Hey, so was I. I grew up in a household of Petroleum Geologists. My dad was President of several Oil Companies, and a visiting Fellow of th AAPG. He gave graduate lectures at Universities all over the country. Petroleum geology is a very different thing than conventional geology because you are looking for organic materials.
