Welcome, everyone, to another episode of oil and gas this week.

You're listening to the last episode of 2016, episode 95.

What's going on, Mark?

It's the end of the year, Jake. It's the holidays. It's actually cool. I'm not going to say cold. It's cool, so it kind of feels like the holidays outside. And if everybody's listening, I'm sorry, but we're not going to have this long show because Jake and I aren't doing any more work until next year. We just wanted to say thank you to all our listeners because honestly, you're our family. You're an oil and gas family. Without you, I've said this before, it'd be Jake and I talking to ourselves, which would be kind of scary. So to each and every one of our listeners out there, whether you're a long-time listener or new listener, you know, from the show, from the Oil and Gas Global Network, from me and Jake personally, you know, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, and we look so much forward to re-engage with you in 2017. So really quickly, we'll go over just the basic stuff that we normally do. Let's talk about us on the road for the beginning part of next year. We'll go into some events and we'll cover the rig count and the bulwark winner for the week. Yeah, so we'll be at Geo Convention May 15, 19 in Calgary. Once again, if you've been listening to the show, if you want to kickstart your oil and gas business, especially if you're a service company, reach out to Dustin at Geo Convention.

We'll also be at Midcontin Digital All-Field Conference in January, NAPE and Feb, February, Process Safety in March, OTC in May. If you have an organization, a trade group, a social club, hey, even a drinking club, maybe. And you'd like Jake and I to come speak. We'd be happy to come do that for you. Reach out to us.
