The Hildebrand Department launched its inaugural “Greening the Oilfield” speaker series last fall, bringing five major oil and gas companies to campus to speak with students over the course of the academic year. Sponsored by Shell, the series presented graduate and undergraduate students with opportunities to learn more about how companies continue to provide affordable, reliable and sustainable energy to the world while making environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards a priority.
“Leading the global energy transition is a crucial part of UT PGE’s curriculum and research,” says Sara Hernando, senior alumni and constituent relations coordinator. “The companies that recruit and hire our students are also hard at work addressing this challenge, and we wanted them to be able to share their projects and plans with the next generation of petroleum engineers.”
