PNGIT

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Higher Institute of Technology and Training is the first institute in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that offers technical education and training in the fields of petroleum and natural gas exploration technology. The Institute is a partner of the government in the development of the Saudi human resources and in meeting the vital needs for qualified and well-trained Saudi people to work in these fields. The Institute offers technical and continuing education programs which are not covered by other educational institutions. These programs cover a wide range of technical professions in the exploration, drilling, production, processing, transportation, and maintenance in the oil and gas industry. Great emphasis is given to technical knowledge, practical training and professional skills. The Institute aims to share in the vision and objectives of companies involved in the oil and gas industry. The Institute appreciates the companies’ contribution in specifying their needs which are valuable inputs in the assessment and improvement of its programs and courses. In addition, the quality of student field training is enhanced through the Institute’s interaction with these companies. The Institute is working in collaborative efforts with the Saudi Human Resources Development Fund and the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Program for Youth Development, which will contribute in financing the training programs of young Saudis to be qualified for employment in the oil and gas technical jobs.
