C'est le nouveau casse-tête du marché du gaz : la Chine, première consommatrice d'hydrocarbures, achète moins de gaz sur le marché international et cherche à en produire de plus en plus sur son territoire. Un changement de stratégie qui n'est pas sans conséquence pour le secteur. Cette tendance se traduit par une réduction des importations de gaz par voie maritime. Sur les deux premiers mois de l'année, ces achats ont atteint leur plus bas niveau depuis sept ans et pour le Premier trimestre, on se dirige vers une baisse de 20 %. La tendance est si forte que plusieurs cabinets d'analyse ont baissé les prévisions d'achats de la Chine pour 2025.La première explication est que la demande a diminué, mais aussi que le pays s'approvisionne autrement : l'Empire du Milieu importe plus de gaz par pipeline de Russie et du Kazakhstan et la production locale chinoise est en hausse, + 6 % l'année dernière. Les géants chinois des hydrocarbures tels que Sinopec et Cnooc ont relevé leurs objectifs de production de gaz. Le gaz représente désormais 54 % de la production de Petrochina, selon l'agence Bloomberg. Les équilibres du marché en questionExxon Mobil, Shell ou TotalEnergies avaient tablé ces dernières années sur une croissance de la demande chinoise pendant des décennies. « En 2024 encore, la Chine représentait à elle seule plus d'un quart de la croissance de la demande mondiale de gaz », explique Greg Molnar, l'expert en gaz de l'Agence internationale de l'Énergie (AIE).Ces compagnies pétrolières internationales ont investi des milliards de dollars dans des projets de GNL aux États-Unis et au Qatar avec l'objectif d'augmenter la capacité de production de 50 % dans les cinq prochaines années. Le ralentissement des achats chinois sème dorénavant le doute sur le rôle que jouera la Chine dans les prochains mois dans la croissance du marché et sur l'état de la demande chinoise. D'autant que le pays a considérablement réduit aussi ses achats pour une livraison immédiate, mais privilégie désormais des contrats de GNL à long terme, indexés sur le pétrole, « ce qui met en évidence la relative conscience des prix des acheteurs chinois », relève l'expert de l'AIE. Les Européens peuvent-ils en profiter ?À court terme, cette situation pourrait faire l'affaire des Européens, qui sont en concurrence avec l'Empire du Milieu pour acheter du GNL. Moins de bateaux qui partent vers la Chine, c'est plus de volumes disponibles pour l'Europe, et peut-être à meilleur prix.Un atout de taille pour les acheteurs européens qui ont vidé leur stock ces derniers mois et vont devoir le reconstituer avant l'hiver prochain. Les importations de GNL en Europe occidentale ont d'ailleurs atteint leur plus haut niveau pour un mois de mars, jamais enregistré depuis 2017, selon les données de suivi des navires compilées par Bloomberg.Autre conséquence, la demande actuelle et la moindre croissance de la demande chinoise pousse « de nombreux acheteurs chinois à renforcer leurs capacités de négoce et à revendre leurs cargaisons de GNL à d'autres marchés, qui sont prêts à payer une prime dans les conditions de marché tendues actuelles », note Greg Molnar. À lire aussiLa Chine compte sur ses découvertes de gaz «sans précédent» dans la course aux technologies

Le transport de gaz naturel liquéfié en pleine crise : les commandes de navires ont explosé ces dernières années, mais les échanges commerciaux n'ont pas suivi la même courbe. Cette surcapacité a fait sombrer les coûts de ces méthaniers.  Le nombre de navires en circuit ou en construction est affolant : en plus des 650 méthaniers en service l'année passée, 68 ont complété la flotte en 2024, et le rythme de mises sur le marché va encore s'accélérer jusqu'en 2027. « Plus de 50% de la flotte de GNL est encore sur des bons de commandes », résume un expert. Le décalage est aujourd'hui si grand entre la flotte et le marché du gaz naturel liquéfié que certains analystes annoncent un hiver aux allures de « fiasco ».L'appétit des constructeurs a été aiguisé d'abord par les taux de fret très hauts de ces dernières années. Le début de la guerre en Ukraine a ensuite poussé les armateurs à multiplier les commandes de transporteurs de GNL pour pallier le manque de gaz naturel russe qui n'arriverait plus en Europe.Or le développement des terminaux de GNL a pris du retard et les volumes commercialisables ne sont pas au rendez-vous : les quantités exportées cette année n'auraient augmenté que de 1%, contrairement à une croissance de 6 à 8% les dernières années. En parallèle, la demande européenne a été plus basse que prévu, en raison de stocks confortables et d'un hiver passé relativement doux.Les plus vieux « perdent beaucoup d'argent »Les mois qui viennent s'annoncent difficiles pour certaines sociétés, avec des navires qui sont mis au chômage technique et d'autres dont les marges bénéficiaires deviennent négatives. Car les taux de fret se sont effondrés et sont passés sous les coûts de fonctionnement ces dernières semaines pour les plus anciens navires.Entre octobre et novembre, les tarifs spots moyens ont, par exemple, baissé de 50% pour les méthaniers équipés de turbines à vapeur, les moins efficaces donc, et la chute se poursuit encore ces jours-ci, selon les données du courtier Clarksons. « Ces bateaux-là perdent aujourd'hui beaucoup d'argent », confirme un interlocuteur, contrairement aux plus modernes qui s'en sortent mieux.Ces navires déjà techniquement obsolètes le sont aussi maintenant sur un plan économique, pour le directeur de Flex LNG société spécialisée dans le transport de GNL. Leur démolition ou leur recyclage pourrait, dans ce contexte exceptionnel, être questionné plus rapidement que prévu, dès qu'ils ne seront plus sous contrat.La dégringolade des taux de fret n'affecte pas directement les prix du GNL, qui eux évoluent en sens inverse en ce moment. Ils sont portés par le manque d'offres disponibles et par une demande en hausse en Europe. Certains opérateurs chinois bien approvisionnés ont décidé d'en profiter et revendent une partie de leur stock pour profiter des prix hauts, selon l'agence Bloomberg, qui cite des initiatives de PetroChina et de la société publique Cnooc.

Show Notes: Raymond Lei Yin moved to New York after graduating and has worked at Goldman Sachs for over 20 years, primarily in Hong Kong and Shanghai, China. He worked in China with a private fund for three and a half years and for UBS Asset Management as the Head of Asia Pacific and Head of China for the past 6 years. Now retired from UBS Asset Management, Raymond  is currently traveling around the world, visiting his parents and enjoying the outdoors. He is also looking for opportunities to get involved with communities, businesses or organizations where he can contribute his expertise. Capital Markets War Stories  Raymond shares many war stories from his time in Hong Kong, China, and the capital markets during the financial crisis. He started at Goldman Sachs in New York and eventually moved to Asia. He was a program analyst in 1992 and supported the international trading desk at Goldman. This experience was interesting, as the traders he worked with at the time were hires from Salomon Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB). He likens this time to working in a jungle where his goal was to survive each day.  Raymond's journey has been filled with challenges and opportunities, but he is now focused on pursuing his passion for learning (especially in AI) and helping other businesses to grow. Working in Equity Capital MarketsRaymond began his career in Hong Kong after realizing that the core part of Goldman's business was financial advisory and trading. He decided to look for a job outside Goldman and was about to resign when he was offered a position by a senior MD looking for a Chinese speaking analyst based in Hong Kong. He flew to London for interviews and was hired to work in equity capital markets, which he knew little about. Equity capital markets is an interesting area that straddles between investment banking and equity sales and trading. Raymond was trained by Eric Dobkin, the man who  introduced the concept of the Equity Capital Markets (ECM), which orchestrated IPOs and worked with both issuers and investors to set the price. During the Red Chip Boom in 1993, there was a huge demand for Chinese speaking bankers in Hong Kong, as there were not many Chinese bankers at that time. As the first full-time equity capital markets person based in Hong Kong, Raymond worked tirelessly to keep up with the pace of IPOs. Lesson Learned from the MarketOne lesson that Raymond learned during this time was that the market can be irrational. During the Red Chip Boom, Chinese IPOs were richly valued, due to scarcity of Chinese papers and the high demand for Chinese investments. However, since then, the market has seen several cycles of price fluctuations. To make money in the equity market, he believes that one must be a contrarian, have a long sustained power, and be liquid. In the early 90s, Hong Kong had an open market with many foreign capitals and traditional institutions representing their firms in London or New York. Goldman helped Chinese companies raise money in international capital markets through IPOs, global deposit receipts (GDRs), and convertible bonds (CBs). The Chinese government was involved in these deals, as they were selling their best assets to global investors in exchange for professional management and market discipline. The first deal was with Tsingtao Breweries, a famous beer company, and later with Shanghai Petrochemical and China Mobile and PetroChina. These companies were majority-held by the Chinese government, and Goldman had an edge in winning these deals. Goldman also worked on Korean companies like POSCO Steel and Samsung Electronics, as well as Thai and Indonesian companies. The Asian Financial Crisis The Asian financial crisis occurred in 1997, when the devaluation of the Thai Bhat and Indonesian Rupiah led to a massive attack in Hong Kong markets. For a few days, the entire HK equity market was dominated by one buyer, the Hong Kong government.  Raymond saw the government's bid for 100 million shares of Hong Kong telecom got hit within 2 seconds. This could mark the end of capital markets in Hong Kong, as the government was buying the significant part of HK equity market.  However, in hindsight this was the single best time to buy Hong Kong equities, as the Hong Kong government made a lot of money that day. In subsequent years, Goldman helped the Hong Kong government sell these stocks at a profit, returning the market to private investors.  One company Raymond worked with was PetroChina where Goldman took the company public and Raymond helped to introduce the team management to global investors. It was during the dotcom bubble era, there was ver little investor appetite for oil stocks.  Eventually, the IPO was done as a discount valuation.  Investors who bought at PetroChina IPO all made money if they hold on to their shares. From Goldman to Private Funds to UBS Asset ManagementRaymond's next move was to the buy side - a China based  private fund.  He spent three and a half years traveling between Shanghai and Hong Kong to help them set up their international operation, hire people, lease office space, get the Type 9 license, and set up their Hong Kong office. He later joined UBS Asset Management first as Head of China then later as Head of Asia Pacific.  He worked at UBS Asset Management for the past 6 years.   Influential Harvard Professors and CoursesRaymond shares that his Art History course at Harvard was one of the most useful, as it allowed him to appreciate artwork and visit museums worldwide. He also enjoyed the core course Cultural Revolution taught by Professor Roderick MacFarquar, which was not offered in China.

