The article discusses university and geophysical company cooperation under education financial limit conditions. Short story of high-school education forming in the Republic of Bashkortostan is shown. Special geophysics department in Ufa State Petroleum Technological University (launched in 1948) and the same in Bashkortostan State University (launched in 1909) form the base for education of mining geophysicist engineers. Probable problems and the reasons of engineer education deterioration such as lack of finance, different view at the intern-specialist professional skills, fast geophysical technologies connected with coming of international oilfield service companies to Russia, absence of pro-active training are uncovered. Results of school graduate interviews in different years about prestige (2003-2018) and quality (1997–2015) of Russian engineer education are shown. The contradictions between state standard of engineer education and real needs of potential employers because of modern industrial conditions are considered. The main is concentration of recent graduate on its possibility for self-dependent working under short adaptation time in contrast to newcomer-engineers. Quality and result of education process interconnection are shown as well as practice methods for its cooperation solving as follows: flexibility of theoretical and practice training courses, possibility of use of modern geophysical equipment in training process under real production conditions, cooperation of faculty members and specialist`s leaders for the personnel theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Methods of cooperation between universities and oilfield services companies for combined solving of cognitive and managerial tasks of professional education are revealed. This is the main problem, by authors’ opinion, for successful adaptation of recent graduate on business as well as clue for his future evolution. Specific examples of necessary skill set for logging geophysicist engineer and career growth diagram at the oilfield services company Bashneftegeofizika are provided. Professional and career possibilities of engineers and feedback with them universities are shown. The possibilities are provided by qualification upgrade at the company training center as well as special education departments, including if necessary, obtaining an academic degree. Noted, that getting of significant result is possible even under lack of education resource conditions if both partners – education establishment and oilfield services company – work for mutually profitable cooperation.
