ADNOC, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals ink pact

UAE's Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on Thursday signed a framework agreement with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) to explore potential opportunities for collaboration in research and development, and development of a student-ADNOC graduates exchange program.

The agreement will increase collaboration in research and development topics such as enhanced oil recovery, field development optimization, and oil and gas processing further downstream, which can increase the performance and returns on ADNOC’s assets and capital.

The two institutions also establish a mechanism that will allow ADNOC employees to undertake post-graduate education in key oil and gas degrees, courses and trainings at the university.
