American Association of Petroleum Geologists

The OU AAPG Student Chapter is very diverse in terms of its membership with good mix of geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers from both undergraduate and graduate programs. Our main goals are to promote fellowship within the department, as well as giving our members various skills that they can transfer over into their professional fields.
