The Oil & Gas sector becomes one of the leading sectors for the Egyptian economy, the Ministry of Petroleum realizing the importance of developing the human resources, downstream skills represents the pillars of any future development plans, Workers’ attitudes are key in developing a high performance/high skill patterns. Commitment to safety, a willingness to question and to learn is attitudes required to be recruited to the oil and gas industry. Competencies are more important than qualifications in the oil and gas industry. Short Courses   Electrical Engineering  Mechanical Engineering   Instrumentation Engineering  Processing Operations  Projects Engineering  Piping Engineering & Pipeline Long-term Programs The purpose of these programs is to supply the market with qualified engineers specialized in engineering disciplines related to petroleum and petrochemicals engineering covering downstream aspects of the industry. The graduates would have comprehensive knowledge of the entire petroleum industry with special emphasis on sized experience in oil and gas operations. Elective courses will emphasize downstream disciplines. As will as on the upstream side the geological aspects, oil and gas exploration, drilling and production in addition to evaluation the downstream will focus on maintenance and asset integrity, devoted to gas processing and petrochemicals, in addition sufficient background knowledge of basic engineering sciences, economics, safety and environmental engineering in addition to project execution and management. it will be a combination between classroom studies (50 %) and practice in field (50 %), the programs curriculums will be a good base for the Egyptian Petroleum Institute EPI, these programs will be started to delivered during 2008 for the upcoming projects of petroleum sector as the Petrochemicals and Natural Gas Projects.
