Discussions about artificial intelligence tend to focus on its risks, but there is also excitement on the horizon. AI tools, like the models beneath ChatGPT, are being increasingly used by scientists for everything from finding new drugs and materials to predicting the shapes of proteins. Self-driving lab robots could take things even further towards making new discoveries. As it gets ever more useful, could AI change the scientific process altogether?Jane Dyson, structural biologist at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, explains why Google DeepMind's AlphaFold tool is useful, but scientists should be aware of its limitations. This week, Google DeepMind released a new tool to unpick the link between genes and disease, as Pushmeet Kohli, head of the company's “AI for Science” team, explains. Also, Kunal Patel, one of our producers, meets Erik Bjurström, a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology and Ross King, a professor of Machine Intelligence at Chalmers University of Technology and at the University of Cambridge. They explain why self-driving lab robots could make research more efficient.

Large E&Ps have more sources of credit.- costs in the oilfield: the larger the firm you are, the more pricing power you have, both with services and materials- larger firms can take advantage to get lower costs but smaller E&Ps are still facing higher costs- potential decreases in cost in H2- Contracts with rigs and suppliers are the issue - if firms locked in contracts in 2022 then prices are higher even if prices are going down now. When the contracts were signed is driving the costs- Oil producers in the US think that global oil consumption has slightly underperformed this year what they expected at the start of the year.

Big Oil Has $150 Billion in Cash and Investors Want a Sharehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/big-oil-has-150-billion-in-cash-and-investors-want-a-share-b5cdea35- oil companies sitting on cash now, but they may need that cash for when prices are lower- should they return all this cash to shareholders now or keep it to pay out in dividends throughout the next cycle?- what about needing cash to account for uncertainty in regulations?Oil's sharp slide has surprised markets. But some traders now see a bottom for priceshttps://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/08/oils-sharp-slide-has-surprised-markets-but-some-traders-now-see-a-bottom-for-prices.html- analysts have "feelings" that oil prices have seen their bottom- what are the signs? expectation that US gasoline demand will be strong this summer? strong jet fuel demand? inventories? industry? Diesel demand? Chinese manufacturing data? Fed is done raising interest rates?- OPEC is a big uncertainty. Will OPEC take action to cut production at its June meeting or keep production stable?- Will OPEC members adhere to their voluntary cuts?- Diesel numbers aren't good for demand- Could hit summer driving season and demand goes up but then OPEC would need to hold production steady- If Russia doesn't actually cut then oil prices could go lower when evidence hits marketOil climbs almost 3% as recession fears begin to fadehttps://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/oil-prices-inch-up-recession-fears-begin-fade-2023-05-08/- The fears aren't fading, they just aren't as bad as they seemed before.- Was the price slide in oil really overdone?- OPEC to release monthly oil report on Thursday?No more gas stoves? New York is first state to ban gas in new buildingshttps://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/2023/0505/No-more-gas-stoves-New-York-is-first-state-to-ban-gas-in-new-buildings- "It's part of a larger state plan to reach net-zero energy emissions by 2050" but the power plants will probably still be permitted to use natural gas- "By 2026, most new buildings under seven stories will have to use electric heat pumps for controlling air temperatures and for hot water. Larger buildings will have to comply by 2029. Some businesses that require extreme high heat to operate are exempt."- Heat pumps don't work that well. What will cities like Buffalo do?- "The state's energy cushion could narrow beginning in 2025 as some generators are deactivated and demand grows" according to New York's grid operator. Probably will not take older generators out of commission in order to continue to provide electricity.Special Guest Kunal Patel from Dallas Fed - Q1 Surveyhttps://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2023/2301- 200 firms in 11th district registered- data collected March 15-23- Data suggest expansion in upstream over the last 2 years is stalling- supply chain delays eased- employment growth continuing but not as fast as before- executives are not optimistic- expect crude oil to end year at $80/barrel- WTI at $73/barrel but breakeven is around $62/barrel: range of averages from $56 to $66. But that includes different regions, Eagle Ford, Permian, etc. - most firms can profitably drill at current prices but last year breakeven was lower ($56/barrel). Large firms (10,000bpd or more) need $55/ barrel while smaller firms need less).- Generally if executives think the price is currently in a good range they predict that oil will end the year at the same price. Last year they thought prices would come down. Now they think prices will go up.- Question: What West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price does your firm need to cover operating expenses for existing wells? AVerage across sample is up by 10% from last year. Suggests increase in cost just to manage existing wells. - Price to complete a DUC has to be between operating expenses and price to put well into production. Completion cost is generally 2/3 of the cost of the well.- $70 oil but $2 gas -- is this an issue? Natural gas and natural gas liquids are seen mostly as an additional uplift. Cost of natural gas mostly impacts the just natural gas drillers.- Push to reduce emissions by moving to electric power is impacting the area. Using electric powered turbines in fracing, for example. More wells mean more electricity needed but often they are away from civilization and its hard to get electricity.- Anger towards BLM - especially regarding permitting rules. Even renewables are having trouble getting permits from BLM. Length of time to get permits is increasing.- Costs continued to rise, but supply chain issues easing. Why? Activity was flat, so maybe supply chain caught up? no, equipment that was ordered a long time ago was finally delivered. Could costs be in labor?Next report coming out June 22!Check out energy indicators and energy slide show! This is a public episode.

