Due to the longstanding partnership between Total and Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP), Total recently hosted a cohort of 23 students pursuing engineering master degrees in France. The three-day programme included visits to Total’s offices and research centre, and industrial cities in Raslaffan and Dukhan.
The students met with Total’s top managers, and engaged in discussions on topics ranging from Total’s operations and assets, to the geosciences projects, research and development and importance of HSE (health, safety and environment).They were given presentations showcasing Total’s various initiatives in the field of scientific research and sustainability. They also interacted with research teams who work in Total’s research facility (TRC-Q). Their visit ended with a tour of the LNG facilities in Ras laffan, and Qatar Petroleum’s Dukhan facility.
“We are happy to contribute by increasing the awareness of students in Qatar’s role in the global energy supply. This will hopefully inspire more students to consider a future in the oil and gas business,” said Guillaume Chalmin, Managing Director of Total E&P Qatar and Group Representative.
Yousef Al Jaber, Head of CSR and Institutional Relations at Total E&P Qatar added: “The state of the art facilities present in Qatar, and their history as a top player in the world energy market has become driving factors for more and more industrial visits by students studying abroad. Our strategy is to partner with such leading instutions such as IFP, and host them so that students may benefit for our experience and technical expertise”.The Peninsula
