The latest Daniel Energy Partners In-Basin Observations podcast features a conversation with Chris Combs, recorded back in February. Chris is the President of Grizzly Manufacturing and a veteran of the oilfield services industry. Chris visited the DEP offices, where we had the 2022 World Series on display, and discussed the evolution of electric fracking.   Grizzly Manufacturing showcased its EnviroFrac unit at their facility during the recent SPE Frac conference in the woodlands and at our THRIVE conference. The conversation centers around the environmental benefits of electric fracking and how the technology has advanced over the years.

In this episode of the podcast, recorded live from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, Mike Dyson and Chris Caudill of Infinity Water Solutions join Bill to discuss their backgrounds and the founding of their company. They also delve into the important role that water management plays in the energy industry, and how Infinity is helping companies optimize their water usage and reduce their environmental footprint.   After the podcast was recorded, Infinity Water Solutions announced a multi-year contract with XTO Energy to manage their produced water in the Delaware basin. This is a significant achievement for the company, and it demonstrates the growing demand for water management solutions in the basin.   As always thanks for listening and feel free to reach out with comments or suggestions.

Bill & John travel to the EnQuest Energy Solutions facility to talk with the President of EnQuest, Jamie Stewart. Jamie is an oilfield veteran with expertise in manufacturing, repair and service of oilfield equipment. The guys had a wide ranging conversation with Jamie and touched on numerous topics in the OFS world from supply chain troubles to the electrification of frac.   Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy this conversation. Feel free to give us feedback on the pod and pass this along to anyone else you think would find it interesting

While in Midland two weeks ago, Bill and John sat down with friend of DEP ProPetro's CEO Sam Sledge. The guys talk about Frac activity, PUMP's recent 3Q earnings, the Silvertip deal, and look into operational activity for the next 3 months and 2023. Activity in the Permian remains robust, notwithstanding several isolated reports of expected Q4 seasonal/year-end effects, the more interesting picture is the strength of the market for next year (which might have the best "visibility" in a very long time).   https://linktr.ee/inbasinobservations Subscribe wherever you like to listen to Podcasts and reach out if you have any feedback for us.