En entrevista con RFI, Marco Antonio Gandarillas, Director Ejecutivo del Centro de Documentación e Información de Bolivia (CEDIB), dice que las inversiones de empresas chinas en América Latina son 'rechazadas en muchos casos por la población local' y su principal problema es que 'afectan los derechos ambientales'. China se ha convertido en el segundo socio comercial de América Latina aportando una financiación de más de 140 mil millones de dólares a nueve países de la región para mega proyectos, entre otros, el Tren Maya y el megapuerto de Chancay en Perú. Pero, ¿qué hay detrás de esta relación e interés comercial?"La relación entre América Latina y Chine se ha vuelto muy vibrante. En lo que va de 2023, alrededor de siete presidentes de los países más grandes de América Latina han tenido visitas a China o se han reunido con importantes jefes, empezando por Lula en Brasil. En todos los casos se han firmado una serie de acuerdos. Brasil firmó más de 30 acuerdos nuevos con China en áreas estratégicas para Brasil y también para China", dice Marco Antonio Gandarillas, Director Ejecutivo del Centro de Documentación e Información de Bolivia (CEDIB),Varias investigaciones, entre otras, las del Colectivo sobre Financiamiento e Inversiones Chinas, Derechos Humanos y Medio Ambiente (CICDHA), señalan que estas inversiones son peligrosas para los derechos sociales y medioambientales de los países concernidos. Al menos en una decena de casos, los proyectos carecían de una licencia ambiental adecuada y afectaban a zonas protegidas."Son áreas problemáticas desde el punto de vista social y ambiental. Las empresas chinas seleccionan donde deciden invertir en la región y tienen en muchos casos el rechazo de la población local. Su principal problema es que afectan derechos ambientales", agrega Gandarillas.La falta de transparencia de muchas de estas negociaciones y ciertos oscuros acontecimientos han hecho que salten las alarmas sobre el interés de China en Latinoamérica y viceversa.El 31 de octubre de 2022 en la televisión Telemazonas de Ecuador, el periodista Fernando Villavicencio, denunció un claro caso de corrupción entre empresas chinas y el gobierno ecuatoriano en ese entonces: "Provenían desde China y ¿quién autorizó el ingreso de este acero? La empresa fiscalizadora de la familia del ministro", denunció el periodista en ese entonces. Villavicencio fue asesinado el 9 de agosto de 2023, siendo candidato a la presidencia de Ecuador.La caja de Pandora, sin embargo, ya se había abierto. Varios periodistas ecuatorianos han publicado una investigación, "Los secretos de la deuda china", en la que denuncian el caso PetroChina, corrupción, negligencias, violación de tratados ambientales y derechos humanos, pero también censura informativa."[En los contratos con las empresas chinas] hay cláusulas de confidencialidad para que los países no divulguen la información completa e integral a su población sobre sobre las condiciones del financiamiento de China", apunta Marco Antonio GandarillasLa relación entre los países de América Latina y China navega entre dos aguas. La necesidad de esos países de crecer y seguir desarrollándose y la preocupación de no poder proteger uno de sus bienes más preciados, sus recursos.

China has decided that the iPhone poses a national security risk, but banning the use of Apple's smartphone in some Chinese ministries is apparently just the first step. As Bloomberg reports, the ban is expected to expand to include employees at state-owned companies, as well as those at agencies backed by the government.The impact of such a ban could be significant for future sales of iPhones in China. For example, state-owned companies such as PetroChina employ over 500,000 people. If you scale that up to include all companies and agencies subject to the ban, it could easily see Apple lose millions of iPhone users in China this year.☎️ For Business inquiries, please go to ➡︎ show@geopoliticsinconflict.comAbout David:Dr. Oualaalou served a fifteen-year career in the United States Armed Forces in support of the US government's security agencies in Washington DC and around the world.

Visit storyrealestate.com. https://dossier.substack.com/p/the-cdc-will-vote-thursday-to-permanently?utm_source=twitter&sd=pf The CDC will vote Thursday to permanently shield Pfizer and Moderna from COVID vaccine injury liability A CDC committee will convene this week and likely vote Thursday to deliver permanent legal indemnity to Pfizer and Moderna, through the process of adding the drug companies’ mRNA injections to the child and adolescent immunization schedules. By adding the shots to the childhood schedule, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will transfer liability for vaccine injuries to the federal government’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), allowing for Pfizer and Moderna to finally bring an FDA approved shot to the market without opening itself up to lawsuits. Moreover, it will act as another windfall for companies that have already brought in hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues, by requiring these vaccinations for children who attend public schools. In March 2020, the federal government invoked the PREP Act, which gave Pfizer and Moderna a tort liability shield due to the declared “public health emergency,” which the government is reportedly going to revoke in early 2023. The companies’ emergency use authorization shots have since been protected by the federal government through this 2005 congressional action. A draft agenda published by the CDC shows what will be on the schedule for Wednesday and Thursday’s meetings. The Health Resources & Services Administration has clarified what needs to happen for a vaccine to become liability free: “For a vaccine to be covered, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) must recommend the category of vaccine for routine administration to children or pregnant women, and it must be subject to an excise tax by federal law.” The Dossier has reported extensively on the coordinated effort by Big Pharma and the Biden Administration to delay the rollout of an FDA approved COVID vaccine, with legal experts suspecting the process is in place to protect Pfizer and Moderna from legal liability from vaccine injuries. Once described as the cure to the coronavirus, the novel mRNA shots have resulted in catastrophic failure, with a side effect profile exponentially higher than advertised. Thanks to a fraudulent, deceptive marketing campaign, assisted by top federal officials and high-profile pharmaceutical executives, the drugmakers and the federal government convinced millions of Americans to take shots that were much more dangerous (especially for young men), and much less effective than advertised. Over the course of COVID Mania, Pfizer and Moderna have raked in hundreds of billions of dollars in liability free dollars, enriching their executives and board members beyond their wildest dreams. Thanks to Big Pharma’s successful regulatory capture of Government Health, and corrupt bureaucrats’ willing compliance, it looks like the mRNA drug cartel will be completely off the hook when it comes to compensating the countless Americans who were harmed by their junk products. https://www.theepochtimes.com/boston-university-defends-controversial-study-on-covid-hybrid-strain-with-80-percent-mortality-rate-in-mice_4803917.