Workshops
Success is assured when the learning is accompanied by skills and to develop skills, it is important to have an insightful exchange of knowledge and experiences. Keeping the importance of this in mind, UPES AAPG Student Chapter organizes a series of workshops delivered by renowned industry experts of the oil and gas domain, to build a realistic platform for the students to bridge the distance between theoretical and practical domains. In the constantly growing world of oil and gas, it is essential to engender a deep understanding of its dimensions and its applications.
