First Posted: 3/18/2013 Lackawanna College announced it will establish the School of Petroleum and Natural Gas in its New Milford location and offer two Associates of Science Degrees in Petroleum and Natural Gas Technology and Natural Gas Compression Support Technology.
Due to an increased need for graduates with petroleum and natural gas technology-specific science degrees not only locally, but across the Appalachian Basin and nationally, the College has decided to transform the New Milford Center location to a dedicated Petroleum and Natural Gas Education Center. The Center will continue to offer general education and business courses as well as continuing education programming that serve the needs of the residents of Susquehanna County and beyond.
These competitive two-year programs offer specific petroleum and natural gas industry courses on a campus dedicated to the growing oil and natural gas industry. The educational experience at the School of Petroleum and Natural Gas boasts intimate class sizes, individualized attention to the needs of each student and delivers all required courses for graduation at the New Milford site. Major oil and gas companies located in the region, including Anadarko, Cabot Oil and Gas, Chesapeake Energy Corp., Williams Midstream and Southwestern Energy support the School of Petroleum and Natural Gas and hire many of its students upon completion of the two-year degree programs.
Graduates are afforded a diverse selection of petroleum technologist and technician careers in the oil and natural gas industry. The School of Petroleum and Natural Gas will also offer continuing education courses including subject materials in compression technology, field handling of petroleum and natural gas, and more.
Richard C. Marquardt Jr. will serve as the School&#8217;s Executive Director. Richard has B.S. Degrees in Petroleum Engineering and Management, and has worked as an Engineer, Area Engineer, Production Engineer and Consultant. Over the course of his career he has been employed by major oil and gas production and service companies including Tenneco Oil Exploration and Production and Halliburton. He has also held senior engineering management positions for high tech manufacturing operations.
