On Thursday, August 7, 2025, the College of Engineering and Information Technology at the Emirates International University organized a unique scientific symposium for students in the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering entitled "The Petroleum System and Future Prospects for Oil and Gas in Yemen." The symposium was attended by the Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Secretary-General, Dr. Fouad Ismail Hanash; the Dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology and Head of the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering, Dr. Ibrahim Fareh; and the Dean of the Center for Development and Quality Assurance, Dr. Sharaf Al-Hamdi. A large number of oil and gas engineering students from the university were also in attendance.

 

The symposium highlighted Yemen's vast oil potential, its promising capabilities in the oil and gas fields, and the strategic role these resources can play in supporting the national economy and achieving sustainable development.

 

 During the inauguration of the symposium, Dr. Fouad Ismail Hanash, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Secretary General of the University, emphasized the importance of these scientific events in linking academic disciplines with practical reality, strengthening the university's role as a source of knowledge production, and contributing to nation-building.

 

The symposium, presented by Engineer Walid Qasim, a faculty member in the department (with 15 years of experience in oil exploration and geological and petrophysical evaluation of layers), addressed the importance of the oil and gas sector as an economic lever for Yemen. He noted that investment in this sector represents not only an economic opportunity, but a national necessity.

 

He explained that studying oil and gas at the UAEU represents a pioneering step in developing a specialized national cadre capable of managing and investing in these vital resources.

 

The symposium reviewed Yemen's most prominent sedimentary basins and their petroleum potential. The importance of developing technical personnel in the oil sector was also addressed, considering it one of the most prominent challenges in the current situation.

 

 Engineer Walid Qasim pointed out that Yemen possesses promising reserves of shale oil and gas, especially in the Al-Jawf, Tihama, and Red Sea regions, which he described as "Yemen's living ammunition." He called on the relevant authorities to create an appropriate environment for investment in these vital regions.

 

This symposium comes within the framework of the Emirates International University's commitment to enhancing cognitive and practical awareness among its students, engaging them in discussions of major national issues, and linking academic specializations to the labor market and development needs.
