Kodiak Gas Services donates upgraded compressor to School of Energy

Kodiak Gas Services donated an upgraded Ariel compressor unit to the Panola College School of Energy on October 29. The new compressor replaced an older model and will enhance hands-on learning opportunities for students in the College’s energy programs.

“This spring semester, we will use this for a complete teardown and rebuild, giving our students valuable training for our Natural Gas Compression program,” stated Daniel Hall, School of Energy Chair.

The new compressor unit provides students with access to modern, industry-relevant equipment, strengthening the connection between classroom learning and real-world application. This upgrade further supports Panola College’s mission to prepare students for successful careers in the energy industry.

Panola College is grateful to Kodiak Gas Services and all of its industry partners for their dedication to student success and workforce development in our community.
