Russian oilfield services company BurService has become an investor in a project that is important for the oil and gas industry, within the framework of which NSU and the company signed an agreement on the joint creation and commercialization of a new generation software package for interpreting seismic and other geological and geophysical information in order to build digital models of fields. A pilot version of the new software, ready for introduction to the market, will appear by the end of 2025.
Currently, the software for building geological and geophysical models of hydrocarbon deposits is dominated by software products from Western companies that have left the Russian market and stopped supporting their software. Many of these products have become industry standards over the past 30 years and have formed the basis for corporate solutions for all leading Russian oil companies.
— BurService and NSU are jointly solving the problem of creating a new generation software package that will ensure a seamless transition of Russian oil and gas industry enterprises from Western software to a domestic product. Our company has accumulated extensive experience working with software that occupies leading positions in the industry both at the international and Russian levels. NSU is one of the leading universities in our country, which has a rich scientific heritage of the founders of geophysical science and practice in our country, as well as modern scientific achievements, technological developments and highly qualified personnel in the field of applied mathematics, geophysics, programming, — noted the project manager from BurService Stanislav Kopunov.
The software package being developed will not only be comparable with Western analogues considered the industry standard, but will also surpass them in a number of parameters. In particular, the best practices from the experience of Russian and foreign companies are being implemented, including those based on machine learning. The product will be created based on the architecture designed by developers from Novosibirsk State University. The package will be based on the open database management system PostgreSQL and will provide multi-user distributed access, and the modern technological stack guarantees cross-platform and compatibility with various operating systems, including domestic ones.
— This is a rare case in the practice of Russian universities, when a university and private business agree on the joint development of a large software package and its promotion in the industry. This is an example of how a scientific development in the field of geological and geophysical modeling of hydrocarbon deposits, after appropriate revision and adaptation, finds further development and is introduced into the real sector of the economy, — commented Sergey Golovin, Director of the Advanced Engineering School of NSU.
The cooperation between NSU and BurService involves joint work not only on the creation of a software package, but also on its further modernization, improvement and support.
