Podcasts about oil and gas

Ever wondered what really goes into keeping oilfield workers safe? We put an HSE specialist on the spot with all the “dumb” questions, like what happens if there's H2S in the air, or whether bison herds are actually a thing on site. David Valerio from DNOW breaks down safety in plain English, mixing serious insight with plenty of laughs. From OSHA rules and environmental compliance to the realities of working in the freezing North Dakota fields, he explains how safety shapes everything in oil and gas. It's part education, part storytelling, and totally eye-opening for anyone curious about how the industry protects its people and the planet.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Will Gen Z wake up before it's too late? Everyone's talking about climate change, clean energy, and saving the planet — but almost nobody's asking the hard question: What happens when Gen Z tries to build a future without fossil fuels? In this episode, Brian Nichols dives straight into the uncomfortable truth: our modern world — from your iPhone to AI — still runs on oil, gas, and coal. So what happens when an entire generation wants to pull the plug? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS This conversation with Alex Rosado cuts through the emotion and gets to the facts. How much does fossil fuel production actually fund America's schools, jobs, and state economies? What would really happen if we phased it all out tomorrow? And why are so many young people buying into a fantasy that could collapse our economy overnight? Brian and Alex unpack the data behind Gen Z's growing energy disconnect — exposing the real costs of an anti-fossil-fuel mindset. From college endowments to government funding, fossil fuels fuel everything. They also explore how nuclear power could bridge the gap and give America a shot at a cleaner but realistic future. This episode doesn't just challenge Gen Z — it challenges everyone who's been sold the illusion that “green” means “free.” Because without fossil fuels (or nuclear power), the lights literally go out. And as AI ramps up global energy demand, America's refusal to expand its energy portfolio could hand China a permanent upper hand. If you care about America's future — or just want to understand how energy, economy, and freedom are connected — this is an episode you can't skip.

Refracs might sound like something out of an engineer's fever dream, but Bob Barba makes it surprisingly simple and honestly, kind of fascinating. He breaks down how giving old wells a “second frack” can unlock massive untapped potential, boost production, and make better use of what's already in the ground. Jacob and Julie throw their usual mix of curious (and occasionally dumb) questions his way, and Bob answers them all with patience, clarity, and a few laughs. It's a fresh, no-BS look at how refracs are changing the energy game, one well at a time.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Oil and gas operations rely on heavy machinery and equipment that perform critical tasks, yet most of this equipment remains disconnected from the digital landscape of cloud computing, analytics, and autonomy. This lack of connectivity leaves operators with higher costs, inefficient maintenance, and limited visibility into how their assets are really performing. The traditional approach to equipment design is no longer enough. Operators face pressure to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and cut costs, but without better data and smarter tools, these goals remain out of reach. The industry cannot afford to keep treating its infrastructure as “dumb metal.” You might think that only big equipment suppliers can make smart metal, but IJACK, a Canadian equipment manufacturer, is proving otherwise. By embedding remote monitoring, cloud connectivity, and AI-driven analytics into its products, the company enables operators to troubleshoot issues without rolling a truck, optimize performance across entire fleets, and gain valuable insight from real-time data. In this episode, I speak with Dan McCarthy, President of IJACK, about how his team transformed compressors and pumps into intelligent assets, why the industry needs to embrace innovation, and how a small-town company from Saskatchewan is now serving customers around the world.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ross Compton, Senior Director of Global Policy at EnerGeo Alliance, about a new report highlighting how a thriving upstream oil and gas sector could inject up to R23 billion into South Africa’s GDP each year and create more than 20,000 jobs from projects like Block 11B/12B alone. Compton contrasts this with Namibia’s success, saying South Africa’s unclear regulations and frequent legal challenges deter investment, while countries like Namibia, Suriname and Ghana are reaping the rewards of regulatory certainty and investor-friendly policies.

