Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Ashraf Heniegal, President of Suez University, the IADC Suez University Student Chapter participated in the IADC World Drilling 2026 Conference and Exhibition, held in Estoril, Portugal, on June 16–17, 2026.
Representing the university at this prestigious international event were Ahmed El-Sayed Mobasher, a third-year Petroleum Engineering student, and Engineer Maged Al-Ahmadi, a 2024 graduate of the Petroleum Engineering Department. The conference provided them with a valuable opportunity to explore the latest global drilling technologies, participate in high-level technical and discussion sessions, and engage with student chapters from internationally renowned universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia, and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) in Malaysia.
Prof. Dr. Ashraf Heniegal, President of Suez University, stated that the university’s mission extends beyond providing distinguished academic education within its campus. It also seeks to open global horizons for its students, enabling them to serve as ambassadors for both Egypt and the university on the international stage. He emphasized that such international participation contributes to enhancing the university’s global standing and helps prepare a generation of graduates equipped with the skills and expertise needed to align with Egypt’s vision and the rapid pace of technological advancement worldwide.
For his part, Prof. Dr. Essam Ahmed Ali, Dean of the Faculty, expressed his pride in this distinguished representation, stressing that participation in such events is far more than an educational trip. Rather, it constitutes a fundamental pillar of the faculty’s strategy to develop future engineers capable of competing at both local and international levels.
He also extended his appreciation to Prof. Dr. Adel Amer, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, and Associate Professor Dr. Nevine Ali, Student Activities Coordinator and Academic Supervisor of the chapter, for their continuous support and their efforts in empowering students to participate actively in international forums and professional events.
