In this episode, Peter sits down with Troy Eckard, a four-decade veteran of oil and gas, to answer the question most physicians never think to ask before writing a check into this space, how do you actually tell a legitimate operator from one that isn't. Troy breaks down the real mechanics behind mineral rights and working interest, why this might be one of the best buying windows in years, and the exact red flags that should make anyone walk away immediately. If oil and gas has always felt like a black box, this episode is less about whether to invest and more about how to protect yourself if you do. Tune in! Eckard Enterprises brings this episode to you. Eckard Enterprises, LLC, is a family-owned and operated alternative investment and asset management firm, specializing in mineral rights and the U.S. energy industry.

Why are Republicans holding a convention in a midterm year? Because it costs $250,000 to sit at a table with Donald Trump. Brian Derrick reads the Dallas price list out loud and explains what the first GOP midterm convention is actually for.The Republican National Committee gathered at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on September 9 and 10 for the first midterm convention in modern American history. Trump speaks both nights. A roundtable with him runs $250,000 per person and a photo is another $88,600. JD Vance's roundtable is $75,000 with a $35,000 photo. Brian explains why holding it in Texas is the entire point, and why Republicans in competitive districts are quietly staying home.Then Rockbridge. AXIOS reported this week that the secretive donor network Vance co-founded in 2019 threw the pre-convention party in Dallas, drawing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., HUD Secretary Scott Turner, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Senator Eric Schmitt and Dallas donor Ray Washburne. Brian reads it as a preview of the 2028 campaign Vance is already building.On the legal side, two courts split on Missouri's congressional map within an hour of each other. Justice Brett Kavanaugh denied the state's emergency application, leaving the 2022 map in place for November, and then a federal judge in Missouri ruled the gerrymandered map must be used. Brian explains why Oath has been anchoring on flipping 11 House seats instead of five, and why the slow churn of the courts is still working in our favor with ballots already moving. North Carolina became the first state in the country to mail them on September 4.Also: New Hampshire picked its nominees. Chris Pappas won the Democratic Senate primary and will face former Senator John E. Sununu in November. Stefany Shaheen edged Maura Sullivan in the First Congressional District.

Dave Cohen in for Tommy Tucker. We get an update on how gas prices are looking and the state of the oil and gas industry with Eric Smith from Tulane's Institute of Energy.

