The third day of the Conference was dedicated to a new initiative, the Industry Meets University Programme which was supported by students from the King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals and the King Faisal University, College of Engineering and Senior HR Managers from Jubail Energy Services Co (JESCO) and South Rub Al Khali Co Ltd (SRAK).

Participation in the Programme provided students with great opportunities to network and establish
contacts for their future, through both the exhibition and conference. Students representing their
University Group gave a short presentation and the industry representatives from JESCO (Jubail Energy Services Co.) and South Rub Al Khali Co Ltd dedicated themselves to address student questions and provide them with an overview of the career opportunities available in the industry.

The SAOGE 2010 Conference Programme provides a new format, and will again reflect the markets requirements and build on the success of the 2009 programme.  If you would like more information, a draft agenda or wish to attend as a delegate, please contact Ms. Sarah Ashmore at sa@ies.co.it.
