Hey all, I’m prepping for my internship in Houston. My school has no courses with an O&G focus so I’m trying to bone-up on the industry jargon, contract law, O&G accounting and finance, and modeling for asset and corporate acquisitions. Wondering if any of the energy guys have recommendations, or if I’m going in the wrong direction with this?

Hey there,
You're definitely on the right track! Understanding the industry jargon, contract law, O&G accounting and finance, and modeling for asset and corporate acquisitions is crucial for your internship in Houston.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some resources that might help you:

I’m a fellow incoming Stifel intern. I have a couple of O&G equity research reports talking about the industry, feel free to PM if you want me to forward them
I’d love to trade resources, but I think you’re anonymous and thus can’t PM you… could you PM me??