Great Britain is Europe's third largest oil and gas producer, even with a commitment to a net-zero economy by 2050. A small group of climate activists is helping the UK meet that target by winning a Supreme Court decision that's blocking any new UK oil and gas projects that don't assess climate impacts. Sarah Finch of Surrey, near London led the fight against proposed oil and gas drilling in the region known as the Weald, and she's been recognized with the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize for Europe.  Also, efforts to bring back bison that once roamed the Great Plains are helping to revive Indigenous culture on lands across the US West, including in the city of Denver. And the Utah desert with its raw beauty has long been a muse for writer Terry Tempest Williams. In her 2026 book, The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary, she explores miraculous moments of grace that call for our attention, even in spaces that may at first seem unremarkable. Terry joined us for an online Living on Earth Book Club event. --  Find photos, transcripts, links to more information about these stories, and much more at the Living on Earth website, loe dot org!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Methanex is shutting down its Taranaki plant after 40 years of operation, and there's growing discussion about what this means for the energy sector and wider economy. The methanol producer is selling most of its natural gas entitlements from the first quarter, and it says continued decline in domestic natural gas, and no clear pathway to meaningful new supply means it isn't sustainable to continue operations in New Zealand. Former CEO of Methanex Bruce Aitken says Labour's decision to ban oil and gas exploration in 2018 was bad for the sector, with many companies paying the price for it now. "It's a pretty sad day in a lot of ways, but it's a consequence of one silly ideological decision." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oil and gas automation runs on royalty accounting as much as process control. Dustin Symes explains how that shapes every SCADA decision JPI Solutions makes.Canadian oil and gas is structured differently than most assume. In the US mineral rights usually sit with individuals, so custody transfer draws a hard line between upstream and midstream. In Canada the provinces hold most rights, so a producer can gather 100 wells into one plant and sell to a pipeline company there. That lands on the automation: much of the SCADA data collection exists to answer who is paying whom and how much royalty is owed. Once a well is drilled, automation might find 5 to 10 percent off nameplate, so the work protects a long production tail rather than chasing throughput.Mining behaves nothing like it. Thinner margins, $100 million capital projects, an hour long elevator ride down, underground space running 20 miles across. Those are small cities: control systems cover substations, air monitoring and lighting as well as conveyors and pumps. Mining clients want programmers on site rather than remote, and they buy for continuity: a major vendor PLC paired with their DCS, meant to last 20 years. Horizontal drilling has rescaled oil and gas, from one well and a dozen sensors to a 32 well pad carrying 300 IO, pushing designs toward redundant PLCs and ring networks. The genuinely new technology lands on the data layer, where MQTT and report by exception are displacing polled Modbus.Dustin set two gates before his first hire: enough cash banked to make that person whole for a month or two, and enough overload to have work worth delegating. He hired out of the instrumentation program at SAIT rather than a 15 year instrument mechanic. When he weighed taking on partners, dozens of people advised against it. He brought in Dan and Brent Lawther anyway in 2018, went from five people that spring to ten by the fall, and says JPI would not exist without them.His hardest won lesson is unglamorous. Communication is the only consistent complaint he has ever had from a customer. Nobody complains about the code. They complain that nobody told them it was finished. On AI, JPI is decompiling Rockwell files into shutdown keys and landing 85 to 90 percent of the way there on a good prompt, and running log analysis across FactoryTalk directory, HMI and historian logs to find real root causes. He expects PLC code to become text so it can be version controlled like software, and customers to treat that as baseline within five years.About Dustin SymesDustin Symes is Chief Technology Officer at JPI Solutions, a Calgary based systems integrator serving oil and gas and mining clients across North America from four offices in Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan. A Red Seal journeyman electrician who moved into automation, he founded JPI in 2017. JPI covers process control from the sensor to the HMI, then up into SCADA and corporate data.https://www.jpisolutions.caTimestamps0:00 Introduction5:50 Why he started JPI Solutions10:50 Oil and gas primer: upstream, midstream, downstream12:50 What makes mining automation different16:10 Where JPI sits in the automation stack28:30 Bigger well pads, redundant PLCs and MQTT41:20 Bringing on partners when nobody recommended it51:10 Communication as the only consistent complaint1:04:40 The future of integration, AI and knowledge graphsReferencesRadical Candor by Kim Scott: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Candor-Kick-Ass-Without-Humanity/dp/1250103509Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull: https://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Inc-Overcoming-Unseen-Inspiration/dp/0812993012ThredCloud: https://www.thredcloud.comAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

High-income earners don't have to look poor to be rich. In this episode, Dr. Preston Cherry pushes back on the "look poor to get rich" trope and unpacks why it's overused, overstated, and often rooted in shame-based spending advice.If your money, values, and plan are aligned, you should be able to spend in ways that reflect who you are without guilt or explanation. Dr. Cherry traces where the "look poor" mindset came from, why frugality only works when it matches your personality and values instead of becoming a moral performance, and why chronically underliving your means can quietly become its own form of financial and emotional harm, one that often surfaces later in retirement when people can't turn off the savings switch.He separates spending to impress others from intentional spending that supports identity and well-being, and reframes the real question from "Can I afford this?" to "Does this support who I am and my plan?" Aligned spending isn't about the dollar amount. It's about whether your money reflects your actual values.Not sure if you have the financial flexibility to choose what's next?

Digital innovations are creating huge value for oil and gas, but digital landscape is setting the industry up for problems down the track.  Think of them as digital time bombs. Quantum computing will expose encrypted data that companies believe is safely protected. Legacy on-premise software is fast becoming difficult and costy to support as investment capital moves elsewhere. And the industry's shrinking talent pipeline will leave companies without enough people, particularly people with the digital skills needed to replace retiring workers. In this episode, I look at four digital time bombs facing oil and gas: decrypting stolen data, hacking live business communications, aging software, and the shrinking talent pool. The exact timing of these problems is uncertain, but that's the nature of a time bomb. Companies that recognize them early still have time to mitigate the impacts, or perhaps defuse them entirely. ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources:

