This is the show for busy oil pros

who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry. Thanks for joining us for episode

386. We're live in Galison, Texas at the SBE Gulf Coast section, electric submersible pump

symposium. Yeah, that's a lot. And a huge thanks to accelerated construction unlimited for having us

here. Yeah, without their support, we would not be sitting here looking at a bunch of oil and gas people

that interested artificial lift having cocktails while we're working. And before we get to the news articles,

a couple of things I wanted to go over. So first thing, I wanted to get a big shout out to Veronica, our bar assistant, for making sure that we have adult beverages in front of us. Thank you, Veronica. Yeah, thank you, Veronica. AKA Carol. We weren't supposed to say that. Oh, my bad. And then the other thing I wanted to talk about is, Paige, we're doing something that nobody's ever done.

What's that?

We're setting up a golf event only for professional women in the oil and gas industry.

This is not the normal golf outing.

This is for women to come on the golf course, whether they're experienced player or they're not an experienced player. That would be me. Learn how to play the game.

I found out that on the golf course, a lot of time, women aren't always included in the business conversations that happen on the golf course. So we decided we're going to fix it. And we are. This is a half a day event. Actually, it's in the woodlands. We're going to have a focus on empowerment for women that are in leadership in the oil and gas industry. A big focus is going to be on the networking opportunities. So the participants will be paired up in ways that make sense. So if you work for an operator, you'll be paired up with some service companies. If you work for a service company, you'll be paired up with some operators. And if you can't play, that's fine. We'll help you develop your golf skills. If you're interested in networking in the oil and gas space, if you're a woman in the industry and sometimes you feel left out, this is the place for you. There'll be a link in the show notes and check it out.

We hope that everybody that's listening that has an interest in this attends.

And, as always, a part of our proceeds will go to Red M to help fight human sex trafficking. Awesome. That's a great news. Let's get to the news stories. All right. First off, we have Cinevis Energy to acquire M-E-G energy to expand oil sands portfolio.

Yeah, I should have saw this would come. Right. First off, we have Cinevis Energy to acquire M-E-G energy to expand oil sands portfolio.

Yeah, I should have saw this one coming, and I didn't. So this can bring two of the biggest

seam-assistant gravity drainage all-sand producers together as one. And if you don't know what

salient is, that's basically they use steam to heat the oil. Now remember, oil sands, it's not really drilling

like conventional reservoirs. It's closer to mining because that oil has an extremely high
