The Petroleum Technology Development
Fund (PTDF) is a parastatal of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources established
by Decree 25 of 1973 dedicated for the purpose of development, promotion and
implementation of petroleum technology and manpower development through
research and training of Nigerians as graduates, professionals, technicians and
craftsmen in the fields of engineering, geology, geosciences, management,
economics and relevant fields in the petroleum and solid minerals industry in
Nigeria or abroad.
Our mission is to train Nigerians
to qualify as graduates, professionals, technicians and craftsmen in the field
of engineering, geology, science and management in the oil and gas industry in
Nigeria or abroad. We have a vision to serve not only as a vessel for the
development of indigenous manpower and technology transfer/acquisition in the
petroleum industry but also to make Nigeria a human resource centre for the
West African sub-region.
