What I'm looking for

I'm interested in graduate trainee and entry-level opportunities in petroleum engineering, upstream operations, drilling, production, regulatory support, and related technical functions.

At the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) – Gombe Regional Office, I participated in conformity assessment activities and supported technical documentation and review during my industrial training.

I also assisted with data collection and gained introductory exposure to field inspections, HAZID/HAZOP processes, and upstream development and production activities.

For my undergraduate project, I investigated neem seed shell powder as a potential lost circulation material in water-based drilling mud, gaining practical experience in sample preparation and drilling-mud property evaluation. I completed courses in Oil and Gas Operations and Markets and Python for Oil and Gas Machine Learning.
