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
