I'm Jake Corley, and I'm Mark LaGour.

You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast brought to you by Redway.

This is the show for busy old professionals

who want to quickly get their fingers on the pulse of the industry.

Welcome back to another episode of oil and gas this week.

This is episode 109.

What's up, Mark?

Jake, God, we are all so busy.

We're heading into OTC, which is always the busiest week for all of us. But, you know, really good stuff. You know, if anybody listened to the episode you released previously where you and I were at Tulane, we had a great time, but we will apologize for the quality of the audio. We didn't have control over that. Poor excuse. Jake and I are already making plans. So in the future, when we go to speak in public, we'll have much higher quality audio. Hats off to Jake from taking something that you could not hardly listen to. At least you can listen to it now. But we had a great time. Yeah, such a great trip. And I'm really, really looking forward to going to some more of these universities and just meeting with more of these students. I think it's just a fantastic opportunity not only for them but also for us yeah and so if you're a school or university out there and you

went here jake and i know you're a school and university out there and you want to hear Jake and I come speak, what we've done that seems to work really well is we basically bring our first Friday Q&A to your school. And your students, you know, your students and your teachers and everybody else can ask us questions and we can kind of talk through

stuff so it's just it was it was a blast and very useful and Jake you don't know this but we're in

discussions with Tulane about becoming a regular part of their program out there so I'm looking

forward awesome that's great yeah yeah and speaking about audio you know what we have Jake I think

we got a new sponsor don't we yeah but we're not getting that yet oh we have our what we have, Jake? I think we get our new sponsor, don't we? Yeah, but we're not getting to that yet. Oh. We have our own radio station. That is true. So if you want to listen to us 24-7, check the link below. Why would you not want to listen to us 24-7? Who wouldn't want to listen to us 24-7? Yeah, so Jake will put a link in the show notes. It's ridiculously easy. Any browser you can listen to us. It's all good stuff. Now, you mentioned this earlier. We have a new sponsor. We actually have two on the road sponsors for 2017. Our newest one is Total Land. We have been dealing with them and have known them, how to relationship with them for years and years. We see them every year and all the nape, but they're the world's most advanced field land management system, literally the landman's virtual office. So if you're in that upstream landman world, you need to go check out total land. Great people doing some great work, and it just makes your life easier. Jake will put some links in a show note. And then still, Lee Heck and Harrison, the global experts in talent management.

You know, Lee Heck and Harrison is currently helping over 75% of the Fortune 500 oil and gas company, simplify the complexity of leadership and workforce transformation.

Once again, a really, really great company.

The really cool thing, Jake, is at OTC.

We're going to have their people and their banners out there. So if you come, if you want to come listen to Jake and I and the other podcast live from OTC, we'll be there the first day. And you'll be able to come out and meet us in person and ask us some questions. Speaking of stuff like that, we have Geo Convention coming up May 15th and 9th in Calgary and Jake, we are the

keynotes for the luncheon. I'm so excited, man. I think we have a good talk lined up. What are we talking about? So we're talking about pulling ahead in the midst of change. So the oil and gas industry is fundamentally changing. And we all know that, right? You can feel it, you can see it. And if you're company out there, the traditional ways of you selling and marketing doesn't work. And if you're,

if you're listening to this, you know I'm right. So Jake and I can talk about what this new world looks like and what you need to change and do differently to pull ahead of your competition. If you have an interest in this and you should, reach out to Dustin. Jacob put a link in the show notes to Dustin's email address. but he's still looking for people to sign up to come to our luncheons. And if you really want to get a lot of attention, sign it to be a lunch sponsor. That's what you need to do. And then also, so we've got OTC coming up in, what, two weeks now? Yep. So we're going to be at OTC. We'll be recording live from the NOVS shrimp boil and also from the Red Wing booth, right?

Yep.

So we'll actually be recording live from OTC floor itself on Monday, May 1st.
