HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE (NORTHEAST CAMPUS) MISSION STATEMENT:
Houston Community College will be the most relevant community college in the country. We
will be the opportunity institution for every student we serve – essential to our community’s
success.
WELCOME:
We welcome each of you to a semester of intricate study based upon an industry and datarelated inquiry of the salient and functional features of the oil and gas industry. Each student
should be prepared to exit this course with a more expanded view of this industry than when
they first entered. Scholarship and class participation in all of its aspects is the key and that is
what will be expected.
Course Description:
A study of the petroleum industry will be undertaken from the
Exploration and Production perspective. The current knowledge and
technical aspects of the oil and gas industry will be taught with
regard to the various operational functionalities as outlined in the
course content.
Prerequisites:
None
Course Goals:
Students will be able to understand the operational aspects and the
process of the explorations and production of hydrocarbon from the
theory and application, and make conclusions. Students will be able
to speak more responsibly in the industry, college, on work teams in
order to perform the designated and various tasks needed in the oil
and gas industry.

Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System
At Houston Community College, professors believe that
thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching
and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to
answer a short online survey of research-based questions
related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will
be made available to your professor and division chair for
continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as
part of the Houston Community College Student System online
near the end of the term.