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport President Joe Biden plans to release even more barrels of oil from the federal government’s strategic reserves to keep gas prices low before the midterm elections. Biden’s latest decision marks more than 200 million barrels set for release in less than two years as president, more than all previous presidents combined according to the Wall Street Journal. Despite Biden’s historic oil releases to bring down the cost of gasoline, the OPEC+ nations announced their decision in October to cut oil production by two million barrels a day. The president expressed his disappointment with OPEC+ and Saudi Arabia’s decision, despite administration officials working behind the scenes urging them to delay their cuts until after the midterm elections. Biden recently campaigned in California where gas prices are nearly seven dollars a gallon. When asked about prices approaching seven dollars a gallon in the state, Biden replied, “Well, that’s always been the case here.” Despite gas prices rising again, Biden continues taking credit for gas prices declining from record highs in the Summer. “[A] lot of it is the result of getting the cost of living at the gas pump down by more — now even in California now — by more than a dollar nationally and — since the start of summer,” he said during a speech on Americans suffering from higher costs. https://www.dailyfetched.com/china-cuts-off-natural-gas-supplies-to-europe-just-in-time-for-winter/ China Cuts Off Natural Gas Supplies to Europe, Just in Time for Winter Communist China has told state-owned energy-importing companies to cease sending natural gas supplies to European nations already facing a catastrophic winter. According to Bloomberg, the Chinese Communist Party’s National Development and Reform Commission also told the state-owned energy giants CNOOC, PetroChina, and Sinopec to halt shipments of liquified natural gas to foreign buyers in Europe and Asia. China scooped up excess Russian gas since the war in Ukraine, as Europe faces an unprecedented energy crisis. The communist nation has managed to build up an excess of liquified natural gas amid lockdowns to comply with Beijing’s zero-Covid agenda. As Russia reduced shipments to the European Union in response to the bloc’s support of Ukraine and sanctions on Moscow, China began reselling its surplus LNG cargo to the EU at inflated prices. According to estimates, some four million tonnes of liquid natural gas was resold by China, which accounts for approximately seven percent of Europe’s imports during the same period. The Chinese government has not given a specific reason for halting the supply of natural gas supplies on the open market. However, the move could be an attempt by Xi Jinping to aid his ally Vladimir Putin in putting the squeeze on Europe at a crucial moment. Despite falling gas prices in Europe from their high in August, the European Union is still considering placing a price cap on imported LNG. Russia’s state-owned Gazprom responded by threatening to cut off all shipments to Europe, forcing the EU to reach out to countries like China selling on the international market. The EU globalists have rushed towards their green agenda and forestalled domestic energy production, specifically Germany, which banned fracking for its own natural gas in favor of cleaner alternatives. The move, however, has just left the bloc beholden to Russia to meet its energy needs and, ironically, China to meet its green goals – given that almost all solar panels are made in China. Last year, the head of the green lobbyist group, admitted: “Everybody knows what’s going on in China, and when facilities are based there, you have to accept that there’s a high possibility that forced labour will be used.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/boston-university-defends-controversial-study-on-covid-hybrid-strain-with-80-percent-mortality-rate-in-mice_4803917.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Boston University Defends Controversial Study on COVID Hybrid Strain With ’80 Percent’ Mortality Rate in Mice Boston University issued a statement Tuesday defending its research of a COVID-19 Omicron strain when they took the variant’s spike protein and attached it to the original COVID-19 strain, leading to a higher mortality rate in a certain species of mice, triggering concern among lawmakers. “The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor-binding motif… while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent,” the preprint study said. Meanwhile, Emily Erbelding, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’s division of microbiology and infectious diseases, told Stat News that the Boston University’s grant application didn’t specify that researchers wanted to perform this work and the group did not say it was performing experiments to possible enhance a COVID-19 variant. An investigation is now underway, she said. Boston University issued a lengthy statement defending its research and said critics have misrepresented the goals of the study while refuting allegations that the study involved gain-of-function research, which can make a pathogen more deadly or transmissible. “The research was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which consists of scientists as well as local community members,” the statement from Boston University said. “The Boston Public Health Commission also approved the research. Furthermore, this research mirrors and reinforces the findings of other, similar research performed by other organizations, including the FDA. Ultimately, this research will provide a public benefit by leading to better, targeted therapeutic interventions to help fight against future pandemics.” Certain reports about the study were “false and inaccurate,” Boston University official Ronald Corley said in a statement. A report from the Daily Mail, he alleged, took the “80 percent” line out of context. Club Membership Plug: Let’s stop and take a moment to talk about Fight Laugh Feast Club membership.

Now for those that never watch NASCAR, myself included, Bubba Wallace was the gentleman who claimed he found a noose in his garage at a NASCAR racetrack, a race baiting move… but it turned out to be just a regular noose used to open the garage door… anyways: During the race, Kyle Larson got loose underneath Bubba Wallace, but appeared to save the car. There does not appear to be any contact made between the two drivers at this point. However, Wallace slammed hard into the wall and bounced down the track into Larson. Larson then dived hard down into the track to avoid Wallace who chased him down the track and purposely clipped Larson in the rear quarter panel sending him spinning up the track into Christopher Bell and the outside wall.

THE THESIS: The economy is rigged from the top, down. In every facet of the business chain, The Party is distorting markets. They killed ~40% of small businesses with their deadly, medically useless, politically (and economically) targeted lockdowns, then gobbled up that customer base for themselves. They conjured $360 billion in the US and illegally used it to give to WEF aligned corporate mobsters. But, STILL, we have aspects of economic life we can control. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Matthew 6:16-18 Fasting 16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Luke 12:25-31 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[a]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. THE NEWS & COMMENT: [AUDIO] - Business plan for CEPI telegraphed what was going to happen when the forecasted pandemic hit the world.  The preparations were all set and there was a single response locked and loaded. There is no mention of therapeutics or interest in caring for sick patients or saving lives. [AUDIO] - Biden says there's a lot of "major things" he's done, he just hasn't "been able to communicate it in a way that is, uh, um..." He then starts rambling about reporters getting "clicks on the nightly news" and they cut  to commercial. [AUDIO] - Trudeau's Justice Minister David Lametti has just announced that people don't have an “absolute right to own private property” in Canada. [AUDIO] -  Kristin Zimmerman, GM Exec gets an inconvenient question about their EV: what's charging the batteries?  [AUDIO] - "One of the largest shareholders of PetroChina is none other than Blackrock. The firm is effectively saying 'ESG for thee, China for me.' That's not just bad for geopolitics, it's bad for the environment," says @VivekGRamaswamy on #ESG. "This movement fails on every problem."