Why don't they just reduce the amount of ethanol in their gasoline?On gas stoves:- see for a good explanation - for a quick run down: Biden agenda, lithium mine, tribes, greens collide in Nevadahttps://www.nbc4i.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-bidens-agenda-lithium-mine-tribes-greens-collide-in-reno/- What's really green or not?- $700 million loan guarantee offered by Biden admin for this mine even though permits are being challenged in judicial systemSpecial Guest Kunal Patel from the Dallas Fed on the Q4 2022 Energy SurveyEllen's Investing.com Columnhttps://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2022/2204#tab-report~ 200 oil and gas firms in 11th district (152 responses to survey)Main takeaways: - expansion of activity solid- costs continued to increase but some moderation in increases- supply chain delays continue to persist- employment demand in the field- uncertainty up amongst executives- Most executives think price of oil at end of 2023 will be in the $80 range (average $84/barrel)Capital expenditures: 2022 vs. 2023- firms are looking to increase capital expenditures- BUT there's also cost inflation, so much of the capital expenditure increases could just be due to cost inflation- expect small increase in activity, nothing too significant, but spending will go up.https://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2022/2204#tab-questions- Will cost inflation be higher than last year? thinking is that is won't be as much of an increase.- How does this fit with the EIA forecast? Activity will increase. More firms are saying they are increasing production not declining but the increase is declining. Slower growth is the key word here.- EIA says 12.6 million bpd by end of 2023. Can the Permian hit that? On an annual basis we will produce more, but on a month to month basis we won't hit as high production levels (13 million bpd in 2019).- "Slowing growth" is the word for 2023?- But maybe slower growth isn't a bad thing? Activity will be higher in 2023 than in 2022. How long will our resources last? - Cost inflation makes it hard for firms to know how much they are going to spend this year. Supply chain disruptions are still having a major impact. Even if firms wanted to increase activity they couldn't because they don't have the parts.- Maturing asset base is listed as number 2 reason why growth isn't happening as fast. Are US assets closer to end of life cycle?- price volatility mentioned in comments "The volatility in commodity prices is creating bid–ask spreads to blow out on transactions. Fewer deals are to be had in this style of environment."- regulatory environment listed less this quarter- could there be a recession? this came up a lot- CEOs prediction for the price of oil at the end of the year is most impacted by what the price of oil was at the time they were asked for the prediction.- What price are you using for your budget question gets a much more conservative answer though CEOs are moving up the underlying price for their budgets.- "Leasing has increased and new drilling has increased."Q1 2023 Survey will be out at the end of March!

