Ukrgasvydobuvannya attracts industry experts to work on a professional drilling standard

Ukrgasvydobuvannya continues the project launched in December 2022 aimed at developing a professional standard for the new integrated profession of Drilling Specialist. For its detailed study and consideration of all expert opinions, the Company created a working group, to which it invited representatives of industry associations, specialised educational institutions, and leading drilling companies.

At the first meeting, the working group discussed the main stages of work on the professional standard and identified key requirements for it, considering the modern industry realities, and world practices of manufacturing companies.

What's the next step? Work in groups, during which the involved experts will form their proposals for the functionality of a driller, driller's assistant, drilling engineer, and drilling technician. After consideration of these proposals by representatives of the professional community, the consolidated vision of practitioners and teachers will be reflected in the standard.

The working group includes the representatives of:

  • - drilling companies: Beiken Energy Ukraine and Poltava Drilling Company;
  • - specialised educational institutions: Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas, National University Yu. Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnical University, Drohobych Professional College of Oil and Gas, Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy named after O.M. Beketov;
  • - industry associations: Union of Drillers of Ukraine Public Organization, and All-Ukrainian Industry Association Federation of Employers of the Oil and Gas Industry.

"We want this professional standard to be as practical and useful as possible for the industry, to become a kind of foundation for training drilling specialists of the new quality that the industry needs. To this end, we strive to involve as many market participants and teachers as possible in its development. We thank those who joined this process by becoming members of our working group. We invite everyone else to express their opinion by passing a special survey on the requirements for professional training of drillers," Maryna Petrenko, HR Director of Ukrgasvydobuvannya, said.
