A message from
Department Chair Samuel Ameri

Welcome to the Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (PNGE) at West Virginia University. I hope that it is your goal in life to succeed in a career that is never ending, always changing, and extremely fascinating. If that is what you are looking for, then this is the place to be.

Because WVU is centrally located near major oil and gas fields, our students have the opportunity to interact with members of our industry. Through site visits, seminars, summer jobs, and socialization, students can get to know these industry personnel on a personal and professional level.

Moreover, our faculty is strongly committed to providing these valuable experiences, rather than keeping the students in the classroom; and they have a strong supportive role in meetings, activities, and student organizations, like the WVU Student Chapter of Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).

Please explore our web site.For questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

A sincere thanks,

Sam Ameri
Department Chair
