We are earth and energy. The Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy improves people’s lives through research, education and service by studying Earth’s past and present, developing new energy tools and resources, and creating geoscientists and engineers who work across disciplines to address some of society’s most critical challenges.
Founded in 1900 by Charles Gould, the School of Geosciences has been a leader in geosciences research and education for over a century. The School has been a global leader in education and research in topics related to hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, but now includes research programs spanning aspects of organic, inorganic and environmental geochemistry, and hydrochemistry, planetary geology, structure and geophysics of earthquakes and induced seismicity, near-field and crustal-scale geophysics, paleoecology and paleoclimate, paleomagnetism, and mineralogy/petrology.
The Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering is ranked among the top for petroleum education. Students of MPGE can expect an education unparalleled to others with industry responsive curriculum, state-of-the-art laboratories, renowned faculty, a multicultural environment, and opportunities for hands-on learning and engagement with top industry professionals.

The new Williams Office Suite for Sustainable Energy in Sarkeys Energy Center will provide space for research and community.
Eight proposals have been funded by the Strategic Equipment Investment Program from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Partnerships. Equipment purchased under this program is expected to advance research and creative activities at the University of Oklahoma.
A study led by University of Oklahoma scientists gives new insight into pressure monitoring of the Arbuckle Group, a deep wastewater disposal reservoir in the mid-continental United States. The findings indicate that over three-and-a-half years, pressure in the Arbuckle has decreased while injections continue.
A team of researchers from across the University of Oklahoma Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy, Los Alamos National Laboratory, with industry partners, have been awarded an $18.7M grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to investigate commercial subsurface storage of carbon dioxide (CO2).
