History and operations
The Institute as we know it today started on 3 February 1966 as Tyumen Branch of the State All-Union Research and Development Institute of Natural Gases (VNIIGAZ) by the Order No. 145 of the USSR Ministry of Gas. In May 1971 it was transformed into Siberian Research, Development and Engineering Institute of Natural Gases (SibNIPIGas) under Tyumengasprom. In January 1973 the company received its current name TyumenNIIgiprogas. That was the time when development of the giant Urengoy gas field had just started, and the field became a testing ground for many original techniques and solutions by the institute's engineers. Deviated drilling was introduced, casing collapse in permafrost challenges were addressed.
