Click here to ask. Support the Show: Reviews Informative but one-sided ☆ ☆ “Been listening to this podcast for 4 years now. It’s really the only podcast like it, truly unique. The hosts do a good job of explaining a complex industry and sharing relevant news in a concise and easy to digest way. It’s a great way to hear about updates in the industry and trends. However, the show is clearly deep into oil and gas pockets and very one-sided about any discussion of the environment (I feel like I’m listening to dinosaurs talk). A note to the hosts, you can point out flaws in environmental policies and concerns without making a mockery of it. I’ve seen some of Mark LaCour’s LinkedIn comments and he’s definitely a Trump supporter. This may not bother the demographic that listens to this podcast, but personally I don’t put financial gain above people’s basic human rights.” lewis_f1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/20 The Weekly Rig Count by Baker Hughes https://rigcount.bakerhughes.com/rig-count-overview  Area Count Down U.S. 312 +12 Canada 89 +3 International 656 -46 IBM Giveaway Enter to Win Here!

Keep up the great work! Two critiques: 1. It seems as if every time there is a discussion of policy proposals or initiatives (here or abroad) that aim to address the environmental impact of the oil and gas industry it is referred to as being “political.” While surely some who propose such policies have political motives, the same could also be said for those arguing from the opposite side of the issue. Whether you agree with environmental friendly policies or not, there are those (even in the industry) who believe that the economic benefits of the oil and gas industry should be balanced with preserving clean water, air, etc. You have spoken on occasion about the positive steps the industry has taken to protect the environment—and those steps are commendable—but that is a more recent phenomenon relative to the industry’s history. By dismissing any environmentally friendly initiative as purely political contributes to an all or nothing perspective that eliminates any discussion of balancing environmental and economic policy. 2. Pronouncing Biden (By-den) as Bidd-in. 8 years as the Vice President and the last year as a Presidential candidate and you don’t know how to pronounce his name? Really?!

I am a non-traditional student who is coming into the industry and I volunteer to be on the show. I signed  up for the Street Team and I look forward to getting more involved. I have an international background and I love hearing your perspective on the way they do Energy in other countries. I have lived on 4 continents and I have seen energy done in several different ways. Thank you for all that you do and sharing your knowledge.

If you want to get a question answered for next month’s FFQA, click the link below. Enjoy! Have a question? Click here to ask Show Notes & Links:   Question's: Hi Guys, I find my self coming up to a cross road and would much appreciate some advice. I'm currently at a high end engineering school on my way to a degree in PE. I now have a chance to switch my major and move from the petroleum engineering focus to something else. I really love the oil/gas/energy field, but at the same time I'm a bit freaked out about all the change away from oil. Seeing the Saudis diversifying away from oil, several car makers betting exclusively on electric mobility, big oil stocks in a slump, lay-offs,etc, etc makes me wonder, if I should make a move now and change to another engineering major. At the same time I hear about oil and gas needing good people and expecting a demographic shortage of engineers in the near future. Not sure what to do... Curious what you think and grateful for a bit of advice. Our country is set to pump oil from Exxon's offshore Liza field development early next year (there is talk that it could happen in December this year pending weather). 2020 is also the year our country heads into election and oil is a hot topic.  My questions are:  * Is political uncertainty likely to affect the production of oil? * What should a first time producer country expect? Long term predictions are that output would reach 750,000 barrels in 5 years, revenue to reach $631M by 2024 but what does the first year or two of production entail? 3.  Keep up the good work! Hello, first of all, congratulations for all the great job that you have done. These are my two questions. * USA has the best price on Natural Gas, what are some of the real threats that could push the price up? Would you make a prediction on when could this price rise? * You used to say that Oil companies were very clear when anyone would call them "Energy Companies", would you say that this is still the reality in all the companies or are there all open, as TOTAL for example, to accept being call as energy companies? Just got around to listening to the podcast from the 28th, and wanted to share thoughts on the discussion you and have had about troops in Saudi Arabia. I have had a few of my military clients sent to Kuwait and Iraq, but also sent to support bases in Germany and Western Europe. I believe it has to do with the Saudi Aramco IPO. U.S. and Saudi relations have always been tricky since FDR, and believe their is still an unspoken bond. With such a strong reliance on oil for the nation, any attack against it once it is public would be a huge setback to the country from an economic and civil standpoint. While private they are able to protect specific information, however as you know, once public there are other factors, stock price primarily, which can be a shock factor for the underlying partners or company.  I could go more into detail, but believe this is the main reasoning behind the recent increase in troops.  Hello Mark,     Hope all is well and congrats on the success of all the podcasts. I listened to the conference call from Chesapeake 3 times since yesterday and it was unlike the past 12 ...

  Welcome back to another episode! This week’s episode is our First Friday Q&A for September. You ask the questions and we answer them. Big thanks to everyone who wrote in. If you want to get a question answered for next month’s FFQA, click the link below. Enjoy! Have a question? Click here to ask Show Notes & Links:   Question's:  Hi guys, Love the show, this is the first show I started listening to when I was introducted to podcasts two years ago and I have been hooked ever since.  My question is that I recently heard an interview with the Author of the book "Saudi America" that talks about the faults of the energy industry and fracking. Have you read this book or have any thoughts on this? The link to the book here. Hey Guys thanks for taking the time out of your busy lives to inform and educate the masses I have a few questions I'll like your opinion on.  1 With LNG fast becoming the fuel of the future because its abundant, cheap, has a high combustion efficiency and clean, more operators are starting to require contractors and service companies like Halliburton, schlumberger, and liberty that offer energy intensive operations such as fracking to offer fleets that run on natural gas. There is a startup out of Boston(MIT) making predictions to deliver technology that powers commercial aircraft with LNG by 2032. Is this feasible with the FAA grounding aircraft for simple battery issues? Also ,NY politicians have refused to issue permits to a critical pipeline schedule to bring natural gas to New York city on grounds of environmental concerns. With winter fast approaching, National grid the gas company is denying thousands of New Yorkers and businesses gas until the the pipeline is given the green light. thoughts? Do you know of any states that have combined oil & gas rules for OSHA? If so, can you give me any contact names, emails, phone#, etc.? Thank you.  So on your Oct 7 show you discussed diversity and specifically women in the oilfield.  One reason I love your show is that it's always a conversation even when readers send in viewpoints that diverge. So I'd like to give you my perspective. I'm a 2nd generation oil and gas engineer working in Texas with a petroleum engineering degree and almost 3 years of work (specifically field work experience).   My overall opinion of women in the petroleum industry is that efforts (and it is a true sustained effort) to hire them are "HR deep" and often a basically shallow attempt by a company to improve their public image by having a cute engineer in coveralls on their PR material. I work extremely hard, climb under equipment and get covered with grease. I've done well working in the field and running a field crew, mostly because they see I'm not afraid of jumping in and getting dirty even though I'm the engineer. I have to work hard and run jobs successfully - my husband died in Afghanistan and I have a disabled brother to support.    I've been treated pretty well overall in the field (by field personnel) but who I feel I've been truly been mistreated and at times abused by is management. I've been terminated for refusing to date a former manager. At another place I was often singled out for abuse and was often saved by other field engineers and crews vouching for me.