La Comisión de Fiscalización y Control Político, con cinco votos afirmativos, aprobó el informe de la investigación del caso denominado “Petrochina: Deuda pública y Comercialización de petróleo”, por el cual se determina que las condiciones en las que el país paga la deuda con petróleo representarían millonarios perjuicios económicos, pues el crudo se entrega a precios inferiores a los del mercado y son las compañías asiáticas las que lo entregan a bancos y empresas privadas para una posterior reventa. Fernando Villavicencio, presidente del organismo, en su presentación del informe, indicó que “el expediente recoge 13 años de información publicada en los principales medios de comunicación del Ecuador y el mundo, así como, documentos que en su momento fueron declarados como secretos y/o reservados, de los cuales se desprende que más de 4.700 millones de dólares fueron a parar en manos de empresas intermediarias extranjeras, en perjuicio del Estado ecuatoriano”. En los antecedentes, el documento cita un señalamiento de la Contraloría General del Estado, en varios exámenes especiales, en el sentido que el crudo fue comercializado en condiciones perjudiciales para el país, sobre todo por la cláusula que estableció la fórmula para el cálculo del precio del barril y su “libre destino”. “Igualmente, el organismo de control determinó glosas por USD 174,7 millones de dólares de los Estados Unidos de América en contra de exfuncionarios de Petroecuador y las compañías asiáticas y emitió tres informes con indicios de responsabilidad penal, por entregar el crudo a precios por debajo de la cotización de mercado y firmar los contratos sin sustentos en informes técnicos”, expresó Villavicencio. La mesa legislativa recomienda, entre otros aspectos, remitir el informe a la Fiscalía General del Estado, para que investigue el presunto cometimiento de delitos, teniendo en cuenta que desde el año 2017 se encuentra aperturada la indagación previa número 08-2017 por denuncia del hoy presidente de esta Comisión. También, a la Unidad de Análisis Financiero y Económico (UAFE), a fin de que realice una investigación de los perfiles económicos-financieros, de todos los sujetos y empresas que constan en este informe. Así mismo, el documento será enviado a la Corte Constitucional para que certifique si emitieron dictamen previo de constitucional, respecto de los convenios internacionales suscritos con China para el otorgamiento de las líneas de crédito; a la Contraloría General del Estado y a la Presidencia de la República para que tenga conocimiento de los hallazgos encontrados en esta investigación. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hechosecuador/message

« Tương lai kinh tế đặt ở Trung Quốc » : Năm 2009 Cheikh Hamad ben Khalifa al Thani, cố lãnh đạo Qatar đã thấy rõ điều đó. Nhưng Doha vẫn lệ thuộc vào Hoa Kỳ về mặt an ninh để tự vệ trước những đối thủ trong khu vực như Ả Rập Xê Út hay Bahrain, Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống Nhất. Cuộc đối đầu Mỹ-Trung khiến bài toán của Doha thêm phần nan giải.   Tương tự như rất nhiều các đồng minh châu Á và châu Âu của Hoa Kỳ, chính quyền Doha rất sợ sẽ phải chọn đứng về phe nào khi đã mở rộng hợp tác với Trung Quốc về thương mại và thậm chí là cả trong lĩnh vực quân sự, nhưng an ninh lại hoàn toàn lệ thuộc vào Mỹ. Liệu Qatar có đang rời xa quỹ đạo của Mỹ để ngả vào vòng tay Trung Quốc hay không ? Chìa khóa tăng trưởng đặt tại Bắc Kinh Là một quốc gia với chưa đầy ba triệu dân, có diện tích bằng 1/3 so với Đài Loan, nhờ có dầu khí, (đem về đến hơn 60 % GDP và chiếm 85 % tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu), Qatar thiết lập được kênh đối thoại đặc biệt với Trung Quốc. Tương tự như nhiều nước trong Vịnh Ba Tư, Qatar đã trở thành một mắt xích không thể thiếu trong dự án « Một Vành Đai, Một Con Đường » của Bắc Kinh. Từ năm 2014 nhờ một hiệp định hợp tác, Trung Quốc được mời tham gia vào kế hoạch « Tầm Nhìn Quốc Gia Qatar 2030 ». Qua đó hai tập đoàn dầu khí PetroChina và Sinopec đầu tư, mở rộng các hoạt động tại mỏ khí đốt North Field của Qatar. Trả lời RFI tiếng Việt, chuyên gia về Trung Đông, Jean- Loup Samaan thuộc Đại Học Quốc Gia Singapore và Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế Pháp IFRI nhấn mạnh đến sự gắn kết càng lúc càng chặt chẽ giữa Qatar và Trung Quốc về mặt thương mại và kinh tế. Ông cũng là tác giả bài tham luận mang tựa đề Qatar trước sự kình địch Mỹ-Trung : Thế lưỡng nan của một vương quốc trong vùng Vịnh, đăng trên trang mạng của IFRI tháng 11/2021. Jean-Loup Samaan : « Thoạt đầu, trao đổi chủ yếu giới hạn trong lĩnh vực khí đốt. Doha là một trong những nguồn cung cấp quan trọng của Trung Quốc, bảo đảm khoảng 35 % nguồn khí đốt nhập khẩu của nước này. Tuy nhiên trong những năm gần đây, mậu dịch giữa Trung Quốc và Qatar, từng bước, mở rộng ra nhiều lĩnh vực. Trung Quốc đầu tư vào Qatar, một số tập đoàn của Trung Quốc tham gia vào các công trình trùng tu cơ sở hạ tầng cho quốc gia trong vùng Vịnh này, nâng cấp các hải cảng và thậm chí Hoa Vi đang trở thành một trong những đối tác chính của Qatar để xây dựng hệ thống mạng 5G ». Từ 2000 đến 2020 tổng trao đổi mậu dịch hai chiều đang từ 50 triệu đô la nhảy vọt lên tới 10 tỷ. Bên cạnh vế mậu dịch, Doha và Bắc Kinh còn thúc đẩy quan hệ trong hai lĩnh vực khác là ngoại giao và quân sự. Lãnh đạo Qatar hiện nay, Cheikh Tamim ben Hamad al Thani lên cầm quyền năm 2013 cùng lúc với chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình và ông đã hai lần công du Bắc Kinh. Hợp tác quân sự Qatar-Trung Quốc Điều cộng đồng quốc tế ít biết đến hơn là hợp tác giữa Doha với Bắc Kinh về mặt quân sự. Năm 2017 ít lâu sau khi bị các nước láng giềng là Ả Rập Xê Út, Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống Nhất và Bahrain phong tỏa với lý do Qatar bao che cho quân khủng bố, Doha đã ký kết với Bắc Kinh một thỏa thuận « chống khủng bố ». Giới quan sát coi đây là một bước ngoặt quan trọng và là một tín hiệu mạnh. Song còn quá sớm để kết luận rằng Qatar ngả về phía Trung Quốc, kể cả về quân sự. Jean-Loup Samaan : « Hợp tác quân sự giữa hai nước đã bắt đầu có, nhưng vẫn còn ở mức độ khiêm tốn và chúng ta cần căn cứ vào những số liệu để thấy rõ được điều đó. Các dịch vụ mua bán trang thiết bị quân sự giữa Trung Quốc với Qatar trong 10 năm qua ước tính lên tới khoảng hơn một trăm triệu đô la. Ít hơn rất nhiều so với hàng ngàn tỷ đô la mà Doha chi ra để mua trang thiết bị quân sự của Mỹ hay của Pháp và thậm chí là cả của Nga. Ngay cả hợp tác với Nga cũng quan trọng hơn nhiều so với đối tác Trung Quốc trong lĩnh vực này. Tuy nhiên một số yếu tố khiến Washington không được thoải mái. Ví dụ như hồi năm 2017 chính quyền Doha đã phô trương tên lửa đạn đạo Trung Quốc và khi đó mọi người mới vỡ lẽ là Qatar đã âm thầm mua vũ khí Trung Quốc. Thứ nhất Qatar trang bị vũ khí của Trung Quốc và thứ hai là đã không hề thông báo trước với Washington. Về khối lượng, số vũ khí mua của Trung Quốc không nhiều nhưng thái độ úp mở đó của chính quyền Doha gây tranh cãi và đừng quên rằng kèm theo việc sắm vũ khí Trung Quốc còn có cả một thông điệp có lẽ Qatar muốn gửi tới Hoa Kỳ bởi vì một hợp đồng mua bán vũ khí không bao giờ là một cử chỉ hời hợt. Câu hỏi kế tiếp là sau Qatar liệu các quốc gia khác trong khu vực có chuyển sang trang bị vũ khí Trung Quốc hay không ». Trong bài nghiên cứu, đăng trên trang mạng của viện IFRI Jean-Loup Samaan nói rõ hơn : Doha mua tên lửa đạn đạo tầm ngắn loại SY-400 của Trung Quốc tuy nhiên theo số liệu của Viện Nghiên Cứu Hòa Bình Quốc Tế SIPRI trong giai đoạn 2010-2020, Qatar mua vào 118 triệu đô la vũ khí của Trung Quốc. Con số này không thấm vào đâu với hơn 3 tỷ đô la với Mỹ trong cùng thời kỳ. 70 % vũ khí và trang thiết bị quân sự của Qatar là hàng « made in USA ». Nói cách khác, hợp tác quân sự giữa Qatar và Trung Quốc trước mắt mang tính tượng trưng. Tuy nhiêu câu hỏi đặt ra là cả Doha lẫn Bắc Kinh muốn gì và có thể cho rằng Qatar đang chuyển hướng lao vào quỹ đạo Trung Quốc hay không ? Jean-Loup Samaan : « Thực ra về phía Bắc Kinh, rõ ràng là Trung Quốc muốn bắt rễ vào Vịnh Ba Tư, khu vực từ trước đến nay vẫn được xem là sân sau của Hoa Kỳ. Thắt chặt quan hệ với