Which Language Would Best Help With Petroleum Engineering?

Hey guys!

I am going to be a freshman at Stanford University and am planning on majoring in Energy Resources Engineering + staying a fifth year to get my Master’s in Petroleum Engineering. Stanford has a language requirement, so I must choose a language to study for a year. I was considering Russian because I know there is oil there and I am really into their culture, but was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on a language that would much better prepare me for the future. Thanks so much for your help!

Java. Just kidding. I say pick a language you’d enjoy learning. In the professional world English is usually recognized.

Farsi might be useful.
