ARGAS believes in fostering geosciences talent, which is why we were a proud lanyard sponsor of the EAGE Middle East Boot Camp 2016.
ARGAS has been involved with EAGE since its foundation and maintains this long standing relationship by providing sponsorship and expertise at events in the Middle East. Our Chairman, Mahmoud Abdulbaqi was a founding member of the association and was also the first non-European president of EAGE from 2009 to 2010 – he still serves on its Student Fund Council.



ARGAS has a long association with King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), and many of its alumni are part of ARGAS.
As part of our continuous support of the University, we take part in a range of career days and support students and graduates looking to build their experience in the sector.
Fully supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiative, ARGAS is keen to collaborate with students, graduates, businesses, and institutions to help deliver this strategy.
