I'm Jake Corley, and I'm Mark LaGour.

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

This is the show for busy oil professionals who want to quickly get their fingers on the pulse of the industry.

Welcome back for another episode of oil and gas this week.

You're listening to Episode 97. What's going on, Mark?

Life is good, man. The weather's nice outside. We're doing another podcast. We get closer to 100. You and I had a lot of fun and met a lot of new young people on industry last night. So things are awesome. Yeah. So last night we had the APIYP, I guess we can call it kind of like a town hall. It was an open member meeting. I think we had roughly around 50 people show up.

It was super awesome. We got a lot of really good feedback from people as to kind of the direction that we can take this young professionals group here in Houston. Yeah. And I think hats off to you, Jake, and your peers in that group. So instead of y'all trying to figure out what you want to do for 2017 for your group, you actually ask members to come in and talk to y'all, and you actually had some rigor around it. The speed dating part I thought was pretty cool. We all got input on different subjects. So this will allow you and your peers to build that group in a way that's beneficial for everybody. So if you're in our audience and you're listening and you didn't go, you missed out. It was great beer, great food. Thanks to Carbock, once again. Thanks to Carbock. We met a lot of new people that are coming into the API Young Professionals Group. If you want to play a partner, reach out to Jake or go online. What is it, Jake? API-y-y-P-org. And we'll put the link in the show notes, too. It's $25 a year, people. And you're actually a member of the Houston chapter of the API, not just API Young Professionals by default. So you're a member of the largest API subchapter in the world.

So they're going places. They're doing really cool stuff. I'm glad to play a part in that. And Jake, y'all are just rock and roll it over there. Yeah, it was a really, really great event. And thanks to everyone for coming out. We met a lot of listeners last night too, which was different. It was different. It was just like, oh, hey, I listened to the podcast.
