On Nov. 2, 2007, the College of Earth and Energy was renamed in honor of OU alumnus, Curtis Mewbourne, of Tyler, Texas. In recognition of his outstanding and longtime support of the University of Oklahoma and its programs in petroleum and geological engineering, and for his pioneering leadership in the field, the newest college at OU was renamed the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy. Mewbourne is a 1958 OU petroleum engineering graduate and founder of Mewbourne Oil Co.

Included in the college are the Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering, the ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics, and the Oklahoma Geological Survey.

The University of Oklahoma Biocorrosion Research Center is pleased to announce the continuation of its partnership with energy companies ConocoPhillips and Total.  The latest increment of $150,000 is designed to support ongoing research in biocorrosion – a problem that impacts the entire value chain in the oil and gas industry.  Dr. Joseph M. Suflita (Institute for Energy and the Environment) serves as Director of the interdisciplinary initiative that involves many other OU laboratories.  The Center is working to develop new methods and technology to diagnose and mitigate microbial processes that are at the heart of the industry-wide problem.  To learn more about the Biocorrosion Center, please visit our website at http://biocorrosioncenter.ou.edu/index.html.

Younane Abousleiman (Integrated PoroMechanics Institute) and Roger Slatt (Geology & Geophysics) presented a poster titled "Multi-scale, Brittle-Ductile Couplets in Unconventional Gas Shales: Merging Sequence Stratigraphy and Geomechanics" at the 2011 American Association of Petroleum Geologist annual convention. It was selected for the Jules Braunstein Award (best poster at the convention) and the Loyd Carlson Memorial Award (best poster by one of the AAPG divisions).
