With the  presence of the President of the University of Technology Prof. Dr. Amin Daway Thamir , the Department of Petroleum Technology Engineering held a scientific symposium entitled: "Using Artificial Intelligence and Simulation in the Oil Fields Development " at the conference hall .The symposium attended by a large number of researchers and professors from various Iraqi universities and scientific institutions in addition to  the faculty members of the scientific departments and research centers at the University.

The seminar aimed at introducing industrial intelligence applications in the oil industry within many sectors such as refineries, drilling engineering, production engineering, reservoir engineering as well as reservoir modeling in addition to the most important developments and modern technologies concerning the applications of the artificial intelligence and mathematical representation in the petroleum industry.

The symposium included three main   aspects:

first: the  applications of artificial intelligence in oil refineries .

 second: the applications of artificial intelligence in reservoir, drilling and production engineering

third:  modeling and mathematical representation of oil reservoirs.

The  lectures were delivered by the head of the research and development department at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research Dr. Youssef Khalaf , Dr. Ahmed Khalil from the Reservoir Department at the Ministry of Oil , Dr. Ghazwan Nuri from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Kufa , Dr. Muhammad Abdul-Amir from of the Faculty of Engineering at f the University of Misan , chief of Engineering director Mr. Kadhim Hamoud from  Misan Oil Company in the Ministry of Oil in addition to the Head of the Petroleum technology  branch at the petroleum  Department, Dr. Fadel Sarhan.

 At the conclusion of the symposium , the Head of Department, Prof. Aqeel Shaker Al-Adily, granted  a  certificate of appreciation  to the members of the preparatory Committee, the Scientific Committee and all the lecturers for their  distinguish efforts towards succeeding the symposium .
