The leading up-to-date industrial companies require highly qualified specialists with comprehensive professional skills and competences for solving complex operational problems. Such problems cannot be solved without an interdisciplinary approach. However, many specialists lack the experience to work in a cross-functional team. Gubkin University ha...

A finite volume based method to govern mass transfer of a diluted transition component across moving fluid-fluid interfaces is presented. The concentration jump at the interface is described by a constant distribution coefficient, while Marangoni effects and volume changes due to mass transfer are neglected. The interface position is captured by me...

This study provides a comprehensive, updated, and refined analysis of the challenges and opportunities for Russian natural gas exports based on recent statistical data, academic publications, and media sources. The paper addresses the lack of continuity in studies within the topic since the recent changes are not reflected well enough in the curren...

On April 17 2020 National University of Oil and Gas “Gubkin University” celebrates 90th anniversary. The article shows that all these years the University has been strictly following the principles formulated by the founder of the university, academician Ivan Gubkin. The most important of them are the following. The University is the leader of dome...

The global energy system is experiencing a transformation. An analysis of the dynamics of global energy production and consumption indicates that a paradigm shift is occurring toward more reliable and sustainable energy sources with the dominance of natural gas. Even though the reserves-to-production ratio for hydrocarbons is declining, it is natur...

Thermal conductivity, heat capacity per unit volume and phase behavior of Shtokman gas condensate were investigated at high pressure up to 1800 MPa in the temperature interval of 245-373 K using the transient hot-wire method. No crystallization was observed in the sample. The glass transition process in the Shtokman gas condensate takes place in th...

Analysis of the global energy market development allows to conclude that natural gas is becoming the main energy resource in the structure of world energy consumption in the nearest future. At the same time the statistical data show that there is a significant reduction in the hydrocarbon reserves over hydrocarbon production, and the time is right...

This paper offers a brief look at the development of the theory and practice of tribology and tribodiagnostics in Russia. It covers the main directions in tribology, and looks at magnetofluid (ferrofluid) tribosystems, classification of triboelements, tribomonitoring systems, thin-layer activation, renovation of tribosystems without disassembly, tr...

This paper contain development the theory and practice of the tribology and tribo-diagnostics. It is includes the main directions in tribology, magnetofluid tribosystems, classification of the technical objects, tribomonitoring systems, thin layer activation, restoring of tribosystems without its disassembling, tribosystems with wear autocompensati...
