The IADC Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Student Chapter has recently organized several learning opportunities for its Members. During the SLB PETREL Reservoir Engineering Course Training 2025, students delved deep into structural modeling, which is typically geologist territory but opened up new horizons for the petroleum engineers. Next, the Chapter organized the Halliburton Landmark Software Training 2025, where 15 dedicated participants immersed themselves in advanced drilling and well planning functionalities of the Landmark software. Students also had the opportunity to attend an adjunct lecture to learn about casing design, industry best practices, and real-world applications that enhance well integrity and performance. Well done to the IADC UTP Student Chapter for organizing this insightful series of educational sessions for students!

The first-ever IADC Geothermal Drilling Conference is happening later this month! Join us to be at the forefront of the future of energy.
