2 © Copyright, 2005, TAMU 2 What does the future hold? By 2050 oil and gas well drilling and production will be less important Current oil and gas companies will be energy companies A new discipline—Energy Engineering—will be needed Current Petroleum Engineering departments will eventually change Steve Holditch July 2004