Qatar cho phép củng cố thêm uy tín, mở rộng ảnh hưởng với khu vực mà ai cũng nghĩ là Trung Quốc không chen chân được tới. Nhìn từ phía Doha, cũng có nhiều lý do giải thích cho việc hợp tác, kể cả về quân sự với Bắc Kinh. Trước hết, Qatar trang bị tên lửa Trung Quốc có nghĩa là mua vào những loại vũ khí mà Mỹ, vì những lý do khác nhau, từ chối cung cấp cho quốc gia này và một số nước khác trong vùng Vịnh. Washington tránh xuất khẩu vũ khí cho nhiều nước Ả Rập do không muốn những loại vũ khí đó có thể đe dọa đến an ninh của Israel. Thành thử, nhập khẩu vũ khí Trung Quốc cũng có thể là một cách để cảnh cáo Hoa Kỳ rằng Doha có thể tìm được một giải pháp thay thế và giải pháp thay thế đó có thể là Trung Quốc. Đây là động lực thứ nhì khiến Qatar quay sang Bắc Kinh. Tuy nhiên khó khẳng định là Qatar đã nghiêng về phía Trung Quốc vì nhiều lẽ. Thứ nhất về mặt ngoại giao, Doha luôn tỏ ra rất thận trọng. Điều này đã được chứng minh qua những hồ sơ khác nhau. Thứ hai, Qatar vẫn nằm trong quỹ đạo của Hoa Kỳ. Đừng quên rằng đây là trung tâm của bộ chỉ huy Mỹ tại Trung Đông. Trong cuộc đọ sức Mỹ-Trung, Qatar trong thế quan sát : Xem Trung Quốc có đề xuất gì không về mặt quân sự trong bối cảnh Hoa Kỳ chủ trương ngừng đóng vai trò sen đầm thế giới. Điểm thứ nhì là bản thân Trung Quốc cũng rất thận trọng. Chưa bao giờ Bắc Kinh bày tỏ nguyện vọng thay thế Mỹ trong vùng Vịnh. Trung Quốc không muốn thay thế Hoa Kỳ để bảo đảm an ninh cho các quốc gia trong vùng bởi đó là một nước cờ vừa tốn kém vừa đầy rủi ro. Điểm thứ ba nữa là Doha thừa biết Trung Quốc không phải là điểm tựa về mặt an ninh và cũng không thể trông chờ vào Bắc Kinh như là Qatar đang dựa vào Mỹ trong lĩnh vực quân sự. Không có chuyện Trung Quốc điều quân sang vùng Vịnh trong trường hợp Qatar bị tấn công. Thành thử đây là một giai đoạn khá sôi động và rất thú vị để quan sát những chuyển biến trong quan hệ giữa Qatar với hai siêu cường là Mỹ và Trung Quốc. Tuy nhiên theo tôi đến một lúc nào đó Doha sẽ phải chọn đứng về phía nào, không thể duy trì mãi thái độ mập mờ giữa hai đối tác chiến lược ». Trung Quốc chưa thể soán ngôi Hoa Kỳ Cũng trong bài nghiên cứu nói về thế đi dây của Qatar trong cảnh Mỹ và Trung Quốc đối đầu, Jean-Loup Samaan đưa ra nhiều yếu tố cho thấy Qatar vẫn trong quỹ đạo của Mỹ. Trước hết về kinh tế, thương mại, đành rằng Trung Quốc đã trở thành đối tác hàng đầu, nhưng Mỹ vẫn là một « bạn hàng không hể thiếu » của Doha. Tổng trao đổi mậu dịch hai chiều với Mỹ năm 2019 đạt 7 tỷ đô la -với Trung Quốc là 10 tỷ. Kế tới, khác với Mỹ, Trung Quốc không chỉ trích Qatar vi phạm nhân quyền. Nhưng hồ sơ người Duy Ngô Nhĩ là cái gai trong quan hệ ngoại giao giữa Doha với Bắc Kinh. Điểm thứ ba, như ông Samaan vừa giải thích, về mặt chiến lược và an ninh, Qatar biết rõ không thể trông cậy vào Trung Quốc. Cuối cùng, song song với việc mở rộng giao thương với Trung Quốc, Qatar liên tục thắt chặt quan hệ với đồng minh truyền thống là Hoa Kỳ. Năm 2013 Doha và Washington triển hạn thêm 10 năm Hiệp định hợp tác phòng thủ được ký nết năm 1992. Mỹ từ năm 2002 lập trung tâm chỉ huy tại Qatar và quốc gia vùng Vịnh này cũng là nơi hơn 10.000 quân nhân Mỹ đồn trú trong khuôn viên căn cứ không quân Al Udeid. Năm 2017 khi bị các nước láng giềng phong tỏa, Doha đã vững tâm nhờ có điểm tựa là Hoa Kỳ. Gần đây nhất cộng đồng quốc tế thấy rõ Qatar đóng vai trò then chốt trên hồ sơ Afghanistan cả về mặt ngoại giao lẫn hậu cần. Cũng căn cứ quân sự Al Udeid của Qatar là địa điểm đón hơn 40.000 người Mỹ và các cộng tác viên của Hoa Kỳ di tản khỏi Afghanistan hồi tháng 8/2021. Vào lúc Nhà Trắng dưới chính quyền Trump kỳ kèo đòi các đối tác quân sự đóng góp nhiều hơn, chia sẻ gánh nặng với Mỹ, thì Doha dễ dàng đề nghị đài thọ toàn bộ khoản tốn kém 1,8 tỷ đô la để nâng cấp căn cứ không quân của Mỹ tại Al Udeid. Jean-Loup Samaan đại học Singapore và chuyên gia thuộc Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế Pháp kết luận : Doha không hề xa cách Washington để ngả về phía Bắc Kinh mà trái lại Qatar đã thắt chặt thêm quan hệ với Hoa Kỳ đặc biệt là trong giai đoạn từ 2017 đến 2021 khi chính quyền của ông Cheikh Tamim bị ba nước láng giềng chung quanh phong tỏa. Chính dưới áp lực của Mỹ mà Ả Rập Xê Út gần đây đã « miễn cưỡng » làm hòa với Qatar. Dù vậy tác giả bài nghiên cứu mang tựa đề Qatar trước sự kình nghịch Mỹ-Trung : thế lưỡng nan của một vương quốc trong vùng Vịnh  nhìn nhận khó thể đoán trước những thay đổi trong chiến lược của Qatar giữa hai ông khổng lồ là Mỹ và Trung Quốc. « Một phần lớn câu trả lời tùy thuộc vào những cân nhắc tại Washington về chính sách của Mỹ tại Trung Đông ». Điều hiển nhiên nhất hiện tại là liên hệ ngày càng khắng khít giữa Qatar với Trung Quốc về kinh tế, đầu tư và thương mại. Kèm theo đó sẽ là những « ảnh hưởng về phương diện ngoại giao và quân sự » trong tương lai.

Business mentor and strategist Jeff Schwisow shares: Why the real enemy of business evolution is not change, but how ‘now' cripples your ability to focus on ‘next'. How an effective project mindset is one that moves away from large transformational change in favour of a steady stream of smaller adaptive projects. One of the biggest blocks to Boundless Leadership is being too focused on the scoreboard and not the game you're playing. Build your organisation as a circle not a triangle. Three key tips to get started to bring the future into now and be better at getting strategic results.

Following on from PetroChina's announcement at the China LNG & Gas Summit this week that they expect overall gas demand in China to double in next 15 years to 600bcma, Pat looks at what China needs to do to acheive this and the positive affects this has on our business.

Les compagnies pétrolières chinoises ne sont pas épargnées par la crise du coronavirus. Après PetroChina, c’est au tour de Sinopec de déplorer ses premières pertes semestrielles en plus de 20 ans. La Chine s’est remise plus vite du Covid-19, mais le coronavirus n’en a pas moins pulvérisé les profits de ses géants du pétrole. Sinopec est dans le rouge, pour la première fois depuis sa cotation à la bourse de Hong Kong en 2000. Une perte de 22 milliards de yuan, soit 3,2 milliards de dollars. Sinopec ou China Petroleum & Chemical Corp a beau être le premier raffineur d’Asie, il a été frappé comme ses concurrents internationaux par la chute de la demande de carburants : il n’a transformé « que » 111 millions de tonnes de brut de janvier à juin dernier, 10% de moins qu’en 2019. Le groupe doit déprécier des actifs, vendre ses parts dans les oléoducs et réduire ses dépenses d’investissement de 10% en 2020. Dépréciations d’actifs mais production d’hydrocarbures soutenue Le premier producteur chinois de pétrole PetroChina a publié des résultats encore plus mauvais il y a quelques jours : 30 milliards de yuans soit 4,4 milliards de dollars de pertes sur les six premiers mois de l’année. PetroChina a subi le plongeon des cours du pétrole et le coup de frein de la demande chinoise et mondiale de brut. Lui aussi déprécie ses actifs d’1,2 milliard de dollars. Enfin CNOOC, China National Offshore Oil Corp, plus orienté vers l’exploitation des hydrocarbures à l’étranger, reste dans le vert mais voit ses profits plonger des deux tiers. Maintien de prix du brut « à un niveau bas » selon Sinopec Paradoxalement, les trois grands groupes pétroliers publics chinois ont continué à produire des hydrocarbures de façon soutenue. Au premier semestre, la production de Sinopec n’a baissé que de 0,4%, celle de CNOOC a bondi de 6%, celle de PetroChina de 7%. Mais le sentiment pour le reste de l’année est très mitigé. Sinopec croit, certes, à une reprise forte de la demande pétrolière et pétrochimique en Chine, mais juge que les prix du brut vont continuer « à fluctuer à un niveau bas » au deuxième semestre, à cause de l’instabilité et de l’incertitude croissantes sur le sort de l’économie mondiale. ChinaCorp s’attend à une fin d’année difficile avec une concurrence accrue sur le sol chinois, puisque les compagnies pétrolières étrangères peuvent depuis peu y investir sans partenaire local.

