Despite huge investments in Sindh in the Petroleum Exploration and Production sector, Sindh rarely produces adequately skilled manpower to take up jobs in the Oil Exploration and production companies. Therefore, realizing the need and importance of technically trained and skilled technicians in the field, the Government of Sindh, with financial assistance from the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources, Government of Pakistan, established the Petroleum Technical Training Institute (PTTI) in the field of Petroleum Technology at Khairpur in 2009-2010.

PTTI, Khairpur is well equipped with state-of-the-art technology to provide the latest training facilities as well as 3 years of DAE in Petroleum and Chemical Technologies as per the needs and requirements of E&P companies. The education at PTTI, Khairpur will include lectures, presentations, group discussion, and above all real-life practical exposure through field trips, and job, training followed by internships. During the training, students will have an opportunity to apply the practical concepts in real-life scenarios.

In this institute, short certificate courses for six months and one years, 3-years Diploma of Associate Engineer (DAE) courses, Bachelor of Science (BSc) and BS degree programs are being offered.
