The article investigates the issues of training specialists in the petroleum industry ready to work in interdisciplinary teams and designing projects. Petroleum engineering interdisciplinarity can ensure not only a competitive position of a team, country’s economy in the international division of labour, but also helps to win the global competition in the relevant markets of the world, therefore, interdisciplinarity really becomes a source of wealth. At the same time, we must distinguish between interdisciplinarity in its formal representation, when the result of the joint work of specialists in several research fields will be the sum of the result of their work, but also when, due to the synergistic effect, the result may be more significant. In other words, the result that can be obtained in this case can never be obtained as a result of the activity of one of the participants in an interdisciplinary team. Most often, this effect is achieved by means of mutual intersection and application of methods, tools, approaches used by the representatives of different disciplines, science, trade. So, organization of implementation of effective interdisciplinary projects in science, engineering, technology or education requires not only the involvement of specialists from various fields of activity, but also planning a synergistic effect, as a kind of guarantee of obtaining fundamentally new solutions and results that, under certain circumstances, can ensure a victory in competition in the relevant markets.
