The value of sustainability engineering knowledge in Oil and Gas experience
Oil and gas by nature, are finite resources hence it is difficult to imagine a role these would
play in a sustainable future. However, current data suggests that not only are they needed to
meet the demands of today but also to protect economical, efficiently, and safe ways the
future can meet their own needs; that in itself is sustainability.
Hisham, having studied sustainability at university went on to further his understanding at BP,
UK. During his time at BP, he took the opportunity to work in varied roles across the oil well
life cycle. Through his interview he highlights the importance of understanding the legacy
business as well as interesting synergies with the technologies as well as skillsets for
renewable and, oil and gas.
The impact of capital on a companies’ ability to make future investments (research and
development, graduate schemes, etc) based on his vast experience having worked in BP
during the oil crisis and currently.
The conversation delves deeper into the value of internships, transferrable skills, and
invaluable experiences within graduate schemes as well as the exciting opportunities ahead as
the world shift towards sustainability.
