Petroleum Professionals, or "Petro Pros", is a FREE educational guest speaker program initiated by OOGEEP as part of its education effort. Petro Pros are people employed, or retired, in the petroleum industry who travel to give approximately a 45-minute presentation on the basics of fossil fuels and the exploration and productions of oil and natural gas in Ohio.

Each professional speaker provides an overview of Ohio's oil and gas industry as well as basic understanding on Ohio exploration, drilling and production operations.  The presentations include a basic understanding of Ohio geology, seismic, engineering, environmental science, refining and safety.
