This week, we’re talking with Ryan Rice from Resnet, a startup shaking up the oil and gas game with tech-driven solutions for production and reservoir management. Ryan shares how Resnet connects field and office teams with tools like their Well Tender system, which makes job dispatching safe and efficient—and even throws in a bit of gamification to keep things engaging. From self-funding and balancing software dev with consulting work to getting inspired by Salesforce during his time at Rice Energy, Ryan has turned big ideas into practical tools that improve data access, communication, and overall workflow. With Resnet’s focus now set on advanced well testing and flow control, Ryan’s got his sights on a smarter, more connected future for oil and gas. This episode’s all about innovation, persistence, and the tech taking the industry forward.