AI and Bitcoin mining's gotten a bad rap when it comes to power use, but what if it's actually helping reshape the grid? We sat down with Haley Juarez from Pioneer Miner to unpack how mining, AI, and high-performance computing are shaking up energy demand and what that means for grids like ERCOT and MISO. From nuclear to hydrogen, vertical farming to smart thermostats, this conversation connects all the dots between tech, energy, and the way we power our lives. It's a laid-back, surprisingly fun chat that makes sense of one of the most misunderstood corners of the energy world.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

HEADLINE: Russian Oil and Gas Revenue Squeezed as Prices Drop, Turkey Shifts to US LNG, and China Delays Pipeline GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Michael Bernstam about Russia facing severe budget pressure due to declining oil prices projected to reach $40 per barrel for Russian oil and global oil surplus. Turkey, a major buyer, is abandoning Russian natural gas after signing a 20-year LNG contract with the US. Russia refuses Indian rupee payments, demanding Chinese renminbi, which India lacks. China has stalled the major Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline project indefinitely. Russia utilizes stablecoin and Bitcoin via Central Asian banks to circumvent payment sanctions. 1910 BAKU

Scheduling in oil and gas has long been a weak link. Wells, rigs, frack crews, contractors, and regulators must all line up in precise sequence, but too often the “system” is stitched together with Excel spreadsheets, siloed tools, and a lot of human memory. The result is inefficiencies, costly delays, and endless arguments in daily meetings. That model is no longer good enough. The complexity of modern operations, coupled with volatile markets and new constraints (from labor shortages to tariffs to water management) is making traditional scheduling tools obsolete. Operators that rely on outdated approaches risk losing millions in wasted time and missed opportunities. Spying this problem years ago, Actenum, an AI-enabled scheduling platform that treats scheduling not as a collection of dates, but as a living model of operations, set out to correct this problem. The tool captures constraints, integrates with systems of record, forecasts production, and enables scenario planning, in real time. Companies report faster well delivery, reduced conflicts, smarter forecasting, and millions in direct savings. In this episode, I speak with Owen Plowman, Vice President of Business Development at Actenum, about how smarter scheduling is reshaping oil and gas. We cover real-world client stories, cultural shifts inside organizations, and how AI is opening new optimization opportuntities in planning, turnarounds, and offshore logistics.

In Uganda's Albertine region, a dream is getting closer to reality.The first commercial oil drop is expected in 2026, after two decades of the making.But as the rigs dig into wells, and pipelines are installed through rural communities, a global climate clock is ticking. 

Coring is one of those parts of energy that doesn't get much spotlight but makes everything else possible. Courtney Rubin from Baker Hughes breaks it down in a way that's easy to follow, showing how pulling rock samples tells us what's really happening underground and why that matters for oil, gas, and even the future of energy. From wildcat wells to offshore rigs, she shares stories from the field, what actually happens to those cores once they're out, and how new tech like AI is starting to change the process. It's a mix of science, real-world experience, and plenty of “oh wow” moments you don't usually hear about.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

"Every three years the political goalposts move". Indeed, we call it an election. But the quote is from the infrastructure industry. Their report out this week tells you the usual tale – that the pipeline, or lack of it, is an issue and politics gets in the way. It holds the country back. The Treasury report we featured this week as well tells pretty much the same story. Their report spanned out over 40 years and talks of the fear that our debt will be at 200% of GDP if we don't do something about it. We have a lot of big picture issues that we know are issues and yet we haven't been able to crack them. To be fair this Government has tried the big picture talk. They've announced a pretty decent pipeline of longer-term work and they have cited various countries that have a greater level of political cooperation than we do. Certain sectors and projects are handled by independent bodies that operate between Governments; a project is agreed to and that project is not interfered with if a government changes. This week's example gave little hope that we have the maturity to try and change the way we continue to shoot ourselves in the collective foot. Luxon wrote to Hipkins about oil and gas exploration inquiring as to whether we can get cross party agreement. The problem is that although exploration and applications are back open and we have $200 million of taxpayer money to get skin in the game, the fear is that no one is signing up if you don't know the rules stay the same. Hipkins said the letter was desperate, so that's that then. Which is a shame and Hipkins should know better, act better, and ask himself whether he serves the country well with such a myopic response. No one is really a fan of oil and gas, but surely, we all agree it's a big help between now and whenever all the windmills, solar panels and batteries are up and running. Does he really prefer coal? Can he not see that keeping the lights on is kind of important? Can he not be a bigger person about it? America is closed down currently because the two sides hate each other. We aren't as bad, but we could be an awful lot better. Surely it can't be so hard to put common, economic interest beyond simple, party politics? Surely two major so-called centre parties can't be so far apart that a basic like power supply can't be dealt with in a civil and collegial way, right?

