:: About PETEX
Petroleum Extension Service (PETEX) is a unit of the Division of Continuing Education at The University of Texas at Austin. Headquartered at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus north of the main university campus, PETEX develops, produces, and distributes publications and audiovisuals aids. PETEX also conducts live-lecture, hands-on training courses at a training center on the North Harris College campus in Houston. The majority of these courses are for field-level employees. Other courses are for those who do not work in the field but require knowledge of it.
The PETEX mission is to ensure its continued value to the energy industry by providing relevant, cost-efficient training and training materials. To do this, PETEX has regular input from an advisory board of individuals with years of experience in the industry. Although PETEX receives valuable support from Continuing Education and The University of Texas at Austin, its operational funding comes solely from the course fees and sales of materials.
PETEX offers the following products and services:
- reference manuals and training publications
- audiovisual aids
- training courses
