Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences
Early October a group of students decided to take a Field Geology Course 1 (Mapping and Sedimentary Geology Field School).
The course took place in Maliy Karatau, Southern Kazakhstan. Students spent 9-days mapping terrain, logging outcrops, and examining rocks from various Proterozoic to Cretaceous successions. Numerous geological phenomena were pointed and discussed. Furthermore, students had a great opportunity to demonstrate, utilize, and advance their knowledge and skills from pre-requisite courses in a very rich and diverse natural sedimentary laboratory. Placing collected data and observations in geological context was part of developing problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Remote Lab Tour with Dr. Peyman Pourafshar
Associate Professor of Mining and Geosciences, Peyman Pourafshary, and his team of PhD students, Mariam Shakeel and Rizwan Muneer, talk about their research. Their research area is Petroleum Engineering. Lab name “Rock and Fluid Properties”.
Working on this project since 2019, they have managed to get the cheaper way of oil production with 80% of oil recovery. For this, they plunged into the study of the properties of rock and liquid to obtain the rock sample saturated with crude oil and mimic a reservoir with harsh conditions inside. In this video, you will learn what method of oil production they managed to implement in a laboratory, get acquainted with the used equipment and their research results.