I just wanted to say thank you for putting me in contact with Brady Reece. I just finished going through the interview process and am going to intern at their firm next summer. I also can't tell you how helpful the show has been in learning about the industry, I look forward to it each week. Thank you again for taking the time to help out, I really appreciate it.  New listener, and this is what I’ve been looking for! Great insight and great wisdom! I’m a recent petroleum engineering grad from Penn State, and I wanted to know if you guys could give me some insight on what to expect in the job market. I Minored in Energy Business and Finance and I find myself drawn between being in the business side of oil and gas vs the engineering side! Could you guys give me some advise on how to go forward? I'm not quite the most traditional listener of your podcast, but I've been listening for roughly the past 8-10 months now and have really enjoyed your content. I am a law student that is entering his third, and final, year of law school. I'm wanting to end up working within the energy field, and I have focused my studies accordingly and will be graduating with a specialization in Energy and Sustainable Development. This past summer I interned within the legal department of Cabot Oil and Gas. I'm having trouble finding opportunities to apply for legal jobs though, and would like any advice you guys could give me. Thanks for your time.   Big fan of the podcast. I've only been listening for 1 week but I've already gone through and listened to all First Friday Q&As available on my podcast app. I work in the UK for a bank within their commodities trade support team specialising in physical and financial crude and products. My career goal is working in the U.S./Canada as an oil scheduler/logistician (preference towards ocean and rail). Having spoken with the traders in my company they advised the best way is to try and transfer to a junior front office position and eventually get to a bank-version of a scheduler role. My question is what are some good midstream resources which will help me develop the skills/knowledge for a scheduler/logistician role? Also if you have any advise for moving from a banking support role to Midstream that's be great too. First of all, great work on the podcast, I’m a regular weekly listener who has been working in upstream for the last couple of years. I listened to last week’s podcast and felt your response to the Engeineer who felt the industry isn’t diverse was not reflective of the reality in the field as many of us see, and there are deeper issues that will keep it that way. I realize that West Texas has a more diverse workforce than most of the rest of the country. I am on my third rig contract in the last few years. On every rig, I have heard constant racist commentary and open racial epithets from nearly a third of the workforce, many directed right at our non-white coworkers. This extends up through company men from majors, and the individuals who have 20+ years of experience and the most authority are more likely than not the worst offenders. I’ve worked for large and small companies over the last few decades and in my last role managed 8 states for a Fortun...

Hi,   I really appreciate the work your team puts into this podcast each week. I recently completed my MBA capstone project working as a consultant for a business in the oil & gas industry and I have been listening for a few months to help understand industry trends and to learn the language of the industry a little better. It has been very helpful.   In doing some research about the industry, one of the topics of conversation that I found interesting was around projections for oil & gas demand. McKinsey makes some projections around oil & gas demand saying that they will each reach peak demand around 2035 and then begin to be displaced by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. I have heard both opinions where some think electric vehicles will be adopted quicker and we will see peak demand in 2025 and others think it will be much longer before we hit peak demand.   I was curious to hear your opinions on these projections.   See reference:  www.mckinsey.com In show 176 you spoke about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Also mentioned was the emissions from these vehicles is water vapor. Knowing that greenhouse gasses are 95ish% water vapor, could one argue that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles could potentially harm the environment? At the least should we study this before society jumps on this bandwagon? Have you heard of the Pilot Thomas project SafeArm? If so how do you think this will grow in the oil and gas market? I also think this would be a interesting topic on an episode of the podcast Not really a question, was listening to the podcast today and y’all mentioned that there are no schools that offer subsea engineering degrees. Well I’m actually a Master’s student at Texas A&M in our new Subsea Engineering program and just wanted to correct the comments about the lack of subsea engineering degrees!

If you want to get a question answered for next month’s FFQA, click the link below. Enjoy! Have a question? Click here to ask Show Notes & Links:     Questions: I am in a good and not so good predicament. I’ve spent the last 4 years working with a geophysical consulting company primarily for small independent E&P companies. When the owner of that company retired, I had to choose: go off on my own or join another company. I joined a company. And to be honest, it is a great job, great company to be working for. But the thoughts linger about the ‘what if’s’ of going on my own and the skills and technological capabilities I can lend to other E&P’s. I know what I am good at and what I can bring to the table, and I never stop trying to learn new things to add to the value of my work. So my question is, two parts I suppose: What suggestions do you have as I battle the security of a job that most people would jump for, with the urge to pursue my own venture and the uncertainties of being accepted by companies? To that end, I chose to take this job because I am young (28) and I was unsure about my ability to properly “sell myself” (proclaimed introvert for sure). Now while I still don’t feel good about it, I firmly believe in my competencies as a geophysicist and the value I can add to companies. Thanks guys, love the show, love the content, keep it up! Hi, I’m a new listener to your podcast as I’m trying to get a job as an account servicer in an energy corporation. I apologize if this has been asked but I’m just starting to make my way through your archives. As a recent college grad in a non-STEM field, I was wondering what is the best way to learn about the field or the best way to supplement my resume to put me in a position to have a great application to get a job in the energy field? Thank you in advance! In the June 17th, 2019 episode, one of you mentioned the atmospheric CO2 averages ~2000 and has reached as high as 7000, which today sitting around 400ppm. Can you please cite your source. I cannot find the same evidence.  I liked your podcast until recently, but you are now starting to move from fact based discussions into politics. Making the statement on your recent podcast that the CO2 PPM is high but only represents a 1/6 of a second of game of thrones is misleading. The current levels are the highest since 800,000 years. Yes maybe the CO2 levels were higher 4 billion years ago but there was no life on Earth. Do you subscribe to “I don’t care I will be dead” or should we at least report the facts and do something. Just in case there are consequences for our children.