Hoy en #DiaADia, comenzamos conversando con la periodista Luján Artola, quien comentó que “Kamala Harris reúne el mérito de una mujer trabajadora”. Además, Artola advirtió que “Trump deberá tener mucho cuidado con lo que diga sobre Kamala Harris”, ya que “Cada insulto y palabra fea hacia Kamala Harris, va a ser un voto para ella y para el partido demócrata”. Desde Caracas nos atendió el abogado Juan Manuel Raffalli: “El tema no es el 6 de diciembre, es todo lo que debe ocurrir para que ese día pueda darse una elección”, comentó, agregando que “Es probable que con 1138 contagios en un día, el gobierno quizás se la tenga que pensar y se muevan las elecciones”. Raffalli también nos habló sobre el documento de la Conferencia Episcopal, el cual asegura que “Se ha interpretado de muchas formas, pero la idea de fondo es que la forma en la que se ha producido el proceso electoral es inmoral”. Para continuar el tema del documento de la Conferencia Episcopal, el analista político Guillermo Tell Aveledo opinó que el mismo “Es muy complejo”, y que “Está diciendo que las condiciones son inmorales, pero que no basta con la abstención”, por lo que “El liderazgo tiene que hallar medios para que la población exprese el descontento profundo que tiene en estos días”. La directora de la Revista Familia de Broward, Adriana Carrera, nos habló sobre el censo 2020 de Estados Unidos, sobre lo cual aseguró que “Esto de cortar el tiempo del 31 de octubre al 30 de septiembre, ha puesto a toda la maquinaria del censo en una carrera contra el tiempo”. También comentó que “El censo es totalmente tecnológico, todo se hace desde un celular. Pero hay gente que no tiene este tipo de tecnología”, y animó a la audiencia del programa residenciada en Estados Unidos a participar en el censo. Y para cerrar el programa del día de hoy, la periodista Marianna Párraga nos informó que “En el 2019, debido a las sanciones, los barcos petroleros perdieron el seguro”, y que “PetroChina y PDVSA no llegaron a un acuerdo sobre cómo dividirse los ingresos”. Párraga también comentó que “A muchos barcos que tocan Venezuela o van a Venezuela, les cambian el nombre”, ya que “Es una forma de ocultar el viaje a Venezuela”. E inclusive “Hay barcos que apagan su señal satelital un mes antes y un mes después de visitar Venezuela, para así evitar las sanciones”.

In this episode of Beneath the Subsurface we introduce our Geoscience and Data & Analytics intern teams for our summer internship program. Erica kicks off the episode with Jason and Sri talking about how the programs have come about and changed overtime here at TGS, how they select and recruit for the program, and the scope of the projects that the internships tackle this summer. Erica then spends time with both teams of interns discussing the experience in the program, what they’ve learned, and everything they’ll be taking away and applying back to their studies and upcoming careers. TABLE OF CONTENTS00:00 - Intro00:50 - Team Leader Segment with Jason and Sri01:09 - The Geoscience Internship Program04:42 - The Data & Analytics Internship Program07:29 - Advice for Program Applicants11:54 - Data & Analytics Intern Team Introductions13:32 - The D&A Summer Projects15:18 - Lessons Learned Pt. 117:20 - The TGS Internship Experience Pt. 120:24 - Future Careers21:41 - Advice for Future Interns & Reasons to Apply Pt. 124:34 - Valuable Take Aways Pt. 126:01 - Geoscience Intern Team Introductions28:36 - The Geoscience Summer Projects31:33 - Lessons Learned Pt. 233:14 - The TGS Internship Experience Pt. 234:12 - Advice for Future Interns & Reasons to Apply Pt. 239:28 - Valuable Take Aways Pt. 2EXPLORE MORE FROM THE EPISODEARLASSALT NET TGS DATA LIBRARYEPISODE TRANSCRIPTErica Conedera:00:12Hello and welcome to Beneath the Subsurface a podcast that explores the intersection of geoscience and technology. From the Software Development Department here at TGS, I'm your host, Erica Conedera. This time around, we'll be chatting with our newest batch of intrepid students in TGS' dynamic and immersive internship program. As you will hear, they are a diverse group of future innovators from around the world. They bring with them a wide range of skills and interests and work together to collaborate on exciting real world projects. We'll start our conversation today with a quick introduction from the leaders of our internship program. I'm here with Sri Kainkarayam, the data science lead and Jason Kegel with the geoscience team who heads up the geoscience intern program. And we're going to talk a little bit about the internship programs. Jason, how has this program changed in the last five years?Jason Kegel:01:09When we first started the program, I want to say 2013, 2014, it was out of the Calgary office in Canada. The interns there were mainly from some of our Calgary schools nearby. And then it started to grow 2014, 2015 to include some of our Texas schools, UT, Baylor, University of Houston. As it's grown, we've decided to add more projects and more sort of interesting work to the projects. We've also been able to bring on some of our original interns into roles within the company. So over the last five years, I'd say the biggest thing that's grown is the, the number of interns. So in Calgary, when this first started we had one intern and then that same intern came back a second year and we brought another one on. And then we got one in Houston. And then as that grew, we had a couple in Houston and a couple in Calgary.Jason: 02:09And then the past couple of years we've had four each year. So we had four last year and four this year. So we've really been able to sort of guide new projects around that to where we can really include their schoolwork and what they're doing in their university work with what we're doing here at TGS and hopefully build a sort of cohesive project for them to work on. And that's sort of the struggle with a lot of internship projects that we've done over the past years is to incorporate what they want to do as students and as interns and as their career grows, with what we'd like to see them do and encourage them to do within TGS.Erica:02:49Does that go into the consideration of which interns you end up picking, what their specialties are or what they're looking to do with what you need?Jason:02:58No, not necessarily, a lot of the times the interns, so for example, last year we were working very closely with a couple of schools that we wanted to bring data into. So some of our production data our Longbow group into with the University of Lafayette. So we were working really closely with a few professors out of that school and a few professors with UH. So we had recommendations from the professors themselves with students that they thought might work nicely with us with - in terms of their knowledge of data already and their knowledge of well log use and seismic, so they can kind of jump in running without having to learn too much in the beginning, without too much of a learning curve. So in aspects of that, and that's, that's more that we look for. So the, the professors we're working with, along with how long it will take them to, to get up and running with things.Jason:03:51Our current group of students is sort of a more advanced set of students who are working on their PhDs or in their later years of their master's degrees. So they've already seen a lot of these areas and worked with a lot of the data. So we do look for sort of more advanced students now, whereas when we first started the program, we were, we were happy to get anybody, some people that were not sure if they were going to be geoscientists, but you know, we're in the geoscience program with their bachelor's and that was okay too. I think we still got a lot out of having them here, working with us. but as we've grown, we've been putting them on more and more advanced projects and they've really been able to help out.Erica:04:29Cool, sounds like they've added a lot of value.Jason:04:30They definitely do. And it's nice to have sort of fresh faces around in the summertime and, and it really, really fills in for everybody that goes on vacation in the summer.Erica:04:39(Laughter) Right? Awesome.Jason:04:39The office doesn't seem so empty.Erica:04:42Awesome. So for the data analytics team, the internship program is new. I think this is your first batch of interns, correct Sri?Sri Kainkaryam:04:57Yes. So the data science team started sometime around November, 2017 so this is, although this has been our second summer, this is our first batch of interns that are projects, both, trying to test out novel algorithms, novel approaches, also try and apply ideas from high performance computing to building workflows, and also try and build sort of, user interfaces or ability to, deploy these for various users. So, there are broadly three buckets in which these projects fall into. And, it's an, it's, it was an interesting time looking for an intern because data science as, as a domain is, sits at the intersection of sort of three, broadly non intersecting sets, right? So geoscience, computing as well as machine learning or deep learning and folks having adequate background in all three of them, they sort of fit the -the mold of a good intern.Sri:06:02So it was in some sense was a little hard initially to try and find an intern. So I think we have a talented group of interns working on two of the broad offerings that we have right now. One of them is Salt Net, that is trying to interpret salt bodies from seismic images, and one is called ARLAS that is curve completion and aspects of petrophysics that can be done on, on wells that are available in an entire basin. So, it's, it's been four weeks into the internship program and the interns, the interns are pretty smart. They're motivated and it's been a fun experience so far.Erica:06:43Is it a 12 week program in total?Sri:06:46It's around a 12 week program. Some of them I think are here for a little longer than that. So, one of them is, trying to build a tensorflow port of our salt network flow because tensorflow community comes with a bunch of advantages such as, like, ability to deploy, it also comes with a JavaScript library called tensorflow JS that that makes it easy to do machine learning in the browser. So we want to make use of that infrastructure and the community built infrastructure. And that's one of the reasons why, one of the interns is spending time trying to build, trying to put our workflow in onto tensorflow.Erica:07:29So if you guys had some advice to give to people looking to get into the internship program, would you have anything you'd want to let them know?Sri:07:37So from the