THE TYUMEN OBLAST.

Leading Russian oil and gas universities will jointly train specialists for oil and gas companies in Russia. Through joining their efforts by 2018 the Tyumen State Oil and Gas University, the Ufa State Oil technical University, and the Ukhta State Technical University will completely satisfy subsoil users' staff demands.

The Tyumen University will become the centre for the establishment and introduction of technologies ensuring successful development of new oilfields. It is also planned to establish twelve science and education centres.

The Tyumen University informed RusBusinessNews that due to the development of the permafrost territories the conditions for oil and gas extraction are getting harder every year. The majority of geotechnical systems failures is happening doe to the negative impact by permafrost formations. Exploration, production, and transportation of hydrocarbons and water in the Northern latitudes and in permafrost areas is a technological challenge not only for Russian, but for multinational companies as well.