Click here to ask Show Notes & Links:     Questions: My name is Jake and I’m a finance student at BYU. I recently started to listen to your podcast and have found it extremely helpful, especially as someone who is just getting into the oil and gas industry.   I’m a sophomore at my school and am going to recruit for oil and gas investment banking in Houston in just a few months. I’m reaching out to see if you have any suggestions as to firms that are still hiring interns in the Houston area. I’d be more than happy to send you my resume or talk if you have a few minutes.   Hello Jake and Mark,  I am currently a hydraulic fracturing field engineer working for an oil services company in Wyoming. I have a BS in Petroleum Engineering and my ultimate goal is to start my own company as an oil and gas operator. I feel that learning the business from an E&P standpoint is a vital step towards my goal, moreover I would also like to get out of the field and work a more traditional schedule. My wife and I would like to move to Houston, and for some time I have been applying to many operator jobs in that area with no success. It seems that most companies do not want to hire me for positions requiring no experience, however they do not want hire me for experienced positions as they do not view my experience as relevant to an E&P. Any advice you have on how to move from services to operator side would be much appreciated.    Love the show; you guys keep me entertained during many long drives to location.  Greetings Mark and Jake,  I started listening to your podcast last week because I am seeking a career change into the oil and gas and want to learn as much as I can about the industry. I heard you request write in questions so here’s mine: What advice can you give me in regards to finding a sales position if I have no prior experience in the industry?  I am 40 years old, smart, diligent, & charismatic. I have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. For the past 10 years I have been employed at a single research firm in the Denver area. The closest I have come to oil and gas is working on refrigerator sized petrol-processing rigs testing new catalysts and the like. I have hit a career ceiling with my current employer. Regardless of how much overtime I work and how much I commit to my position I am unable to increase my salary substantially. I even drive for Uber on the weekend and rent a room in my house for additional income. I’m no slouch when it comes to work ethic. However I am now convinced my career is a dead end and I want to pursue a sales position where the harder I work the more money I make. I am absolutely impressed with the culture of those I have met employed on the business side of the oil and gas industry. Everyone seems to work very hard and thus provide for their families. After 10 years in my current field working lonely long hours in a lab I am galvanized to pursue a career where I can be of service to others applying my interpersonal and technical skills to build relationships and solve problems under pressure.    Ideally I envision working from my home city of Denver and traveling within a surroundin...

Love the show and am beyond grateful for the information and insights you provide as I’m new to the industry. I’ll leave a rave review on the podcast but first wanted to ask if you have any plans to come out to the Bay Area this year for a happy hour. Please let me know if so, and how I could help coordinate.  I know someone in charge of P&A of a very small asset group in the Asia Pacific. He has over 900 wells that need P&A but it always gets pushed back to due industry climate.  Worldwide, the amount of wells that need P&A would be astronomical & I assume they have the same problem regarding being pushed back.   My question is eventually could this part of the industry be due for a huge boom for jobs?   And a secondary question is that shale wells have majority of their production in their first 2 years. So how many years on average until a. shale well is not economical and needs abandoning? The amount of wells in the permian alone that would need abandoning at some point is huge.  I recently had an opportunity to attend a flaring workshop hosted by Shell going into issues facing the industry. Shell claims they reduced 80% of flaring and are pushing other industry leaders to pursue that route. Where do you see flaring going into the future?  You mention various attempts that activists use to indirectly halt the oil industry – from blocking pipelines to regulating water use to probably many other things. Is there an identifiable playbook that activists are running with that people outside the industry don’t understand?  How much have these types of rules actually cut down on potential production/investment to date? It seems to me that CA will keep being CA and anti-oil & gas while Texas will keep being Texas and pro-development.. Where do you see the political risks coming from? Is it more that there is a risk that some harsh regulations could be applied at the federal level?  Given my petroleum engineering degree/background, what advice would you give to me in my search to find a solid engineering position for an E&P?

Love the show and am beyond grateful for the information and insights you provide as I’m new to the industry. I’ll leave a rave review on the podcast but first wanted to ask if you have any plans to come out to the Bay Area this year for a happy hour. Please let me know if so, and how I could help coordinate.  You mentioned hoping Guyana’s government would manage their recent find responsibly. Can you share some examples for a template of a government doing a good job of managing oil or other resources (especially with regard to the corruption aspect and how any success stories avoided it)? Also, have you read The Prize yet? Hi Guys – We heard yall mention something about water recyle/treatment during your show with Kurt and would like to know whats going on from a treatment side. If you’d like to collaborate and do a show or two that discusses the basics of water treatment and or some Q&A from the listeners we’d love to see what that looks like. I’m a student looking for some advice on the field of petroleum engineering and would appreciate to hear what you think about the future of this field. I have planned for some time and am fascinated by the technical side of petroleum engineering, I’m interested in the geology and exploration aspects of it and would eventually like to work as a reservoir engineer or in a similar capacity. I have been fortunate being accepted to several highly regarded colleges offering petroleum engineering curricula and I have to make my choice soon. My concern is the outlook for and the future of my professional career choice, as well as the industry.  Many of my family, friends and other contacts question my preference saying that the world is turning away from oil and that my career opportunities would be limited by my narrow focus on this field. What would a petroleum engineer be able to effectively do, if industry trends made it necessary to pivot and apply his expertise to another field? Any advice and insight you might have for me and that could shed some light on whether or not its a good idea to enter into the field of petroleum engineering, would be very much appreciated.  Hey guys, First time listener, but definitely will continue to follow. Two questions for you guys… 1) We are long past the days of peak oil (supply), but what are your thoughts on peak demand? 2) What’s your opinion on the shipping container(s) vs O&G export vessel(s) debate currently going on in the Houston Ship Channel? Thank you for your time! Love the show gents, and the Startups show as well! Mark what do you think is the most important things facing our industry looking forward? Jake when VC groups are looking to make an investment in O&G tech, what are the couple of things they often overlook? And explain what you and Collin are trying to do with your digital wildcatters vlog? I like it, just curious what you are trying to accomplish? You have a raving fan base here in Brazil, let us know next time you make it here and would love to connect!

If you want to get a question answered for next month’s FFQA, click the link below. Enjoy! Have a question? Click here to ask Show Notes & Links:     Questions: Torchlight Energy was awarded a New Field Discovery designation from the USGS for the Orogrande Basin in West Texas. They have about 150,000 acres out there, and have both oil and gas to the surface. Sounds like they are negotiating with several of the majors, Has there been anything comparable done in recent history? Their geologist is the same geologist that discovered the Wolfbone play, and has described this as a billion barrel find. What could this be compared to, in terms of modern discoveries? I’m from Guyana, South America. We’ve made 10 discoveries in the last three years and we’re ranked among countries with the most discoveries. As a frontier country there is a lot of excitement and a lot of skepticism (especially by the citizens). My questions:  1. what is Guyana’s impact, if any, in the overall industry? 2. what are important considerations for frontier countries heading into production? Guyana is scheduled to begin production in the first quarter of 2020.  Hey guys, love the podcast. I lead our sales force for Emerson in the Permian and moved to Odessa 5 months ago without a ton of Oil and Gas experience. The podcast has been a great way to get up to speed! We are very strong in Upstream Oil & Gas as we provide a ton of measurement devices, control systems, and valves to operators in the Permian. We just opened up a great new Service Center where we are providing training and local inventory for the Oil & Gas industry in the Permian Basin.  I know on a recent show you guys mentioned wanting to host a show on the road, would you be interested in doing the show from our new center? We are having a huge grand opening event on March 1st and will be having a cookout in the afternoon. I know you mentioned working on a Permian perspective podcast, this could be a good way to network with the local Oil & Gas workforce in the Permian! Let me know if there would be interest. Great show! I’ve been listening a couple of years now and am excited every time a show is posted. Just some background… I have 16 years of experience in GIS and data management/research and currently maintain the GIS and data assets for an investment bank here in Houston. I made the move a little over a year ago from a well known operator and have been amazed at the incredible lack of data that various organizations have for land, operations, and marketing that operators have. In fact just before leaving industry, I completed my MBA in which my final project was a change management process to tie land and reservoir engineering into a cohesive dataset that both departments could access and analyze. It’s still hard to believe that with all available technology that data siloing, lack of cross departmental communication, and operators not entirely sure where their leases are located is still such an issue. Do you all see an end to this in the future? Thanks guys and keep up the great work. I wanted to get both of your thoughts on the potential for the acquisition and development of DUCs in 2019. DUC totals have been climbing for years, but are at a point where folks in the industry can identify and analyze trends.

