SOCAR AQS has hosted Petroleum Engineering students

Baku, Azerbaijan – SOCAR AQS hosted members of Society of Petroleum Engineers Baku Higher Oil School Chapter in Azerbaijan.

 

The students took an initiative to contact SOCAR AQS, the leading drilling company of the country, for an organization of a meeting to better familiarize themselves with the company and learn about the internship and employment opportunities at the organization. SOCAR AQS, being an open door organization for all the young talents, approved such an initiative and organized an event to welcome the students, answer their questions and introduce them to the working environment of an oil and gas company.

 

During a one-day event, the students were able to enjoy conversation with the recruitment team about career opportunities and the hiring process at the company. They were also able to gain recommendations on how to hunt for an internship or a job. Afterward, young visitors participated in a technical trip to Bulla Base under guidance of Technical Service Management Head, Emil Askerov.

 

Technical trip sought to present a chance for the visitors to have a closer look at the practical utilization of their theoretical knowledge. As per company policy, the students were presented general and safety instructions before the visit and were provided with safety equipment to deliver a secure atmosphere for the trip. During the trip, they were able to visit warehouses, electrical and hydraulic shops, Blow Out Preventer test area, Cementing bulks and dock, and Mechanical repair shop. Throughout the visit, the students were able to get information on each area and ask their questions to receive responses accordingly. At the end of the trip, the young visitors had a lunch at the company cafeteria side-by-side with SOCAR AQS employees in Bulla base.

 

Shortly after the event, Aytach Iskenderova, SPE BHOS Student Chapter President contacted SOCAR AQS to express gratitude on behalf of the whole team: “All participants were impressed by the organization of the event and instructions of our guides. We hope to have more such collaborations in the future.”
