Have you ever sat in a meeting with a field foreman, production engineers, chemical engineers, and landmen? Have you ever been lost with all the jargon and verbiage thrown around in the room or even out in the field? I HAVE! After over two years in the industry, I still come across new terms or slang terms […]
I usually like to choose my weekly blog topics stemmed from something I have recently been thinking about or an event that is happening. Hence, the blog I wrote last week was appropriately timed about the Thanksgiving Parade. It is too early for my Christmas blog so I won’t jump on the early Christmas bandwagon just […]
Whenever you are listening or reading about oil production, oil supply, or oil prices you will often notice OPEC being part of the story. I’m pretty sure most people know what OPEC is and I bet there is an equal number of people who wonder what OPEC is all about. I know very little […]
If you have kept up with our blogs, you have probably picked up on the point that oil and natural gas are essential resources for not only America but for the world. There are countless uses for both oil and gas. Some of which you may find surprising. So why in some areas, is natural […]
There seem to be meetings or summits of global leaders quite often. Well, there was another one recently. The United Nations Climate Change Conference was very recently held in Le Bourget, Paris. It ran from November 30 to December 12th. Obviously Mother Earth and how to make her last longer was the main topic of discussion. All the news […]
You hear about the oil and gas industry everywhere. Even more so in Houston, TX. Heck…just in Texas in general! With the industry buzzing all around us, it is hard to know what information is true, what information is false, and what information is exaggerated. So I have compiled some common myths that I know […]
When I heard a quick blurb on new radio stating that natural gas companies were going to have to report and document toxic emissions, I really listened up. I got to thinking and asked myself some questions. First off where will these reports be documented? Who would have access to them? The last thing that […]
If you answered yes to the title of my blog this week, gold star for you! I’m just a little over a year in the oil and gas industry. I had no idea what PADD stood for. With all the current hoopla tied to the possible abolishment of the 40-year-old oil export ban, I stumbled onto […]
I am sad to say that I have never ridden on a train. I don’t count the train ride at Herman Park or the Light Rail through the Texas Medical Center as a true train ride either. Here in SE Texas, railways and all public transportation in general is just not a mode of transportation used very often. We are car-loving […]
There are multiple countries that produce oil and gas. Some more than others and some not at all. Who are the ones that produce the most? Has it changed throughout the years? This year, it is no secret that things have changed due to the slump. With wells being shut in, the numbers have changed. […]
I’ve written a few blogs talking out the oil export ban here in the united states. 1975 Ban on Oil Exports in the US So Companies CAN Export Oil…Well Sort Of Senators are working Together to get the 1975 Oil Ban Lifted This will actually be my fourth blog mentioning it. Why to I keep coming […]
With the oil and gas industry taking a hit right now you have not heard too much complaining from fracking haters. Production has slowed so there are less wells being fracked, so I guess that means less complaining. Speaking of complaining. An interesting document was released this week. An independent group of subject matter experts from academia, […]
Climate Change, Global Warming, whatever catch phrase you prefer to use, they are not going away. The planet is changing, that, no one can deny. Why it is changing and what can be done to stop it, if anything, is what is constantly being debated. The current administration rolled out the Clean Power Plan in […]
When I am going through the proposal process with a client, I am trying to get as much well information as possible. This ensures that the data I pass onto the engineers I work with is as detailed as possible. The more details, the more accurate our proposal sent to the client will be. One […]
I have written about the 1975 Oil Export Ban two times now. Why do I keep going back to it? Personally, I think that is something that needs to stay on people’s minds. By allowing the U.S. to export any oil and gas products, will boost our economy and take power away from OPEC. Two very […]
I want to go back to basics this week. I write a lot about regulations, pipelines, and treating gas after the well head. But an ongoing question and concern that I find a lot of people have, is hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking. So I want to simply discuss in this blog exactly what […]
The naysayers have been quiet this week. The price of a barrel of oil has grown almost $15.00 a barrel in just one month. GREAT NEWS for my state’s economy and for the industry that supports my growing family. However, it’s not all peaches and cream. There are still lots of marginal sized companies barely hanging on. […]
Who doesn’t like science experiments? I remember getting so excited about lab days back in grade school. Making ice cream, creating fires, making foam and more! It was always a nice break from schoolwork, too. So I decided to kick it old school and relive a lab day! Before I jump into my science experiment, […]
I love the phrase ‘fiscal responsibility’. I threw that phrase around all the time at my previous job. I worked for an amazing non-profit organization here in Houston, so it was a daily focus. Fiscal responsibility is something that anyone or any company can practice. With the current oil and gas market, I know it […]
I’m about to brag about how wonderful Texas is again in this week’s blog, be warned. So once again my amazing home state is getting a leg up in the energy business. The Port of Brownsville, which is the only deep water port located in the U.S. / Mexico boarder, is slated to get a new […]
