The Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Engineering Scientific and Educational Center has launched a course titled "Fundamentals of Decarbonization in the Oil and Gas Industry." It was developed by faculty from the Polytechnic University under the guidance of Alexander Ilyinsky, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation and Professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management at the Institute of Mechanics and Technology of Economics and Technology. This project by the HSPM research team won the "Course for Success" educational product competition. the results of which were summed up at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum 2025.
The course is designed for economics students planning to pursue careers in the oil and gas industry. It consists of 72 academic hours and is included in the semester's curriculum. The first to begin the course were 30 master's students.
"Today, it's strategically essential not only to train managers for the oil and gas industry but also to instill in them an awareness of responsibility in the context of the new global management concept and industry legislation requirements. In other words, it's essential to comprehensively and systematically address the issues under study from all angles, which is what we've accomplished in the course 'Fundamentals of Decarbonization in the Oil and Gas Industry.' It's also important to note that the authors developed the materials specifically for the functionality of the Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Engineering educational platform," emphasized Lyudmila Pankova, SPbPU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs.
The course includes lectures, textbooks, graphic diagrams, and illustrations. Students complete the course individually at their own pace. Instructors can track each student's progress and view assessment results. Students can subsequently use the course materials to prepare their own research and scientific papers.
"Thanks to the digital educational platform, we are able to offer students an engaging, structured course covering the theoretical foundations, technologies, and methods of decarbonization. Our goal is to develop a systemic understanding of the processes and mechanisms and to develop practical skills for developing relevant projects. The relevance of the program is driven by the importance of the oil and gas sector for the Russian economy," says course developer and HSE Professor Alexander Ilyinsky.
The Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Engineering educational platform, developed on behalf of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz, integrates curricula across all areas of regional gas sales and distribution companies. It also allows for the inclusion of educational products from external companies. For example, the "Course for Success" competition featured original projects from university faculty and researchers, as well as students and schoolchildren. This confirmed the platform's versatility and adaptability to various tasks and audiences.
Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Engineering is a specialized service company supporting core IT activities in the regions where Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Group subsidiaries operate. The company's specialists develop and support specialized software, provide IT infrastructure outsourcing services, perform maintenance and repair of telemetry systems, and conduct gas metering audits.