Philip Reed, better known as the "OFS Finance Guy," isn't afraid to tell it like it is when it comes to money in the oilfield. Between explaining invoice factoring in plain English, sharing war stories about sketchy collections, and breaking down why AR headaches can make or break a company, he had us laughing and learning the whole way through. His path from Michigan to Texas is full of detours, lessons, and mustache-worthy moments that give a raw look at how OFS companies actually stay alive. We got into startups, Midland love-hate stories, and why finance in this industry is equal parts strategy and survival.

Oil and gas exploration applications have reopened for the first time since the 2018 ban. Companies can now apply for new prospecting and exploration permits anywhere in the country - not just onshore Taranaki. An open market application pathway's also being introduced to allocate new permits, in addition to the current competitive tender process. Energy Resources Aotearoa chief executive John Carnegie says there's concerns among investors about the ongoing certainty of this, given the backlash from the opposition.

Water is the unsung workhorse of the oil and gas industry. It's instrumental for generating steam, driving b, lubricating drill bits, flooding reservoirs, and separating oil from oil sands. Historically it's been cheap, plentiful, and overlooked. As climate pressures mount and scarcity becomes real, water is now emerging as one of the industry's most critical resources. Water isn't just another utility, like power. It's a highly interconnected system. A quick fix in one unit can cause downstream failures, regulatory breaches, or environmental harm. Unlike power, water can be reused. Companies are now wise to the fact that traditional, siloed approaches to water management no longer work. One solution lies in building holistic, site-wide digital twins of water systems. These models bring together flows, chemistry, capacity, compliance, and infrastructure data into one view, enabling operators to troubleshoot more effectively, run “what if” scenarios, and align operations with ESG commitments. In this episode, I speak with Gil Maron, a project engineer with FTD Solutions, about his journey from refinery process engineer to water management specialist, why water is local and unique to every site, and how digital twins are helping oil and gas companies cut costs, meet sustainability goals, and avoid costly mistakes.

Today, POLITICO Energy host Josh Siegel sits down for an extended interview with Mike Sommers, CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, to discuss the state of the U.S. oil and gas under President Donald Trump's energy dominance agenda. The industry has secured policy wins like tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and expanded lease sales, but it faces short-term challenges like low prices, layoffs, tariffs, and climate lawsuits. They discuss what's been accomplished under Trump 2.0 and what still needs to get done.  Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of POLITICO Energy.  Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.   Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.   Ben Lefebvre is the deputy energy editor at POLITICO.  Matt Daily is the energy editor for POLITICO.    For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch    And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro: https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy    Our theme music is by Pran Bandi.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this conversation, Kurt Abraham, Editor-in-Chief, World Oil, interviews Alex Kemp, Professor of Petroleum Economics and Director of the Aberdeen Center for Research in Energy Economics and Finance, University of Aberdeen, about the current state of the oil and gas industry in the UK, particularly focusing on the North Sea. They discuss the contrasting views on energy policies, the impact of the windfall tax, and the challenges of declining production and job losses in the sector. Kemp emphasizes the need for regulatory changes and incentives to revitalize the industry and address the significant decline in production and investment.

