 This Thursday morning, the University’s Training and Qualification Center organized a scientific symposium for oil and gas engineering students entitled “The Petroleum System in the Republic of Yemen and its Prosperity,” under the supervision of the College of Engineering and Information Technology. It was presented by an expert in the oil industry, M. Adel Abdullah Al-Hazmi, Undersecretary of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Authority for the Production Sector. 

 

 In his opening speech, the President of the University, Dr. Nasser Hadi Al-Mofari, stressed the importance of this symposium as part of the university’s endeavor to provide its students with the latest knowledge and skills that enable them to contribute to building a bright future for Yemen. He pointed out that the oil and gas sector represents a fundamental pillar of the national economy, and that the university is keen to qualify national cadres capable of facing the challenges of this sector and contributing to its development. 

 

 The symposium, which was opened by Dr. Fouad Hanash, Secretary-General of the University, and Department Coordinator, Eng. Muhammad Osama Al-Maqtari and the Director of the Training and Qualification Center, Mr. Fathi Salman, detailed the petroleum system in Yemen and touched on the most important productive sedimentary basins (Al-Masila - Al-Saba'tain) and the rest of the sedimentary basins present in Yemen in terms of composition, depositional environment, and conditions prepared for production. 

 

 The symposium also discussed the five most important elements in the petroleum system that make the oil reservoir a reservoir capable of collecting oil economically. Through these elements, it identified the differences between the Sabatain and Masila basins and the most important essences of those differences in terms of the geological groups, composition and composition, and the driving mechanism in the two systems. 

 

 This is in addition to clarifying the most important subsurface geological phenomena in Yemen (faults - salt domes - anticlines - and bedrock) and how they are distinguished through seismic data and images, and knowing their effects and how to deal with them. 

 

 Finally, the symposium provided an explanation of the importance of processing seismic data using “Petrel” simulation programs for oil and gas reservoirs. 

 

 Engineer Adel Al-Hazmi praised the level of students in the theoretical aspect of exploratory operations and the importance of linking them to the applied aspects of the extractive industry in the Republic of Yemen.
