Training Team

JOGMEC has many training programs for both Japanese and overseas technicians in a variety of technological fields from exploration to production.

For foreign technical experts, JOGMEC started the TRC Overseas Training Program in 1989, in which JOGMEC invited overseas technologists to Japan for the purposes of strengthening human relations with oil and gas producing countries and further expanding cooperative relations between Japan and those countries. Four courses(each with a training period of about three months) in Exploration Geology, Geophysics, Reservoir Engineering and Advanced Drilling Management, had been attended by 1016participants from 39 countries by the end of September, 2006.

The program is sponsored by JOGMEC, is carried out by Japanese oil companies at their facilities, universities and related organizations.
