The international forum and exhibition "LNG: Economy, Technologies, Solutions" was held in St. Petersburg. It is an industry event dedicated to the discussion of technologies, equipment, management, and investment solutions for the domestic liquefied natural gas production and consumption industry. Over 250 specialists from leading companies in the LNG and related industries gathered at the Airportcity Plaza Hotel to share experiences and best practices.
The forum's primary goal was to promote the growth of LNG production, improve energy availability, and increase the efficiency of its consumption. Key topics for discussion included LNG production, localization, transportation, and storage, government support for the industry, attracting private investment, and training. This year, special attention was paid to international issues. Forum participants discussed ways to increase LNG export volumes and the dissemination of Russian technologies, equipment, and materials.
The event was organized by the analytical agency LNG.Expert with information support from the industrial events agency H-Media. The three-day forum program was packed with content, including two plenary sessions, four thematic sessions, and two roundtable discussions, providing an opportunity to learn about current market developments and engage with executives from leading industry companies.
Alexey Fadeev, moderator of the plenary session "The Domestic LNG Market in the Russian Federation: Key Challenges, Achievements, and Forecasts," Professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management at the Institute of Mechanics and Technology and Director of Key Partner Relations at the Institute of Oil and Gas Technological Initiatives, forecasted the industry's growth dynamics in his speech: "Our country plans to increase LNG production in the medium term to 66 million tons per year, and by 2030, production will exceed 100 million tons. Currently, Russia has more than 70 gas liquefaction projects at various stages of implementation, and the current LNG production level is 34.7 million tons per year. If all existing projects, including promising ones, are launched, the market potential could reach 200-250 million tons of LNG per year. Clearly, such ambitious plans require adequate personnel training, both in engineering and in economics and management."
At the roundtable discussion "Training Professional Personnel for the LNG Industry," representatives from universities training specialists in the field discussed current solutions for training personnel in the LNG market, key R&D areas, and support measures. Olga Kalinina, Director of the Graduate School of Industrial Management, presented a paper titled "Training Management Personnel for the Oil, Gas, and Fuel and Energy Industries." She outlined the current challenges shaping the higher education agenda and shared her experience and expertise in training specialists in oil, gas, and energy management programs.
Representatives of the Graduate School of Industrial Management also worked in the information area, presenting and answering questions from participants regarding both educational and research activities. In terms of educational activities, the participants discussed the specifics of implementing undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs in relevant sectors of the fuel and energy sector. In terms of research activities, the participants discussed the work of the Graduate School of Industrial Management's research laboratory, "Management of Production Systems and Business Processes." Its activities focus on conducting research in the areas of business process analysis, economic feasibility studies for promising technologies, and developing strategies for the implementation and commercialization of innovations for industrial companies, including those in the mineral resources sector.