  Welcome back to another episode! This week’s episode is our First Friday Q&A for May. You ask the questions and we answer them. Big thanks to everyone who wrote in. If you want to get a question answered for next month’s FFQA, click the link below. Enjoy! Have a question? Click here to ask.   Show Notes & Links: RSVP for the May Happy Hour  Questions: Good day! I have just discovered your podcast and was really impressed with the amount of valuable information you have provided in regards to the listeners’ inquiries. So I thought I would do the same and ask a few questions that pertain to the bidding phases before the project. I have searched high and low for detailed information (public information) and I keep hitting a wall with bid solicitation software or memberships.   * Are there any “public” bidding informational sources that pertain to oil and gas projects? * What are the process of bidding on projects? * Once there is a bid winner, what are some of the ways of announcing to contractors the opportunity for proposals?   Thank you for your time and keep up the great work! O&G Weekly Podcast team, I have two questions regarding significantly different topics:   * With proposed steel tariffs poised to impact the bottom line of upstream and midstream, are there high-grade plastics, Kevlar’s, or alternative materials that can be utilized for pipeline, facilities, or downhole tubing that are safe and cost effective? * With increased scrutiny of flaring secondary gas in the Permian, how do you see companies in The Basin evolving to deal with the higher than expected gas cuts from “Oil” wells? Natural gas EOR (like EOG in the Eagle Ford), virtual pipeline or pipeline infrastructure, electric generation, natural gas to liquids facilities, etc.? Keep up the exploration and transmission of technology and business information for all the knowledge hungry consumers out here. Southwestern Energy announced the potential sell of their Fayetteville Shale assets early this year. With declining natural gas prices who would be interested in the Fayetteville Shale? What’s the future hold for the Fayetteville and other dry gas plays?  Do y’all have any concrete examples/case studies of a turnaround in safety performance and culture by changing management in the safety department?  I am a petroleum engineering major at A&M and will be having my second internship this Summer in New Mexico focusing on the Delaware Basin. For all of the young’n’s listening as well, would y’all mind offering some advice to have a successful internship and land a return offer? Thank you! I really enjoy listening to your podcasts! I’m a first-time listener to your recent podcast where you do a Q&A session. I loved it and would like to seek advice from two veterans of podcasts on how to go about starting my own podcast. I’m passionate about the environment (in particular, water resources) and would like to start a podcast on this industry with influences from engineering (my degree is in water and environmental engineering). How do I go about setting this up, please? First off, great show. Started listening over a year ago while still at Montana Tech. It made it easier being connected to the industry while in such a non-industry area. Butte, great for outdoors and scenery, horrible for hands on oil and gas. Now, living in Houston, I have a new perspective of your show, what with being in the heart of it all.

  Welcome back to another episode! This week’s episode is our First Friday Q&A for March. You ask the questions and we answer them. Big thanks to everyone who wrote in. If you want to get a question answered for next month’s FFQA, click the link below. Enjoy! Have a question? Click here to ask.   Show Notes & Links: Questions:   What is your take on the recent success of the Utah lease sale? Are the operators entering this field taking a gamble in hopes of hitting large undiscovered reserves, or is this a legitimate play in a field that was previously inaccessible? Thanks for hosting such a great show and helping young geologists such as myself Lear about other aspects of the industry I have not been exposed to yet! My question is; with China constructing these artificial islands in the South China Sea and attempting to take control of more maritime land, do you think this is partly motivated by prospective oil and gas prospects in the South China Sea and how do you think this will affect exploration efforts in the area?  What do you think the next year holds for the SCOOP? Continental and Gulfport are both down there, but I haven’t seen production data from very many wells. A couple years ago it seemed like the SCOOP and STACK plays were the up and coming darlings of US land, Density looks to have increased in the STACK but the SCOOP has been mostly quiet as far as I can tell.  I am a chemical engineer working for an independent refiner and am concerned with how the public perception of the energy industry may affect the long-term viability of refining in the United States. Recent examples include: * Valero barred from buying California terminals for 10 years * Tesoro denied Vancouver Energy Terminal * Washington State denying Shell crude by rail project * Significant opposition to Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery marine terminal proposal (more crude by ship) It seems like a lot of opposition to anything oil stems from an overly simplistic view that all things oil & gas are bad and should be opposed. I used to be part of the problem. When I was a freshman in college, I told a friend that I could never work for an oil company as it would be immoral. I thought this way until we visited a refinery as part of a class trip and realized how ignorant I was. How can we, as an industry and individuals, help steer the conversation and restore the image of the industry so the public at large better understands how much of a net benefit oil & gas is to society? Furthermore, what should our industry be focusing on to enhance our environmental performance and display our stewardship for the environment?. Finally, there seems to be pressure on large investment funds to divest from oil & gas. Is there any information that an independent refiner (or upstream company) should be providing to the investment community so they better understand environmental performance? Should there be a standard environmental metric like we have for personal and process safety (e.g., OSHA recordable incident rate, API tier 1/2)? I really love the podcast, thanks for this show and all of the others under OGGN. 2 questions: Are you bringing back the Oil and Gas Careers show..? If so when? Do you have any tips or techniques for interviewing in Oil and Gas, specifically the service companies? Can you and Jake each answer this please? I always like comparing how you two come at things in different ways. Keep you the great work!

