can study according to profiles:
- Maintenance and operation of oil production facilities.
- Maintenance and operation of technological facilities in oil and gas production.
Specialization
Bachelor's degree graduates do:
- Technology andtechnology for the construction, repair, restoration and reconstruction of gas and oil wells at sea and on land.
- Technique and technology for regulating hydrocarbon recovery and field control.
- Equipment and technology for pipeline transportation of gas and oil, as well as underground storage of hydrocarbons.
- Equipment and technology for the marketing and storage of oil, liquefied gases and petroleum products.

- Technological processes of repair, construction, restoration and reconstruction of gas and oil wells.
- Equipment for gas and oil production, preparation and collection of well products offshore and onshore.
- Technological processes of oil and gas production.
- Equipment for field control during the extraction of hydrocarbons.
- Equipment for pipeline transportation of gas and oil, gas storage (including underground).
- Equipment for marketing and storage of oil, gases (including liquefied) and petroleum products.
- Technical, technological and regulatory documentation.
You can study both full-time and part-time, which is positively noted by students. They do practical training in the oil companies of Yugra (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug): Gazpromneft-Khantos LLC, Surgutneftegaz OJSC, RN-Yuganskneftegaz LLC and others.
"Oil" Museum
In Khanty-Mansiysk, the only museum of oil and gas geology accessible to all. Here you can learn for certain and in all details the history of the development of Western Siberia in the field of gas and oil production. The collections of mineral samples are unique and richest. There are more than 35 thousand items of storage! And it is unlikely that in any other place a person who is in no way related to the oil and gas profession can become closely acquainted with the equipment used by oilmen and geologists.
The building itself is architecturally unique. The building is very similar to a druze of quartz (according to legend, quartz has always been a symbol of we alth among the local peoples). And inside there are a lot of interesting things. But most importantly, thanks to the scientific and methodological center of the museum, there is constant coordination with the museums of the entire Autonomous Okrug, expositions are replenished, employees are trained.
