The conference, which took place within the walls of St. Petersburg State University, brought together employees of the oil and gas industry, research centers, universities, as well as representatives of the Ministries of the Russian Federation to discuss the problems and prospects associated with the production of HR&R. The lack of modern domestic technologies for field development and hydrocarbon production in the industry, the difficulties of identifying reservoirs according to well logging data, as well as the low profitability of ultra-high-viscosity oil production were emphasized. What is the actual role of the state in supporting companies in the development of HRD? Is she enough? Is the tax system effective in this industry? — these questions were answered quite unambiguously. Within the framework of the conference, the subsidization of geological exploration, or rather, its insufficiency, was discussed, taxes were on the agenda, without which any activity for the development of deposits is impossible: MET, AIT. PM Industrial presented a report on Integrated Intelligent Solutions for Well Control and Management, which is the company's core business. The speakers also included representatives of Gazprom Neft, Tatneft, RN-BashNIPIneft, Tomskgazprom, Lukoil-Engineering, research centers and specialized universities. We express our gratitude to the organizers and participants of the conference for their contribution to the development of approaches, methods and technologies for the development and production of HRD.
