Dear Reader, As I reflect on my journey as a Woman in Power Trainee at Daystar Power Group, I am amazed at the breadth and depth of this experience. Initially, one might assume that the focus would solely be on technical aspects and renewable engineering solutions. However, I have come to realize that this program is a beautiful blend of everything, encompassing not only technical trainings but also etiquette, team bonding events, and more. In just three months, I have completed a remarkable number of courses, surpassing any previous achievements. The program is designed to challenge us to think on our feet and step outside our comfort zones. Some of the notable courses I have completed include Effective Selling and Negotiation skills at MacTay, which emphasized the importance of being a sales consultant and recognizing oneself as the greatest commodity of all. Additionally, the Microsoft Suite pack at Tabs and icons Consulting has equipped me with proficiency in Microsoft Excel, eradicating any feelings of impostor syndrome. Thanks to Daystar’s commitment to quality, I have also undergone in-depth QHSE training facilitated by the Daystar QHSE team. Furthermore, I have had the privilege of participating in Project Management training with BANWO CONSULTING among many other valuable courses that have expanded my knowledge and skills. Recently, I had the opportunity to rotate within the Sales Engineering Department, where I worked alongside exceptional professionals who spared no effort in training me and patiently addressing my incessant questions. During this rotation, I gained hands-on experience working on various cost sheets, such as the PaaS diesel, PaaS battery, and SaaS. I was also introduced to Helioscope, a software used in PV simulation, and learned how to prepare proposals that cater to clients' energy needs while simultaneously reducing their costs and carbon footprints. The realization of how much I have yet to learn is both humbling and exhilarating. As the famous saying goes, "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room." I am pleased to say that I find myself in the right room, surrounded by individuals who inspire and challenge me to grow. Currently, I am working under the Project Engineering Team, anticipating the experiences that lie ahead. Rest assured, I will keep you updated on my progress. See you in the next quarter!

What is it like to be a woman working on oil wells? The Field Engineer community blog today features Peninnah Isom Akumute who works as a coiled tubing field service engineer for HYDROSERVE. Peninnah has a degree in electrical and electronic engineering from University of Port Harcourt as well as a post graduate diploma in petroleum technology. She is based in Port Harcourt in Nigeria. Women in engineering The number of women in the oil and gas engineering is increasing. What can increase it more? I think there are three main ways to encourage more women into oil and gas. 1. Jobs More job openings for women in the oil and gas engineering. 2. Mentors Improve mentorship as here in my country, we need more active professional societies, where industry professionals can mentor fresh graduates and university students. Also, raising an awareness campaign for the benefits of professional affiliations and mentorship. 3. 'Catch them young' Improve on the 'catch them young' campaign. From time to time, STEM industries should sponsor events to encourage teens and younger children towards choosing a STEM course. What advice would you give to a woman when they are the only woman in a team? Build your skills and expertise, be confident in your abilities, be authentic and genuine, develop strong relationships and allies; remember to stand-up for yourself. What would you say to a woman who is considering working in the oil and gas industry? She needs to keep developing her skills, know the limit of her physical strength, be discerning, be supportive of other women and most importantly she needs to develop mental toughness. As a female in the field, you may work with male colleagues that are very supportive. But there may be a few occasions you’re likely going to meet a male counterpart that would feel irritable to see a woman in the field and could try ways to make you feel inferior. Hence, you need to build a healthy self-esteem, speak up against such marginalisation and build a tough mind-set. (I have experienced these things on few occasions while working with other service providers.) What are your tips for feeling confident and not out of place? Being proud of the small things, believe in your cause, speaking up, learning to say no and acceptance - that it's OK to be wrong.
