ESTABLISHMENT BACKGROUND
Where desire meets determination.
UTM-MPRC INSTITUTE FOR OIL & GAS started as a Petroleum Industry Training Committee (JLPP) in 1985. Members of the committee were PETRONAS, Factory and Machinery Department, Local Consulting Departments, the gas industry local entrepreneurs and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. It was officially launched by Yang Berhormat Dato’ Mustafa Mohamed on the 2nd of July 1997.
With an estimate of 98 TCF (Malaysia Energy Statistic Handbook, ST, 2015) gas reserves offshore along the Malaysian coast region, a wide range of industrial opportunities become prominence.
Malaysia has entered the Gas Era with the implementation of the PETRONAS owned Peninsular Gas Utilization Project (PGU) in 1984, which benefits the residential, commercial, four-fuel diversification policy also gives a momentum to increase the usage of natural gas. The result of growing gas utilization is the development of private and local companies and legal bodies which are directly involved in promoting this industry.
Based on the aforementioned statement, UTM has taken lead to form The Institute for Oil and Gas to become the coordination centre for the local and international professionals in the oil, gas and energy industries. The Institute for Oil and Gas is an accredited training centre for professionals in oil, gas and energy industry by Energy Commission of Malaysia (ST) and had acquired the accredited certification for its calibration laboratory services under the ISO 17025 scheme for its pressure and temperature testing.
