In an academic setting reflecting the high level of scientific and applied maturity of the university's students, the College of Engineering and Information Technology at the Emirates International University witnessed the discussion of graduation project plans for students in the Petroleum and Gas Engineering and Chemical Engineering departments for the academic year 1447 AH (2025-2026 CE) on Tuesday.

The discussion sessions were attended by the University President, Dr. Khaled Ahmed Salah, who emphasized in his address the importance of graduation projects as the culmination of a long academic journey and a bridge connecting theoretical knowledge with practical application and the needs of the job market. He praised the quality of the proposed topics and their close relevance to the industrial and energy sectors in Yemen.

Also present was the Vice President of the University, Dr. Ahmed Al-Badani, who commended the efforts of the college and its academic departments in guiding students towards high-quality projects that promote analytical engineering thinking and innovation.

 The Dean of the College, Dr. Ibrahim Farea – Head of the Petroleum and Gas Engineering Department, and Dr. Hani Damaj – Head of the Chemical Engineering Department, along with several department heads and faculty members, attended the discussion sessions, enriching the discussions with their scientific and technical observations.

The first group of students from the Petroleum and Gas Engineering Department presented their project entitled: “Integrated Reservoir Simulation and Node Analysis to Improve Productivity in the Al-Najat Field – Field Sector S-1.” This project, submitted as part of the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum and Gas Engineering, was prepared by students Hussam Sami Al-Junaid, Fatima Khalid Al-Nahdi, and Yousef Ahmed Junaid, under the supervision of Dr. Mohammed Abbas. The project focused on employing advanced simulation techniques to improve the production performance of oil reservoirs.

 The second group from the same department presented their project, titled “A Different Injection System Using Reservoir Simulation Mode – Evaluating Secondary Recovery Methods to Improve Production in the Jawdah Field, Block 32, Seiyun Basin, Masila – Yemen.” The students who participated were: Basil Mansour Ahmed Majidi, Mohammed Omar Yahya Al-Ahrami, Osama Musleh Ali Al-Jawdawi, Radhi Ahmed Naji Al-Tam, and Ali Ibrahim Hassan Al-Qatari. The project was supervised by Dr. Abdulraqib Al-Qadi, with assistant supervisor Eng. Abdullah Abdul-Mughlis. The project discussed advanced technological alternatives to enhance secondary recovery efficiency.

The third group from the Petroleum and Gas Engineering Department presented their project, titled “A Modern Gas-to-Liquids Technology in Block 18 – Yemen.” This project was prepared by students Khalil Abdul-Karim Mubarak Al-Qaisi, Hussein Abdulraqib Ahmed Al-Azani, Shaif Awad Saeed Saleh Muaili, Mohammed Khaled Al-Barihi, and Noah Hassan Abdullah Al-Iraqi. The project was supervised by Dr. Abdul-Salam Al-Kamil and Eng. Abdullah Al-Mughlis. It highlighted promising technological solutions for utilizing natural gas and maximizing its economic value.

 The Chemical Engineering Department presented its fourth group's project, titled:

Production of Polyethylene – Study & Design of a Polyethylene Production Plant from Natural Gas. The project was presented by students: Al-Azz Abdul Salam Al-Thalaya, Emad Abdul Majeed Al-Naqeeb, Abdul Rahman Fahd Al-Barghashi, Yahya Ali Ma'sar, and Ahmed Mazhar Qamsha, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Hani Ahmed Qasim Damaj. The project focused on the design and economic aspects of polymer production.

The fifth group presented its project, titled:

Production of Petroleum Jelly from Vacuum Distillation Residue. This project, presented by students: Al-Anoud Abdul Aziz Al-Hayani, Shatha Abdul Jalil Thabit, Shahd Talal Al-Absi, and Walaa Yasser Abdullah, under the supervision of Professor Hani Ahmed Qasim Damaj, addressed the mechanisms for converting petroleum waste into high-value industrial products.

 At the conclusion of the discussions, the judging panel commended the outstanding scientific level of the projects and the students' ability to utilize engineering analysis and scientific research tools. The panel emphasized that these projects reflect the vision of Emirates International University in preparing scientifically and practically qualified engineers capable of contributing effectively to the development of the energy and industrial sectors.
