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

This is the show for busy oil pros who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.

Thanks again to everyone for joining us for episode 229.

Hey, Mark, we've survived another historical moment in the world.

What do you call it, historical moment?

I'm drinking beer because the water's under boil order.

Yeah, we just went through a winter storm from hell, basically.

But you know what, Paige?

You know it's cool?

It was really cool to see all the Texans chipping and helping out each other. Our neighbors are helping each other. Well, and that's just the nature of our culture here is, you know, we've been through hurricanes. And this was something that I don't think any of us really saw coming, but we banned together. Yep. Do you know even Will Smith came down to help? Will Smith. Yeah.

Yeah, we found him. Who? You just look for the fresh prints. Oh, my God. Are you serious? Come on. That was a good one. How long have you been saving that? Since our last winter weather, which is 19 years ago. That was ridiculous.

Anyway, if you want to support the show, please leave us a review so we can read it on the air and give you a shout out. Yeah, for the first time we haven't had a review. This is weird. It's probably because nobody could get on to. Nobody had the electricity. The whole country is shut down except South Florida. Speaking of shut down, we had to move our event. So our here now event is now been pushed out to Thursday, March 4th.

And because we pushed it out, what was sold out has now freed up some tickets. So if you want to go check it out in person, which's here in Houston live, we have just a handful of tickets left. You get dinner, drinks, get the watch page and I record a live episode. We're going about all of our new stuff that's coming out in our new shows. We're a big celebration of our sponsor. And we're going to reveal something that has been top secret for almost eight months. And it's the first time anybody's ever done anything like this. So the link will be in the show notes. And if you can't make it here in person, we're going to live stream so you can watch it remotely as well. All right. So this is First Friday Q&A. Thank you, everybody who submitted questions. Let's get right into it. Of course, as always, let's start up with Ludovic. His question is, is it hard to make a petrol station suitable for gas? Is it more complex than adding electric charging to a petrol station?

Yeah.

So what he's talking about, I'm sure, is we talked earlier about hydrogen and about how hydrogen in a lot of ways makes a perfect fuel, especially transportation fuel.

The problem is there's, of course, no infrastructure for it.

And yes, Ludovic, it's much more complex to build a petrol station suitable for hydrogen gas than it is for

adding electrical recharge, and mainly because of the difference in temperature and pressure.

Liquid hydrogen is extremely cold under extremely high pressure, and quite honestly, until

the robotics get involved with a robot itself connects the hydrogen fuel pump to your gas tank and your
