The Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (Russian: Российский государственный университет нефти и газа имени И. М. Губкина) is a public university in Moscow, Russia. The university was founded in 1930 and is named after the geologist Ivan Gubkin. The university is colloquially known as Kerosinka (Russian: Керосинка), meaning 'kerosene stove'. Affiliates of the Gubkin institute exist in Orenburg and Tashkent (Uzbekistan).

Faculties and schools
Petroleum geology and geophysics The work of geologists and geophysicists is complex and multifaceted. Only detailed study of the structure of the Earth's deposits with the use of modern geophysical instruments and computer technologies can confidently identify oil and gas deposits at the depth of several kilometers. The Faculty trains geologists and geophysicists in a variety of areas and specializations of geoscience to meet the industry's needs. Training is provided by a team of researchers. Among them are Russian State Prize Laureates, Honored Scientists of the Russian Federation, Honored Geologists and Geophysicists. The Faculty offers Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. programs.
Departments Theory of Prospecting and Exploration of Oil and Gas Petroleum Field Geology Geology Geophysical Information Systems Exploration Geophysics and Computer Systems lithology and System Research of Lithosphere Geology of Hydrocarbon Systems Aleksandr V. Lobusev is author of more than 90 scientific papers. He is also the holder of the patent: "Method of developing oil and gas fields”. He is member of many renowned public organizations: the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE); Chairman of the Committee on Science of Gubkin University Academic Council, Public Council of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, full member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Russia.
Reservoir engineering Hydrocarbons are produced in Siberian blistering cold and in violent African heat, deep under the sea and in the desert. It is the reservoir engineer who plays the major role in this process of development and exploitation of oil and gas deposits. The Faculty of Reservoir Engineering prepares professionals in drilling, well completion and simulation, development and exploitation of on- and offshore oil, gas and gas condensate fields, research in physics and hydraulics. Students of the Faculty receive in-depth knowledge in geology, economics, engineering mechanics, oil field chemicals and computer systems. The Faculty offers a variety of Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. programs.
Departments Oil and Gas Wells Drilling Petroleum Reservoir Engineering Gas and Gas-Condensate Reservoir Engineering Offshore Petroleum Reservoir Engineering Physics Petroleum and Subsurface Fluid Mechanics Gas Technologies and Underground Gas Storage Institute of Hydrocarbon Reservoir Engineering R&D Institute for Drilling Technologies Institute of Arctic Petroleum Technologies Professor Bondarenko teaches the course on "Physics of oil and gas reservoir." He has published more than 40 scientific works. Professor Bovanenko is the Laureate of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of Science and Technology, Honorary Person of Higher Professional Education of the Russian Federation.
Pipeline engineering, construction and operation Pipeline transport is the most important part of the fuel and energy complex. Often oil and gas fields are located in remote areas. Therefore, the effectiveness of the oil and gas industry is largely dependent on the reliable and safe operation of pipeline systems. The Faculty provides training in a wide range of subjects and programs related to pipeline engineering and operation. The Faculty includes 75 professors giving lectures to the students on the fundamentals and cutting-edge developments in pipeline engineering. The Faculty offers Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. programs.
Departments Gas and Oil Pipelines Engineering and Operation Gas and Oil Pipelines and Storage Facilities Construction and Repair Oil Products and Gas Supplies Thermodynamics and Heat Engines Welding and Monitoring of Oil and Gas Facilities Professor Korolenok is author of over 110 scientific papers and textbooks for students, including 3 monographs and 12 scientific and technical reviews. He is Member of the Scientific and Technical Council of OAO "Gazprom". The research results of professor Korolenok were used to develop a number of industry practices and regulations, which were introduced into the practice of gas transportation companies such as "Gazprom", “Transneft", Rosneftegazstroy and others.
Mechanical engineering The question “What do the graduates of the Department of Mechanical Engineering do?” can be answered briefly: they create machinery and installations for the oil and gas industry, and “teach” these how to work. They design and operate equipment, certify petroleum products and technologies, ensure the security of workers life, manage risks related to industrial production, insure industrial objects and people - our graduates can do all this and many other things. The Faculty offers Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. programs.
Departments Machines and Equipment for Oil and Gas Industry Equipment for Oil Refining and Gas Processing Tribology and Repair Technology of Oil and Gas Equipment Welding and Monitoring of Oil and Gas Facilities Standardization, Certification and Quality Management of Oil and Gas Equipment Manufacturing Wear Resistance of Machines and Equipment & Structural Materials Engineering Industrial Safety and Environment Protection Computer Aided Design of Oil and Gas Industry Facilities Theoretical Mechanics Technical Mechanics Metal Science and Nonmetallic Materials Other Units National Oil and Gas Institute International Training and Research Center «Anticor» Institute for Safety and Risk Analysis in Oil and Gas Sector Center for Integrated Analytical Studies Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Refurbishing Processes in Gas Sector Equipment Professor Prygaev is author of more than 60 scientific papers, co-author of international translator and guide "Electrodes for manual arc welding" (2000). In 2012 the International Society for Engineering Education awarded professor Prygaev the title of “International Lecturer in Engineering”. In 2010 professor was awarded the title of the “Honored Person of Higher Education of the Russian Federation”.
