"It is a privilege for us to receive this software grant from Halliburton. The software program will enable students to practically apply scientific and theoretical principles to real-world scenarios. This will greatly benefit students in the realm of practical experience and prepare them well for careers in the oil and gas industry. It is also perfectly in sync with UTP’s commitment to produce industry relevant and industry ready graduates,” said Professor Ts. Dr
