Episode notes

We’re joined by James Hill, president, and CEO of MCF Energy. He is a lifelong geologist and leader in global energy. For more than 40 years, James has traveled the world in search of energy assets.

Many parts of the world have faced shortages and increased prices in the oil, gas, and electricity markets.

MCF Energy focuses on strengthening Europe’s energy security and provides critical resources for the energy transition. James is leading the company’s exploration and development efforts.

Some of James' partners include Ford Nicholson, the former chair of InterOil, and one of Canada’s most prolific resource financiers, Frank Giustra.

In today’s episode, James takes us back to the early days of his career and what it feels like to drill the winning hole that taps into a fortune of “black gold.”

He also explains how MCF is bridging the gap by providing critical resources during the transition to renewable energy. James dives into the difficulties of drilling a dry hole and breaking the bad news to investors. We also learn about the projects he is the most proud of.

This is an insider’s look at a fascinating career and one that listeners will find value in as we stare down the barrel of a global energy crisis. Today’s episode comes packed with great tidbits of information. Tune in now!
