Field visit for oil and gas engineering students to the Geological Survey

University media

Today, Wednesday, the field visit program for students of the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering, level two, was launched at the College of Engineering and Information Technology at the university, within the framework of the plan and activity of the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering to implement what is studied in theoretical courses in practice. Where the department organized the first field visit for the students of the department to the General Authority for Geological Survey. The scientific training visit included a visit to the library of the Geological Survey Authority to get acquainted with the different types of books and scientific references, topographic, geological and hydrogeological maps (water maps), geophysical maps atmospheric (such as magnetic and radioactive) and the sections produced and available in the library Geological Survey Authority and listen to a detailed explanation of the nature of maps and how to use them. The authority’s laboratories were also visited, and the departments of the authority’s laboratories were reviewed, the available devices, the nature of their work, the method of preparing microscopic slides, chemical and radiological examinations, and the movement stages of the samples being analyzed, and identifying the staff working in the authority, including engineers, chemists and technicians, and listening to them about an explanation It is complete with most of the devices in the examination and analysis, and samples of some of the results of the analyzes. The most important devices available that the students got to know during the visit are: .XRF;ICP; AAS;UV; XRD ;etc. During the visit, the students were also briefed on some geophysical surveying devices, well imaging devices and drilling rigs Available in the Authority, as well as getting acquainted with the devices for detecting water and detecting metallic minerals such as iron, copper, cobalt, silver and gold, and devices for studying the stratigraphic sequence. Determining the sedimentary thickness, geological structures and some similar devices, including oil exploration devices. SYSCAL 2; IP ; IRIS Proton Magnetometer; EM,VLF; Seismometer Geonex. The Geological Museum was also visited, which is filled with many expressive scientific exhibits, which allowed the student to learn about the different stages of the emergence of the earth, times, geological ages and stages of life, represented by some fossils, molds and stamps in some rocks, types of minerals and igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, and clips and models about oil extraction. And gas and crude oil samples, models of drilling rigs that operate on land or at sea, and review of some industries produced from the remains of petroleum materials such as plastics, ropes, pharmaceutical drugs and cosmetics. The mini-mine was also identified in the Authority and the tools and supplies that are used in the means of occupational safety in the mines. The students also got acquainted with the geological and lithological sector of Yemen from the reality of a wall panel built with original natural rocks representing all layers of rocky construction in the sedimentary basins of the Republic of Yemen and knowing the potential sedimentary rocks that are expected to contain hydrocarbons (oil and natural gas). The first scientific visit was organized under the supervision of Dr. Faisal Saeed Hazeem, a faculty member in the department, with the participation of Eng. Abdo Saleh Al-Aghbari, a faculty member in the department, and engineer Muhammad Al-Ansi, the college coordinator, and the engineer Ali Khasrouf, a teaching assistant in the College of Engineering, and continuous follow-up by the Dean of the College, Dr. Khalil Al-Wajeeh, and Dr. Ibrahim Al-Qubati, Head of the Oil and Gas Engineering Department.
