Quality training bachelors and masters is impossible without serious scientific work in the department. Research areas, which have been developed and are developing at present, are connected with a wide range of problems, both theoretical and practical nature.
Subject research directions:
1. The theory of heterogeneity in relation to problems of nuclear geophysics, allowing much more accurate assessment of the quality of mineral resources.
2. Gamma-annihilation method as a new tool for studying the chemical composition of rocks and ores.
3. Computer methods of interpreting the results of a comprehensive research of oil and gas wells.
4. Theoretical and experimental justification for geophysical testing of ores by magnetic and nuclear-physical methods.
The Department for many years, carries out research work on the problems of high school. Teachers of the department actively participate in international scientific conferences. Every year several student research papers are sent to the national contest of NIRS.
Developed at the department:
-Complex geophysical methods testing of ferrous metals deposits in Kazakhstan and South Urals stage of detailed operational intelligence;
-Scientific and methodological basis of nuclear geophysical control the composition and quality of fuel and metallurgical raw materials;

1. Scientific partners
As part of the Corporate Department of the University of GF department has five branches in enterprises – JSC “Kazpromgeofizika” (Almaty), KF JSC “AzimutEnerdzhiServisez” (Karaganda) Ltd, “Tsentrgeolanalit” (Karaganda), Ural State Technical University – UPI ( Ekaterinburg), Institute of Geophysics UB RAS (Ekaterinburg). Joint Stock Company “Kazpromgeofizika” was established on the basis of the oldest enterprises of the former Ministry of Geology of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main activities of organizations providing services for the well survey (GIS), oil and gas companies.
One of the oldest log services of Kazakhstan, JSC “Kazpromgeofizika” has good production bases, with all the necessary equipment to conduct geophysical surveys in wells. Highly qualified professionals with extensive industry experience, both in Kazakhstan and abroad: they worked in Viet Nam, Yemen, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Mongolia.
At the moment the work is done by logging contracts with customers in the wells for various purposes (parametric search, exploration for oil and gas exploitation, pressure, water wells, the wells to monitor the environmental conditions, wells to monitor the condition of underground gas storage facilities, and t . etc.).
The company’s policy – the latest acquisition of equipment, improvement of technology manufacturing, continuous professional development specialists.
JSC “Kazpromgeofizika” is a member of Kazakhstan’s first Corporate of the University, established on the basis of Karaganda University of Technology, which became the mechanism associated with the strategic development of business development of its human resources.
Together with leading experts of JSC “Kazpromgeofizika” conducted research work involving the faculty of the Department of GF and G, students, and undergraduates.
Every year in the branches of JSC “Kazpromgeofizika” are educational, industrial and externship students and undergraduates majoring in “Geology and exploration of mineral deposits,” as well as training of the faculty of the department of Geophysics and Geology.
JSC “Azimuth Energy Services” is the legal successor of the former Soviet Union’s largest PGE “KazGeofizika” and leading companies in exploration industry in Kazakhstan. In 2006, the “nuclear” was included in the Group of Companies “Integra”, which is one of the leaders in Russia and CIS in the oilfield services sector land.
It includes over 80 companies focused on the development of market services in the field of drilling, overhaul and repair of oil and gas wells, geophysical surveys and production of oil and gas and related equipment.
Karaganda branch of JSC “Azimuth Energy Services” (KF JSC “NPP”) is known in the business of mineral resources of Kazakhstan as the first time a private company that performs a wide range of geological and geophysical work.
Scope of the Karaganda branch has its own specificity, which distinguishes it from other departments of the company. First of all, these differences are in the orientation of the branch to meet the needs of businesses engaged in mining of solid minerals, (although the issues of search and exploration of hydrocarbon deposits also play a significant role in the statement of work performed by KF JSC “NPP”).
KF JSC “plant” is also the base of manufacturing practices of the department “Geophysics and Geology” and annually welcomes students to her passing, receiving their production skills to under study at the Department of KSTU disciplines.
LLP “Tsentrgeolanalit” is a unique experience for the Exploration of mineral resources, which is due not only to available modern equipment and qualified personnel.
For over half a century of existence of the laboratory accumulated rich experience in the study of various geological sites.
When performing complex analytical studies of mineral raw materials is carried out:
– Chemical and physico-chemical studies;
– Phase analysis of iron, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, polymetallic ores;
– Atomic – emision analysis at 16, 32, 40 elements, quantitative – for 20 elements;
– Assay-gravimetric assay and atomic absorption analysis;
– Hydrochemical analysis of natural groundwater, surface water, mineral, drinking water, wastewater and brine;
– A complete physical and chemical analysis of mud (silt sulfide, peat): consistency, debris, water content, bulk density, shear strength, adhesiveness, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, ability, etc.
Specialists LLP “Tsentrgeolanalit” conducted technological research of properties of various types of ores and industrial structures; developed individual technological schemes of processing and enrichment, studies in vats, heap leaching and bacterial, flotation, magnetic, electromagnetic and gravity separation.
The company has three production facilities in the city of Karaganda where are the following units:
– Laboratory analytical studies;
– Laboratory of physical methods;
– Laboratory studies of coal, oil and gas;
– Laboratory geotechnical studies;
– Laboratory technology research;
– The environmental group;
– Section of sample preparation;
– Mechanical service;
– Service of Metrology, Standardization and Certification.
A joint scientific – technical work KSTU and LLP “Tsentrgeolanalit” performed in 2005. Studies have been conducted on the calculation of the rock pit Nurkazgan. The works were carried out in accordance with GOST 21 153. The limits of strength under uniaxial compression, uniaxial tension, and shear with compression and deformation characteristics of rocks. Also determines the physical properties of rocks such as true density, average density, moisture content, water absorption, porosity. On the basis of this work were calculated pit wall.
In the future we plan to continue the practice of joint research projects KF JSC “nuclear” and at KSTU economic contractual basis.
