EP 64: Joshua Johnston from Capsher Technology

AI isn't just a buzzword in oil and gas, it’s changing the game, and we’re breaking it down with someone who’s been in the trenches making it happen. From smarter fracking and streamlined drilling to navigating the chaos of legacy systems, this convo peels back the curtain on what it *really* takes to build tech that actually works in the field. We’re talking massive data, modular design, edge computing, and the art of blending innovation with boots-on-the-ground practicality. If you’re curious how AI is actually showing up in energy (and not just living in PowerPoints), you’ll want to hear this one.
