What Starts Here: The Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering 2022

With 28 faculty members, 24 staff members, 500 students and 6,700 alumni across the world, the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum & Geosystems Engineering is a strong, tight-knit community of people who are globally improving access to energy. The department's petroleum and geosystems engineering research enterprise is funded by $9.2 million in annual expenditures.

After receiving a $25 million gift from department alumnus Jeff Hildebrand to provide optimal outcomes for faculty and students, the department created a five-year strategic plan. The plan enables the Hildebrand Department to launch several new initiatives and build on critical existing programs.

The Hildebrand Department has identified three key priorities for its five-year strategic plan: creating a global hub for oil and gas innovation, advancing oil and gas education, and shaping the energy narrative.
