CGG has donated a comprehensive geoscience software and supportive training package to Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM), the oldest and largest university in Mozambique. Its Geology Department was the first in Mozambique to benefit from such a collaboration initiative as part of CGG\u2019s global University Donation Program (UDP) to further improve opportunities for local students to pursue successful careers in petroleum geosciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus of the donation was to enhance teaching and research in the specific areas of reservoir characterization and petrophysics within UEM\u2019s Petroleum Geology and Petroleum Engineering courses. Not only did CGG donate hardware pre-installed with GeoSoftware\u2019s advanced PowerLog and HampsonRussell geoscience software suites, its experts held
mentoring workshops for students, research staff and lecturers to learn more about the theory behind specific techniques, such as AVO, inversion and petrophysics, and test their knowledge with practical exercises before running case studies on the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamal al-Yahya, Senior Vice President, Software & Smart Data Solutions, CGG, said: \u201cThis exciting collaboration with UEM is similar to other initiatives CGG has already conducted in the region with Agostinho Neto University in Angola and the University of Wits in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It demonstrates our commitment to supporting leading places of learning in training world- class geoscience professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