Click here to ask.   Show Notes & Links: OGGN Happy Hour RSVP  Questions: Guys, great show as always long time lister and I have three questions for you. When you look at the geological map of the US, there are five major basins. As a native of Illinois, The Illinois basin or New Albany shale at one point was the second producing field in the 80’s. So any reasons there’s little to no activity in this field with the latest horizontal extraction methods and price of crude going back up? Can the state of Illinois generate revenue by attracting producers with incentives like taxes because they sure aren’t getting out of debt selling cheap bonds. Good day Mark and Jacob, My name is Roman Demchenko. First of all, I would like to say thank you for all the work you are doing on the podcast. I am a long time listener of yours and it is my favourite Oil & Gas related podcast (by far). I have discovered you by iTunes for about a year ago and have been listening since then. I am currently working for the developing company called PetroHub based in Stavanger, Norway. Our company is a new generation B2B digital platform dedicated to buyers and suppliers in the global energy industry. Our primary goal is to digitalize quite conservative and slow oil & gas industry on procurement and marketing sides. We do it by means of online platform that puts industry suppliers in one place and provides them with multiple channels to represent their abilities and showcase their products and services to the industry buyers. We also provide possibility for buyers to submit Request for Quote (RFQ). RFQs are visible to all suppliers, and registered suppliers can bid on relevant to them RFQs. (You can visit www.petrohub.com for more info if needed). We are currently working on several additional solutions including PetroHub mobile app. Our target right now is Norwegian, UK and European market primarily. Our main push right now is to expand our online presence and attract more traffic to the platform making it into a big O&G hub as we intended it to be. I believe that your podcast is mainly catered towards to US market and the majority of your listeners are based in US. I think that a lot of information that you provide is very relevant to O&G industry in Europe. As we are mainly catering European market, we are wondering if you would be interested in a partnership of any sort? We could, as you say in the end of every podcast, “pay it forward” and start sharing your podcasts on our platform and help you increase your presence towards European listeners if you would be interested. Hope to hear from you soon. Mark, I am new to the industry and I am trying to find my niche and how to be the guy companies go to when needing pipe,valves and fittings… I have done most of my networking through LinkedIn, which has been pretty effective. Do you have any suggestions on how to reach more people and make a strong connection? Your 2018 predictions #1 cited a 1,700% increase in online supply chain searches. What is the source of that statistic?  A good friend sent me your podcast and it is great. Mark how do you suggest I proceed to find a job in O&G near San Antonio? Is there a way to contact recruiters that can assess the best fit? I’m going to listen to those old podcasts you did early on...

I really enjoy it because in my current position I am very isolated from technical staff since I am currently working as a chemical account Manager in the field. On to my question. Do you think a production company could be run using the ROWE principals and a big portion of the technical staff working remotely? I think this could be a great way to attract older professionals that want to work from their retirement home and younger generation that wants to work, but still be able to travel. Thanks for your advice.  Hey Mark and Jake, love the show and have been a listener all through school. I have now graduated and am working as a Landman apprentice. Here is my question, there has to be a better way to assemble Abstracts. It takes tons of time, and I just feel as things are picking up on land there has to be a better way. Keep rockin the mics gents! Hello. I am a huge fan of the show! I am actually not in the oil and gas industry but I was wondering how you think the recent shale gas and oil boom in Ohio from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations will impact the state over the next 20-30 years? Can Ohio become the “Texas of the 21st Century”? Do you have any data on how much shale gas is actually in Ohio and how many years of consumption are still in the ground? I’ve read some conflicting data online so I wasn’t sure if you have some definitive answers on that. Finally, in terms of baseball, what inning is the shale gas revolution in the U.S. and Ohio currently in at the moment? Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the great work! When do you expect the CDL driver demand to increase in Eagle Ford area like the Permian area?  There is a new trend of local Permian frac sand mining that is growing out her in the Permian. From what I have been told the locally mined sand is 60% cheaper in than the imported sand that is tradiationaly be used. How do y’all think these companies will do in the market and how will these companies with the massive discount economically effect the profitablty of oil and gas in the coming month/quarter/year and so on? The largest company is called Hi-Crush partners LPP.  Hey mark, I continue to love your show and appreciate your responsiveness to listener comments and questions. I’ve been hearing about how one piece of why crude has rallied into the $60’s of late is related to the gravity of crude oil that we are producing in the US right now, specifically that we are producing extremely light crude that isn’t a good fit for our (or anybody’s) refineries. Can you help me understand the mechanics here? Specifically: what happens if you try and refine crude with gravity 45+ as if it were gravity of 30? Can you just blend  1 barrel of gravity 45 with 1 barrel of gravity 25 (if that’s available) and get a refineable product? And if this issue is contributing to some kind of scarcity (lots of consecutive drawdowns at Cushing), where is all this ultra light oil going?

Dudes, love the show! Now that it looks like the price of crude has stabilized and started creeping back up, companies are starting to hire again. My question is this, what do we need to do to attract more young people to our industry? Keep up the great work!  Welcome back to another episode!

I have found it very helpful in learning and keeping up to date with the market. My question relates to your views on technology within the industry. How do you see blockchain technology penetrating the oil and gas industry? (If at all). Where would it be most advantageous? I am an engineer with 12 years experience in engineering and project management; over 10 of which is in offshore oil and gas focused on subsea control systems. In 2016, I was working as a consultant/contractor to Tullow Oil and my contract was released. As part of the 100,000+ without work in Houston, I managed to secure work with the US DoD as a civil servant working as a Facility Engineer in Oklahoma City. Knowing I wanted to be in oil and gas, I spoke with one of my most respected mentors (VP for Hess) and some recruiters who recommended I do an MBA. I chose to attend OU for MBA in Energy to broaden my skill set as I have masters and bachelors degrees in engineering already. I am completing the program in March of 2018 and would like to be working back in oil and gas industry. Do you have recommendations for ways to gain exposure to companies or network in Oklahoma City area? I have found it to be a real challenge to find opportunities and get past applicant tracking systems to actually speak to hiring managers. I believe I have a lot to offer companies. Definitely not looking for handouts, but looking for ways to get back to working in an industry I have real passion for. Any feedback and advice you can offer would be helpful.  Why is OPEC HQ in Vienna? Im sure there is good story. Hey guys, I was wondering if you have read “The Prize” by Daniel Yergin or “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels” by Alex Epstein. If so, I was wondering what your takes on them were.   Also, are there any oil and gas related books that you guys would recommend? Dudes, love the show! Now that it looks like the price of crude has stabilized and started creeping back up, companies are starting to hire again. My question is this, what do we need to do to attract more young people to our industry? Keep up the great work!  So I think your show is great, as you both seem to always try and stick to the facts. And even if I don’t always agree with you politically, I do appreciate how you break everything down and make it easy to understand. Here is my question – as the world starts buying and using electric vehicles more and more,

