Questions:

Hi guys, going into my final year (May 18) and as a prior marine (3 times Iraq, 1 time Afghan vet) where is that Vet focused pod cast. Any info for veterans would be great. Thanks again guys and love the podcast.

 First of all, great podcast! Heard about it from a friend and this was the 2nd episode I was able to listen to. Definitely been able to learn a lot as a senior in Undergrad from just a hour of y’all. I heard you guys mention Drilling Info was holding a luncheon in which we could attend to listen to their takeaways about the industry. I was wondering how I could register for that? Thanks for the help fellas and a lot respect to y’all for bringing this industry closer together! 

I’m currently working in North Dakota, but I’m looking at an opportunity to do some oil service work in Bakersfield, CA. I love California and have friends that live in the area, but I’m a little worried about the future of oil in California. What are your thoughts and opinions about California’s current and long term situation with the Oil and Gas industry?

First off, I would like to say thank you for all of the awesome content you present on the podcast as I am an avid listener and very much appreciate what you guys do. I am a Corrosion Engineering student at the University of Akron and have heard you mention that you speak at universities. I am the founder and chair of UA’s chapter of Material Advantage, which holds our meetings with our NACE Student section and Corrosion Squad, and I am very interested in having you as guest speakers. Please let me know what information you need on my end to go forth with this. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! 

First thing is I love the show guys, I never miss an episode! I’m in a sales role and report to a senior account manager. He has been doing this type of work for over 20 years, so I really respect his experience and very large network with the major oil companies.

In this Episode of Oil & Gas This Week – We put our normal show on hold while we take time to discuss the recent devastation Houston has endured from Hurricane Harvey. While our OGGN team wasn’t directly affected, we all know people who lost everything. It’s been heartbreaking to see. The one thing that will always stick with us about this disaster was how the entire community locally and nationally rallied behind Houston.

Questions:

With the information overload about what is happening with OPEC and how exports are affecting price per barrel in the US, can you please just dumb down the whole thing and explain what is happening at a high-level and why it’s affecting oil prices in layman’s terms?

 With the shortage of talent in oil and gas industry why are companies not streamlining their application process and using new technology . Nobody wants to sit in front of their computer for three hours anwering behavioral questions just to wait another month for a background check

Hi guys,

I’m a new listener and really enjoy the podcast. On the episode that kicks off with the EQT/RICE deal you were talking about your doubt that oil & companies will utilize AI by 2020. I’d agree it sounds pretty far fetched, but the contract drillers are already doing some interesting things with cognitive learning. Check out page 27 of Precessions investor deck:

Questions:

I hear you keep saying that sales and marketing folks need to be on social media. Could you please elaborate on this in a little more detail? I am a millennial and I understand social media, but B2B on social media is not quite as straight forward as B2C. For starters, many of my customers are not on social media. And secondly, those that are on social media are on it for personal interests and not for business. I suppose LinkedIn is considered the B2B social media, but it seems like the only people who are active on it are other salesmen. The customers are active on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Is this a fair assessment? And how do I reach them effectively, since they are on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram during personal hours.

After the blockbuster acquisition of Rice Energy, EQT has become the largest natural gas produced in the United States. This was the last in a number of basin consolidation acquisitions by EQT over the past two years, which, including the Rice deal, total more than $10 billion.

It seems like Marks recent comments about climate science struck a nerve with some folks, enough to make them go back and change their rating for the podcast.

I’m new to your podcast, and I can say with confidence that it’s very well constructed. My question for you is, being fairly new to the oil and gas industry, how would I be able to do my own due diligence to be knowledgeable of the sector and find opportunities for myself. Just some personal info: I am in 2nd year and work part-time.

I am a lawyer in Beverly Hills. We have a client who plans to buy gasoil from refineries in India and ship it to other countries. I’m looking for information about two topics:

1. Price Term.

2. Supervision.
