Girfanov names the main problems faced by Russian service companies today, the advantages that independence brings to service divisions based on the example of Tatneft-AktubinskRemService, enumerates the operations that his company offers to oil producers and other service companies. Commenting on unwillingness of his colleagues to share applied technologies, Girfanov says: "The oil is still running, but it will not last forever. That is why service companies have to learn to deal with the problems of the contactors together. Cooperation and information exchange would be welcome.
