PetroCup is an online interactive training and testing facility for the oil and gas industry, powered by artificial intelligence.

Problem and implemented solution

Description of Problems: There is an urgent need to integrate innovative digital educational tools and artificial intelligence into training programs for students and specialists in "Oil and Gas Engineering." A significant gap exists between the training provided by oil and gas higher education institutions and the practical demands of the industry. The industry needs specialists skilled in innovative approaches and tools. There is a shortage of specialists among subsoil users with comprehensive, project-oriented, cross-functional, and multidisciplinary knowledge and competencies in oil and gas field development. The industry critically requires experts in the management and design of oil and gas field development. Professional development programs for industry-specific state regulators using digital educational tools and artificial intelligence are underdeveloped. Professional retraining and advanced training programs in oil and gas higher education institutions are lacking or completely absent. It is essential to enhance the competencies and potential of students and subsoil users to meet current industry challenges. Additionally, there is insufficient development of a unified informational and educational space within the oil and gas field development community. Implemented Solutions: Professional hackathons are being organized within state, project, educational, scientific, and commercial organizations. Student hackathons and Olympiads, both regional and federal, are being hosted for relevant universities. Certification and recertification of state industry experts are being conducted. Annual rankings for scientific and project industry institutes are being established. Faculty and graduate students in relevant universities are being certified and recertified. Educational programs for specialist training in relevant universities are being certified. Corporate targeted training programs and courses are being implemented within state, project, educational, scientific, and commercial organizations. Public webinars, lectures, and educational sessions with free access for participants are being hosted. An industry-specific online learning community is being formed and developed using public webinars, conferences, masterclasses, training sessions, lectures, and the creation of databases and libraries. This revised version maintains the original content while improving readability and flow.
