For technologists of foreign oil producing countries, TRC started JNOC-TRC Overseas Training Program in 1989, in which JNOC invited overseas technologists to Japan, paying all their costs including air fare and living expenses during their stay in Japan. There are two purposes for JNOC to hold this program. One is to strengthen the relationship between Japan and oil producing nations by enhancing human relations, and the other is that Japan would like to make contributions to the advancement of the world petroleum development technologies as being one of the largest oil consumers.
TRC holds four courses each with a duration of three months, i.e., Reservoir Engineering, Geophysics, Advanced Drilling Management, and Exploration Geology. Three of the four are being held every year. Each course is mainly composed of lectures, workshops and field trips given and guided by experts. Additionally, Japanese language classes, orientation programs for learning Japanese culture and short trips inside Japan are included.
Since the Training Program started in 1989, total 22 of the courses has been conducted, and 334 of overseas technologists were participated as of June, 1996. The participants are from a variety of countries in Asia, Africa, Former Soviet Union, the Middle East and South America, which names of the countries are: China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Iran, U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, Tanzania, Nigeria, Angola, Zaire, Gabon, Papua New Guinea and Peru. Saudi Arabia, Russia, Turkmenistan, Mexico and Venezuela are the countries which are newly participated in the JNOC-TRC Training Program in 1996.
Along with the current JNOC-TRC Overseas Training Program, JNOC Fellowship Program is established in 1996, which is arranged for the overseas technologists from oil producing countries. The program is carried out by Japanese oil companies at their facilities or at certain universities.
