  • #82: Next Gen Geo

    This episode’s guest is Dylan Morton. Dylan is a Geoscience graduate student at my alma mater, Oklahoma State University. 

    Since I first started the podcast Dylan has been someone that has consistently engaged and shared my content and I am very grateful for his support. I was excited when he agreed to come on the show and talk about his journey as an up and coming geologist in the industry. 

    This episode is filled with discussions about what it is like coming out of college in 2022 and with a geology degree and looking to work in oil and gas. 

    We talk about Dylan’s time interning at Denbury Resources at what he hopes to pursue when he graduates. Lastly, we discuss carbon capture and the experience he gained while at Denbury (who is one of the leaders in the emerging CCUS space). 

    Hope you enjoy the show!

  • #80: Tick Tock Next Block

    This episode’s guest is Joe Burnett with Blockware Solutions. Joe and I met through Twitter when we was working on a research report called the Golden Age of Bitcoin Mining. I’ll link the report in the show notes. 

    This episode’s we discuss how we are currently in a very profitable time to be mining Bitcoin.  We talk about the history of hash rate on the network, how we see it growing into the future. Lastly, we talk about the energy side of Bitcoin Mining and how miners are out there like energy pirates locking down all the cheap energy they can find.

  • #79: The Green Chicken

    This episode’s guest is the notorious little green chicken who writes some of the best energy commentary on Twitter, Doomberg.

    For those who don’t know, Doomberg is the anonymous publishing arm of a bespoke consulting firm providing advisory services to family offices and c-suite executives. The principals at Doomberg apply their decades of experience across heavy industry, private equity and finance to deliver innovative thinking and clarity to complex problems.

    This episode’s filled with discussions about the energy policy failures happening in Europe and the risk here in the US that we fall into the same trap. 

    We talk about how decommissioning the legacy baseload power generation in favor of renewables, while simultaneously discouraging the increased use of nuclear and natural gas is not just unsustainable, it’s also dangerous. 

    Lastly, we discuss the monetary policy backdrop that is the invisible hand having an impact on everything from energy to the crypto markets. 

    Hope you enjoy the show!

  • #77: Dr. Tinker

    This episode’s guest is Dr. Scott Tinker. Dr Tinker is a Director for the Bureau of Economic Geology; the State Geologist of Texas; Chairman of the Switch Energy Alliance; and the professor holding the Edwin Allday Endowed Chair in the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin. 

    I have been a huge fan of Dr. Tinker’s work over the years and was very excited to get him on the podcast. He is someone who is a powerful voice in the energy space and if you haven’t heard him talk you are in for a treat. 

    This episode we talked about how we can have more productive conversations on energy and policies in a nuanced way without falling into the trap of hyperbolic mainstream media rhetoric. We dive into the geological history of the earth’s climate and the challenges involved with modern climate science. Lastly, we discuss energy poverty and how it is one of the biggest humanitarian problems that we face. We explore the realistic ways we can lift humanity up and give people access to cheap and abundant energy.  

    Hope you enjoy the show!

  • #76: TE Direct - Bitcoin, Energy & Decentralization

    This episode is a recording from the Innotech OKC Conference where I did a talk on Bitcoin, Energy & Decentralization. I tried to make this speech relatively high level because the audience was a non-bitcoin crowd and wanted to try to explain things as simply as I could. 

    In the talk I cover:

    Bitcoin 101 - the basics of the tech
    Bitcoin Network - how the network functions
    Byzantine General's Problem - what problem did Bitcoin solve
    Bitcoin's Energy usage - network security and why energy is the secret sauce
    Bitcoin Energy use is a good thing - talk about the benefits of proof-of-work over proof-of-stake
    Addressing the FUD - I talk about some of the common fear, uncertainty & doubt that people typically bring up in regards to Bitcoin
    What is money? - cover the concept of money and how Bitcoin is objectively the best form of money ever created
    The Moral Case for Bitcoin - I give my case for why we need Bitcoin
    Ancova Digital - brief overview on our company Ancova Digital
    Lastly I take questions from the audience

    Hope you enjoy the show!

  • #74: LandManLife

    This episode’s guest is Gates Mueller (aka LandManLife). Gates is an OG oil & gas content creator and started his LandManLife blog back in 2010. 

    Gates also has some of the best swag in the game for oil & gas companies, including some of my favorites like Brrcot gear or the Kenny Lay Roll Call hats. 

    This episode is filled with stories from the life of an independent landman. We talk about the oil & gas content creation space and what the LandManLife brand is doing to push out more quality content for people to consume. 

    Lastly, we muse on the problems facing the industry today and how no matter what narrative you are reading out there, oil and gas is going to continue to play a material role in the energy mix for the foreseeable future.

    Hope you enjoy the show!
