LSU PETE program: Boosting the petroleum engineering talent pool
That is all very true. I believe they are doing their best to "trim the fat" so to speak and weed out a lot of the incoming freshman early to help avoid these problems.
As far as I know, right now, recent graduates are almost all placed into jobs immediately upon graduating

With the predicted great crew change around the corner, the oil and gas industry continues to brace for a recruitment struggle in the years to come. The projected talent gap is even wider when it comes to petroleum engineers. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a startling 26% growth in the number of open petroleum engineer positions from 2012 to 2020. While oil and gas companies continue to launch their own initiatives to encourage STEM education and usher in the next generation of talent, one educational institution is also doing its part.

Buddy of mine graduated from LSU in PE in 1998. He was told the supply for these grads would never meet the demand. He was wrong. But..... he just made 40 this year and has a big arse house on big arse property, $$$$ in the bank, and cush arse job( he did put in quite a few years in Houston and Alaska).

I was told by a couple O&G execs (friends) that its an aging workforce and tons of older guys are retiring in next 0-10 years.
