Research Units

Research is conducted at units of the University, research centers, laboratories, small enterprises as well as institutes, the University departments and the Engineering Center.

Gubkin University has the status of a national research university. Therefore, necessary innovative infrastructure and advanced scientific equipment are available at the University.

In order to carry out research the faculty and staff are provided with access to the material and technical resources of the University, which include academic and research complexes and systems, unique installations, hardware and software complexes and other expensive equipment.

Since 2010 at the expense of the National Research University Program, sponsorship funds and own financial resources, Gubkin University has reequipped 35 research and academic laboratories, and established 12 new laboratories equipped with modern facilities and equipment. The University developed and adopted the environment of a virtual oil and gas enterprise in the academic process which consists of several modules – the Center for field development control, the virtual oil refinery, the Center for dispatch control of gas transmission and production complexes, the full-sized drilling simulator of virtual presence. In total, over 1 billion rubles were invested to acquire equipment and other tangible assets to ensure the University development program.
