The university, which was later to become the main "forge of personnel" for the country's oil industry, was not easily created from scratch. In the first years of Soviet power, immediately after the end of the Civil War, it was built, rather, "on the wreckage" of the oil industry, which at the beginning of the last century in Grozny was based mainly on foreign specialists and engineers. After the revolution, most of them left the country. So, according to historical documents, out of 250 engineers and technicians who worked in the fields and factories of Grozny until the end of 1917, only a few dozen remained by the beginning of 1920. Out of 831 wells suitable for exploitation, 80 operated at that time, and none of the six oil refineries worked. Grozny Oil is rightfully considered a unique educational institution. And it's not just about its rich history, which began back in 1920 - today it is the oldest specialized oil university in the country and in the world, which has gone from a technical school to a university.
