Education Week

Sunday - Thursday, 5-9 February 2012

As part of the 2011 International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC), an Education Week is to be organised for the benefit of the best, final-year undergraduate geoscience and engineering students from qualified institutions worldwide.  100 students from 32 countries and 64 institutions have been selected to attend Education Week at IPTC.

The purpose of Education Week is to give the students a clear insight into the industry that they are about to join; to allow them to return to their universities and colleges with a positive story to relate to their fellow students and to provide opportunities for students to form new friendships and to work together on a joint activity. 

Participating students will be assigned to work on a project group, to share their ideas and best practices, to address issues and brainstorm solutions. Students will be required to make a presentation on their group report on Thursday morning, 9 February 2012. Topics assignments include:

  • Marginal Fields Development
  • CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery
  • Horizontal wells, Multilaterals and Complex Well Architecture
  • Intelligent Fields & Intelligent Wells
  • Shale Gas Technology and Development
  • Deep Water Oil & Gas Development 
  • CO2 Sequestration (CCS)
  • Coalbed Methane
  • HSE: Managing the Risks related to Oil and Gas industry
  • Floating LNG

At the same time, students will be interacting with a number of major industry employers who are constantly looking to recruit the best talent from institutions across the region.
