He attended Stanford University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering in 1969.
While at Stanford, he studied abroad at Imperial College in London and was named Rotary Undergraduate Scholar.
In 1969, he became a graduate student of chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota department of chemical engineering and materials science under doctoral advisor L. E. Scriven.
He left for two years, 1970–1972, to serve in the U.S. Public Health Service.
His thesis was published in 1976 with the title, "Numerical Simulation of Viscous Flow with a Free Surface".
During his time in graduate school, Franklin also prepared journal publications with his advisor, including:
Franklin became an associate professor of petroleum engineering at Stanford University in 1985 followed by promotion to professor in 1987.
In 1991 he became chair of the department of petroleum engineering; in 1994 he was selected as dean of the school of earth sciences.
He was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering in 2000 for contributions to understanding of complex multicomponent flows in porous media and its applications to the design of enhanced oil recovery processes; and for superb academic leadership.
He is married to Susan Packard Orr.
Orr grew up and attended high school in Houston, Texas.
In 2000, Orr was appointed to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering; his election citation stated:
"'For contributions to understanding of complex multicomponent flows in porous media and its applications to the design of enhanced oil recovery processes; and for superb academic leadership.,'"
