  • Episode 129: Joseph Chrasta, Trunkline!

    Trunkline is a company that is needed across all industries, especially the oil and gas industry. Joseph’s story of being a facilities engineer for an oil and gas company and one of the first tasks he was put on was, to find service companies that can do the work they are looking for… Sounds crazy, right? Can’t you just google it? Call some friends, how hard can it be?? It’s incredibly difficult to find the best service company that has a track record for you to review. Everyone knows a guy that knows a guy, but when your job is on the line, you want to do the research and see the work! Trunkline is the only place to make that possible. We’re advocating that every operator and service company should be on Trunkline actively posting their projects and results. It’s a modern technology for modern communication that’s making a difference. Join Trunkline today, and we hope you enjoy getting to know Joseph as much as we did. LETS GOOO!!

  • Ep 2: Ph.D. with PBE
    Episode 2 of our ongoing series of a Ph.D. with PBE is in the books. Skip’s
    traversing geology in the outback with the MagmaChem perspective and the
    belief to make a difference. We discuss one of the wildest rocks found in
    outcrop, a sandstone that’s been transformed into an iron-saturated
    masterpiece. That’s not even for his Ph.D. just outcropping adventures!
    What is his dissertation going to be on? He will unravel the history of the
    planet from the northern Bowen Basin to Tasmania. Answering the questions,
    how did these rocks form, when did they form, and of course, when and how
    did the valuable elements and minerals emplace themselves in the system?
    We’re on one hell of a ride with this guy! A massive undertaking, a journey
    into chaos, and the destination is unknown at this time.
