Houston memorial services for Michael Economides, adjunct professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and world renowned energy expert, have been scheduled for next week.
Economides died on Nov. 30 while on a flight to Chile. A leading figure in the petroleum engineering field, he combined technical expertise with a deep understanding of geopolitics. He was the author or co-author of 15 books, including the well-known “The Color of Oil,” and performed technical or managerial work in more than 70 countries.