Well control is one of those topics that sounds super technical, but it's basically about keeping a well safe and under control when you're drilling. Dana Varisco and Ryan Hays from Well Control School explain it in a way that makes sense, even if you're not living on a rig every day. We cover why blowout preventers are such a big deal, how teamwork makes all the difference when pressure spikes, and how today's training and tech are shaping safer, smarter operations. Think of it as the ultimate mix of safety, science, and staying calm under pressure, with plenty of real-world stories to bring it to life. Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Sean Kelley knows that digital tools aren't just shiny add-ons, they're the backbone of how energy companies can work smarter and faster. In this conversation, Jacob and Julie dig into the real ways technology is cutting inefficiencies, like replacing clunky paper forms with sleek digital systems or using AI to help leaders make decisions with confidence. Sean doesn't sugarcoat the challenges either, touching on change management, centralizing data, and the sometimes-messy process of getting everyone on board with new tools. Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, practical examples, and insights that'll make you think differently about where energy and tech intersect and maybe even how you could clean up inefficiencies in your own world.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

On Monday's show: Houston-based oil and gas giant ConocoPhillips announced last week that it is cutting about 3,000 jobs -- as much as a quarter of its global workforce. The company says rising costs and a push for efficiency are behind the move, which comes despite the company posting nearly $2 billion in profits last quarter. We talk over what the news means for Houston.Also this hour: On the 125th anniversary of the deadliest natural disaster in American history, the 1900 Galveston hurricane, we reflect on that disaster led to the construction of the Galveston seawall and how it protects the island from storm surge more than a century later. Over the weekend, the seawall was awarded the world record for longest continuous walkway. Then, Meg Tapp from the Garden Club of Houston answers listeners' gardening questions.And the Texans dropped their season opener to the Rams on Sunday. We recap the game with Jeff Balke, co-host of the Bleav in Astros podcast..

Alberta's oilsands have come a long way from the early days of resource-heavy open-pit mines, when they became the poster child for environmentalist opposition. Today, new technologies, lower costs, and shifting ownership have reshaped both the industry's footprint and its role in Canada's economy. Alberta Edge host Ryan Hastman sits down with former energy executive Will Lacey to trace that transformation—from the viral moment he was told to remove his “I ♥ Canadian Oil & Gas” shirt on Parliament Hill, to the growing Canadianization of the sector, and the political forces that continue to shape its future.   This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch wants to end Labour's ban on new oil and gas licences and make North Sea oil and gas a "cornerstone" of the economy.   But what would that mean for net-zero targets?     Kamali Melbourne is joined by our business correspondent Paul Kelso, who breaks down the economic impact it could have, while industry expert Professor Paul de Leeuw tells us how the sector has reacted to the announcement in Aberdeen.  Producer: Soila Apparicio  Editor: Mike Bovill 

Spreadsheets, SCADA systems, terabytes of old data, and a surprising amount of laughter, this one has it all. Jacob and Julie sat down with Bobby Neelon from Drill Down Analytics to finally ask the “dumb” questions most people are too shy to bring up about energy, oil and gas, and the mysterious world of data. Bobby breaks down how companies actually deal with messy files (yes, even those dusty paper records), why AI and machine learning are shaking up the industry, and what makes tools like Power BI, Spotfire, Snowflake, and Databricks different without getting lost in jargon. Along the way, we swap stories about the ridiculous challenges of working in spreadsheets, the quirks of SCADA, and what it means to move everything into the cloud. Whether you're brand new to energy or secretly love a good data puzzle, this episode makes the complicated stuff easy, and pretty fun too.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

POLIS HATES OIL AND GAS AND IS INTENT ON DESTROYING THAT PART OF OUR ECONOMY And the Rocky Mountain Voice has been doing a series on just how much he hates it and just how much damage has been done to our industry here because of it. Rocky Mountain Voice editor Jen Schumann joins me at 1 to talk about the series of article, which you can find here, and here, and here. The damage is far worse that you might already think, and he does not care how much our power bills are because he's rich. Too bad the rest of us aren't. The long and short of it is that Polis has empowered ordered a few agencies to go after small oil and gas producers. It makes sense, as the bigger oil and gas companies would have already filed the federal lawsuit that one smaller provider is now pursuing. Put the little guys out of business and it's easier to deal with the big ones I guess. I'm very interested to see how this federal lawsuit pan out, but this is absolute abuse of government power and it's all being done at the behest of the Governor. I've got Rocky Mountain Voice Editor Jen Schumann on today to talk about it at 1.

