As part of the scientific activities of the Department of Petroleum Reservoir Engineering at the College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, the training course entitled “Mechanical Behaviour of Rocks in Petroleum Reservoirs” was successfully concluded on Thursday, 12 November 2026. The course was held from 8 to 12 November 2026.

The course aimed to enhance participants’ understanding of the mechanical properties of reservoir rocks and their response to stresses and pressures. It also highlighted compressive and tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio, emphasising their importance in engineering applications and the stability of geological formations.

This course forms part of the college’s efforts to develop participants’ scientific knowledge and practical skills while bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world challenges in petroleum reservoir engineering.

Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7): Affordable and Clean Energy

This activity contributes to advancing engineering knowledge and technologies that support more efficient utilisation of petroleum resources and more effective reservoir management.
