The quest for excellence is the motivation to study abroad. Overseas study presents me with the opportunity to be exposed to world class, practical learning experiences, and facilities which conform to acceptable industry standards. As a matter of fact, apart from learning the theories and principles in the various courses, I want to be able to carry out experiments to see for myself and better appreciate the lessons learnt from the classroom.
Moreover, most technological breakthroughs and inventions are usually from abroad and more often than none, students from these foreign Universities contribute actively to these advancements. Therefore, they (the students) are abreast with recent technological developments. Over the years, I have demonstrated capacity and a unique ability to thrive in the midst of challenges. This is because I see potentials for learning in every situation I find myself. I believe this attitude would be of help particularly when real-life work challenges are presented and discussed as teams in my class.
Throughout my undergraduate days, I have found the subject of Reservoir Engineering particularly fascinating. It is a discipline that I consider the heart of the Petroleum Engineering profession. As a matter of fact, I have been greatly influenced by the experience I obtained in the Shell Petroleum Development Company, Warri as a Youth Corper, in the Reservoir Engineering Discipline. There I was able to work with Professionals and Industry software like Saphir to carry out checks on Static Gradient Surveys done on some intervals and Schlumberger Oilfield Manager (OFM) where I was able to generate historical production performance plots and decline curve analysis for various fields and intervals that had problems with wax and were shut-in. Furthermore, I was able to able build initial Material Balance models with gathered reservoir data using the IPM MBAL software.
As a Petroleum Engineering graduate, I have a desire to practice the profession and the scholarship would go a long way in making me a thorough-bred professional, able to compete with the industry's best and equip me with the necessary skills to add value to the pool of Nigerian professionals and contribute positively to the local content initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the Oil and Gas sector of the economy.
