SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL CENTRE (STC) "DIAGNOSTICS"

SRC "DIAGNOSTICS" was established on the base of a century-year old scientific-research complex and follows in the footsteps of the Azeri oilmen who have for many decades developed, built and operated onshore and offshore oil and gas fields.

The strongest point of SRC "Diagnostics" is its highly-qualified scientists and specialists in all walks of science and technology, the creators of the oil industry of Azerbaijan, with a fortune of experience gained both at home and abroad, capable to put into practice any challenging engineering ideas. This allows the Centre to undertake work aimed at solving both urgent and routine problems in all fields of industry and, due to its flexible organisational structure, to enlist the best Azeri specialists.

SRC undertakes the following works:

1. R&D for numerous projects

  • construction of offshore oil and gas-producing hydrotechnical facilities, such as pipelines, piers, stationary platforms etc.;
  • provision of optimum facilities for offshore oil and gas fields;
  • production, transportation and storage of petroleum products;
  • exploration and assessment of reserves of onshore and offshore oil and gas fields and other mineral resources;
  • geologic mapping of territories;
  • finding solutions for environmental problems;
  • creation of steels, alloys and composite materials for different applications;
  • development of corrosion-prevention means (varnishes and paints, metals, polymers, cathode protection etc.) for onshore and offshore facilities and equipment with consideration for working conditions and aggressiveness of the medium and using, to a maximum extent, local raw materials and wastes;
  • development of inhibitors and bactericides of universal action;
  • development of decorative, protective and high-viscosity materials;
  • development of toiletries, cosmetics and washing materials;
  • development of medical preparations;
  • creation of mathematical models and expert systems for different technical, technologic and production processes taking into account natural and climatic phenomena;
  • establishment and refining of normative and methodological base for different fields of science, technology and industry;
  • setting up specialised automated databases for different fields of industry, agriculture, science, culture and life; - production of consumer goods.

2. NON-DESTRUCTIVE CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTICS for assessment of a technical state of installations, facilities, process lines, equipment and communications:

  • offshore facilities such as offshore pipelines, piers, platforms, mooring berths etc.;
  • pipelines serving different purposes and communication means for them;
  • welded metal constructions;
  • reservoirs and high-pressure containers;
  • equipment and communication means for petroleum, gas, energy, machine-building, oil-refining, petrochemical and other industries, agriculture, water supply etc.;
  • floating facilities.

3. PRODUCTION AND SERVICES

  • scientific and technical products in the form of "know-how", projects, guidelines etc. in accordance with paras. 1 and 2 above;
  • small-scale and batch production of protective, non-metal, metal decorative coatings;
  • low-scale and batch production of pharmaceutics, toiletries, cosmetics and washing materials;
  • production of consumer goods;

4. JOINT VENTURES AND COOPERATION

  • establishment of enterprises, workshops and production facilities in different industries and agriculture using modern technologies and waste-utilisation processes;
  • establishment of scientific and technical institutions, laboratories and educational institutes for co-operative activities;
  • establishment of cultural, sports, medical and other complexes;
  • reconstruction and re-equipping of production lines and industrial objects of Azerbaijan;
  • formation of commissions and working groups for the purpose of finding expert solutions to scientific, technical and industrial tasks.
