You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast.

Brought to you by IBM, this is the show for busy oil pearls who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.

Thanks for joining us for episode 305.

So before we get into all the stuff, I have a question for the audience. We have been getting a lot of requests to actually take this show and put it on YouTube with video. If you think that would be valuable to you, audience, let us know. Let us know, yeah, we'd love to see you on YouTube, love to see you on video. Or no, we don't want to see what you look like. We want to keep listening to you audio only. We just love the feedback.

I think you just really want me to wear makeup. How rude. You look great without makeup.

It doesn't matter either way. And if you're somewhere north of Houston on June 28th,

preferably in Calgary, we're doing an oil and gas network mixer, just like we do here in Houston every month. We're doing it in Calgary, Alberta. It's sponsored by Emerson. There will be a link in the show notes. There's a few dollars to come see us. Paige and I will record an episode of Olegas this week, this podcast. And Paige, the charity that we're donated money to their supports retired

police dogs. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember making a decision about that. That's awesome.

Yeah. Yeah. So come join us. Come have some fun. If you're in Alberta, it's going to be a blast.

We're going to do a huge Alberta oil and gas industry pro oil and gas event. A lot of our brothers

and sisters that work in the industry have basically just been beaten down the last couple of years, and we're going to turn that around. Okay, do. And if you want to leave us a review, just click on the link in the show notes. Reviews are becoming in slower than normal, but we still appreciate each and every one. And we have a very short one, but it's a good one. Yeah, five stars. Great way to learn about oil. Our civilization is based on oil. This podcast will help you understand that from me, 741. And I'm not laughing because I think this is a bad review. I'm telling people, this is how shorter review you can lead. Literally, it's two sentences. Love to hear the five-star reviews. If you'd like to

see something different about the podcast, go ahead and give us a four-star review and let us know

what you'd like to change. Doesn't mean we will, but we'll take it under consideration.

I'll think about it. All right. Let's get into the news stories. Saudi pledges big oil cuts in

July as OPEC plus extends deal into 2024.

Yeah, so there's a lot of stuff in the news around this.

They've cut production.

Saudi is one of the few members of OPEC that can cut production, quite frankly.

They could drop about a million barrels a day.

It looks like for the rest of the year.
