The article is devoted to the topic of loyalty. But not in the sphere of personal re-lationships, the authors will speak about loyalty to values, principles, and the once-chosen path of university development, which activities are embedded or closely intertwined with the activities of the main economic entities of the oil and gas complex such as Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil, Surgutneftegaz, Transneft and further down the long list. This refers to Gubkin University. Reflecting on its 95-year history, the authors state and prove that over the years, the university has never betrayed the founder of the refers to the great Russian geologist Ivan Mi-khailovich Gubkin, his precepts, and this is precisely what the university, one of the leading engineering universities in Russia, owes to its achievements and sus-tainable development. Created in the wake of the country's industrialization, Gub-kin University has been and remains primarily a branch university for all the years of its existence, although individual areas of training and research by university scientists cover a wide range of industries. The authors show the university's prin-cipled position on engineering education, which is that it does not end with a uni-versity degree, but should be based on the fundamental principle of continuing professional education.
