AI in MND: From strategy to practice
AI, artificial intelligence. Two words that have been resonating not only in the world of technology for some time now, but are also increasingly penetrating our everyday working lives. AI is talked about, written about, discussed – but how do we actually use it at MND? And what does it mean for each of us?
MND aim to lead the way in hydrogen technology
MND, a. s., Energy Division, has made a capital contribution to Nano Advanced, s. r. o. This is another significant step in the development of hydrogen technologies. MND was the first commercial producer of green hydrogen in the country, and MND Gas Storage is preparing for the possibility of storing a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. Further hydrogen technology projects will require the acquisition of electrolyzers with power input up to 1 MW. Unfortunately, the delivery time for suitable electrolysers is three to five years due to the complexity of their production, and for this reason a capital entry into a company that would produce the equipment in priority for our company and adapt it to our needs seems to be a more interesting option.
We are increasing the installed capacity. Oriv wind farm in Ukraine is operational
The MND Group has entered a new phase in the renewable energy sector. In cooperation with our Ukrainian partner Zinoviy Kozytsky, whose company played a key role in the construction and completion of the ORIV joint wind farm project in the Lviv region, the supply of green energy to the Ukrainian grid officially started in February 2024. Ten state-of-the-art NORDEX wind turbines, type Delta 4000 - n149/5.4-5.5, with a capacity of 54.6 MW, are currently being prepared to increase the wind farm's capacity to 60 MW.
The damage from the Russian missile will take two years to repair. We are grateful for MND's help, says the rector
Rector of the National Technical University of Oil and Gas in Ivano-Frankivsk Ihor Chudyk had a birthday on June 22. The celebration did not take place, as a Russian rocket landed on the school he heads in the morning and seriously damaged the entire campus. Horizons, a subsidiary of MND Ukraine, has long been working with the university and decided to help it with a million hryvnias to initially repair the damage.
A hundred rescuers intervened at the reservoir in Uhřice. The exercise tested all components of the
"Section Commander to Strike Commander: we're starting to cool the probe!" comes over the radio from a fireman wearing a breathing mask. Streams of water from the fire hoses spray the production cross of the probe, from which gas escapes spontaneously to prevent ignition. Dozens of firefighters are on the scene, water tankers are running one after the other, an ambulance is on the scene and a drone is monitoring the situation.
MND's plan for Ukraine: to be the country's largest foreign oil and gas producer within three years
Horizons (a subsidiary of MND Ukraine) is working on two licenses in western Ukraine, with the Tynivskaya license now ramping up and very promising. The first exploration well has exceeded expectations. Once the necessary infrastructure is completed, it will start producing gas. Horizons has seen production decline in the war years, but this trend should now reverse.
Places to relax and lots of greenery. The area in Lužice will be transformed into a modern technology park
Not just fix it, but improve it in every way. MND Drilling and Services has a plan to elevate the Lužice site - from a functional, landscape, technological and aesthetic point of view. The tornado caused more than a quarter of a billion crowns worth of damage. Three years on, virtually everything has been repaired. But it doesn't stop there. On the contrary.
Bored? Go on a trip with your colleagues!
Do you know what to do if you meet a bear in the countryside? What can you cure with slivovitz? If you go with colleagues from MND in Hodonín on regular leisure trips organized by Zuzka Oršulová, you will learn a lot. And most importantly, you will have a lot of fun, get a little exercise and see the beauty of South Moravia, or even discover interesting places just over the border.
Testing the effect of hydrogen admixture on the technology in the storage tank
MND Energy Storage is participating in the joint project "The Effect Of Hydrogen In Mixture With Natural Gas In Underground Gas Storage Facilities On The Integrity Of Metallic Materials".
Krumvir 3 - four kilometres underground, potentially huge reserves
The deepest borehole in the Czech Republic in the last 30 years has received considerable media attention. Representatives of newspapers, TV and radio stations went to the area around Krumvír in South Moravia, where Bentec 350 is working. MND arranged an excursion for them to show their readers, viewers and listeners what it is like to work on a borehole that goes more than four kilometres underground.
Bentec 250 among French vineyards
It is not unusual to see one of MND Drilling and Services (MND DS) rigs towering in the vineyard. This time, however, the vineyards around our Bentec 250 rig were French, as our company returned to the French market after several years.
Borkovany 8 - continuation of a successful deposit
The Borkovany 8 well site is quite densely populated with technology. The Bentec 350 rig is complemented by five trestles, one gas-producing production cross and other infrastructure. For a number of years now, the Borkovany deposit has been in production, and well number 8 will continue to do so. The expected reserves have been confirmed.
Herbucha from Moravia - Štěpán Vican from Energy Storage has home production of kombucha
Someone has a cellar full of preserves, another has a cellar full of wine. Štěpán Vican, a sales dispatcher from MND Energy Storage, grows mushrooms in his cellar. Specifically SCOBY, which he then uses to make special tea drinks or kombucha in combination with herbs. He calls them Herbucha and now he is opening an e-shop: kombuchazmoravy.cz. He wants to show people that kombucha can be very tasty, because most people are fixated that it's healthy, but not always good.
