LASER PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCES CENTRE, (LPGC)
...Bridging the gap between classroom and the industry.

Laser Engineering started about twenty-seven (27) years ago and her vision is primarily to utilize local resources in solving the intellectual problems in the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry.  As part of her mission, Laser is committed to training young Nigerian graduates to enable them acquire skills that will properly prepare them to work in the industry.  We not only enrich the knowledge of the Nigerian graduates on the theory of oil and gas business, but we get them involved in field development studies.  The results of this effort are acknowledged in the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry by the dominant roles Laser trained graduates play in both oil operating and servicing companies in Nigeria.

In 2006, the Nigerian Government announced plans to establish practical institutions that will properly prepare our young secondary school leavers and university graduates.  The vision of the government for this program is focused on the development of skills and talents, provision of industrial and practical experience in such areas as engineering construction, oil and gas, information technology, etc, for the Nation’s industries.  The programme further seeks to increase private sector participation in the provision of Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) and Training Institutions.

The Managing Consultant of Laser Engineering and Resources Consultants Limited who is also a Professor of Petroleum and Gas Engineering in the University of Port Harcourt, Professor Mike O. Onyekonwu, in a bid to fulfill his vision of training young graduates responded and collaborated with the Government in developing the Geoscience curriculum.  In 2007, Laser received a license to formally set up our Geoscience Practical School.

LPGC is currently located in three (2) cities of Nigeria: Port Harcourt, Lagos. We have graduated above 250 students who are gainfully employed in the industry. We have also successfully trained various batches of sponsored students from NCDMB, PTDF amongst others.

Presently in Nigeria our universities lack in the areas of research and hands-on or on-the-job training, leaving our youths with little or no practical skills upon graduation. They are often force to travel abroad after their first degree to acquire these skills in order to be more sellable on the job market. Laser Engineering saw the need to overcome this challenge by offering quality practical knowledge to our youths. This was the reason Laser Petroleum Geosciences Centre (LPGC) was formed.

It is our pleasure to introduce our Professional Training Centre to you:

This is a Government accredited (National Board of Technical Education - NBTE) and licensed Vocational Centre that is designed to bridge the gap between the University class room learning and the oil and gas industry required skills. Our courses are for workers and graduates of Geosciences, Engineering and related disciplines who are interested in using engineering, geology and / or geophysics to explore for and develop oil and gas fields; and, for those aspiring for a profession in the Oil and Gas Industry. We offer a 4-month (for experienced personnel) and a 9-months (for fresh graduates) intensive Geoscience training with a 3-months internship in the company.

The participants receive a thorough grounding in the principles of exploration and oil and gas field development, whilst being exposed to the practical aspects of the oil and gas industry gained by our staff and consultants through years of experience around the world. On completion, candidates of the 9-months programme are awarded a Diploma. Our aim is to produce professionals with excellent competence, technical expertise and experience, multi-disciplinary and team skill, for optimum productivity, to enhance Nigeria's global competitiveness in the oil and gas industry.

 HOW LPGC WAS BORN

Nigeria as a country has been blessed with a lot of resources such as minerals and petroleum as well as human resources. Our government has been taking actions so that progressively our petroleum resources will be completely managed and harnessed by indigenes. In that line, young Nigerian are being sponsored by the government, producing companies or individuals, to be trained and develop skills necessary to thrive in the petroleum sector. And hopefully, there exists local institutions capable of providing such training. Laser Petroleum Geosciences Centre (LPGC) is one of them.
