Al-Ayen Iraqi University’s College of Petroleum Engineering recently held a workshop titled "Fundamentals of International Well Control Forum (IWCF)," focusing on essential techniques and equipment to prevent uncontrolled leaks, or "blowouts," of oil, gas, water, and other substances during drilling. By equipping students and faculty with professional well-control practices, this workshop indirectly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) by reducing the risk of environmental contamination, including water pollution, resulting from such leaks. This training aligns with the university's commitment to promoting safe, sustainable practices within the oil and gas industry to protect water resources and the environment.
