Ali Chekir, a postgraduate student of NTU “KhPI”, took part in the idea contest from the world’s largest supplier of technologies for oil production — Schlumberger and JSC UkrGasVydobuvannya (the largest Ukrainian gas producer). According to the results of the expert evaluation, the representative of the KhPI took the 1st place. His project “Method for Disposal and Collection of Fluid from Gas Condensate Wells and Plumes” was the best among all the participants and was submitted to the Schlumberger Idea Bank for possible future use.

The competition was held online on the basis of the IPL (Independent Petroleum Leaders) learning platform. The panel of judges, which evaluated the projects-ideas of the participants, included representatives of Schlumberger and JSC UkrGasVydobuvannya.

Due to Ali Chekir’s victory, Schlumberger, as a prize for the first place, will grant NTU “KhPI” with educational licenses for software for simulating the preparation of Symmetry hydrocarbon products.