Ed chats with Jason Walsh, Executive Director of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA).Jason and his organization recently made headlines for opposing the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act—President Trump's sweeping piece of legislation passed this summer that rolls back many of the clean energy tax credits introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act. While a lot of the climate world focused on the emissions impacts, BGA came out swinging over what they saw as a quiet gutting of labour standards, domestic manufacturing momentum, and the link between public investment and good jobs.Jason and Ed discuss:How the bill reshapes the clean energy landscape Whether it really neuters domestic content rules Politics of climate and labour in an increasingly polarized U.S. And what political durability looks like for climate policy heading into 2026About Our Guest:Jason Walsh is the Executive Director of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA). Named one of the Washington D.C.'s 500 Most Influential People by the Washingtonian, Walsh has more than twenty-five years of experience at state and federal levels in policy development and advocacy in a range of issue areas—including climate, clean energy, and economic and workforce development—and as a coalition organizer and manager.Walsh previously served in the Obama administration, as the Director of the Office of Strategic Programs in the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and as a Senior Policy Advisor in the White House Domestic Policy Council, where he led Obama administration's efforts to align and scale up federal investments in workers and communities impacted by the shift away from coal in the power sector.Send us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Produced by Amit Tandon & Bespoke Podcasts ___Energy vs Climate Podcastwww.energyvsclimate.com Contact us at info@energyvsclimate.com Bluesky | YouTube | LinkedIn | X/Twitter

PREVIEW: CANADA OIL: Colleague Conrad Black reminds me that the unbuilt pipeline can carry Canadian oil and gas to Montreal, not just EU. More to come. 1851 TORONTO

In February this year BP announced it was cutting its investment in green energy ventures from $5B to $2B while reallocating $10B to fossil fuels, and abandoning its 2030 oil output reduction target. Shell has also scrapped its planned 20% carbon reduction cut for 2030. It's not a good display of intent from the perspective of the energy transition. In a highly volatile and uncertain policy environment it's troubling for investors and clean energy developers. The prioritisation of short-term profit at the expense of long-term climate impact has many implications.To find out, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by private investor Ben Dell, Managing Partner at Kimmeridge. He says that while “everyone wants low-cost energy on demand with a minimal carbon footprint, every dollar invested has to be cost-competitive. Philanthropy is not an investing strategy.” What does that mean in the context of clean energy deployment?Plus, Wood Mac analyst Tom Ellacott joins the show to look at the outlook for oil and gas in light of the news from the majors. As he sees it, gas is a growth fuel for the next 20 - 30 years and the most optimal power delivery system is still renewables paired with small-scale batteries and natural gas. So why are major energy providers flip-flopping with their strategies when this is widely accepted?The key questions are: how are oil and gas majors adjusting their capital allocation between fossil fuels and renewables? What's the role of natural gas in the transition? And how should investors navigate volatility and uncertainty in energy markets? You'll get the answers here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Houston, long seen as the beating heart of the U.S. oil industry, is now grappling with a commercial real estate crisis. Office vacancies have surged to nearly 28%, driven by massive energy sector consolidation and changing workplace dynamics. Despite Trump's calls to ramp up drilling, oil companies are becoming leaner, shedding jobs—and office space—in the process. This script explores how a wave of corporate mergers, surging insurance costs, outdated buildings, and Houston's sprawling development model are leaving once-prized office towers empty. Investors, take note: Houston's energy-fueled boom may be shifting to a more space-efficient era. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
