Can nuclear power be deployed as easily as a shipping container?
In this episode of Oilfield 360, hosts David de Roode and Victoria Beard Queen sit down with Bobby Gallagher, CEO of Deployable Energy, to discuss how his experience in offshore drilling led to innovations in both well safety and nuclear energy.
From a millisecond-response blowout preventer concept to containerized microreactors designed to run for five years without refueling, Gallagher explains how factory-built nuclear systems could transform energy supply for remote grids, maritime operations, and critical infrastructure.
They also explore nuclear’s regulatory hurdles, global competition, and why building the next generation of energy infrastructure will require both engineering and leadership.