perspective of data science internships, given that how fast the field is moving, especially for students looking for data science internships in, in the space of oil and gas, the first and foremost thing is having an ability to understand various aspects, various various sources of data or aspects of data in the upstream domain. Because, just to give you an example, somebody who's worked on deep learning of natural images throughout, the moment you try and apply similar algorithms onto seismic images, it's a completely different domain. So, what are the, what are some of the assumptions that you can make? And that's where having a strong domain background really helps.Sri:08:30And I think the second thing that is, that's becoming very important in the marketplace right now is, is with, with platforms like GitHub or, you know, various open source projects. You can actually showcase your code. So pick a problem, learn a few, learn some approaches or try out some novel approaches, and put out the code out there. Put that on your resume because that adds a lot of weight, in your, in your ability to make a case for an internship rather than somebody who hasn't, who says, oh, I have, I have a strong programming background, but there's no way for somebody who's evaluating the person to see the code. So that these days has become a really strong advantage for, for a lot of students. So a couple of the students that are working with us this summer, they actually have active GitHub profiles where they've posted code, they've contributed code, various projects and so on. And as a consequence, like we looked at their profiles and backgrounds and like, oh, this is an obvious fit to our group and this person also has a background. A couple of them were like Ph.D students in geophysics, so it's an obvious fit for our team. So it was, it was all, it was a no-brainer for us to get them to come work with us this summer,Erica:09:53Jason?Jason:09:53On the geoscience side, it's, it's quite a bit different really. A lot of the students that are in university going for, for geoscience and wanting to go into the oil and gas industry have mainly just academic experience. So we really just want somebody that can sort of get up to speed quickly with sort of what an explorationist in an oil and gas company would do is look at essentially what we're bringing them in to do is what a sort of a mini, really quick exploration studies on basins where they don't have to go full on to drill a well, but they still need to have the ideas behind it where they can use the data, they have to evaluate an area and come up to speed quickly with, with getting those presentations out. So having really good presentation skills and having just a background enough to be able to learn on their own and pick up concepts quickly really helps. We see that a lot with, since we do get a lot of our interns through their advisors at different universities, that that really helps. But it also doesn't hinder it. We've also had lots of students that have applied, that have came from different universities where we don't know the advisors and it's just a matter of them going through the interview process and showcasing that they're, they're able to get to speed quickly. So, anybody can really go, go and do this type of work if they have the, the ability to learn.Erica:11:14Awesome.Sri:11:14I think that's an interesting point that Jason brought up. The ability to learn things fast and, sort of the ability to, appreciate various data sets and trying to understand and bring them together. I think that's a huge advantage for, for students. And based on my interaction with students in our group as well as Jason's group, I think TGS this summer has a fabulous group of interns.Erica:11:43Okay. Well thank you guys for talking to us about the internship program and we're very happy to talk to your respective groups and see what they have to say. Thank you.Sri:11:52Thank very much.Jason:11:53Thank you.Erica:11:56I'm sitting here with our first group of interns from the data and analytics group. To my left, we have Michael Turek from Florida State University. His major is computer science. He has a B.S. In computer science as an Undergrad. What are your career goals? What are you working towards?Michael Turek:12:15Yes. So part of me taking an internship here at TGS was to help figure that out. And so, well, you know, my interests rely mostly in machine learning and things like this. So something pretty, along those lines.Erica:12:31Awesome. Well we hope you, we'll help you figure that out. While you're here. Going around the table, we have Lingxiao Jia from the University of Wyoming. Your major is geophysics and you're working towards your PhD studying seismic imaging, migration and inversion. What kind of career are you working towards?Lingxiao Jia:12:50I plan to work as a Geoscientist in the oil and gas industry.Erica:12:56Awesome.Lingxiao:12:56Yeah, I like to do programming, so mostly on that.Erica:13:06Cool. All right. And then to my right, we had Deepthi Sen, from Texas A&M, majoring in petroleum engineering, working towards your PhD, studying reservoir engineering. What's your career goal, Ms. Deepthi?Deepthi Sen:13:21I'd like to, get a full time employment in the oil industry, preferably working on something related to machine learning in reservoir engineering. So yeah, that's why one of the reasons why I'm here too.Erica:13:33Awesome. Yeah. Oh, we're glad all of you are here. So can you guys describe for us, the projects you're working on? I'm not sure if you guys are all working on the same project or if you're working on different projects.Deepthi:13:45We are working on different projects. So right now I'm working on something which, involves clustering well logs, into good and bad, sections.Deepthi:13:57I use machine learning and a few algorithms that I use for my graduate research too.Erica:14:04Very cool. What's a bad section?Deepthi:14:07A bad section as in, there are certain depths at which, certain well logs behave erratically so we want, do not want to use that data, so we have to cluster it out. So, in order to do that manually for, you know, thousands of wells, it's impossible. So that's where machine learning comes into play.Erica:14:27Very cool. Very useful too. Lingxiao?Lingxiao:14:32I'll be working on using machine learning to do the recognition of geoscience features. For example, there could be faults, it could be picking horizons, could be recognizing salt domes, something like that.Erica:14:48Wow. Very complex and over my head. (Laughter) I'm sure it's very important though. And you, sir?Michael:14:57Yeah, so I'm working on translating the models that TGS' data analytics team uses to predict salt patches in the earth. So they use, they use models written in a module called Pi Torch and I'm converting that to tensorflow 2.0Erica:15:17Cool. Very cool. So what have you guys learned along the way so far? I know this is kind of the beginning for you, but-Michael:15:28Yeah, so it's, it's somewhat difficult to- so much, is kind of the answer to that question. But a lot of what I've learned boils down to more of the theory side of machine learning. Coming into the internship I didn't know a whole lot about the backend of machine learning, mostly just applying it. So learning how all these models work and why they work and things like that in terms of, the actual actually applying machine learning. That's what I've learned. I've also learned though, perhaps more importantly, working with a team and collaborating and things like that, which has been-Erica:16:10So hands on, real-world experience. What do you guys say to that? Ladies, I should say (Laughter) to my right.Deepthi:16:17So as I said, the research that I do is again, on machine learning. So I get to use similar algorithms to another, I would say facet of oil and gas. So I worked in reservoir engineering back in Grad school. Here I'm working on, petrophysics, so I kind of see how the same algorithms and same concepts can be applied in two different, areas, which is quite eye opening. Yeah. And apart from that I'm learning new algorithms and learning new math, which, I would think that's very important for, for my Grad school too, so, one good thing about TGS is that, they are quite, you know, they don't mind, publishing. So as a PhD student, that's very important to me. So that's one thing I look forward to too.Erica:17:08Yeah. Awesome.Lingxiao:17:10For me, it has helped me get a deeper understanding of how much, how machine learning works and how it could be applied to the field of Geo Sciences.Erica:17:20Cool. So talking about TGS more broadly, like as a culture, how would you say it's like working here, if someone were to ask you from school, what's it like working at TGS? What's that company like? What would you say?Deephti:17:36It's a very friendly atmosphere and, it is different from Grad School, in the sense that, I think Grad School, hours are more flexible than in an industry environment. But then, the focus is different and this is more, you know, I would think this more social than Grad school and, you know, being here, this is my first internship in the US, the environment is very friendly and you know, people look out for each other it's great.Erica:18:15Cool.Lingxiao:18:15Yeah. People here are so helpful and the, I have had a great time. I really enjoy this internship by far. Yeah.Erica:18:26Awesome.Michael:18:26It's wonderful. You're working in small teams and so you get to know everyone pretty well. It's very tight knit and those people are smart and very helpful kind people. It's, it's, it's wonderful.Erica:18:37Cool. Any surprises along the way? Anything you weren't expecting?Michael:18:44So, no, I wouldn't say there's anything that surprised me. I mean apart from the environment I had a much more perhaps rigid definition of, you know, you go to work and do your job and that's kind of that, but it's much more relaxed and that was, I guess, somewhat surprising.Erica:19:01Okay. I like that. Yeah. How bad the drive was maybe?Deepthi:19:06Yeah, I stay close by.Erica:19:09That's good. That's the way to do it. (Laughter) Yeah. What are you guys looking forward to for the remainder of your internships?Michael:19:17Yeah, so I'm looking forward since I'm rewriting these, these models and an interface for them, it'll be exciting to see them, how they perform and also to actually see the data and analytics team using them and hopefully finding them useful.Erica:19:31Yeah to see value for what you're working on. Absolutely.Deepthi:19:34So I'm about to finish the first part of my project, so I would like to wrap it up, you know, produce some good results and maybe get a publication out of it. And after that, yeah, I have a plan for what is to be done next, regarding the same, using the same similar approach but in a different setting. