Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) today announced a multimillion dollar
software grant to the Colleges of Science and Engineering at Sultan
Qaboos University in Oman. The grant provides access to leading
industry software in geoscience, drilling and reservoir management
so that students can gain practical experience to prepare for
successful careers in the oil and gas industry.
The software, provided by Halliburton Landmark, includes a
number of programs related to earth science and petroleum
engineering disciplines that provide an opportunity for students to
apply scientific and theoretical principles learned in the
classroom to real-world scenarios. By incorporating these
technologies in their curriculum, students will gain exclusive
access to programs that help engineers locate, extract and produce
oil and gas.
“Halliburton recognizes the importance for engineering students
to have access to the latest tools to prepare them for successful
careers. These software programs are used by companies in Oman and
across the world and will give students first-hand knowledge of
their use,” said Zeinoun Klink, vice president of Halliburton’s
Eastern Gulf Region. “We are proud of our collaboration with Sultan
Qaboos University and confident that this grant will complement the
strong oil and gas curriculum to help the faculty prepare the next
generation of professionals.”
