Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) continues its commitment to support the growth of global talents of oil and gas industry through strategic collaboration with Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme since 2017. The supports are in the form of various expertise and knowledge sharing including championing oil and gas technical collaboration amongst developing countries.
The collaboration between MTCP and Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) continues this year as INSTEP recently hosted the 4th training session under MTCP, which this time around themed ‘Introduction to Petroleum Technology’.
The training sessions were carried out for 5 days via Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) which comprised virtual visit to INSTEP facilities, live demonstrations by our industry-experienced instructors, video offerings, professional coaching, and role-plays.
This session was attended by 20 participants from various countries, including Algeria (2), Cambodia (2), Jordan (2), Mexico (2), Morocco (1), Oman (2), Suriname (1), Thailand (1), and Uganda (4). Among these are Petroleum Engineer, Geologist, Environmental Affairs Specialist, HR office and so on.
The programmes offered the participants an overview of Oil & Gas Industry within Malaysia and enabled them to be familiarised with the industry operations & practices in Malaysia, which include the concepts of HSE elements, sustainability development, Upstream (geology, exploration, drilling, production, etc.), Downstream (refinery & petrochemical), as well as new energy initiatives in Malaysia. The highlight of the programme was the virtual visit to INSTEP Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP), which is a live training platform that re-creates the real-world plant scenarios and allow the learners to upskill their technical competency in day-to-day operation.
Mr. Abir B A Patah, the Plant Engineer at INSTEP took the participants a tour via live demo/telecast around the Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP).
One of the participants from Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC), Lilian Nyakuni, said, “As a HR Professional in the Oil & Gas sector, the programme has given me a detailed insights of how and what our technical staff are going through in delivering their daily objectives and goals. After the programme, I know how to better support them and to create talent management strategies that are fit for our technical workforces like how INSTEP does.”
As a technical centre of excellence, INSTEP aspires to be a trusted and preferred technical learning solutions partner in the oil & gas industry and beyond. The collaboration with MTCP demonstrates INSTEP’s significant role in accelerating the human capital development not only within Malaysia, but also in the international horizon.
