The rector of the Poltava National Technical University Volodymyr Onyshchenko underlined that the partnership between DTEK Oil&Gas and the university helps bring together education and the needs of business and give students an opportunity to receive job experience. Cooperation between the company and university in the field of research and development, which has already produced a number of technical solutions that improved the performance of DTEK’s gas production facilities, is also very important.

Igor Shchurov further said, “The development of the Ukrainian gas sector is possible only if modern technologies and innovative approaches are implemented. For this, we need highly skilled professionals capable of bringing new ideas and knowledge to the industry. By fostering cooperation with universities and academic institutions, DTEK Oil&Gas contributes to the successful future of the national gas extraction industry.
