The PME Department Hosts Drilling Fluid School Course in Collaboration with Pulsar Petroleum
As part of the Industrial Committee’s duties in the Petroleum and Mining Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering at , Pulsar Petroleum, in partnership with LUIC College, recently held a comprehensive course entitled “Drilling Fluid School.” The course was specifically tailored to the requirements and interests of professionals in the oil and gas industry, and it consisted of a combination of theoretical lectures and practical sessions that span five intensive days.
The “Drilling Fluid School” was conducted on the campus from May 19th to 23rd, 2024, and provided participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical experience in the field of drilling fluids. This knowledge is essential for the safety and efficiency of drilling operations. The course attracted a diverse group of experts, including drilling engineers, fluid engineers, geologists, and specialists from various sectors within the oil and gas industry, with an attendance of over 400 participants. The overall experience was further enhanced by the rich learning and networking environment that was fostered by this diverse
The College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering is one of the colleges established in 2013. Its creation had a wide resonance in the scientific and academic circles at the level of the Republic of Iraq and the Arab world. The college includes three scientific engineering departments specialized in the fields of minerals, oil and related methods of research, exploration and extraction from various mineral ores, oil and gas in nature. This year, the college started receiving students who graduated from preparatory studies in its scientific branch, with rates not less than 94.2%. The teaching staff of this college was from the departments and centers of the faculties of the University of Mosul and those who had the competence in teaching the various curricula in its three departments. This college is also characterized by the preparation of engineers in the fields of oil, gas, mines and various minerals.
Iraq is considered one of the great oil countries, its land reserves float on explored and unexplored oil reservoirs, and it also possesses the second reserves of oil in the world, its production has a strong resonance and influence in the global oil markets. Oil is a major national wealth on which the Iraqi economy is based and regard as the source of life for the Iraqis. All of this was demonstrated by the University of Mosul adopting the establishment of the College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering. From this standpoint, the college seeks to be distinguished locally, in the Arab world, and globally by obtaining international academic accreditation for all its educational programs and in all its departments, in which primary and higher degrees are granted and an exchange relationship is built with international universities and international oil companies to reach high levels of performance for faculty members and students. . And in order to qualify oil engineering cadres who are able to use advanced technologies and equipment and put them in the oil fields to help increase production and custodians of their national wealth.
