INSTITUTE OF DRILLING AND PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
In a highly specialised market, such as oil & gas, every potential employer needs to position itself to win the increasingly high-stakes war for talent. Failure to attract the required high skilled expertise can have a major impact on a business as the organisation not only loses the potential skills uplift internally, but typically loses it to the competition.

To this effect, Hiring companies are therefore increasingly partnering with specialist recruitment agencies to source and supply oil and gas personnel across a broad range of disciplines including Administration, Business Development, Engineering, Construction, and Drilling and Well services.
IDPE’s main objective is to bridge the gap between the academics and the industry, attract the required skilled expertise for Oil and Gas Companies and to make Nigerian graduate more trainable and employable in the Oil and Gas Industry.
