This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a course on the 27th October, 2010. It will be held at Room 2, 2nd Floor, Wisma IEM, Petaling Jaya. The course is worth 6.5 CPD or PDP points.
Drilling discipline in the oil and gas industry tends to be seen as the hard-core engineering and operations in the hostile environment that many potential engineers try to shy away from. This one-day seminar shall try to answer some of the questions that many people have, such as how is the drilling process done, what is it like to be a drilling engineer? The design process explanation shall take you from the Conceptual Design, Detailed Design and Final Design stages. From designing the well trajectory, directional design, casing design, drilling fluids formulation, cementing formulation, perforation, securing and completing the well to ensure that the production reaches the surface safely.
The course will be presented by En. Razak Yakob. He has been in the oil and gas industry for 14 years working for companies such as ExxonMobil, Halliburton, and Talisman Energy. As a consultant, he has worked in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Algeria and others. Currently, he is an independent consultant providing consultancy for Drilling Engineering to PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd. He graduated from Colorado School of Mines in the United States with a degree majoring in Petroleum Engineering and a minor in Mechanical Design.
Flyers for the above and other events may be obtained here. A map to Wisma IEM is presented here.
I appeal to readers, come on and send yourselves and staff to these courses. I need the support.
