Energy The Energy Career Cluster prepares individuals for careers in the designing, (ADD) processing, planning, maintaining, generating, transmission, and distribution of traditional and alternative energy. Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Statewide Program of Study The Oil and Gas Exploration and Production program of study focuses on processing, refining, and distributing petroleum and gas. It introduces CTE learners to the process of regulating the flow of oil into pipelines, controlling pumping systems, and operating and maintaining machinery to generate electric power.
