It’s no secret the oil and gas business is a thriving industry in West Texas. With such a pivotal movement in our region, it’s important that UTPB students have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field. That’s where Katharine Harrell steps in.

Katharine Harrell, J.D., is the Program Coordinator for the UTPB Energy Land Management program and oversees the Business Law classes. Originally from rural southwest Louisiana, Katharine’s love for law and the energy industry is what brought her to the Permian Basin.

Harrell has been a member of the Texas Bar since 2007 and is a member of both the American Association of Professional Landmen and the Permian Basin Landmen’s Association. With her skills and expertise, she now introduces and connects our Energy Land Management students to the energy industry.

“I’ve spent my entire career in both the land and legal areas of the energy industry. I was working in the energy industry in the Permian Basin up until I began as a full-time faculty member at UTPB,” Harrell said.

Katharine says that she’s always enjoyed being part of the energy business. “The people that I have worked with or encountered over the years are a very talented group of professionals. There are always new case laws coming out and changing technology that keeps this industry forever evolving and interesting. This is also an industry full of colorful characters, so there’s never a dull moment and the stories are always good.”

UTPB is proud to have an innovative and inspiring professional in the industry and at our university!

Dr. Pinyarat Sirisomboonsuk, or “Mink,” as she prefers, is an Assistant Professor of Management at UTPB and now, she also holds the title of published author.

Dr. Mink teamed up with co-authors, Drs. Erik Larson and Clifford Gray, to bring together the textbook, titled ‘Project Management: A Socio-Technical Approach.’

The book was published by the highly coveted academic publishing company, McGraw-Hill and was released on January 16th of this year.

“I was invited to be the third co-author of this textbook around late summer 2022. I had most of my work done during summer 2023.”

Dr. Mink says that she feels grateful for the opportunity and experience. “Other than the learning process I personally acquired while working on this textbook project, I feel accomplished that I was able to put not only my name but my University name (UTPB) on the textbook that is selling worldwide.”
