The history of the department

The Department of “Oil and Gas Business” was separated from the Department of “Chemical Technology” in 2006 into a separate department. The department prepares a Bachelor of Engineering and Technology in the educational program “6B07202 – Oil and gas business”. In 2019, a master’s degree in the educational program “7M07202 – Oil and gas business” was opened, as well as the specialty “6B07106-Electric Power Industry”, which is in demand in the Western region. Also in 2021, a bachelor’s degree in the specialty “6B07106- Automation and control and a master’s degree in the educational program “7M07106-Electric Power Industry” was opened.

The department is lectured by highly qualified teachers, professors, doctors and candidates of technical sciences, whose share is 54% of the total staff.

During these years, the head of the department was Ph.D., associate professor Zh. E.Dzhakupova (2006-2010), Ph.D., Associate professor A.M. Balgynova (2010-2018), Ph.D. R.O.Orynbasar (2018-2020). Since 2020, the head of the department is Candidate of Technical Sciences B. G. Almatova.

The educational institution has all the conditions for obtaining high-quality education, conscious upbringing.

The material and technical base of the department “Oil and Gas business” is updated from year to year. For high-quality education, the department currently has 2 classrooms with simulator simulators: a simulator simulator for drilling wells AMT-221 and a simulator simulator for major repairs of wells AMT-411, 6 hardware and software complexes, 4 classrooms with interactive whiteboards, computer classes and specialized classrooms. There is an educational and laboratory stand on the theoretical foundations of electrical engineering and electronics, a set of virtual laboratories in the disciplines of electrical machines, high voltage equipment, general power engineering in the OP “Electric Power Engineering” and “Automation and Control”.  The disciplines of specialization are studied on the basis of simulator and hardware and software complexes, stands and virtual laboratories OP “Oil and Gas Business” in 2021 and OP “Electric Power Industry” in 2020 were accredited by the Kazakhstan Association of Modern (Elite) Education.

Working with the simulator simulator AMT-411 in the discipline “drilling of oil and gas wells” by 3rd year students of the specialty “Oil and gas business

In order to improve the quality of training, ties with production have been strengthened, for each academic year we have signed an agreement with the AF JSC “National Center for Expertise and Certification” to conduct practical classes in the disciplines “general and petroleum geology” and “environmental protection in the oil and gas industry” on the basis of “Aktyubnigri” LLP and practical classes in the discipline “standardization, certification and metrology”, as well as a branch of the department of “Aktyubnigri” LLP.

In order to improve the quality of students’ knowledge and present new technologies and techniques in the oil industry, specialists from oil and gas companies are invited and give lectures to students.

The work of the 2nd year students of the specialty “Oil and gas business” with the hardware and software complex”reception, storage and pumping of propane”

Production practice in the specialty “Oil and gas business” is carried out by concluding contracts with large national and foreign companies operating in the field of oil and gas business (JSC “SNPS Aktobemunai”, LLP oil and gas technology company “TU-HA”, JSC “MNE Kaspiymunai”, LLP “Kazakhstan Oil Services”, etc.). The department, together with the above-mentioned companies, continues to work in this direction.

As part of the academic mobility program for teachers, lectures and master classes are held for the teaching staff of the department with the invitation of specialists from universities preparing the oil and gas industries of the country and neighboring countries. One of them-the head of the department “drilling of oil and gas wells” of Ufa State Petroleum Technical University, Doctor of Economics, Professor R. A. Ismakov -gave a lecture on the discipline “drilling of oil and gas wells”. Also, a master class was held for the teachers of the department on the topic “Innovative directions of development of drilling equipment and technology”.

Students of the department have completed and continue to study under the academic mobility program at universities in the USA (Tennessee Technological University) and Ufa State Petroleum Technical University.

On June 24, 2013, students of the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering became members of the International Scientific Society of Petroleum Engineers – SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) and continue to work as part of the regional section “SPE Russia and the Caspian Region”. Currently, students study French and Chinese in addition to participating in conferences in English. SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) is an international scientific society of petroleum engineers. The main direction of the company’s work is a professional organization based on the development of new technologies in the field of exploration and development of oil and gas fields. It is the world’s largest professional and technical organization, which includes more than 53,000 engineers from more than 50 countries.

Students take part and take prizes in scientific and practical conferences held by the Kazakh National Technical University named after K. Satpayev, the Kazakh-British Technical University, the Gubkin Russian State University and the SPE Society Abroad under the guidance of teachers of the department.

Another task of the teachers of the department is to conduct events that have not only educational, but also educational significance for students as a future specialist of the country. Therefore, it has become a tradition to hold conferences, round tables, etc. with the participation of production specialists within the framework of the Profession Week, which is organized in each academic year.

One of the main directions of the department is research work. Research work at the department is carried out in several directions: “development of technological processes in the processing of oil sludge to obtain high-quality products”, “innovative methods of intensification of oil production in the fields of Western Kazakhstan”, etc.

Much attention is paid to attracting students to research work, and work in student circles is the main form. Students of the department participate and take prizes in international competitions, international scientific and practical conferences and the international project “Petro boll”, intellectual games held within the framework of the International Congress.

Currently, many students who graduated from Aktobe Regional State University named after K. Zhubanov in the specialty “Oil and gas business” are working in their specialties abroad, in West Kazakhstan and Aktobe regions.

Our students continue their studies in higher educational institutions of foreign countries, in particular in England, Scotland, Ufa, Guangzhou South China University of Technology, etc.

Teaching staff of the department have a high opportunity to train technical specialists who meet the requirements of competition in a market economy.
