Real Solutions, Tough Competition: Fellows Reach Petroleum Forum Finals

2025-07-14 13:12 Energy
InteRussia fellows, each in a different team, have made it to the final round of the VI International Petroleum Youth Forum!

Today’s semi-final was no easy ride: 40 teams presented their ideas based on 20 industry cases — with just 5 minutes to pitch and face a round of tough questions from leading energy experts.

After a fierce selection process, three of our fellows earned a spot in the final. Tomorrow, they’ll present their projects in front of top industry minds — and the competition is going to be intense.

So, what have our InteRussia fellows and their teams been working on these past few days? Brace yourselves — these are real challenges the sector is facing today:
  • Waste treatment and chemical reuse in viscose production
  • Сalculating fiberglass tubing use in oil wells
  • Monitoring energy efficiency in oil equipment
  • Use of drones and satellite imagery in geological exploration
  • Seismic technologies for exploring mature oil fields

The InteRussia fellowship program for non-Russian specialists in oil and gas industry is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, the Academy of Youth Diplomacy, Kazan State Power Engineering with grant support of the Presidential Grants Foundation.
