Young Professionals & Students Programme

This panel aims to spotlight the significance of all sectors partnership in the energy transition. It promotes dialogues that explores today’s most pressing opportunities and challenges across different domains. The conversation will discuss how MENA is building on its current energy heritage to be at the forefront of the net-zero future, the repositioning of the development of the workforce to achieve MENA’s goals and ensuring diversity and inclusion, the speed and scale of current technologies to achieve long term achievements, how MENA is mainstreaming sustainability in the education sector. In this panel, speakers will push the boundaries to invest in solutions that are expanded and enhanced through intersectionality between these sectors in hope to create a future that is holistic and harmonious for MENA’s economy, ecology and society.

This informative session will be the introduction to the Young Professionals and Students Program and a great start for the participants to become energized and excited for their experience. There will be introductory presentations from the Young Professionals and Students Committee Co-Chairs and it will be a great way to learn about the program and network with fellow program participants.

Technology professionals will discuss the critical role of geoscience in sustainability with focus on carbon storage, sequestration, and climate change recent researches and developments. The presentations will highlight related technologies and their influence on nature and environment.

During MEOS GEO 2023, EAGE will conduct its Geo Quiz for all students in attendance and engage in the Student & YP program.
EAGE is a truly multidisciplinary association and this is emphasized in the EAGE Geo Quiz as well. The quiz consists of several rounds with questions related to different fields in the geoscience and engineering industry. Petroleum geoscience, geology, geophysics, petrophysics and drilling are just a few of the fields that students may have to deal with during the competition. The level of the questions differs and will get more difficult along the way. The best way to compete in this quiz is with a multidisciplinary team of students.

• Every team consists of 2-3 students
• Each team will receive one remote control
• Once a team has pressed ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, or ‘d’ the answer cannot be changed anymore
• The questions will be shown on a screen
• Teams will answer the questions under time pressure

In addition to bragging rights, a great prize awaits the winning team.

Start now to build your team and once confirmed please email us at middle_east@eage.org to be registered to take part. You will have the opportunity to register on site for those last minute teams. Please visit the EAGE booth 7.G30 before 12pm on Sunday 19th. Remember the quiz takes place that day at 2pm.

In this workshop technology professionals will discuss the critical role of geoscience in sustainability with focus on carbon storage, sequestration, and climate change recent researches and developments. The workshop will highlight related technologies and their influence on nature and environment.

Sustainability Techathon offers the opportunity to work in diverse and multi-disciplinary teams to solve real-industry case study from Exploration to Development. This involves placement of exploratory wells, reservoir characterization and evaluation, selection of adequate completion types depending on reservoir complexities and presenting development strategies. Stretched timelines will be imposed on the participants to simulate real-industry dynamics in decision making & working in an integrated and multi-disciplinary environment.

The Job Fair event will host various companies from national, international, and service providers to give a chance for students to learn about potential careers in industry sectors, network, and submit resumes to prospective employers. The companies will distribute brochures highlighting their corporation’s history, achievements, goals, and ambitions. In addition to the details section of the corporate training or scholarship program, if any, with their terms and conditions for applying.

The SEG | DGS Middle East Challenge Bowl Competition quizzes the students’ breadth and depth of knowledge about the field of geoscience. The quiz-show format results in intense competition as the contestants attempt to “buzz in” first with the answers to challenging geoscience questions. It a fantastic opportunity for nominated students to go head-to-head and battle it out for the title of regional winner and will also represent the region in the SEG Challenge Bowl Finals Competition held globally later this year.

These workshops offers NLP sessions that illustrates practical methods for personal growth and influences. The NLP is essential for personal growth and improvements, it is useful for recent graduates to top managers. The NLP will enable the participants to discover their inner triggers, thoughts and emotions. Various techniques such as managing self-emotions, changing habits and building confidence will be covered in the sessions. The management and professional development will cover topics discussing healthy career, wellbeing stress management.

This workshop offers a wide range of financial terms and concepts that are essential in a real-world context. The topics would simplified with analogies from personal life for engineering and geoscience young professionals who have not had extensive exposure to finance as part of their formal education. We then aim to upscale these concepts to how a business works and eventually how the global financial market influences our day to day life. This session will provide attendees with the fundamental building blocks to enable them to dive deeper and ask the right questions related to financial data in their organization or projects. The session would conclude with the impact of finance on energy transition and the future of oil and gas.

The aim is that YP’s gain a strong grasp of the language associated with finance, grounded within the context of everyday decisions. The understanding of risk and return would benefit the attendees in their personal as well as professional life and help them use “the numbers” to their best advantage and make more informed decisions.

Energy Education Workshop aims to provide teachers the tools they need to teach STEM subjects comfortably. During the workshop, participants will experience hands-on activities using simple components to teach complicated engineering concepts used in the oil and gas explorations and production.
