  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I completed an Oil and Gas Exploration, Production and Operations training course and feel that this has given me a great foundation of the oil and gas industry, especially in well operations. The practices I learnt in the lab were also important, these skills include the importance of time management, preparation, and safety analysis. I am looking forward to using these skills I have developed through the internship in both my studies and during my career.
