SLB–ESPOL Corporate Chairs Successfully Completes Training in Reservoir Engineering

Participants in the Closing Ceremony of the SLB-ESPOL Lecture Series

Como parte de la clausura, la coordinadora de la carrera de Petróleos, la Ing. Cecibel Castillo, M.Sc., agradeció a SLB y al equipo de ponentes por su compromiso, tiempo y aporte durante el desarrollo de las cátedras, y destacó el éxito alcanzado con esta actividad académica.

On Friday, August 28, the SLB–ESPOL Corporate Lecture Series came to a close. This academic initiative, focused on Reservoir Engineering, was coordinated by the Petroleum Engineering program in the Faculty of Geosciences Engineering (FICT), in partnership with the multinational company SLB.

The program took place virtually from July 10 to August 28, consisting of four modules spread across six sessions totaling 20 academic hours. During this period, more than 40 participants took part, including 9 international attendees from Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, and Bolivia, who expanded their knowledge through content and experiences shared by professionals in the oil sector.

The initiative helped strengthen the link between academia and industry by creating a space for specialized training involving professionals from the sector. This collaboration brings the Polytechnic community closer to the knowledge and experiences related to professional practice in the field of Reservoir Engineering.

As part of the closing ceremony, the coordinator of the Petroleum Engineering program, Cecibel Castillo, M.Sc., thanked SLB and the team of speakers for their commitment, time, and contributions throughout the course, and highlighted the success achieved through this academic activity.

Based on this experience, FICT, on behalf of ESPOL, and SLB hope to continue developing academic activities with the aim of expanding opportunities for specialized training for the benefit of the polytechnic community.
