IPTC Education Day

The IPTC Education Day will be organised for the benefit of regional high school students, as an initiative to introduce them to the discipline of petroleum engineering, and the industry in general. High school students will be invited to attend, and industry professionals will be invited to share their experience with the students and to deliver talks on topics of general interest and relevance to the industry.
