CNX Hires Slippery Rock Petroleum/NatGas Grad as Engineer
January 17, 2023January 17, 2023

Cayman Kelly, 2022 Slippery Rock University graduate

For years we’ve highlighted the top-notch educational program available at Lackawanna College’s School of Petroleum and Natural Gas (PNG), now located in Tunkhannock (Wyoming County), PA (see Lackawanna College School of Petroleum & Natural Gas Expands). The PNG program is unique, one of just a handful nationwide that runs a two-year program to train students to be technicians, able to operate sophisticated machinery and run compressor stations, for example. But what if a student wants to become an engineer in the oil and gas space? What kind of programs exist for that in the Marcellus/Utica? Across the state near Pittsburgh (in Bulter County), Slippery Rock University launched a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering in 2016. A graduate from that program, Cayman Kelly, is now an associate engineer at CNX Resources.
