Tomsk Polytechnic University

Technological Machines and Equipment

  • Personnel responsible for machinery and equipment operating at the facilities of the oil and gas industry.

Program Overview

Extraction, processing and transportation of oil and gas require the use of specialized machinery and equipment. The way they are maintained influences the safety of the environment, the life and health of personnel, and the economic profit of the enterprise.

Highly qualified engineers are in demand by the oil and gas industry, as they can reliably assess the safety margin of equipment, ensure the prevention of breakdowns and prompt repairs.

Students enrolled in the program receive in-depth theoretical knowledge about oil and gas production and processing, master software products for the diagnosis of structures and mechanisms using 3D-modeling. Leading enterprises in the industry attract the most promising students first as trainees and later as full-time employees.
