CGG GeoSoftware donates software suite to petroleum learning center in Russia
CGG GeoSoftware has donated a full suite of its software technologies to the Petroleum Learning Centre, a joint educational project of Tomsk Polytechnic University in Russia and Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. The donation includes training licenses for each of the software solutions (HampsonRussell, Jason, PowerLog, EarthModel FT, InsightEarth and VelPro) in its product portfolio.
Based in Tomsk, Siberia, the Petroleum Learning Centre was established by Tomsk Polytechnic University and the Institute of Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University in 2001 to train qualified professionals to work in today’s oil and gas industry. Graduates of the Centre receive two diplomas, one from the Russian University and one from the British University.
The Petroleum Learning Centre runs two MSc degree courses, one in Petroleum Engineering and one in Reservoir Evaluation and Management. A large part of both programs is devoted to individual and group reservoir modeling projects using real data. The software donation will enable students to gain hands-on experience of conducting practical projects with real field data using industry-leading software.
CGG GeoSoftware has been donating its HampsonRussell software for research and training purposes since 1987 and over 129 universities and colleges now participate worldwide.
