Introduction to Andrew Wright

My name is Andrew Wright, and I am a Junior Petroleum Engineering student at the University of Oklahoma. I am from Austin, Texas. My current career goal is to have a job, despite the current crude oil prices.

One of my favorite classes thus far has been Petroleum Economics. I really enjoyed learning about how the non-technical side of the oil and gas industry works, and why Petroleum Engineers make some of the decisions that they do. Our professor, Dr. Moghanloo, also worked very hard to make sure we understood what it meant to be an ethical engineer, and how to make decisions in that mindset that are beneficial to our company, local communities, the environment, and ourselves. That is one of the many reasons that I believe this class will have a lasting impact on my future career.

My greatest academic accomplishment thus far is earning the highest grade in my class on the Reservoir Rock Properties lab reports. My team members and I worked for many hours every week to ensure the lab reports were completed on time, and to our high standards. It was a very satisfying feeling to be rewarded for the hard effort my group and I made in the class.

My family has a corgi, named Satchel, who lives back at home. He can be fun to hang out with, but a little needy at times.

My favorite place to visit is Destin, Florida. Check out a picture I posted in here.

My favorite TV show is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I have been watching it for years, and I still find it to be the funniest sitcom on TV.

My favorite food is breakfast tacos from the Texas Honey Ham Company, pictured below. I usually order a bacon egg and cheese ranchero.
