JOGMEC Cooperates with National Universities

Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) announced on Monday JOGMEC concluded an agreement with Kyoto University and Chiba University for cooperation in researches and human resource development for petroleum engineering, geophysical exploration and geologic science fields.JOGMEC and Kyoto University will cooperate in technology development for petroleum engineering and geophysical exploration based on fundamental researches by Kyoto University and advanced researches by JOGMEC. They will examine physical models and analysis evaluation methods for reservoirs for example.JOGMEC and Chiba University seek technology improvement for oil and gas exploration and development. They will examine analysis evaluation methods for depositional basins and oil deposits through structural geology and sedimentology approaches.JOGMEC will send instructors to both Universities to grow workers and technicians in mineral fields. JOGMEC will also invite professors and researchers from both Universities as instructors for JOGMEC’s technical seminars.
