The Online Technical Camp was a global virtual learning initiative designed to equip students with essential technical knowledge and introduce them to the core disciplines of petroleum engineering. With over 50 attendees from around the world, the camp marked a major step in building a strong foundation for aspiring engineers in the oil and gas industry. This camp was designed to enhance technical skills and serve as a launchpad for students’ professional journeys.
It was divided into 3 main tracks:
This three-day technical program brought together students and industry professionals to delve into the fundamentals and advancements in well intervention. An engaging and educational experience, this event offered participants deep insights into essential well servicing operations, promoting knowledge exchange and fostering technical and professional growth.
Each day focused on a specific well servicing topic:
The Well Testing Online Bootcamp was a focused 2-day online event that united students and industry professionals as they explored essential well testing concepts and operations. This immersive bootcamp offered valuable insights into both the technical and environmental aspects of well testing, supporting participants’ knowledge growth and career development.
The interactive program covered:
Held under the theme “From Surface to Stream,” the DrillMaster Challenge 2025 was a strategic and hands-on competition that brought together junior petroleum engineering students to simulate a real world drilling operation — from the initial surface assessment to a fully tested and production-ready well.
Organized by the IADC Suez University Student Chapter and sponsored by Borais Petroleum Investment Company, the competition offered participants a platform to transform classroom knowledge into a fully integrated, field-ready project. Most notably, Borais generously offered three exclusive internship opportunities to the winning team, making this challenge a significant step toward real-world industry engagement.
The challenge welcomed teams of three students, acting as their own drilling and completion services company, to create and submit a full well delivery plan. Their technical report covered every critical phase of a drilling operation, including:
The Unconventional Drilling online technical event was held over two days and aimed at advancing student knowledge in specialized drilling technologies. This event brought together industry professionals and students to explore innovative techniques shaping the future of drilling operations.
Day 1 – Casing While Drilling (CWD)
Focused on the integration of casing and drilling into a single step, this session covered tools, advantages, operational challenges, and real-world applications aimed at reducing non-productive time and enhancing wellbore stability.
Day 2 – Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)
Participants explored how MPD technology enables precise pressure control in complex drilling environments, improving safety and operational efficiency. Experts discussed practical implementations and field results.
