In spite of small number of participants, there were a lot of interesting reports at the conference. This year young scientists presented their works in two sessions – “Geology. Development. Economy. Ecology” and “Treatment. Processing. Gas and Condensate Transmission”. Judging by applied presentations, the competition committee had to make a difficult choice to determine the winners.

Apart from scientific reports the conference provided a diverse cultural program. It included topical excursions on the history of oil and gas industry development, various sport events. The highlight of the program was the rafting on Ukhta river after the closing of the official part.

The Conference worked until 4 July and for now we can wish the participants fruitful work, worthy presentations, creative inspiration and luck.
