Corporate Finance in Oil & Gas (Houston/New Orleans)

I'm not that interested in investment banking, trading, etc. What I'm interested in is corporate finance in the energy industry. I am from Houston, I grew up with 80% of family friends working in the energy industry, this is what I want to do. I got a B.S. in Finance from a large public school in the south, and will be completing a unique masters program focused in energy finance at Tulane. How hard will it be to break into one of these O&G companies in Houston as a financial analyst in some sort of financial leadership development program? Any advice and insight is appreciated.

 

It seems like a lot of companies only require undergrad degrees, so my thought process is along the lines that a specialized master's degree in the business of energy will set me apart, because god knows my work experience does not.
