| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the oil and gas this week podcast with Mark LeCore and Paige Wilson. |
| 0:17.3 | This is the show for busy oil pros who quickly want to keep their finger on the pulse of the industry. |
| 0:26.8 | You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast brought to you by Cognite, AI for the industry. |
| 0:31.7 | Optimized production and decrease operational risks with trustworthy AI across the oil field. |
| 0:37.3 | This is the show for busy oil pros who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry. |
| 0:41.9 | And thanks for joining us for episode 385. |
| 0:46.4 | Boy, we got a lot of stuff to talk about. |
| 0:48.4 | But before we get all that couple of things, I want to give a huge shout out to Tyler. Tyler is Nina Spencer's husband. |
| 0:57.2 | Matt and I recorded recently with Nina from the Sales of Marketing podcast. And unfortunately, |
| 1:04.5 | Nina, being the good wife that she is, forgot to mention that the reason she was turned |
| 1:08.0 | onto the podcast was because of her husband. So she got in a little bit of hot water with her hubby. So Tyler, I'm letting you know now. You're getting a shout out. Thank you for turning Nina onto our show. And evidently, you've turned a lot of people onto our show. So we really appreciate it. We love our fans. And Tyler, this makes you a super fan. And I've already fussed at your wife for not letting me know when we were court with Matt that you were the reason that she found out about the show. So, Tyler, there is your shout out. Nina, I hopefully got you out of some hot water. Speaking of cool stuff like I just did for Tyler, Paige, we still have some impact tickets left. That's surprising. Yes, if you want to join. |
| 1:44.6 | Well, I'm very selective in how I'm giving these out. |
| 1:48.1 | So we've had a handful of people reach out to us. |
| 1:50.2 | And then Cognite actually gave us a few more tickets. |
| 1:52.6 | So if you want a ticket to the most incredible user form I have ever been to, |
| 1:57.3 | with real world examples of how AI is being used in oil and gas industry from upstream, midstream, downstream, even to the service side of it. Reach out to me. You have to reach out to me directly. You've got to figure out how to get a hold of me directly, but the other people did. And I will give you a code for free tickets. Like I said, we have a handful of those left, so hurry on that. And then we have a review. |
| 2:18.2 | You want to read it? Yeah. So it's a five-star review from the bottom. Great show. My life has |
| 2:23.4 | been way down in the downstream of petroleum, but I love hearing what's going on at the top of |
| 2:28.5 | the energy world. It works as massively marvelous wonder of the modern age from, I feel like you did that on purpose. Age from the hydrocarbon discovery or fueling our world. And we don't know who that's from. It's from Mac Explorer, too. That's who it's from. Thank you, Mac Explorer, too. And by the way, you're not at the bottom if you're in downstream. And in many ways, in my personal opinion, downstream is what makes all the cool stuff that hydrocarbons provide in the mankind possible. No hate mail from the upstream guys and the midstream guys. I get it, right? Somebody has to find it. Somebody has to move it. Somebody has to turn it to stuff that we sell. But I'm a huge fan of downstream. It's actually one of the few parts of the industry. We don't have a podcast around yet. Stay tuned. Oh, God. Not another one. Let's get to the questions. All right. As always, it's for Friday Q&A. And we start off with Ludwig. His question is, I just read about the Texas flooding. I hope you and everyone around OGGN, including families and so on, are safe. Hope everyone is okay. If you need help from Europe, let me know. You know, Luthbert, an audience, when we made the announcement, we had people immediately respond wanting to help from all over the world. So, Luke, thank you for the bottom of my heart. There's not much you can do now. I believe they've already recovered, unfortunately, all the bodies. I think there's one left. There's one left. Yeah, it's a little girl. There's a bunch of things going on, both from a legal point of view in regulation and also from the communities. And OGGN is looking at a way to help with this sort of stuff now and the future. I don't know what that's going to look like, but we have the leadership team working on this. And whenever we figure out what we're going to do to help this type of situation, we'll let you know. But really appreciate your willingness to help you, Luthwick, and literally thousands of you all from around the world. So thank you for wanting to help us. We're going to figure out some way to let you do just that kind of a somber moment. So maybe |
| 4:14.6 | let's switch it over to something. Yeah, yeah. And I'll put some links where you can donate |
| 4:18.2 | in the show notes for everybody that doesn't have that information. All right. So next question |
| 4:23.9 | is from Nick Dore. I'm assuming it's Doree. Intern for Acquisition Company. I'm currently a |
