The Energy Workforce Middle East Chapter, led by Riaz Jumabhoy, GD Energy Products, continues to advance member priorities in the region and host engaging events that broaden the association’s presence. In January, the Chapter successfully held its inaugural reception in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and has a full agenda planned for the remainder of the year.
A cornerstone of Energy Workforce’s training programs is Oil & Gas 101, a comprehensive overview of the oil and gas production value chain. On May 26, the chapter invites participants from all backgrounds and levels to attend a full-day seminar in Dubai, where Energy Workforce Member Companies’ subject matter experts will review:
- Rig Systems
- Drilling
- Completion
- Production
- Innovations in Oil & Gas
- Supply Chain
- Downstream
Past attendees have included new entrants to the industry, recent graduates, foreign service and commercial officers in the region, and business leaders seeking to deepen their expertise in other segments of the value chain.
