Mission statement: Because we are aware that Iraq situation has placed the new graduates in very

critical situation of lacking experience and communication skills to what the market really needs, thus

what we end up with is an abundancy of fresh grads who has no idea about how to plan the career or

how to compete in these harsh market conditions. In Bibaan we took the responsibility to do our best

to bridge this gap between what the market needs and what the new grads have already. We believe

that everything, every effort counts. We will try to find what the markets is looking for and give it to you

for free.

Main activities:

1- Skills development workshops: With the cooperation with the NGOs in Basra we hold

workshops that are directed mainly to the newly graduated engineers to explain and help

them how to engage the current market and what are the areas they really need to work on

and invest time.

2- Through our social media channels we try to keep focusing on the latest in the industry and

career planning and we are willing always to answer and guide remote people who cannot

make it to any of our events.

Data about the candidate who is nominated for a fellowship:

Relevance of the study

Relevance for the candidate: Atheer is researching in the field of data analysis and missing
data in oil field and how to predict the missing features in oil reservoirs. Geostatistics stands
as the missing piece of the puzzle that will enable him to fully understand and integrate
what he has already to the newly gained knowledge toward a broader understanding to our
geological settings in Rumaila Field.

Relevance for the employing organisation: Having one of staff with this new knowledge will
enable us as an organization to extend our activities to a new level of professionals and will
open a new horizon of clients to serve. In addition to that, we think that this course could
open the door of new research direction on our reservoirs especially that we already have
the data.

The candidate is expected to implement the newly-acquired knowledge and skills no later
than six months after successful completion of the study. Please include a plan of activities
below, including their objectives and along a timeline. Please be as specific as possible. You
