IFP students with Total E&P Qatar Managing Director Stephane Michel, deputy chief representative Dekhil Abu Salaa and head of institutional relations Khaled Yousuf
A group of 16 students and two professors from the French Petroleum Institute (IFP School), which is an international benchmark for education in the fields of oil, gas, petrochemicals, was in Qatar recently to discover and learn about all the important oil and gas sites in the country as part of their study tour.
IFP, one of the top European post-graduate schools has a truly international dimension, admitting close to 50% foreign students from more than 50 different countries and has an industrial focus in energy at all levels. The university allows engineers to specialise in further technical and operational knowledge of the energy industry.
With the help of Qatar Petroleum, Qatargas, Qapco and Total, the students visited Dukhan’s QP production facilities, Qapco (Messaieed) and Ras Laffan Industrial City. The students were particularly impressed by the size of all these sites and the dimension of their operations.
