Rosneft Opens Laboratory for Geophysical Well Research at Ufa State Petroleum Technical University
01 December 2025
Bashneft (Rosneft subsidiary) has opened a new laboratory at the Department of Geophysical Research Methods at the Mining and Oil Faculty of the Ufa State Petroleum Technical University (USPTU). As part of the ceremony, Bashneft and the University signed an agreement to establish a Bashneft-Geophysics department, which will educate geologists, petrophysicists and other specialists for Bashneft-PETROTEST.
Future geophysical engineers study at the Department of Analysis and Interpretation of Geophysical Well Logging Data, where they learn how to use specialised equipment. The new laboratory’s equipment provides the opportunity to conduct practical training in all areas of commercial well geophysics.
The laboratory is fully equipped with Russian hardware, data recording systems and downhole geophysical instruments. The hardware includes a computer-controlled geophysical information system for logging data, called the «Logging Laboratory GIS». The system is designed to record, display in real time, and store logging data. The laboratory is also equipped with recorders that convert the signals emitted by the well and surface devices during the logging process into a digital format. The recorder was designed by a company based in Ufa, using components that correspond to the latest advances in electronics. The product is based on a modern multi-core microprocessor, which significantly increases computing resources and takes signal processing to a whole new level. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained.
For 25 years, Rosneft and USPTU have been cooperating in the areas of training qualified personnel and conducting scientific and innovation activities. The USPTU is one of Russia’s leading technical universities and is recognised as a regional base university.
With the Company’s support, the Rosneft-USPTU Scientific and Educational Centre was established at the University’s Mining and Oil Faculty. The University has 11 core and graduating departments that implement educational programmes in the interests of Rosneft’s enterprises.
