Learning beyond the classroom: The IPES PGD Batch 17's insightful visit to Geoplex DrillTeq Limited. #IPES #GeoplexDrillTeq #NNPC #TotalEnergies #OilAndGas #PetroleumEngineering #FieldExperience #EnergySector

Last week, our PGD Batch 17 students had the privilege of learning from Dr. Samuel Izidor, a distinguished Oil & Gas Production Professional and retired Advisor at TotalEnergies. The session marked the commencement of Petroleum Module, offering a concise yet technically robust exposition of the industry. Students explored key concepts such as hydrocarbon formation and accumulation, subsurface dynamics, surface production operations, product processing, refining technologies, as well as essential safety protocols and career pathways. Student also gained a solid theoretical understanding of the well life cycle, field development planning (FDP), and rig systems. Particular emphasis was placed on well control, with insights into kicks and blowouts, alongside prevention and mitigation strategies. Well perforation techniques and their role in optimizing reservoir productivity were also examined. Overall, the session was highly impactful. We look forward to more intellectually stimulating, professionally enriching, and insight-driven engagements as the program progresses. #NNPC #TotalEnergies #IPES #PetroleumEngineering #FieldDevelopmentPlan #OilAndGas #EnergyIndustry #ReservoirEngineering

After weeks of intensive learning, continuous assessments, and rigorous examinations, the journey has been both demanding and deeply rewarding for the IPES PGD Batch 17. The Easter break provides a well-deserved opportunity to rest, recharge, and reflect, while also creating room to participate in the Well Intervention Summit and gain valuable industry insights. It was also a great experience interacting and engaging with fellow students, sharing knowledge and perspectives. #wellinterventionsummit2026 #TotalEnergies #NNPCL #SPEPHC #uniport #IFP

The PGD Batch 17 students of the Institute of Petroleum and Energy Studies, University of Port Harcourt, had the privilege of learning from Dr. Daniel Abia, a Projects & Operational Safety Leader at TotalEnergies, with over 8 years of experience driving initiatives that strengthen HSEQ frameworks. His role spans multiple offshore and onshore locations, where he oversees risk management processes, safety engineering reviews, and the implementation of risk reduction measures. Partnering with cross-functional teams, he has contributed to achieving significant safety milestones, including over 18 million man-hours without lost time incidents. The sessions offered a valuable opportunity to tap into his wealth of industry knowledge while fostering a forward-thinking mindset toward the evolving energy landscape—particularly the role of strategic leadership and innovation in the energy transition. Through a series of engaging and insightful sessions, we explored key concepts in Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), including Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and the implementation of robust Safety Management Systems. We also gained practical insights into incident investigation and reporting, safety culture development, leadership responsibility in HSE, and the importance of regulatory compliance in the oil and gas industry. A strong emphasis was placed on proactive risk management, environmental sustainability, and the integration of safety into every stage of operations. We concluded the training with a practical safety drill, including hands-on use of fire extinguishers—an experience that reinforced the importance of preparedness and real-time response in ensuring workplace safety. Overall, the sessions were impactful and enriching, equipping us with practical knowledge and reinforcing the critical role of HSE in achieving operational excellence and sustainable energy development. #HSE #EnergyTransition #SafetyFirst #Leadership #OilAndGas #ProfessionalDevelopment #IPES #Uniport #PetroleumEngineering

What happens when the brightest minds in petroleum engineering share a room? To find out, we took the IPES cameras inside the 2026 Well Intervention Summit to capture this groundbreaking event in Port-Harcourt. For two days, our students stepped out of the lecture hall and into the heart of the industry to spend the day with the experts who are solving the industry's toughest extraction challenges through pure innovation. They heard the bold ideas, met the minds driving them, and gained the real-world perspective needed to truly stay ahead of the curve. Textbooks may teach the fundamentals, but events like the 2026 Well Intervention Summit teach the future. Thank you @SPEPortHarcourt for such an engaging summit. History was made! #Wellintervention #SPE #Portharcourt #EnergyInnovation #IPES #Uniport
