Students of the Ship System Engineering Department at Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) joined the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) 2024 Education Week. After competing with thousands of other people registering, Samuel Zagota was successful to be part of 100 students from across the globe joining the international conference. IPTC is an international oil and gas conference held in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia on February 10-15. With the theme Shaping the Future of Energy, the conference focuses on explaining to students about the oil and gas industry.

Samuel Zagota explained that all participants were given the opportunity to visit world-class oil and gas company research institute Dhahran Techno Valley (DTV). Zagota explained if 100 participants from 33 countries were divided into 14 groups to finish case study challenges. In the case study, the participants were challenged to give ideas to improve oil and gas production by drilling new wells based on existing geology data. In finishing the case study, Zagota cooperated with six other participants coming from Mexico, Argentina, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and Azerbaijan.

Thanks to good cooperation, Zagota and team were successful in analyzing proper locations to drill new oil wells. Followed by students with various backgrounds like Chemical Engineering, Geology, Geophysics, Oil, and Machinery, Zagota revealed that he was the only one with a maritime background. Nevertheless, his experience in oil and gas organization at campus and competitions helped Zagota in discussing the issues with other participants.
