The program of the visit included meetings with representatives of Uzbekgeofizika JSC, Institute of Geology and Exploration of Oil and Gas Fields (IGIRNIGM), State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Geology and Mineral Resources, ERIELL international oil service group, Jizzakh Petroleum JV LLC, JSC O`ZLITINEFTGAZ, Gas Project Development Central Asia AG and Geo Reserch and Company LLC.

Interesting discussions took place at a round table organized by the management of Jizzakh Petroleum LLC. The meeting was devoted to the issues of enhanced oil recovery at the existing fields of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the use of possible technologies to increase the efficiency of production, methods of enhancing oil recovery.  In turn, Danis Nurgaliev told the colleagues about the technologies and developments of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies. Also during the meeting, negotiations were underway on the development of joint research activities in the field of prospecting and exploration of deposits and production stimulation, increasing oil production of fields in Uzbekistan.

Particular attention at the round table was paid to the training and development of personnel in the oil and gas industry of Uzbekistan. Ildus Chukmarov presented programs of additional professional education to the partners of Uzbekistan, highlighting the “Methods of enhanced oil recovery”, “Oil and gas fields management” programs and the professional retraining program “Internship topical issues of prospecting and exploration of oil and gas fields.”

Moreover, Danis Nurgaliev, Ildus Chukmarov, Mikhail Varfolomeev took part in the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Integration of Science and Production – the Basis for Sustainable Development of the Oil and Gas Industry of Uzbekistan”. During the conference, Danis Karlovich Nurgaliev spoke about the scientific and educational activities of the university, the head of CdoGEO made reports on the following topic: “Experience of KFU in the tasks of training and retraining of personnel”, Mikhail Varfolomeev reported on “Experience and prospects for enhanced oil recovery in hydrocarbon fields.”

A fruitful meeting within the framework of a trip to Uzbekistan took place with Dilbarhon Fazilova, Leading researcher of the Astronomical Institute named after Ulugbek and Hasan Magdiev, an employee of the Cadastral Agency under the State Tax Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Ildus Chukmarov discussed with colleagues cooperation in the field of comprehensive advanced training for mine and land surveyors.

The result of negotiations with the Director General of JSC Institute of Geology and Exploration of Oil and Gas Fields, Ravshanzhon Yusupzhonov, was an agreement on the internship of the Institute’s personnel within the framework of a state grant from the Government of Uzbekistan for training abroad.
