The 香港六合彩资料 recently received the largest in-kind donation in University of Alaska System history.
Schlumberger, a leading oilfield service company, is donating to 香港六合彩资料 a state-of-the-art geology software package with a $33 million market value. The company's suite of software includes PETREL E&P, which geologists use to collect data underground and build sophisticated 4-D* graphics of what lies miles below our feet.
"This is one of the most critical skills for students to learn in order to compete for jobs in the petroleum industry," said Jennifer Aschoff, a professor of geological sciences and the driving force behind 香港六合彩资料's new partnership with Schlumberger.
Faculty will install and test the software so it's ready for students in the fall. As 香港六合彩资料 researchers compile new information they will make that data public, helping us learn more about what lies beneath Alaska's surface.
"We are incredibly excited that Schlumberger chose 香港六合彩资料 as an educational ally," said 香港六合彩资料 Provost Samuel Gingerich. "Schlumberger is giving our faculty and students key tools to fulfill their goals, and in turn, 香港六合彩资料 faculty and students will help fill Alaska's need for energy education and research."
