I'm James Hahn the second.

And I'm Mark LeCorp.

And you're listening to the oil and gas this week podcast brought to you by Bullwork.

This is the show for busy oil pros who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry. Episode number 82. 82 mark, we're going to hit that century mark here

pretty quickly. Yeah, we're coming up on that big one zero zero. Hopefully we have our live

show before then, right? I hope. We keep talking about it, man. Maybe that'll maybe we'll make

the 100th show, the live show.

So this has been an interesting week for you because you've been out there speaking at the

Internet of Things.

I've been following you on Facebook and LinkedIn and all the other places.

You've had some interesting headgear on at times.

You've been around.

So tell us about what's going on with the Internet of Things.

Yeah, so this is a company called the Energy Conference, and they put on a bunch of different energy conferences. And this one is the Internet of Things in oil and gas. And James, it is the coolest thing. I'm going back after we finish recording the show. And there's a bunch of surprises there. So one surprise was I'm sitting down at lunch and this very proper English lady comes and walks up. She goes, I recognize your voice. So I started talking. Her name is Frances Metcalf, and she works for Cambridge Consultants. And she's a fan of the show. She listens to the show, but she heard my voice from across the room and knew that it was me. So that was really cool to have, you know, one of our fans and one of our listeners from across the pond, reach out and, you know, come say hi and we sat and had a nice conversation during lunch. The other thing, James, is all the young, smart people in that room. It is amazing. You know, we're talking big data analytics, Internet of things learning cognitive and um and it's you know i've been talking about this for a long time that this

is coming to our industry well it's here and it's actually you know like i said i'm going back

today but it has just been a blast and yeah i am speaking today on um how to sell to oil and gas

industry unfortunately by the time you hear this, it would be yesterday.

So, you know, great show. It's been a great time. And next year, we have plans for the whole crew to go out there. We're going to do a couple podcasts live from the event. We'll get some major guests on the show. She's just been a good time. Well, speaking to that, James Gordy is out there with the Oil and Gas Young professionalist podcast, yes?

Yeah.

Well, so he's out there, and we haven't quite figured out yet how we record his podcast. Somehow I might help him with that, but yeah, he's out there as well. Yeah, that's wonderful. Doesn't the API Houston Group have something coming up as well? Yeah, we'll talk about when we get to events, but if anybody out there would like to tour

ConocoPhillips, and do you know how impossible it is to get a tour of Conoco

Phillips?
