What The Funk?

Ever wonder what it was like to be employee #11 at Chesapeake Energy? How about lessons learned working under the Tutelage of the legendary Aubrey McClendon? Or Watching an NBA arena get built in your home city, with the name of the Company that you helped build on the outside? Well, the unflappable Kevin Decker, who “hates public speaking” yet thrives every single time he’s given the podium – joins the guys to talk about all things OKC, CHK, OU/OSU, Aubrey, being a Patriots fan growing up in Oklahoma (!!), Production Optimization and much more.  A Super fun one!

What’s up wildcatter nation. If you didn’t know, all of these episodes are on youtube as well. Just go search digital wildcatters & make sure to subscribe to the channel. Also we have our weekly newsletter the roundup that recaps all content from the previous week along with commentary on what’s going on in the oil & gas world.

While you might not have heard of Power Sentry, you might have heard of Raptor Lift – which is what they were formerly known as. They have a new investor, new name and now an almost entirely new team. Electricity at the well site has two main problems, it’s one of your biggest lease operating expenses and it’s not always reliable – which can cause issues as well. So these guys schooled us up on how they’re tackling those issues.

This episode is sponsored by EnerPub, a new public data solution from Stonebridge Consulting.

When you’re looking for public oil & gas data you really have two options – Aggregate the data yourself from various state agencies or subscribe to a data provider.

This is a topic that comes up a lot for us and you typically hear a lot of the same things:

* They want to cut costs around accessing public data.* They want flexibility to select data sources.* They want to be able to easily integrate this data with existing systems.* And they want to be able to easily manipulate and work with the data.

EnerPub from Stonebridge is reimagining public data access by streamlining data integration & simplifying analytics. That means you can modernize your data sharing through big data platforms such as Azure, AWS & Snowflake as well as easily connect analytics platforms like Spotfire, Tableau, or PowerBI.

EnerPub 1.0 is now available, offering free access to curated data.

Camilo Mejia and Zane Foster from Enovate Upstream joined us this week for a great episode. These guys, like many in our industry, cut their teeth in the corporate world for nearly a decade each — before ultimately deciding that the corporate life wasn’t for them. We dive into the startup life and how their software platform is disrupting the drilling, completions, and production space.

This episode is brought to you by our good buddies over at WellDatabase. WellDatabase is our go-to provider for all things Oil & Gas Data.

If you’re messing with this kinda data – chances are you’re probably also doing some sort of Decline Curve Analysis. WellDatabase is now making that workflow super simple with their built-in Decline Curve Analysis tool.

Rather than find/export & import in Aries or PHDWinn – you can do it instantly right there in WellDatabase.

So that means if you’re looking through deals you can do your analysis at least 10x faster. If you want to see what the decline/EUR for Conoco in the Bakken vs. the Eagleford? Boom, you can do that too.

And probably one of the coolest features is the “Best Fit” curve – so it’ll figure out if it should be an exponential, hyperbolic, modified arps etc. and then tell you how good that fit actually is.

So once again, the guys over at Welldatabase are building more functionality into their platform at no additional cost outside of your normal subscription.

WellDatabases plans range from free for well level data to $1000/per month/ per user for their Professional package.

Go check them out at welldatabase.com and tell them we sent you.

We had a great chat with Alex & Darryl from Revo Testing Technology this week. It was really cool to hear about how they’re essentially capturing structured data around flowback and well testing that has traditionally just been analog – meaning, now they can capture new data points to get more insight into various reservoir characteristics. Hope you guys enjoy it!

A lot of you probably remember that we had Pete Waldroop on a while back to talk about W Energy. Well during that episode we talked for a second about another company he cofounded – Capitalize Consulting. Which is headed up by his partner Brian Zahn, who was one of the first employees when Pete cofounded Quorum. It’s not always easy to figure out what tech your company needs or how to implement it. That’s where Brian and his team have Capitalized.

Where is the “Most Leaningest” building in the world? The tallest? The Roundest?  Turns out UAE has a lot of “ests”. We had a lot of fun talking with Andrew Dennant from Dubai, UAE and discussed working and living in the Middle East and covering Africa as a Territory. And Jeremy and Tim thought they had travel headaches, try flying to some remote part of Algeria with plane cancellations and no driving options. Generally, Andrew educated us that you can’t generalize about the countries of the ME or Africa. A great listen.

It’s not every day that we have an E&P reach out to us with a recommendation of another company to have on the show but that’s exactly what happened this week. Endeavor Energy Resources out of Midland reached out and said they’ve been more than impressed with USI Technology headed up by Duc Lam. There are a ton of Type Curve Analytics out there but not many that combine physics to improve accuracy in instances where you might not have 6+ months of production data. So it was really cool to see how Duc and his team are approaching this problem.
