This episode of Digital Doers features Casey Thames sitting down with Sameer Shah, Lead Telecommunication Engineer at Bechtel, for a conversation about the critical infrastructure that powers modern energy facilities but often goes unnoticed: telecommunications.
Drawing on nearly two decades of experience supporting LNG, petrochemical, refining, and industrial projects around the world, Sameer shares how communications systems have evolved from isolated, analog networks into the digital backbone of today’s connected operations. The discussion explores how improved connectivity has transformed the way operators, technicians, and engineers access information, make decisions, and safely manage increasingly complex facilities.

Rather than focusing solely on technology, Casey and Sameer examine the real-world impact these advancements have had on the workforce. From replacing clipboards and paper documentation with connected mobile devices to enabling real-time access to engineering drawings, data, and operational information from anywhere in a facility, the conversation highlights how connectivity has fundamentally changed the way work gets done.
The episode also explores the challenges of delivering telecommunications infrastructure across multi-billion-dollar energy projects. Sameer shares lessons learned from working on some of the world’s largest LNG and petrochemical developments, discussing the importance of standardization, interface management, and collaboration across engineering disciplines to successfully execute projects at scale.

As the conversation looks toward the future, Casey and Sameer discuss emerging technologies such as private LTE, 5G, fiber networks, and low-earth-orbit satellite communications, and how these tools could further improve reliability, reduce installation complexity, and expand connectivity across industrial environments.
As with many conversations on Digital Doers, the discussion extends beyond technology itself and focuses on the people using it. Whether improving safety, enabling better decisions, or helping teams operate more effectively, the episode explores how connectivity has become one of the foundational elements of modern energy infrastructure.

The Energy Misconception Series | Episode 1 of 4
Gravity is just a theory. Relativity is just a theory. And apparently, so is my suspicion that printers are secretly plotting against humanity.
But if scientific theories are really just guesses, why are we using them to power our homes, operate nuclear reactors, and explain the universe?
After speaking at the OCAPLTA Symposium in Oklahoma City about energy myths and misconceptions, Kaden is launching a four-part investigation into everything we think we know about science and energy. And our first suspect? The word theory itself.
From a scientist who predicted invisible waves using mathematics to a mysterious planet that never existed, we’re uncovering what makes a theory scientific, why Newton was technically wrong about gravity, and how conspiracy theories managed to steal science’s vocabulary.
Because if the science powering our entire civilization is based on theories… should we be worried?
Or have we been misunderstanding one of science’s most important words this entire time?
Four episodes. Four investigations. And one very suspicious printer.
But hey, that’s just a theory… right?

Reality Capture and Digital Twins

What if you could walk through an oil & gas facility without being there?

In this episode, Jason Duff speaks with Noah Eckhous of NavVis about using LiDAR, cameras and SLAM to capture industrial facilities and create detailed digital environments.

The conversation explores how reality capture can support:

But capturing a facility is only the beginning. The real value comes from connecting its digital representation with engineering data, maintenance systems and operational workflows.

The result is a more accurate way to understand, navigate and operate physical assets — and a foundation for applying AI to the real world.
