説明

<p>INPEX Corporation established the employee study abroad program in 2010 with the aim for its employees to gain advanced technical expertise in the oil and gas exploration and exploitation industry and to be core persons demonstrating their leadership for promoting the company's technical skills and capabilities. The author studied in Geophysics Department at Stanford University from 2011 to 2015, by taking the advantage of the program.</p><p>In order to complete the Ph.D. program in the department, graduate students must satisfy the following requirements to: 1) complete required course works, 2) pass a qualification examination to be a Ph.D. candidate, 3) conduct a 2nd research project, 4) serve as teaching assistant for classes, and 5) contribute for academia through a main research project, which is evaluated through Ph.D. dissertation and an oral examination. As the main research project, the author studied on the effect of mesoscopic-scale heterogeneity on wave propagation in porous media. I found the importance of considering dry-rock heterogeneity scale, average porosity, and permeability of rocks under investigation, which determine characteristics of frequency-dependent velocity and attenuation.</p><p>It is certainly not an easy task to fulfill these requirements and to complete Ph.D. program; however, that will be an unequaled experience for future development of the careers as a geoscientist in the industry, not only by the deep understanding on topics studied during the research projects, but by other tasks required in the program. There are several choices for studying abroad such as a M.Sc. degree program or a visiting researcher as well as a Ph.D. program, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. Companies and candidates should discuss with each other deeply and frequently to make objectives of studying abroad clear and to set the most valuable study program both for companies and for employees.</p>
