EP 65: Brandon Davis from AFE Leaks


Listen Later

We're lifting the curtain on the mysterious world of energy data transparency with the guy who's shaking things up at AFE Leaks. He's on a mission to break open the hidden details around oil and gas costs and operations, think: cracking open dusty old filings and turning them into something everyone can actually use. He chats about the wild ride of starting a data-driven company in an industry ruled by giants, spills some truth about the headaches of digitizing mountains of paperwork, and gives us a peek at how AI is quietly changing the game. Plus, hear what’s really happening behind the scenes in the ultra-competitive lower 48 data market and how clear, accessible data might just be the industry's next big revolution.
