Oil And Gas Startups Podcast

Let's be honest - there's nothing sexy about bolting. Sexy or not, you wouldn't want to be on a bridge or a in a skyscraper where the bolts weren't tightened to spec.

On this episode I sit down with Nick Acuna to discuss how he realized networking and making connections was as important, if not more important than school work. We discuss his background and his experiences in networking while in college as well as why he decided to pursue the service side of the industry versus operator side. We discuss how putting himself out there, and getting involved, lead to a job offer from a casual meeting at THRIVE Energy Conference over a Modelo beer. We discuss what our industry can do for the incoming group of O&G professionals and how mentorship matters.

Every week we have oil & gas tech founders on to walk us through their journey and their amazing technologies. Yet, E&P startup guys are still our most downloaded and requested episodes. So if there's any guy in this space you should know, it's Don Burdick. Don came up as a geologist and was a part of a few management teams over the years. He dove into launching PE-backed Oliphant Energy I and how different it is bootstrapping Oliphant Energy II.

Joins me to discuss the “fossil fuels vs renewable debate”. He shares his view of how a satire campaign against North Face after they refused an order for a OFS company, actually hurts our industry more than helps it. We discuss how he’s taken on the role of creating content for our industry as well as other random tangents from whiskey to french romantic poetry.

This week we officially squash the beef with SPE-GCS. The King of Shoutouts - Ni Nunoo - joined us to talk about founding SPE's IES and how that led to him taking over the GCS Chapter. We realized by the 20th shoutout just how many mutual friends we have. We're honestly surprised it took us this long to meet but the wait was well worth it.
