Petroleum & Geosystems Engineering

Students participating in the PGE 'intersession' program receive instructions atop a drilling rig in Apache, Oklahoma. The program is a hands-on experience for undergraduate students that would complement classroom theory. For many participants it represented their first introduction to an actual oilfield outside of university laboratories.