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Ted Oakley to the show. Ted Oakley is Founder and Managing Partner | Oxbow Advisors. The discussion explores investment strategy, focusing on long-term holdings, hard assets, and contrarian opportunities. Oakley emphasizes the importance of a longer investment horizon, typically holding stocks for three to ten years, while acknowledging that most traders focus on short-term moves, often using leverage and options—which he views as risky. He notes that his firm recently bought back gold, silver, and mining stocks after significant corrections, considering them cheap on a cash flow basis, and continues to hold energy positions. Oakley expresses caution regarding certain AI-driven tech companies, citing concerns about debt levels, earnings quality, and the sustainability of current growth. He sees parallels to the late 1990s and the potential for revaluation if commercial viability falters. He advocates maintaining liquidity to seize opportunities during market dislocations, often holding substantial short-term treasuries alongside gold as a currency hedge against dollar depreciation and long-term inflationary pressures from rising government debt and deficits. The conversation turns to gold, with Oakley viewing the recent pullback to around $4,000 as a buying opportunity for those with a multi-year outlook, expecting much higher prices driven by central bank purchases and de-dollarization trends. He sees gold miners and royalty companies as undervalued, noting strong balance sheets and wide profit margins relative to extraction costs. Silver is also considered attractive, though more volatile. On energy, Oakley highlights the sector's profitability even at moderate oil prices and the structural supply constraints from underinvestment. He recommends a diversified approach across producers, pipelines, and service companies, focusing on quality names bought at a discount to intrinsic value. He also discusses critical minerals and iron ore as part of a broader hard asset strategy to protect against currency debasement.

Doomberg stops by, and we solve the global oil crisis. We did not really solve the world's oil problems, but boy, we sure covered them.In this Energy Newsbeat podcast episode, hosts Stu Turley and Doomberg dive deep into the interconnected crises reshaping global energy markets and geopolitics. From contested claims about oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz to Putin's stranglehold on European natural gas supplies, the conversation reveals how misinformation, geopolitical brinkmanship, and exponential technological change are colliding to create unprecedented uncertainty.Against this backdrop of energy scarcity and conflict, the hosts explore how artificial intelligence is driving explosive new demand for power, forcing a reckoning between renewable energy mandates and grid reliability. Through sharp analysis and candid debate, they argue that understanding energy flows—and who controls them—is essential to predicting everything from European political upheaval to the viability of AI infrastructure investments. It's a masterclass in connecting the dots between commodity markets, military strategy, and the future of human civilization.Check out Doomberg.com https://newsletter.doomberg.com/Shout-out to Dave, one of our great subscribers, for commenting on the live feed.1. Global Oil Markets & The Strait of HormuzThe hosts debate conflicting information about oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, with Chris Wright (Secretary of Energy) claiming 9 million barrels per day are flowing through. They discuss how market prices haven't responded as expected, suggesting either the market is efficiently pricing in a long-term U.S. siege against Iran, or there's misinformation in circulation. The conversation emphasizes that pipelines are being built to bypass the strait, making it increasingly irrelevant.2. Houthi Attacks & Alternative Shipping RoutesDiscussion of Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Bab el-Mandab Strait, reducing flow to less than 1 million barrels per day. They note the phrase "Houthis in the blow ships" and question whether reported attacks are actually occurring or if misinformation is prevalent.3. Ukraine War & European Energy CrisisA major focus is an upcoming Doomberg article about how Putin controls Europe's energy future through natural gas. Key points include:Ukraine's loss of the air war and closing of the Black Sea port of OdessaEurope's dangerous dependency on Russian natural gas (4.5 BCF/day through Turkstream)European gas storage at only 59% capacity (vs. 83% in 2023)If Russia cuts off gas supplies, Europe could lose 40% of its storage capacityThe precarious position of European leadership (Ursula von der Leyen, Macron, Mertz) who may need to be replaced for political solutions4. Turkey's Strategic PositionTurkey's role as a NATO member while maintaining relationships with Russia and Iran, controlling the Turkish Straits, and serving as a potential energy hub between the Middle East and Europe. Discussion of Erdogan's health and political stability.5. U.S. Grid Reliability & Data Center DemandJPMorgan's warnings about rolling blackouts driven by:Accelerating AI demandForced installation of intermittent renewablesData centers requiring massive powerComparison between Texas (abundant natural gas, allowing data center growth) and New York (restrictive policies)The concept of "natural gas pods"—data centers with gas input and data output6. AI & Exponential GrowthA philosophical discussion on:Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" and exponential technological growthAI model doubling time shrinking to approximately 3 months (trending toward daily improvements)The "human endeavor is infinite compute" as a strong predictive mental modelComparison to the Weimar hyperinflation period to illustrate the power of exponential trendsWhy skepticism about AI data center ROI is misplaced, similar to early shale gas skepticism7. Liberty Energy & Shale Gas in AustraliaBrief mention of Liberty Energy's expansion into Australian shale gas drilling, presented as a "tell" of emerging opportunities.8. Upcoming Doomberg ContentAnnouncement of a company deep dive on Chevron, examining its global operations, business model, and various investment exposure options.The podcast emphasizes how interconnected global energy markets are and how geopolitical decisions (particularly Putin's control of energy supplies) have cascading effects on everything from European stability to U.S. grid reliability and AI infrastructure development.The podcast has rolled over 3 million podcast listens on Apple and Spotify, and Doomberg's last episode was well over 110K - let's see how this one does.