Love the show. I am a chemical engineer and work for one of the independent refiners (think Valero, Phillips 66, Marathon, Andeavor, PBF). I absolutely love my job, my company, and the industry as a whole. However, I am at the start of my career (2014 grad), and worry about the long term outlook for refining in the United States. I have ~35 – 40 more years to work and am worried about building a career in an industry that may be struggling in the next 10/20/30 years. The discussion on oil & gas outlook seems optimistic when looking at natural gas demand and petrochemical feedstocks, but where does refining fit in the future? All of the majors seem to be divesting their refining assets and point to nat gas & LNG as the fuel of the future. Even if there is still strong demand for jet fuel and diesel in the future, ~50% of refinery output is gasoline. If this demand drops substantially, won’t that trigger a significant number of refinery closures? Should I leave refining and try to move to petrochemicals, midstream, or nat gas processing?  Really great show guys! One of my direct reports told me about your show, and I’ve been a listener ever since. Your audio quality has gotten much better and I like Jake much better than the previous co-host. My question is – can we ever expect you to release shows on a regular basis, like every Thursday or something? If not it’s okay. Keep up the awesome work!  What do you two think the next 10 years will bring for the Super Majors? And have you ever thought about doing a “meet-up group”. We have an entire floor that are fans of the show, and it would be fun and valuable to get together every quarter or so and talk about our industry. I’ll buy Mark a bottle of Malbec if you make this happen

What sort of internships are available for people who are just starting, and no degree. In addition, I would like to add that I will most likely be pursuing a degree in technology management or business management.   Hello Guys! I’ve been listening to your great podcast since last year and it is by far my favorite podcast nowadays. Since I started listen the podcast, I believe just once y’all talked about the Brazilian Oil and Gas industry and the opportunities over there. The Brazilian economic team headed by finance minister Henrique Meirelles (former global executive from Bank Boston) is putting the country back on track in the economic area. The current inflation rate for Brazil is 2.54% for 12 months ended September 2017; expected GDP for 2017 is +0.7% and for 2018 is +2.50%, putting an end of almost three years of economic recession; Central Bank is cutting the interest rates to a low value history. Additionally, some laws were changed in order to give more competitiveness to the industry. The Brazilian state-owned Petrobras is not obligated by law to be the operator with a minimum of 30% share in the pre-salt fields and more relaxed rules for the local content policy. I’m giving that economic/regulatory introduction because this Friday Brazil will hold their first pre-salt auctions since 2013. The expectation is that a lot of majors will bid and return their operations back to Brazil. Also, the Brazilian government foresees receive payments in the amount of US$2.9 Billons just as bonuses. (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-oil/brazil-auction-tests-oil-major-appetite-for-deepwater-fields-idUSKBN1CU1FS) Pre-salt fields are highly productive (some wells are producing almost 40,000 barrels per day), with a good oil quality and constantly cuts in the operational costs year in year out. As said, I would like to know from you guys what do you think about pre-salt fields, the future of deep water production, the possibilities from Brazil in this field and so on. Also, You guys are constantly talking about the Saudi Aramco IPO. I’ve read an article in the Financial Times about the possibility that Saudi Aramco will cancel the international listening in favor of a private share sale especially for foreign government’s funds. (https://www.ft.com/content/42b521c0-b028-11e7-beba-5521c713abf4) It would be interest to hear from you what your thoughts about this news are. Howdy,

Based on the first part of your most recent Episode 10/3/17 I wanted to reach out and see if we could communicate and possibly get a dialogue going as we are a fairly new company founded to address the lack of oil & gas industry advancement. www.rarepetro.com  Guys, Love the podcast. One quick question: could y’all up Jake’s volume on the podcast? Mark is loud-and-clear, Jake – not so much. Thanks! I represent the Daniel Morgan Graduate School of National Security in Washington, D.C. The school hosted an event on Sept. 26th called the Forecasting Global Energy Geopolitics and Markets Conference. The conference focused on the global energy situation specific to U.S. and international security and stability, as well as its effect on U.S. and international markets and businesses.   I think that the keynote speaker, Dr. Paul Michael Wihbey, would make a great guest on your show to discuss the findings of the conference, the global energy market situation, and more. Dr. Wihbey is a Partner at CAN-AM Strategic Advisory and Adjunct Professor at the University of Port Harcourt – Nigeria.   I apologize in advance if this is not the proper channel for suggesting guests on your show.   Wanted to express a technical suggestion – I’ve been listening to Oil and Gas this week for a couple years; I am distracted almost weekly by the contrast of audio dynamics as Jake and Mark interact. I don’t know what your studio setup looks like, but Mark sounds like he is right next to the mic, but Jake sounds like he is three feet away from his mic. Jake occasionally does lean into the mic and it is noticible as he comes accross much better. I realize your God-given vocals are unique – yes, Mark you have a booming speaking voice. Just have been bugged to the point of taking a sec to reach out and let you know from a listener perspective, keeping aware of that would be awesome for your show.  Love the show. I have noticed that you and Jake have been incrementally featuring more segments about LNG markets and projects on the show over the last few months. I wanted to see if you could give a quick run down of how LNG marketing works, and if you could highlight some key similarities/differences (in your opinion) between LNG marketing versus natural gas and crude oil marketing. I would also like to ask that my identity remain anonymous if you decide to feature my question on the show. Thanks and keep up the great work.   Jake and Mark,

I work for a division of a primarily midstream company that doesn’t do that very well whether it be due to customer privacy restrictions or to prevent protestors. Is there anything I can do to personally market the niche market my division without getting the company in any kind of trouble with the clients. We are a new division for the company that has only been around for about 3 years. We perform groundwater dewatering and large creek pump arounds.  Hi guys, going into my final year (May 18) and as a prior marine (3 times Iraq, 1 time Afghan vet) where is that Vet focused pod cast. Any info for veterans would be great. Thanks again guys and love the podcast.  First of all, great podcast! Heard about it from a friend and this was the 2nd episode I was able to listen to. Definitely been able to learn a lot as a senior in Undergrad from just a hour of y’all. I heard you guys mention Drilling Info was holding a luncheon in which we could attend to listen to their takeaways about the industry. I was wondering how I could register for that? Thanks for the help fellas and a lot respect to y’all for bringing this industry closer together!  I’m currently working in North Dakota, but I’m looking at an opportunity to do some oil service work in Bakersfield, CA. I love California and have friends that live in the area, but I’m a little worried about the future of oil in California. What are your thoughts and opinions about California’s current and long term situation with the Oil and Gas industry? Also, if I stay in North Dakota there’s a good chance that I’ll have opportunity to work internationally. Any thoughts on sticking with North America vs going international for a while? First off, I would like to say thank you for all of the awesome content you present on the podcast as I am an avid listener and very much appreciate what you guys do. I am a Corrosion Engineering student at the University of Akron and have heard you mention that you speak at universities. I am the founder and chair of UA’s chapter of Material Advantage, which holds our meetings with our NACE Student section and Corrosion Squad, and I am very interested in having you as guest speakers. Please let me know what information you need on my end to go forth with this. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!  First thing is I love the show guys, I never miss an episode! I’m in a sales role and report to a senior account manager. He has been doing this type of work for over 20 years, so I really respect his experience and very large network with the major oil companies.

