Technical Solutions Training Program｜Japan
Oil and Gas Development Consulting and Engineering Company, Japan Oil Engineering

JOGMEC and JOE have provided a training service for the Technical Solutions Training Program of JOGMEC since 2014. Collaborative service includes: planning and coordination of the overall training program and conducting training courses as lecturers.

The main training theme for each training course was selected based on the key concept of oil and gas development in an environmentally-conscious-manner; i.e. “HSE management” for the first year, “Zero Emission” for the second year, and “EOR and Sustainability with Zero Emission Technology” for the third year. Along with lectures, workshops were also conducted, aiming to help participants from oil and gas producing countries find technical solutions through active discussions. The participants also had opportunities to visit various leading Japanese companies, such as waste recycling system toward low environmental burden (at oil refinery, cement company, iodine recovery plant, etc.), research center for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), solar thermal energy, hydrogen energy and then discuss such technologies potential application in their countries.

JOGMEC and JOE have received positive feedbacks from the participants that they were able to share their experiences as well as problems they faced beyond the boundaries of countries and/or companies throughout the three-week-seminar in Japan.

Note *) “Technical Solutions Project”: a new initiative, launched in 2013 by JOGMEC, in which JOGMEC conducts technology development collaboratively with a wide range of Japanese industries to customize advanced technologies and offer “technical solutions” for the challenges in oil and gas E&P projects. This training program is one of the key components of this initiative. Please refer to the following internet homepages of JOGMEC:
