Questions:

Hey Mark and Jake, huge fan of the podcast. I’m in renewables right now but am closely following the petroleum sector. I’m going to take a guess and say that the rising rig count in the US coupled with OPEC production cuts is going to narrow the delta between OPEC Basket and WTI/Brent crude. With changes like these in the market, do you think it will be profitable for our downstream to start moving it’s focus away from refining heavier (Middle East) oil, and move towards refining more of our own, lighter/domestic crudes.

Thank you for an excellent pod cast. You guys do a great job providing a diverse and informed overview of the oil and gas industry. It’s a great way to stay up to speed with moves in the industry.

In your podcast #92 around 10 minutes into the show you mentioned a standardization memorandum of understanding that was signed in Q3 between some of the operators. Our team is working on a project with one of the major subsea EPC companies to achieve this standardization. Is there any chance you can help me get my hands on this MoU or point me towards someone who can help me find this?

Thanks again and good work gents.

It’s always a pleasure to listen to your weekly podcast – consistently good insights and dynamic discussion about the ever changing dynamics of the oil and gas business. I’m a second year master’s student at Columbia University, specializing in the intersection of global macroeconomic trends and oil/gas markets. I, along with a host of other folks in my program, are eyeing oil and gas careers and I thought it would be great to engage you guys and possibly arrange for some kind of meeting to discuss the business in general, as well as possible career paths and strategies for students in my program. Your career insights would be very helpful to us all! I’d be eager to start a dialogue with you guys and perhaps host you for a visit at Columbia University. Look forward to hearing back. All the best.

Big fan of the show but unfortunately your podcast has stopped adding new episo…
