As part of the College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering’s efforts at the University of Mosul to keep pace with technological advancements and enhance the programming and practical skills of academic staff and students, the Department of Petroleum Reservoir Engineering organized a specialized training course entitled “Advanced Applications in Petroleum Geology: Well Data Analysis and Reservoir Characterization Using Python.” The course was held from 8–10 November 2026 and delivered by Dr. Maha Muneeb Al-Dabbagh and Dr. Saad Waleed Saadi.

The course aimed to highlight the advanced capabilities of Python programming in modern petroleum geology applications, particularly in well data analysis and reservoir characterization. It explored the use of programming tools and computational techniques to process, analyze, and interpret geological and reservoir data.

The course sessions placed particular emphasis on Python applications in well log interpretation, analyzing logging measurements, and deriving reservoir petrophysical properties. These applications contribute to improving interpretation accuracy and enhancing the efficiency of reservoir evaluation processes. The course also introduced participants to the potential of programming and automation in advancing professional practices and scientific research in the oil and gas industry.

This course reflects the College’s commitment to integrating modern digital and programming technologies into engineering education and scientific research, while developing technical and practical competencies in line with the requirements of digital transformation and the rapidly evolving petroleum industry.