Anything surprising?- 200 upstream firms signed up in district - 137 responded. - diffusion indices, give direction of where indicator is going. - Challenges around cost increases and supply chain issues. Pace of increases is very strong. strongest it's ever been. Firms are dealing with significant cost increases and time lags.Supply chain issues - 47% rated them as "significantly negative" and 47% rated them as "slightly negative." What supply issues rated amongst the most difficult to procure for firms? How do you see this as impacting production?- steel tubular rated as good with most significant shortage- sand also needed for completions. Firms that want to increase activity above plan don't know where they will be able to get steel, labor or sand- tariff exemption on Ukrainian steel is helpful but Ukrainian steel mills aren't able to produce. Executive said, get rid of steel tariffs from other countries- Sand could be trucked in but also shortage of truck drivers.- Will take 7-8 months to get a new well drilled and producing.A number of analysts expect U.S. crude oil production to grow by nearly 1 million barrels per day (mb/d) from December 2021 to December 2022. By how much do you expect U.S. oil production to grow?37% said they expect oil production to increase by between 800,000bpd and 1 million bpd but almost as many (34%) said they expect production to grow by less than or equal to 800,000 bpd. Are analysts being too optimistic with their growth forecasts, especially given how executives feel supply chain issues are impacting them?- hard to say whether analysts are being too optimistic.- higher prices provide incentive to grow. But cost inflation is major. Most people thought costs would increase 10%, but its likely much more than that (maybe 25%). Dallas Fed thinks it will be less than 1million bpd growthGovernment regulations are still a significant factor driving uncertainty for firms but supply chain issues, inflation and labor shortages have eclipsed that - is this a change from earlier surveys?- generally higher oil prices mean more money and less uncertainty. Now, prices increased but uncertainty also increased.- Lots of comments saying government regulation is important.- Kansas Fed asked same question and firms said that government regulations were cause of most uncertainty, not supply chain, labor, inflation etc. Different region - not the Permian.

The Orlando Gaming community continues to grow and it's events like the Mega Health Jam that help to make it happen. April 12th - April 15th will welcome the first annual Mega Health Jam to Orlando. The brainchild of Medspeaks Kelli Murray and the Orlando Game Space' Kunal Patel the event will bridge and unite our thriving communities of Health Care and Technology in an effort to create wellness and health care technologies ALA game jam style. Rather than write about it we have set aside episode 12 of This is Orlando to fill you in and create awareness. Here are the main points of interest;Thursday night April 12th and the Cinedome inside of the Orlando Science Center we kick off with a night of chats, networking and fellowship. Get to know the players involved, grab a bite and a drink and jump the gun to start crafting pitches for the jam. Friday night we move over to the Guidewell Center at Lake Nona, a state of the art co working lab that houses a good portion of those Orlandoans who work in Medical Simulation. Friday night is pitch night and will decide the focus of the projects that will take place over the next 48 hours. Come prepared with your thoughts and be sure to link to the web site for categories and ideas to get your brain turning in the right direction. Sat - Sun we develop and mingle with the many sponsors who will be available at booths throughout to talk about their connection to the simulation and technology world. Booth space is still available and you can reserve your space by visiting the web site. What excites me the most about this event is the opportunity our gaming community has to show the city and the world what we are capable of doing with gaming technology. It seems as if we fight every day for respectability among the tech community and little do they know how much brilliance abounds. This event is great for students and recent graduates who want to network, add to their portfolios or create new skills. Tech business owners who have a service or product they want known. Health care providers interested in new technologies to benefit their staff and patients. Wellness coaches and advocates and anyone who wants to learn more about where health care is headed and how technology can change our daily lives in a positive way. OK, that's enough, listen to the podcast to get the full picture. If you can't see how this brings a splash of color to our local Orlando picture then give me a ring or drop me a note so we can discuss. We talk a lot about bringing and providing content to our local scene and I applaud Kelli and Kunal for actually taking the time and making the effort to actually do something for the benefit of us all. BTW - Thanks again to my Man Carlos for setting all of this up and making it happen. Be sure to check out his page for information on his CD releases and more. P.S.