Joseph Sternberg criticizes Prime Minister Andy Burnham's economic policy as ineffective against the cost-of-living crisis. Sternberg argues that the UK is trapped by net-zero regulations that prevent the use of vast North Sea oil and gas reserves. Burnham finds it politically difficult to cut taxes or reverse climate policies despite potential economic benefits. This paralysis makes his government a target for future replacement. (13)1521

The pre-election promises are coming thick and fast. One of the latest, from New Zealand First would see a $1 billion investment to survey the country's offshore basins for oil and gas supplies. The aim is to shore up domestic fuel supply. It's a pretty large chunk of change and it's not the only big number being thrown around on this issue so we wanted to know how realistic it is. University of Canterbury civil engineering professor David Dempsey chats to Jesse.

New Zealand First wants to invest in surveying the country's offshore basins for oil and gas supplies to use domestically and export around the world. Winston Peters announced the new policy at the party's annual convention in South Auckland. Political reporter Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira reports.

God breathes life into creation while great leaders breathe knowledge, courage, opportunity, and human flourishing into our people and industry. For 64 years, Marvin Meshack has not merely witness the history of oil and gas and energy, helped write it and improved our success. I'm extremely honored to sit with Marvin, Ryan Sanders, and Josh McCollom for this conversation with a living legend. Marvin began working in the Halliburton laboratories in Duncan, Oklahoma, in 1962. He spent 36 years studying, testing, and improving the chemistry field crews depended upon. Before computers, digital frac vans, or one person controlled an entire spread from a screen, calculations were done by hand. Men stood at pumps in brutal weather, shifting gears, throttling engines, and operating equipment in the open. Guar and cellulose gels could lump enough to require screens. Early crosslinked systems improved through pressure, patience, problems, and the occasional batch that looked more like Braum's shakes than frac fluid. Marvin watched horsepower multiply, chemistry mature, acidizing advance, horizontal drilling unlock formations once considered uneconomic, and an industry repeatedly predicted to disappear keep finding new ways to produce energy. Yet the most powerful chemistry in the room was not mixed in a blender. The margarita chemistry came later. The real chemistry was the bond between experience, humility, friendship, faithfulness, and honor. Ryan and Josh shared how they called Marvin when a fluid system would not cooperate. Within minutes, he could ask the right questions, isolate the issue, and help a crew finish the job. Marvin never guarded what he knew. He shared his research, wisdom, and field experience so others could succeed. Nearly 89, still working, and married for 67 years, Marvin never claimed the credit alone. He pointed to the mentors, chemists, engineers, field crews, friends, and family who carried the work with him. One sentence captured his character and perhaps the culture our industry needs most: “If you have a problem, we all have a problem.” That may be the most important formula he shared. This episode explores chemistry, completions, energy, mentorship, marriage, and the future of oil and gas. But it is more than a technical conversation. It is an archive, a classroom, a thank you, and a reminder that progress has parents. Few conversations have made me feel the weight of our industry's history quite like this one. Thanks to all who helped build our industry we're fortunate enough to inherit. Share this!
