PTQI- Petroleum Training and Qualifying Institute

Welcome to PTQI

Technical Departments

The institute has taken the responsibility of providing the industry with quality technicians in different key areas. To live up to such a commitment, students are admitted according to very strict criteria. As an institute of training and qualifying, PTQI is committed to providing students with the necessary skills and technical know-how through quality training that would enable them to competently perform all job related tasks needed in the oil industry in Libya. In this respect, PTQI is devoted to harness a student centered approach that aims at creating a learning environment that facilitates self development and continuous improvement. To serve this purpose, there are currently 9 technical departments:

  • Drilling Department

    • • The Drilling Department aims at improving the quality of both the scientific and practical aspects of its curricula which include drilling technology equipment.
    • • Training at this department includes assembling, disassembling, maintenance, work preparations, and testing.
    • • The drilling fluid laboratory at this department is fully equipped with modern machinery and equipment.
    • • The department includes a full drilling Device (IDECO H 35) and is currently working on introducing off-shore drilling operations within its curriculum. This department also includes a complete drilling simulator (DS- 5000).
