In November of 2013, Heath Holloway recognized a serious void in the oilfield that he could fulfill. With the help of a qualified team of individuals, he began the long journey of servicing oilfield companies in the DJ Basin.

Service to oilfield companies is a necessity that Titan Solutions had the opportunity to exploit. What would be at first a small supplier of LED light plants, grew into something more than anyone expected. As their success expanded and their reputation for outstanding service grew, more clients would request more services.

Titan rose to the occasion, now offering numerous business lines to a multitude of companies. Titan has answered these requests throughout the years since their start and continues to do so today by expanding their business model to new customers in new regions.

This company has proven that even through devastating economic downturns, if you provide exceptional products with best in class service, you will be triumphant. Today Titan Solutions secures careers for over 120 of our people with plans of expansion into additional regions. www.titansolutions.org

Josh Swanson, Vogel Law, gives an update on the Wilkinson vs. Board of University and School Lands involving mineral rights and payments in the Bakken and Lake Sakakawea.

Swanson reiterates how the mineral owners have won court cases in the past, yet the state continues to appeal and argue.

Swanson explains how this case has created the potential for inner-state lawsuits, in that the one department board of governance will sue another department’s board despite the Governor and the Attorney General sitting on both boards.

Swanson also talks about other areas of his law practice he is seeing activity in the oil and gas sector. He cites contact breaches and disputes as well as collections as areas he is seeing increased interest.

The interview shifts gears completely and talks about Swanson’s North Dakota State Bison radio show and podcast.

The Crude Life host Jason Spiess joins Genneca for a weekly energy report on The Country Twins morning show. Spiess discusses how the coronavirus is impacting the economy.

Stories about toilet paper, bat wing soup, nurses, travel, eating out and working from home are several of the topics discussed under the coronavirus umbrella.

Spiess made notes of the cancellations, saying the NBA was willing to experiment a fanless experience, but after two players tested positive, the league felt obligated to take the path of total safety. That scenario was discussed with off shoots of how important fans are to the game and live events. How cancellations became a one-ups-manship after the NBA – from March Madness to parades to schools.

Spiess mentioned how schools closing before state agency and public health departments recommended so is an example of leadership – whether it is good or bad leadership, will be determined.