I keep hearing mixed messages from people I know in the industry that seem to understand what is going on but have totally different perspectives on what the future will look like the remainder of this year and into next year..  With the shortage of talent in oil and gas industry why are companies not streamlining their application process and using new technology . Nobody wants to sit in front of their computer for three hours anwering behavioral questions just to wait another month for a background check Hi guys, Love the show, definitely learned a lot about the industry during my morning commutes to work/school, keep up the great work. I am a Junior Chemical Engineering Student at Texas A&M University. My first question is do you think LinkedIn is a resourceful website when it comes to reaching out to recruiters when it comes to searching for a job/internship? (You can answer this one if the second question is too long) Recently I came up with an idea for a carbon sequestration process. I have my own research group at Texas A&M which will study this process further for potential industrial use. The premise behind it is that we will take CO2 from flue gas and turn it into a material that can be sold after a certain reaction is done. My question to you is this: Is there a market for this idea considering that the final product would be produced in mass quantities and thus decreasing its market value. If things really take off, and yes I know I have a lot of work to do still, is this process really worth it? Is there a market out there? I’m a new listener and really enjoy the podcast. On the episode that kicks off with the EQT/RICE deal you were talking about your doubt that oil & companies will utilize AI by 2020. I’d agree it sounds pretty far fetched, but the contract drillers are already doing some interesting things with cognitive learning. Check out page 27 of Precessions investor deck: http://s2.q4cdn.com/639056707/files/Precision-Drilling-Corporation-July-Presentation.pdf I live in Saskatchewan Canada and I listen to your podast all the time, even won one of the offshore bags (thanks for that, it’s awesome).

Could you please elaborate on this in a little more detail? I am a millennial and I understand social media, but B2B on social media is not quite as straight forward as B2C. For starters, many of my customers are not on social media. And secondly, those that are on social media are on it for personal interests and not for business. I suppose LinkedIn is considered the B2B social media, but it seems like the only people who are active on it are other salesmen. The customers are active on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Is this a fair assessment? And how do I reach them effectively, since they are on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram during personal hours. I’ve searched long and hard but have not found a good resources for helping me do B2B marketing via social media. Any help would be appreciated. After the blockbuster acquisition of Rice Energy, EQT has become the largest natural gas produced in the United States. This was the last in a number of basin consolidation acquisitions by EQT over the past two years, which, including the Rice deal, total more than $10 billion. With oil stagnating at best around $40, do you foresee one of the majors like BP or Shell to swoop in and establish/regain an Appalachian footprint to at least better balance their sheets from a oil/gas perspective? Shell obviously has a vested interest in the region due to their multi-billion dollar cracker facility in Beaver County, PA. It seems like Marks recent comments about climate science struck a nerve with some folks, enough to make them go back and change their rating for the podcast. Why do y’all think climate change has become politicized? In other words, how did this topic go from being a scientific discussion to a political debate and why are people so divided over it? I’m new to your podcast, and I can say with confidence that it’s very well constructed. My question for you is, being fairly new to the oil and gas industry, how would I be able to do my own due diligence to be knowledgeable of the sector and find opportunities for myself. Just some personal info: I am in 2nd year and work part-time. I am a lawyer in Beverly Hills. We have a client who plans to buy gasoil from refineries in India and ship it to other countries. I’m looking for information about two topics: 1. Price Term. Do refineries use fixed prices for 12-month contracts, or spot price, or is that just the subject of negotiation? Also, where would one find reliable the prevailing fixed prices for long-term contracts? I know about Platt’s. 2. Supervision. We want someone to oversee and supervise the process,

My focal project is to look into the Decommissioning business and the current models that exist to for the industry and governments to get what they need. I believe there is a gap (as you’ve pointed out in your shows) in the exploitation of big data analytics particularly when it comes to decommissioning. My question is, how and where do you see the concept of big data analytics playing an major role in engineering decommissioning activities before a project is just about to start? Today I read the article “Here’s how US carbon pollution stacks up with the rest of the world” by John W. Schoen on the CNBC website. Of course there’s much to do about whether or not President Trump stays committed to the Paris accord. I dug a bit further to actually look at the data quoted from the World Bank web page. What was interesting to me was the omission of historical trends in comparing China and the U.S. The article reviews the CO2 emissions of major economies around the globe and points out that China is the largest contributor of CO2 followed by the U.S. On a per capita basis, the author states that the U.S. is the leading emitter in the world (and the chart directly beneath that comment shows that Saudi Arabia is the worst). But we all know that CO2 emissions is not static. It is constantly changing. The World Bank’s website shows the yearly data going back to 1960. As you chart China’s per capita emissions from that time, it has steadily been climbing and during the last decade the chart shows a profound upward surge. On the other hand, the U.S. has actually been declining in per capita CO2 emissions fairly steadily since around 1973. In part I believe, as you have pointed out many times on your show, the efficiencies and newer technologies have been a major contributor to this decline. It’s unfortunate Mr. Schoen omits this rather important data. Jake, I have been working for a big oil company for 11 years and I want to start my own business. I know that I have a marketable service, I have the industry knowledge and connections and know exactly the problem that I would solve (thanks Mark). My question to you is, how do you best go about working at your “day” job while at the same time launching a startup? And tips for advice that you could give would be much appreciated. And LOVE the show guys! Hey guys great show. What are your thoughts on supply chain in oil and gas. Do you think things will be changing because of new technologies and people, or do you think we will continue to run supply chain the way we always have? What do you both think about the changing word of sales in oil and gas?

I am a really big fan of the show and have been listening ever since this past summer when I worked in downtown Houston for for a small oil and gas company as a geologist prospecting plays in the SCOOP and STACK of Oklahoma. I have a passion for the geosciences and the oil and gas industry but I am not sure what type of research or what field I want to specialize in when I get to graduate school. After working in Houston where it seemed like the geologists have focused on petroleum geology, petroleum engineering, and sed/strat. I was wondering which areas within the geoscience’s do not get the attention and dedication of research that is necessary for advancing the oil and gas industry? Dear Jake: Firstly, I enjoy & anticipate listening to your podcast’s weekly. My question is concerning investors/venture capitalist. We are a young construction company with incredible year over year growth even during the recent downturn. We have opportunities for growth in the Permian basin that requires us considering a capital injection if we are to take advantage of opportunity. Banks are risk averse & require excess collateral, factoring working capital companies exclude “progressive” construction companies such as ours. It appears that our last avenue is investors/venture capitalist’s if we are to continue on our current growth curve. Any assistance, advice or information will be greatly appreciated I have a question for Mark. You’ve predicted that unconventionals will go global this year. Outside the US were do you predict the biggest activity will be? Who’s going to be the next biggest producer of oil & gas from tight plays? second question, I’ve heard counter arguments that unconventionals will have difficulty going global do to the lack of infrastructure and services. What are your thoughts on this? Mr. LaCour,  I hope this message finds you well. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I sent you and James Hahn an email about possibly speaking at Pepperdine Law a few months ago. I’m sorry we weren’t able to finance the engagement, it certainly would have been a wonderful opportunity for students interested in O&G.   A few weeks ago, I remember you stating on the podcast something about an O&G company that had set up a program to pay for tu...

