Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) has achieved remarkable success at the Malaysian Universities National Oil and Gas Paper Competition (MUNOGPC) 2025, securing first place in the Geoscience track, second runner-up in the Reservoir and Production Engineering track, and second runner-up as well in the Data and Digitalisation track.

This competition gathered petroleum engineering students from universities across Malaysia, providing them with a platform to showcase their research, analytical skills, and technical expertise across five key tracks:

  1. Geoscience
  2. Reservoir and Production Engineering
  3. Data and Digitalisation
  4. Drilling Engineering
  5. Health, Safety, and Environment


Under the guidance of Ir Eur Ing Ts Dr Harvin Kaur Gurchran Singh (Assistant Professor, School of Engineering at APU) and Ir Juhairi Aris Muhamad Shuhili (Lecturer, School of Engineering at APU), this achievement not only demonstrates a strong commitment to innovation, but also highlights leadership in developing pioneering solutions that bridge technology with practical applications.
