Petroleum Engineering 资本运动

的 following describes the major needs and goals for the Petroleum Engineering program 在威尼斯人app下载. In summary, the list includes:

的 first two are substantial and are considered long term goals. 的 third, lab facilities, is a continuous process of upgrading and replacing 设备. As a result, some 设备 needs are short term, such as upgrading old 设备, while otheres are long term; e.g., purchasing new 设备. 的 last item, funds for student activities and professional development, re-occurs every academic year and consequently is a short term goal.

 

赋予职位

的 兰登B. Taylor Endowed Chair in Petroleum Engineering was created in 1989 to honor the significant contributions of Lang Taylor to New 墨西哥科技. It was created by students and alumni and supported by industry. 目前, the balance in the fund is 1.3 million which generates funds to support one-half of 教员工资. 的 goal is to fully support one faculty position, which will require an additional 100万美元.

的 John Kelly/校友 Endowed Chair in Petroleum Engineering was created in 2011 to honor the contributions of the John and Ester Kelly Family 到威尼斯人app下载. 的 fund was initiated by the family with the request the endowment grows through donations from the alumni. Currently the balance of the endowment is 100万美元 which partially supports a faculty position. 的 goal is to fully support one faculty position, which will require an additional $1.500万年.

 

实验室设施

To provide students with the latest technologies and 设备 we are continually modifying and upgrading the Petroleum Engineering Department's lab facilities. 我们的 immediate need is to upgrade and expand he computer 设备 in the Reservoir Characterization 模拟实验室. Equipment is + 8 years old and thus outdated and chronically failing. In addition, the latest growth in enrollment in petroleum engineering has increased demand, which further complicates the failure rate. 的 program is in need of $50,000 to replace and expand technology 设备, including computers, projectors and auxiliary 设备. We are requesting your support to achieve this goal and provide the tools necessary to graduate the best students. 的 Reservoir Characterization and Simulation Lab was created to allow a petroleum engineering student access to state-of-the-art software and thus be prepared for engineering practice. We have $+50 million worth of commercial software, licensed via Educational Grant programs administered by many 顶级公司. We are the only program outside of CS and DE to have this advanced technology in the classroom. Many former students have indicated they use the same software at work and thus greatly benefited from having this background at New Mexico 科技. A longer range plan is to create an endowed fund to support lab facilities. 的 annual interest would provide a source of stable funds to support all petroleum 工程实验室. 我们的 current goal is to raise $400,000 towards this effort. 

 

Student/教师 Support

In addition to 设备, the program supports student activities and faculty professional development. As examples we have supported:

Professional development of faculty to conferences and symposiums. 参与 these events provides exposure and recognition to NMT.

的 Wild Well Control School-extremely popular among the students and beneficial as all students receive well control certification.

Student travel to conferences and contests.

Collaborating with the SPE and AADE student chapters in sponsoring the widely popular SPE golf tournaments, the Langdon Taylor Banquet, and field trips to drilling and/or production facilities.

 我们的 goal is to raise $20,000 to augment the department's budget
