Top students in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Al-Naji University (both morning and evening programs) participated in a specialized technical symposium organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers—Central Iraq Section (SPE Central Iraq Section) in collaboration with the Ministry of Oil – the Petroleum Research and Development Center (PRDC) and the international company NOVOMET, which was held in the Al-Aqsa Hall at the Ministry of Oil headquarters in the capital, Baghdad.
The participation of high-achieving students at this stage represents an exceptional opportunity to experience real-world conditions and advance their academic development. The symposium, held under the title (Advanced Integrated Production Solutions), allowed them to interact directly with a select group of experts, specialists, and representatives from international oil companies.
The sessions featured specialized technical presentations by experts from NOVOMET, during which students learned about the latest technologies and practical solutions used to improve oil production processes, including:
- Artificial lift systems and submersible electric pumps (ESP).
- Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM) Technologies and their role in improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
- Horizontal Pumping Systems (HPS) and fluid injection and transport systems.
- Technologies IPOS for real-time monitoring and diagnostics to improve well performance and reduce operational downtime.
Associate Professor Dhafaf Jaafar Sadiq, Chair of the Department of Petroleum Engineering, emphasized that the commitment of Al-Naji University’s administration and the Department of Petroleum Engineering to involving top students in these international forums is part of the university’s strategy to support and nurture high achievers, and to link their theoretical academic knowledge with technological developments in the field, thereby contributing to their preparation and empowerment as future engineers equipped with the modern knowledge required by the job market.