I live in Australia, where I worked in Drilling for 4 years ( firstly minerals). I lastly worked as a Roughneck for Saxon before I quit my job. I had a traineeship lined up with Schlumberger. Well,then the downturn started and the traineeship fell through, I worked, studied and traveled elsewhere and now started studying Petroleum Engineering & Geology in Adelaide, Australia. I studied Arabic in a previous University Degree- and yes, you got it -would like to work in the Gulf after I finish my current degree (still a long way to go…) I love listening to your show but I am devastated because in the last 2 weeks I couldn’t download your episodes from i Tunes. They do show up in my list of subscribed podcasts but they don’t download automatically, neither when I try to download them individually. I don’t know whether others have the same issue, as I cannot listen in on you and your reader’s comments. Please help me!!! Also: I can’t find the oil & gas this week group on linkedin….any hints??? And: I would like to subscribe to the Oil & Gas Young Professionals Group but find it very US market focused- makes sense of course- I live in Australia and am interested in the Arab and Central Asian Market- do you know of other groups/ networks which focus more on those regions? Your help on one or all of those matters would be greatly appreciated Thank you and have a good day! Where can I find some comprehensive maps covering pipelines across the country for refined products? I would even be willing to purchase physical paper maps if that is the answer. I recently watched the movie Deep Horizon. I would like to know once the drilling is completed how does the oil get from the wellhead to a ship? 1. What’s your understanding of the state of EU and US sanctions on Russia? It appears that Trump wants to ease or lift sanctions eventually, but is proceeding very cautiously. Several EU countries seem to want to ease sanctions as well. The EU has another layer of issues with several interesting elections in its larger member states and its uncertain future generally. So, what do you think is likely to happen with these western sanctions in the near term? 2. Are there any countries in the world other than the U.S. where individual property owners actually own their mineral rights? Where? 3. Here’s an oil and gas 101 question. Can you talk a bit about how the process of acquiring licenses to look for and extract oil and gas int...

I’m in renewables right now but am closely following the petroleum sector. I’m going to take a guess and say that the rising rig count in the US coupled with OPEC production cuts is going to narrow the delta between OPEC Basket and WTI/Brent crude. With changes like these in the market, do you think it will be profitable for our downstream to start moving it’s focus away from refining heavier (Middle East) oil, and move towards refining more of our own, lighter/domestic crudes. Thank you for an excellent pod cast. You guys do a great job providing a diverse and informed overview of the oil and gas industry. It’s a great way to stay up to speed with moves in the industry. In your podcast #92 around 10 minutes into the show you mentioned a standardization memorandum of understanding that was signed in Q3 between some of the operators. Our team is working on a project with one of the major subsea EPC companies to achieve this standardization. Is there any chance you can help me get my hands on this MoU or point me towards someone who can help me find this? Thanks again and good work gents. It’s always a pleasure to listen to your weekly podcast – consistently good insights and dynamic discussion about the ever changing dynamics of the oil and gas business. I’m a second year master’s student at Columbia University, specializing in the intersection of global macroeconomic trends and oil/gas markets. I, along with a host of other folks in my program, are eyeing oil and gas careers and I thought it would be great to engage you guys and possibly arrange for some kind of meeting to discuss the business in general, as well as possible career paths and strategies for students in my program. Your career insights would be very helpful to us all! I’d be eager to start a dialogue with you guys and perhaps host you for a visit at Columbia University. Look forward to hearing back.

Zachary Fogelson First off, I am a big fan of the show, been listening for about 6 months now and it has been unbelievably helpful for me in my current job as I am new to the industry. Couple of questions for you and James. Considering that bankruptcies do not mean production will stop for E&Ps (see link), do you think that even if a large number of firms go under we won't see crude prices stabilize? How long can firms remain operational after they go into chapter 11? Name: Undisclosed You guys often mention how much people underestimate the influence the oil & gas industry has on our daily lives and think that the only use of the oil & gas industry is fuel for road transport. What percent of the oil & gas being produced today is needed for purposes other than non-road transport fuel? Jeff King VP-Finance at Channel Energy LLC Good show. I really enjoyed it. But I cringe a bit every time you say the the oil and gas industry solved the US acid rain problem. Most of the SO2 and NOx emissions were from coal fired power plants. And government regulation was the catalyst for change. In 1989, the U.S. Congress passed a series of amendments to the Clean Air Act. Title IV of these amendments established the Acid Rain Program, a cap and trade program that required companies to comply with new regulations and reduce emissions. But that's a nit pick I do really enjoy your show and learn a lot from it. Keep up the good work. Name: Undisclosed In my current role I am a software developer. I would like to remain highly technical but also transition to trading and analysis. What companies would you recommend I look into and what skills are most import for me to demonstrate to potential future employers? Chris, BDM with Premier Chemical Mark, I'm a dedicated listener of the show and I truly prescient the time you guys invest into providing valuable content. I wanted to start by offering some clarification on a story you guys covered about Devon energy acquisitions in episode 41. The acquisition was three parts; the first was Devon's purchase of close to $2 billion worth of assets from Felix energy in the stack play, which is in the sooner trend section of the Anadarko basin in Oklahoma not in the Powder River basin as you guys stated. The second part of Devon's acquisition involved 600 million in assets from an undisclosed third-party; that acquisition was is in the Powder River basin, which is in Montana and Wyoming, not Oklahoma. The part of the deal associated with EnLink was for the a...

Operated Agreements Manager Happy December, I wanted to get your thoughts on the 2016 forecast in the Appalachian Basin. There has been fairly significant movement, as far M&A, both upstream and midstream. The word of the day in the region appears to be Utica. A few pioneering operators have had Utica test well success prompting lucrative figures in subsequent deals. What direction and duration do you foresee out of this play? Do you see Utica success drawing in another wave of out-of region operators as the Marcellus did? Csaba Weiner Senior Research Fellow with Institute of World Economics of the Centre for Economic and Regional Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Dear Mr. LaCour, My name is Csaba Weiner, senior research fellow at the Institute of World Economics of the Centre for Economic and Regional Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. I have watched one of your videos on Youtube (Mark's Oil & Gas Overview), and I would like to ask for your help with clarification about the midstream segment. I am wondering whether oil product terminals and oil product pipelines belong to the midstream in addition to crude oil transmission pipelines and crude oil terminals. I would also include them to this segment. However, you have not mentioned the terminalling and storage as parts of the midstream segment. Thank you for your help! Best wishes, Csaba Weiner Cameron Hanover Sales Consultant with ARC Products Inc. Do you see refrac continuing to be a growing part of the industry in 2016? Will chemical or mechanical diverting win?
