This year, the IPAA/PESA Energy Education Center put on one of our biggest events to date, an Oil & Gas Career Conference for over 650 students enrolled in the four Houston IPAA/PESA Petroleum Academies. Students learned the basics of the oil & gas value chain, participated in a career panel and toured the University of Houston.

Thank you to employees from ExxonMobil, Lowry Rhoads Associates, Occidental Petroleum, Oceaneering, Schlumberger, Shell, and TechnipFMC who shared advice about STEM careers. Special thanks to sponsors University of Houston, Gravity Oilfield Services, National Oilwell Varco, Schlumberger Careers, TechnipFMC, Weir Oil & Gas, and the Switch Energy Alliance who made this event possible.
