The University of Civilization, like a beehive, concluded the workshop to discuss the university’s strategy until 2025. The university’s leadership then shifted its focus to oversee all student affairs, including the summer training for third-year students in the Petroleum and Gas Engineering department. The university’s leadership visited the training site at the Oil Exploration and Production Authority, and an agreement was reached to formalize the collaboration between the authority and the university. At the end of the visit, the management presented a commemorative gift to Dr. Abdulhameed Al-Sadoun, which was received by Dr. Saad Al-Atabi. The summer training course had already begun, sponsored by Mr. Nasr Ali Al-Humaidi, the head of the Oil Exploration and Production Authority, and Dr. Ali Ismail, the president of the University of Civilization.
The opening of the training program for the third-year students in the Petroleum Engineering department at the University of Civilization took place from September 19th to October 28th. The program was held at the Yinc Information Development Project headquarters. At the beginning of the opening ceremony, Mr. Nasr Al-Humaidi delivered a welcoming speech, expressing his pleasure to see a constellation of university students for the third consecutive year. He wished the students success and prosperity in their professional lives. Dr. Ali Ismail also emphasized the importance of students acquiring various types of knowledge and academic achievements throughout the program, which extends over six technical courses. He expressed gratitude to the head of the authority and the project for their level of preparation and organization.
The program includes the following technical courses:
1. Introduction to Petrel software: The course covers the following topics: data input and display, interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic data, fracture distribution, 3D structural modeling, property modeling, reservoir property distribution, petrophysical modeling, and facies modeling. It also covers volumetric calculations of rocks, hydrocarbon reserve estimation, well design, and preparation of the final report.
2. Introduction to IP software: The course covers the following topics: recognition of different types of well logging, understanding petrophysical properties of reservoir rocks, creating a database in IP software, inputting various log data, graphical and numerical display of input data, quick-look evaluation of wells and rock content, well log analysis for estimating mud volume, porosity, and oil saturation, and preparation of the final well analysis report.
3. Introduction to Eclipse software: The course covers the following topics: understanding the simulation mechanism of oil reservoirs, defining the three-dimensional cell grids used for reservoir discretization, representing reservoir rock properties and fluid properties within the reservoir cells, defining and representing supporting aquifers in the reservoir, controlling oil wells and production systems under history matching, understanding the input and output rules for data in the software, adding and specifying data in the software, building and executing an integrated reservoir model, and analyzing the results after processing them in the software.
4. Sedimentary Basins and the Petroleum System in Yemen: The course covers the following topics: introduction to petroleum exploration tools, understanding the stratigraphic column of Yemen, reservoir and source rocks in Yemen, petroleum geology characteristics of basins, petroleum system of each basin, and petroleum system in basement rocks.

5. Introduction to Pipesim Software: The course covers the following topics: performance analysis of oil wells, designing models for pipeline networks and surface facilities, conducting nodal analysis, developing black oil and compositional fluid models, determining flow correlations for multiphase fluids, and designing surface network models.
6. Introduction to OFM Fundamentals Course: Creating a production data project using five different international methods according to the standards adopted by various oil production companies, and according to a unified system in field measurements and calculations. Preparing and customizing oil well maps according to global coordinates adopted in wells, fields, and sectors. Understanding and designing different types of field maps in the program, understanding projection methods for various field information on maps, sorting and classifying field information. Creating and implementing various calculations on oil data, linking them to production and injection realities, and performing auditing, inspection, and data quality processes to enhance the performance of production wells and present them in the form of charts and field reports. Assisting in decision-making and monitoring all production processes. Preparing and designing all types of diagrams (single, multiple, periodic) and designing and creating all reports (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) at all production stages and at all levels. Creating a comprehensive end-of-course project that enhances cumulative knowledge and practical experience by implementing all the steps, processes, and procedures on the project for each individual or group of students.
