The state of Texas has many schools for petroleum engineering.
Texas Tech University defines petroleum engineering as "the practical application of the basic and physical sciences of mathematics, geology, physics, and chemistry and all of the engineering sciences to the discovery, development, and production, and transportation of petroleum." U.S. Energy Information Administration statistics show that Texas produces the most petroleum of any state in America, and petroleum engineering students in Texas will benefit from quality classes as well as the opportunity for experience in the field.
