PGE was pleased to host ten undergraduate student research interns this summer. Over the course of ten weeks, each student worked full-time on a departmental
project of his or her choosing and got a taste of life as a graduate student. The Summer Research Internship Program gives promising undergraduates the chance
to experience firsthand what graduate-level research in PGE might be like. This summer’s program attracted students from a wide variety of backgrounds including
Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Liberal Arts, Geology, and Trinity University’s Engineering Science program. Topics included
heavy oil recovery, properties of drilling muds, carbon dioxide storage, and nanoscale research. Thank you to Drs. Matt Balhoff, Paul Bommer, Steve Bryant, Martin
Chenovert, Chun Huh, Quoc Nguyen, Mukul Sharma, and Sanjay Srinivasan for supervising the work of these students and to Glen Baum for coordinating their lab work.
PGE would like to extend our gratitude to BP and Peyton Yates (PE, B.S. ’65, M.S. ’66) for supporting this valuable program.
