Daneshy: How to maintain Houston's dominance as energy capital
In an op-ed for the Chronicle today, Ali Daneshy, the director of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Houston, comments on Halliburton's recent decision to relocate its headquarters to Dubai and what Houston can do to maintain its dominance as energy capital of the world.
Unsurprisingly, Daneshy identifies the University of Houston as an underutilized asset:
In light of this, Houston must strengthen its technology infrastructure within the metropolitan area. The University of Houston can serve as the focal point for much of this strategy. Surprisingly, the city that claims to be the energy capital of the world does not offer an undergraduate petroleum engineering education. This needs to be rectified quickly.
It also wouldn't hurt for the university to promote petroleum economics/finance/management programs as well.
Daneshy's op-ed is available here.
UPDATE: The Chronicle's Brett Clanton reports on the general topic.
