Tyler joins me again at the DUG conference in Ft. Worth to have a chat with me before he spoke at the event. We covered 2 circumstances that let his company achieve great success during the freeze we experienced in February. We chatted about his new downhole invention that is patent pending, as well as the energy children’s book he is putting together and illustrating himself. Always a pleasure chatting with Tyler!

Ashley Watt’s consultant Bill Burch walks us through an operational update on Chevron’s activities on the Antina Ranch. (This is a follow up to episode 34 where Ashley discussed the numerous well control issues Chevron is having on her ranch). This one gets pretty engineering intense so engineer extraordinaire Chris Bird joins me as co-host. Despite the engineering “porn”, everyone should should listen to this follow up episode as we discuss solutions, ramifications and implications on the ranch and the industry.

Even though Lindsey Ferrell isn't related to Will Ferrell - she's pretty much just as cool. After cutting her teeth working in accounting for some of the most successful E&P's of their day, she realized her biggest challenge was simply data management. Ever since, she's been a crusade to rid the industry of bad data and WellDrive is furthering that mission in a huge way.

He's waging an online war against "LinkedIn influencers", managing the operations of Nabors Industries and have you seen the juicy set of lips on this guy? We have some great laughs on this episode, but he also drops some straight GEMS of wisdom. The post Roby Jacob on Oil Money first appeared on Digital Wildcatters.

Justin Gauthier joins us at the DW studio. We sit down and talk about it being ok not to feel strongly about a subject, as well as not staying in your own “camp” just for comfort. We discuss the benefits of a higher education and how networking with individuals from other industries (especially the renewable industry) has been a HUGE benefit for him during his higher education journey. We chat about being informed, and having conversations that allow a more healthy and beneficial energy discussion versus the “fossil fuels vs renewable” debate. We end it by discussing the amazing things his wife is doing with her company “Wicked Holdings” and how it provides a safe living environment for families who may need it.

On this Energy Crue home sessions, Ryan Keys joins me again over a glass of Texas bourbon to chat about what’s on our minds. We chat about how when he travels, he puts himself into uncomfortable situations as they make the best adventures and stories. We then get into ESG and how shifting your mindset to view it as a profit driven decision can generate revenue for O&G companies. We then discuss everything from the future of investments in our industry, to setting your daily intentions and shifting your mindset throughout the day. Always great catching up with Ryan.

Podcasters. Fieldhands. Crossfitters. IPA Drinkers. Football players. Some of these apply to Justin Gauthier...but not necessarily the ones you might think. The Bearded Beast from Canada takes us from his path from the gridiron, to the oilfield, to the energy capital of the world, to, of course, the podcast studio. Come on in to hear three dudes who never intended to have a podcast talk about having a podcast, the OGGN vs DW "rivalry" and so much more in this super fun hourlong ep. Spoiler: Despite looking like every guy you see at your local brewery, Justin doesn't drink beer.

After various jobs throughout the states, he found himself at NOV in Conroe, Texas. We discuss his role there, as well as what motivated him to pursue a higher education. We discuss his current role and how he loves identifying problems and challenges, creating solutions for those issues, and providing support for O&G companies throughout the states. Him and his “A-team” all have O&G backgrounds which allow them to be as effective as possible, while not taking any credit for the value they bring.

Second time on the show. Pioneering Energy Intelligence. Do you sell your data as a subscription? That's typically how I prefer to sell it. Also only sell it to people who have money. This episode was a long overdue followup with the Hugh Jackman of the Oilfied.

Elizabeth DeStephens is Amazing ... For the uber talented Elizabeth DeStephens, life is about learning, helping people, and contributing to society. One might even call her the Mother Teresa of the oil & gas industry. I did once. We learn about going from Ohio to Florida to Houston to California (CRC)...From Upstream A & D to Tech Startups and Nonprofits, Elizabeth's versatility and overall approach makes her one of a kind. Super fun episode featuring Dr. Funk live from the Brown Palace, some technical mishaps, and even some off key singing. Enjoy!

We discussed what passion projects he’d love to get into if O&G wasn’t around, as well as many other topics: house hunting, trucks, woodworking, bourbon, being around good people, and much more.
