Oil and Gas Startups Podcast

President Lincoln once said, “If I only had an hour to chop down a tree, I would spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my axe” – meaning, preparation is everything. In an industry as complex as oil and gas, you may have to run dozens of models before you can make a decision.The problem is that models have historically taken weeks if not months and we simply might not have the time. So with limited time and data, we make an educated guess. Unfortunately, more times than not, these end up being very expensive guesses.Geonote has set out to solve this problem by enabling you to create engineering and geographic heavy models in a fraction of the time – allowing you to find the best possible path forward.  Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

There are a lot of things we simple humans can’t do as well as computers and algorithms – production optimization is one of those things. Hundreds of variables per well, all changing in real-time. Even optimizing for one well is impossible. Ed Cowsar with OspreyData dropped by walk us through his journey and Osprey’s Production Optimization Platform. –Liquid Frameworks has their annual ConnectFX conference coming up – they are giving all of our listeners $100 off when you use the code EVOLVEORDIE.

Contrary to popular belief, oil & gas can be produced with zero methane emissions. The problem is that most methane detection technologies are intermittent, expensive and only detect the largest of leaks. The guys at Qube Technologies are taking emissions reduction head on through continuous monitoring with their IoT devices. Eric Wen walked us through how incumbent emissions technologies have failed and how building an economically viable solution can bring about big change.

Even though Lindsey Ferrell isn't related to Will Ferrell - she's pretty much just as cool. After cutting her teeth working in accounting for some of the most successful E&P's of their day, she realized her biggest challenge was simply data management. Ever since, she's been a crusade to rid the industry of bad data and WellDrive is furthering that mission in a huge way.

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. The same goes facilities across our industry. Rob Westover from Applied Bolting breaks down the science behind tension, friction and torque and why it matters.Thank you to our sponsor: Datagration.

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 Olifant Energy I and how different it is bootstrapping Olifant Energy II.  Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.
