The amount of data we generate and capture compounds daily - especially in this industry. Thanks to improvements in data network coverage from the major carriers, even some of the most remote locations have service now. Laptops, Tablets and IoT devices can now connect and steam this data like never before. The problem this creates is companies typically are forced to rely on multiple providers to get the coverage and rates they need. Simetry solves this issue by being a turn key data provider for operators and enables instant transparency into compounding data usage.

Quite often, the most profitable businesses are not the sexiest ones. Those businesses don't win awards or get front page stories, but they are the ones that are printing cash every year because their tech is essential. The guys at Hulk are one of those companies. They have developed a product that protects ESP cables- saving E&P's thousands of dollars in cable damage, and averting potential downhole issues.

Also, Dwayne educates TLo and the Funkmeister on what life is like as a consultant in Oil & Gas, and a discussion about accents ensues. A great episode with another great personality.
