Pioneers in the energy tech space are challenging the upstream market to modernize through advancements in technologies. Compared to other major sectors of the economy, the oil and gas industry is laggard in its adoption of technology, with huge opportunities for automation and connectivity waiting on the sidelines.

Those early to enter with oil and gas technologies are paving the way for others to follow, working on creating a change in culture that is receptive to technological integrations. The biggest challenges these leaders face are siloed data systems, antiquated filing/storage practices, and cultural resistance to change.

In this podcast, guest-host Evan Anderson CEO of Oseberg joins the show as we sit down with David Foresberg, venture capitalist and Managing Partner of Ascent Energy Ventures to discuss their outlook on the energy tech space. These two powerhouses are at the forefront of technological adoption in the upstream market, and share their insights into the future of technology in OandG and their journey through the space.
