Zainab Iyiola, a master’s student under the supervision of Dr. Ramadan Ahmed at the Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering, won first place at the 2025 University of Oklahoma Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition. The event was held on February 28, 2025, at the Sam Noble Museum. Zainab is the first student from the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy to win this competition.
We encourage our students to seek opportunities for personal growth and professional development. A great way to achieve this is through participating in any of the three nationally recognized Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering student organizations.
As a leading petroleum research institution, the school has attracted eminent faculty. Six faculty members have received the Society of Petroleum Engineering's Distinguished Achievement Award, three have served SPE as Distinguished Lecturers, and eight OU graduates have served as president of SPE. The school is a six time winner of SPE's Global PetroBowl Competition.
The University of Oklahoma’s Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering has been a premier research institution since its founding. The energy industry relies heavily on the expertise and innovation of MPGE researchers and the impact our studies have on the energy industry, the State of Oklahoma and the world.
