OREANDA-NEWS. August 2, 2011. The specialized exhibition “GEO-KAZAN: Geological survey. Geodesy. Cartography” will be held for the first time in Kazanskaya Yarmarka Exhibition Center On 7-9 September 2011.

Tatarstan is one of the oldest oil producing regions in Russia. Today over 3 billion tons of oil is produced in the republic. Speed of construction increases on the threshold of the 2013 Summer Universiade and 2018 FIFA World Cup.

As geodesy is in the avant-guard of oil deposits exploration, construction of new petrochemical enterprises, road junctions, sport structures, metropolitan, modern residential complexes, implementation of the project “GEO-KAZAN: Geological survey. Geodesy. Cartography” in Kazan is very important.

For today active work in the sphere of geological services is being made, in the sphere of geodesy and engineering and geodesic research the republic strives for mastering the peak of technological opportunities. According to the order of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitriy Medvedev the internet-register of geological-informational resources for geological survey of the region is being created. Tatarstan branch of the territorial Fund of geological information is creating the GIS-project “Map of interior condition and interior use in hydrocarbon raw materials of the Republic of Tatarstan”. Moreover, a well-known in Russia and abroad scientific and industrial school of geologists and oil industry workers.

The specialized exhibition “GEO-KAZAN: Geological survey. Geodesy. Cartography” is going to be the unique event in the Volga Region that shows the newest geophysical and geodesic equipment. Moreover the exhibition creates favourable conditions for development and application of innovative geological and geophysical methods and survey of mineral deposits, as well as expansion and strengthening interregional and international cooperation.

The exhibition includes three main sectors:

Geology and geophysics

- geological support of oil exploration

- modern equipment and geophysical technologies of mineral deposits exploration

- engineering and geological survey

- technologies and equipment for construction of tunnels and underground communications

Geodesy

- geodesic and topographic-geodesic works

- geodesic support service

- geodesic measurements during exploration of hydrocarbon and other minerals

- navigation systems

- perspective geo-information technologies in geology and geophysics

Cartography

- cartography and GIS, mining geodesy

- engineering survey and design

- photogrammetry and Earth remote sensing

- cadastre and organization of the use of land

The leading companies of the sector participate in the exhibition: “Zenit” (Kazan), Kazanskiy (Privolzhskiy) Federal University, LLC  TD “Galileo” (Naberezhnye Chelny) and many others.

Business program of the exhibition includes:

- Round table dedicated to actual issues of geophysics and geodesy development.

- International research-practice conference “Increase of oil recovery – priority direction of reproduction of sources of hydrocarbon raw materials”, dedicated of 100 anniversary of birthday of academician A.A. Trofimuk.

- III International gas and chemical Forum “Present and future of Russian gas-chemistry”.

The 18th International Specialized Exhibition “Oil, gas. Petrochemistry”, the 6th Specialized Exhibition “Ecotechnology and equipment of ХХI century” and the 2nd Specialized Exhibition “Plastic & Rubber” will take place at the same time on the territory of Kazanskaya Yarmarka Exhibition Center.
