Oil and Gas Startups Podcast

There are a lot of recruiters in the oil & gas industry, but not many that have built the technical teams of some of the most prominent operators in the industry from the ground up. Micah Renfro joined us this week to talk about how they differentiate themselves, the changing culture in oil & gas and much more.

It’s easy for oil and gas startups and even larger tech companies to focus building products for the super majors and larger players. The reality is, that most E&P’s are the small to mid-sized operators. While they aren’t the largest customers, they can be some of the best. What we loved about this episode was how Digital Oil & Gas Solutions has built their strategy around this segment of the market. They’re working to provide cutting edge technology such as their Scada-lite product to help the smaller players level the playing field with the bigger operators.Thank you to our sponsor: Datagration.

When we started the Oil & Gas Startups Podcast in a closet a few years ago, we made a wish list of people we'd like to get on the show. On the top of that list was the energy trading legend that is John Arnold. What makes this even more special is that John rarely gives interviews or does podcasts. Our goal with this episode was to simply answer the question "Who is John Arnold?". We dove into his rejection from all of his dream Wall Street jobs led him to take a job at Enron that would change his life. How we quickly rose through the ranks to run the largest trading desk in America at the age of 28. Why he started his own firm energy trading firm, Centaurus Advisors, and why he ultimately hung it up as a trader to focus all of his energy on philanthropy. Thank you to our sponsor: Datagration.
