“OIL and GAS – 2020”

On February 29, 2020 the Branch of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas (National Research University) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent hosted the annual student scientific conference "Oil and Gas - 2020".

The process of integration of various levels and organizational forms of education, science and production is a trend that gradually covers all countries of the world, including Uzbekistan. And it is no coincidence that in recent years a lot has been said about creating forms that can combine scientific and educational potential. It is important to realize that the training of highly qualified specialists is not the task of a single educational institution, but of the entire educational system in close connection with production.

Since 2011, the Branch has been holding a student scientific conference dedicated to the “Gubkin’s Readings Day”. The Gubkin’s readings have been held at the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) in Moscow since 1947 and are devoted to the development of the ideas of the founder of the university, academician I.M. Gubkin in the field of oil and gas geology and geophysics.

The opening ceremony of the conference was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan and “Uzbekneftegaz” JSC, the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education, the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and Academicians of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Welcoming remarks opened the annual student scientific conference “Oil and Gas - 2020” made by the Deputy Director - Executive Director of the Branch of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent, Professor Abdulla Mahmudovich Magrupov. In his speech, it was noted that every year the interest of students to participate in this conference is increasing in connection with large-scale reforms taking place in our republic. The conference “Oil and Gas” is designed to unite students and representatives of the oil and gas industry around a common cause, thereby creating a field for the exchange of views, knowledge and mutual cooperation.

Professor Zakirov Bakhtiyor Sabirjanovich, director of the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, addressed young scientists and students with relevant words.

The students were greeted and wished good luck in research activities by the First Deputy Chairman of the Board of “Uztransgaz” JSC Shamsiev Jasur Kasimovich.

A distinctive feature of the conference this year was marked by the involvement of students of the academic lyceum and secondary schools in the organized "Pre-university section". For the first time, an organized Olympiad in physics, in which more than 100 students of schools and an academic lyceum took part, was a highlight in the Conference program. The results of the Olympiad will be presented after summing up the results.

The conference organized a plenary meeting and discussion of reports in 9 scientific sections, selected by the organizing committee of the conference.

We wish success to the conference participants!
