[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

Proud to celebrate @UT_PGE students, faculty, and staff. The Hildebrand Dept. is focused on providing the best engineers to the #oilandgas industry - making #energy reliable, affordable and #sustainable - as well as creating leaders to meet reduced carbon demands for the future.

[UT PGE @UT_PGE]

Still No. 1! It wouldn't be possible without our dedicated faculty and staff, exceptional students, and alumni who are changing the world by creating a #sustainable #energy future. #WhatStartsHere🤘

Just finished SPE golf tournament. Great time. Thanks to UT SPE - especially Cindy Yang - for organizing. #UT_PGE

[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

Proud of Professor Pyrcz and his accomplishments in the @UT_PGE department. He now knows the secret handshake and everything! #highereducation #petroleumengineering

[Michael Pyrcz🌻 @GeostatsGuy]

I was notified by Dean @rtbonnecaze & Chair @ProfJEOlson (@UTAustin) of my promotion to full professor!

I am full of gratitude to our university, students, staff & faculty. You amaze and inspire me. This is my dream! Thank you for your support. #WhatStartsHere #HookEm

@UT_PGE alumni - I hope to see you in Houston on Feb 2 for our NAPE happy hour, co-hosted w/ UT's Jackson School @txgeosciences. #alumni #petroleumengineering

[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

@bobgilbertUT @theNAEng @ut_caee Congratulations Bob! A great honor.

It seems that depending on energy from a politically stable country like the USA is superior to importing from Russia or countries with questionable intentions. Thank you shale revolution and the oil and gas business! #oilandgas #EnergyTransition #petroleumengineering

CHART OF THE DAY: American gross exports of crude oil and refined petroleum products last week surpassed the 11m b/d mark for the first time ever. Truly, the US has become the gas station to the world | #OOTT #EnergyCrisis #EnergyTwitter

[UT PGE @UT_PGE]

The first day of our 2022 #Petroleum #Science and #Technology Institute is in the books! PSTI brings #Texas high school #STEM teachers to campus for a week to learn about #energy, technology and #engineering, and how to integrate what they learn into their own classrooms.

If you are proud of Texas the place, and are invested in the conservation of what makes it great, you need to see this movie, narrated by Matthew McConaughey. #conservation #wildlife #Texas https://t.co/Ur91E6WFXI

More with less.

On a per barrel of oil equivalent (oil+gas) we are at all time highs in the US. Each employee is “responsible” for ~260BOE per day. Amazing considering the layoffs last year and current demand this year.

@MichaelEWebber :(

[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

@MichaelEWebber Of course, it is not nearly as much fun to just keep driving what you are already driving....

[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

@MichaelEWebber I agree. If you are in the new car market anyway and want long term savings, EV's are attractive.

[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

More reality…

Having fun celebrating Jiacheng’s PhD completion. Great job! As to my likeness enshrined in plastic, I bet even ⁦@GeostatsGuy⁩ doesn’t have one of these! ⁦@UT_PGE⁩ #UTGrad22 ⁦@UTAustin⁩ ⁦@CockrellSchool⁩

[Jon Olson @ProfJEOlson]

The happy chaos of graduation. How many PhD’s does it take to draw (form) a straight line? Congrats to ⁦@UT_PGE⁩ and ⁦@CockrellSchool⁩ students this week, for their great accomplishments. #highereducation #engineering #graduation
