Welcome to the Petroleum
& Geosystems Alumni page.
Alumni Names in the news
Sue Park, class of '07 has made it onto these pages at an unusually young age, 23. She was recognized in April as one of Fortune Magazine's "Faces of the Future".
A past president of the UT student chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, Sue was known around the department as a go getter, and we aren't a bit surprised to see her in Fortune Magazine.
We are just a little bit surprised that she made it so soon. Congratulations Sue.
One of our alumni, Hossein Kazemi has been named Chesebro’ Distinguished Chair in Petroleum Engineering at Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Kazemi received his B.S. (1961) and Ph.D. (1963) in petroleum engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. Congratulations.
Harry A. Trueblood, Jr. was honored in April as the "2006 Wildcatter of the Year" by the
Independent Petroleum Association of the Mountain States. This award represents a lifetime
achievement of distinguished service, and is based upon the recipient's successful 55 year
career in Rocky Mountain natural gas and oil exploration and production, community service
and support of the oil and gas industry activities and organizations. A 1948 graduate of
the University in petroleum engineering, Trueblood is the 24th recipient of this award.
Congratulations!
W.E. Findley Jr. and Jeffrey D. Hildebrand were named Distinguished Graduates of the College of Engineering on December
15th 2005. This award is the highest honor the College of Engineering bestows on its graduates.
W.E. Findley Jr received his bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering from the University and went on to found Findley
Engineering Service Company, now FESCO Ltd. Jeffrey Hildebrand earned a master’s degree in petroleum engineering and
after working in the industry, founded Hilcorp Energy Company. A third honoree, Jack Randall, has worked in the petroleum
industry throughout his career, first at Amoco, and then as founder and CEO of
Randall and Dewey; he has been a long time friend and supporter of the department. The award recognizes not only their professional success,
but their strong commitment to public service and the University of Texas. Our hats are off to all three of you.
A paper by former petroleum engineering graduate student Bovan George and Associate Professor Carlos Torres-Verdín was recognized
by the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA) as one of the two best papers published in Petrophysics, their society journal, in 2004.
The paper, "Assessment of In-Situ Hydrocarbon Saturation in the Presence of Deep Invasion and Highly Saline Connate Water",
appeared in the April 2004 issue of Petrophysics. Authors include Bovan George, Carlos Torres-Verdín, and Mojdeh Delshad of the University of Texas at Austin,
Richard Sigal and Farid Zouioueche of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Barbara Anderson of Schlumberger-Doll Research. Congratulations!
