What do wind turbines, EV batteries, military equipment and your smartphone have in common? They all depend on critical minerals.

A Texas A&M research team led by Dr. Roman Shor is working to make finding these valuable resources faster and more efficient. With $3.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E ROCKS program, the team is developing a drilling system that uses advanced sensing and AI to identify critical minerals in real time.

Our next Summer Student Spotlight is Kyler Ross!

This summer, Kyler interned Well Intervention Intern with ConocoPhillips! She will be a senior this fall and will graduate in December.

"After I graduate, I want to apply my time at Texas A&M to expand my foundational knowledge of the industry. I hope to work in a wells engineering position to furhter my experience in drilling, completions and well intervention," she said.

Congratulations, Kyler! 👍

Next up on our Summer Student Spotlight is Mason Gubser!

This summer, Mason worked as a drilling intern for Oxy!

"I spent the summer working in the Midland Basin Unit where I completed a case study evaluating the value of Oxy's first-ever Midland Basin U-turn wells could bring to the asset," Mason said. "This experience was especially meaningful because of the amount of time I spent on the rig. Being in the field gave me a strong operational foundation and directly supported the technical work behind my project."

This fall, Mason will be a senior and plans to graduate in December.

"Upon graduating, I am hoping to enter any kind of drilling or production role. I hope to enter the workforce in a field position that way I can build the strongest background I can for myself early on in my career."

Congratulations, Mason! 👍

Next up on our Summer Student Spotlight is Edward Millard!

This summer, Edward worked as an Investment Banking Engineering Analyst at TPH&Co!

"This summer, I worked on oil and gas upstream and midstream M&A deals in the Lower 48 basins and gained exposure to reservoir engineering, geology and finance," said Edward.

This fall, Edward will be a senior and plans to graduate in May '27.

"Post graduation, I hope to work as an engineering analyst with TPH&Co. I believe this is the ideal path to build upon my engineering foundation by working at the intersection of technical and financial analysis," he said.

Congratulations, Edward! 👍
