Raised in northeast Texas, Patton’s interest in the industry was sparked by a family legacy spanning several generations of oil and gas professionals.

Patton expressed a strong commitment to developing engineering solutions that increase efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and prepare the industry for a sustainable future.

“Phoenix Energy’s scholarship is not just an investment in me, but is also an act of faith in the future,” said Patton. “Through their generous support, I will be able to join others at Texas Tech University in obtaining a quality education, mentorship, and experience that will position me to make a real and lasting difference.

“Brody Patton’s story reflects both an appreciation for the oil and gas industry’s roots and a clear vision for its future,” said Adam Ferrari, Founder and CEO of Phoenix Energy. “His work ethic and commitment to responsible innovation are exactly what the Phoenix Energy Scholarship is meant to encourage. We’re proud to stand behind his academic journey, and we look forward to seeing the impact he will make as he helps lead the industry through its next chapter.”

The $15,000 Phoenix Energy Scholarship was created to support students with outstanding academic credentials pursuing careers in the oil and gas sector. By investing in the next generation of energy leaders, Phoenix Energy helps foster the innovation, technical expertise, and leadership necessary for the industry’s long-term success. The scholarship is one of three initiatives under Phoenix Energy’s FUEL (Fostering Unity, Empowering Leadership) Program, which reflects the company’s philanthropic mission to empower future innovators, support education, and promote sustainable growth in American energy production.

Patton plans to use the scholarship to fully immerse himself in Texas Tech’s petroleum engineering program, in which he aims to take advantage of hands-on training opportunities, research projects, and industry networking. His goal is to combine practical field experience with advanced technical knowledge to help the oil and gas industry adapt to evolving global challenges.
