Guys, great show as always long time lister and I have three questions for you. When you look at the geological map of the US, there are five major basins. As a native of Illinois, The Illinois basin or New Albany shale at one point was the second producing field in the 80’s. So any reasons there’s little to no activity in this field with the latest horizontal extraction methods and price of crude going back up? Can the state of Illinois generate revenue by attracting producers with incentives like taxes because they sure aren’t getting out of debt selling cheap bonds.

I am currently working for the developing company called PetroHub based in Stavanger, Norway. Our company is a new generation B2B digital platform dedicated to buyers and suppliers in the global energy industry. Our primary goal is to digitalize quite conservative and slow oil & gas industry on procurement and marketing sides. We do it by means of online platform that puts industry suppliers in one place and provides them with multiple channels to represent their abilities and showcase their products and services to the industry buyers. We also provide possibility for buyers to submit Request for Quote (RFQ). RFQs are visible to all suppliers, and registered suppliers can bid on relevant to them RFQs. (You can visit www.petrohub.com for more info if needed). We are currently working on several additional solutions including PetroHub mobile app. Our target right now is Norwegian, UK and European market primarily. Our main push right now is to expand our online presence and attract more traffic to the platform making it into a big O&G hub as we intended it to be. I believe that your podcast is mainly catered towards to US market and the majority of your listeners are based in US. I think that a lot of information that you provide is very relevant to O&G industry in Europe. As we are mainly catering European market, we are wondering if you would be interested in a partnership of any sort? We could, as you say in the end of every podcast, “pay it forward” and start sharing your podcasts on our platform and help you increase your presence towards European listeners if you would be interested. Hope to hear from you soon.
