In-Basin Observations

Bill & John travel to the EnQuest Energy Solutions facility to talk with the President of EnQuest, Jamie Stewart. Jamie is an oilfield veteran with expertise in manufacturing, repair and service of oilfield equipment. The guys had a wide ranging conversation with Jamie and touched on numerous topics in the OFS world from supply chain troubles to the electrification of frac.

Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy this conversation. Feel free to give us feedback on the pod and pass this along to anyone else you think would find it interesting

While in Midland two weeks ago, Bill and John sat down with friend of DEP ProPetro's CEO Sam Sledge. The guys talk about Frac activity, PUMP's recent 3Q earnings, the Silvertip deal, and look into operational activity for the next 3 months and 2023. Activity in the Permian remains robust, notwithstanding several isolated reports of expected Q4 seasonal/year-end effects, the more interesting picture is the strength of the market for next year (which might have the best "visibility" in a very long time).

Thank you to all of our friends who made the trip for our 5th annual Permian Basin BBQ Cook-Off in Midland, TX. It was a major success thanks to all of you: all of the cooking teams, all of the sponsors, all of our judges and a big thanks to our great friends at Upright Digital. In this episode Sean, Bill, and Bob got together to reflect on the week and the impact this event has on our great industry.

Fresh off their successful event at Gleneagles in Scotland the Daniel Energy Partners team stepped into the Flecha Azul podcast studio and reviewed the week that was and their key takeaways from the event. The crew also looked forward at their events to come especially the wildly popular Permian Basin BBQ Cook-off which is only weeks away. Hit play and listen to the latest podcast of In-Basin Observations.

In our first podcast of 2022, John and Bill talk about the NAPE summit, review the state of the OFS market and discuss some 4Q earnings observations. The team is gearing up for more trips to the field and our THRIVE conference February 23 and 24.

In this episode, guest host Josh Lowery interviews John Daniel and Sean Mitchell about their recent BBQ in Midland.  Josh does a nice job of discovering the origins of the DEP BBQ and how these two have created an event like no other in the Permian Basin.

In this episode the DEP team sits down with Patrick Finney, VP of Completions at Chesapeake Energy, to talk about a recent trip to the Marcellus to visit Halliburton’s electric frac fleet.   We discuss some of the obvious benefits of the electric fleet and Patrick shares some of the key stats from Chesapeake’s first pad in PA.  In addition to the Zeus Electric pump that deliver 5,000HP at over 22 bbls/minute, we discuss the other electric components on location as well as the power supply that can be used with this all-electric solution.   Patrick also shares some interesting insights on what  CHK is doing different on the completions side with wet sand completions, electric compression and CNG trucks to haul sand.

In this episode the DEP team talks amongst ourselves. John, Bob and Bill hit the general themes in the field (in no particular order), labor, customer demand and service cost pricing. Topical this week is the rise of COVID cases and initial signs it’s beginning to impact the field. We also have some takeaways from the second quarter calls for the big 3 in OFS.