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to that.Erica:19:59Can you tell us what the different setting is or is that classified?Deepthi:20:03I'm not sure. (Laughter)Erica:20:05Right. We'll leave that one alone.Lingxiao:20:08So doing an internship here at TGS is an amazing adventure. I learn and discover new things everyday and I feel time passes very quickly, and everything is moving at a timely manner. So it's pretty good.Erica:20:24Nice. So I think we kind of touched upon how you guys are going to apply what you've learned here, at your careers as you go forward. Is there any particular job title that you guys think you're going to go towards?Deepthi:20:44Yeah. I probably will be going for a data scientist role, or I can say because of my background in reservoir engineering, I can go both on the data and science roles or the reservoir engineering roles. But yeah, from my experience here, I would, I think I would prefer to go to the data and data science roles because, there are like lots of opportunities out there and, the experience that I've gained here, I, I think it's going to be very helpful finding a full time position later on. Yeah.Lingxiao:21:18I could consider becoming a Geoscientist in the oil and gas or becoming a structural engineer because I have a programming background.Michael:21:32Yeah. I wouldn't say I have any career title I'm, I'm seeking out, but perhaps data scientist, but I'm not sure.Erica:21:41So what advice would you give to the interns who are going to be coming behind you?Michael:21:46Yeah. So probably to just build strong relationships with the team that you're in. Learn as much as you can, as deeply as you can.Deepthi:21:58Yeah. I would suggest that before coming in, you can go through, or if they have a set plan for you. In my case they did. So I had read up and you know, known what I'm going to work on so you can, you know, straight away start working on the project you have a rather than, you know, spend a lot of time, reading up those things that can happen before you start the internship. And yes, once you're here, it's, very important to like keep in touch, you know, meet the mentors every day or you know, update them so you have a clear path that you need to, yeah.Erica:22:44Lingxiao?Lingxiao:22:44I would suggest to go talk with people and you see what everyone is working on.Erica:22:51So learn, learn what other people are doing as well.Lingxiao:22:55Yeah.Erica:22:55That, yeah, that makes good sense. So why did you guys apply for the internships here?Michael:23:05So I applied, cause I was just looking for an internship and I had heard that, well I had heard that, (Laughter)Erica:23:14Honest.Michael:23:14(Laughter) I had heard good reviews from people who I respect and and I knew that they had a new data and analytics team doing machine learning, doing things with machine learning. That piqued my interest. And so I told them I was interested.Erica:23:28So kind of diverge off of that. So what programs are you guys using? Like actual hands on programs?Michael:23:36Yeah. So, programs for me are pretty, pretty simple. I use, a coding ID, visual Studio Code, and an Internet browser.Erica:23:43Whoa, okay.Michael:23:46I do that to do my work.Erica:23:47Google and a calculator, alright.Michael:23:49Yeah, pretty much.Erica:23:52Deepthi?Deepthi:23:52Uh, what was the question again?Erica:23:56What programs do you guys use?Deepthi:23:59Again, I guess we are in the process of making a program, so what I use is just Jupyter, it's very basic.Erica:23:59It's built on Python correct?Deepthi:23:59Yes, it is Python, I use Jupyter ID, and I'm in the process of making something useful from scratch.Erica:24:22So lastly, would you guys recommend a TGS internship to your fellow students?All:24:27Yes, definitely. Yes. Yes, yes. Yeah. Awesome. Yes.Erica:24:34Okay. So open question to the table. What are you going to take back to your program that you learned from your internship here? Starting with Michael to the left?Michael:24:42Yeah, so I'm learning a lot about machine learning and so in computer science that's obviously going to be a direct parallel. I can take that back. But I really think that what I'm learning most here that I'll take back is just how to collaborate with people, how to talk with people in a team and work in that way. I think that'll -Erica:25:05Life skills.Michael:25:11Yes.Erica:25:11Lingxiao?Lingxiao:25:11So, since machine learning in such a hot topic. Now, the work that I did here could be really extended into a project in my PhD research. So, yeah I'm currently working on that.Erica:25:28Awesome. Deepthi?Deepthi:25:29So right now we're working on a clustering of time series data. So my, one of the projects that I'm working, at my Grad school is also on time series data, and I think I might be able to, you know, use the insights that I gained from, from TGS, directly to my, research. So that's something that I'm looking forward to.Erica:25:52Awesome. Okay, well thank you guys for talking with us today and I guess we'll let you get back to work now.Michael:25:59Thank you for having us.Deepthi:26:00Thank you.Lingxiao:26:01Thank you.Erica:26:01And now our last group for this episode, the geoscience interns.Erica:26:08Going around the table clockwise, we have Sean Romito. You're from the University of Houston, majoring in geology. You are working towards your PhD and you are studying magnetic basement structure of the Caribbean plate, tectonostratigraphy of South Gabon and Camamu-Almada conjugate basins. I totally know what all of that means. What career are you working towards?Sean Romito:26:35Oh, hello. Thank you for having me. Definitely exploration Geoscientist, this is kind of where I've been propelling my career, ever since I started with a bachelor's and I've just kinda been stepping towards that goal.Erica:26:51Awesome. All right. Now we have Geoff Jackson from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Majoring in petroleum geology. Your program is a master's degree and you graduated last spring. Congratulations!Geoff Jackson:27:07Thank you!Erica:27:07You studied a prospect lead off of a salt dome in southern Louisiana, and you cannot give us any more details than that.Geoff:27:14Unfortunately yes.Erica:27:14Very mysterious. So what, what are your career goals?Geoff:27:19Uh, similar to Sean's I was going to say, I can probably speak for the group here, but we're all just trying to be geologists and getting on with an operator, going to say probably best case scenario.Erica:27:28Awesome. Next we have Hualing Zhang, from the University of Houston, majoring in geology, working towards a PhD. And you're studying structural analysis and gravity modeling in the Permian Basin in West Texas. And you are originally from Urumqi, Northwest China and you got interested in geology about traveling around. That is so cool. So is your career goal the same?Hualing:27:53Yeah, basically similar, I'm working towards a career goal in the oil industry. Yeah. Since, like, my dad is also a geologist. Yeah. He works in PetroChina. So yeah, that's also my career goal.Erica:28:08Awesome. Yeah. Awesome. All right. And lastly, Cahill Kelleghan from Colorado School of Mines, majoring in geology. You're working towards a Masters of science and geology, and you're studying sedimentology and basin analysis / modeling with your thesis being in the Delaware Basin. So career goals?Cahill:28:28I'm pretty similar. I like to be in exploration geology and I really like sedimentology. So yeah, just applied geo science.Erica:28:36Awesome. Cool. So can you describe for us the projects that you guys are working on this summer? Same project or different project?Sean:28:46TGS has kind of tasked us with, I'm putting together some potential prospects or ideas of places we can look and most of that's going to be happening, well, we think it'd be North America and North American basins. And so we've kind of gotten access to some of their pretty amazing software, access to a lot of different databases and kind of putting that all together for a big picture of something useful that they can hopefully use from our projects. So I don't know if you guys want to add anything.Geoff:29:15Yeah, I mean, for one thing with these projects that's been very helpful to leverage the software that TGS has, specifically Longbow and access to their wealth of onshore well data that they have there. So we've been kind of bringing all of that together to generate these areas where we think that we should move further into as a company.Hualing:29:40Yeah. Also the first two weeks we're like working separately. We each have a study area and it's just a information gathering and doing researches and moving forward. Right now we are working in pairs. So, me and Geoff, we are working on similar location and to do like a research in a more detailed way. Yeah.Erica:30:05So you guys mentioned the software programs you're using. So aside from Longbow, what other programs do you use?Cahill:30:14Um, a lot, a lot of work in Kingdom. But Longbow yeah. Longbow and Kingdom. I'd say probably the big two. Yeah. yeah.Sean:30:25Any, I mean, any time you talk about geology, Arc Gis is going to come up. So we've definitely been using that a lot as well.Erica:30:32Okay. And is that different than what you were familiar with, from school or is this the same training that you had?Sean:30:39Well, Longbow is completely different. You know, even looking at production data is not something that I, you know, geoscientists when we ever, we go through academia, we even get exposed to. We use Kingdom. But I think it's, it's more of on a limited basis. I've, I've really been able to work a lot with, the, the well interpretation suites here at TGS that I hadn't worked with before.Erica:31:03Cool. How do you, do you find that challenging or kind of a natural extension of what you are already working with?Sean:31:11I mean, I, yeah, challenging, interesting, different. The team here, the geoscience team here has been very helpful, with the different, features. I'd say there are bugs. Some people might say they're features with the Kingdom software. (Laughter) but I'd say challenging. Yeah, but, but in a good way, not, not as a, you know, wringing out your hands kind of way.Erica:31:33So what else have you guys learned besides Longbow?Geoff:31:37I think for me is just kind of seeing just like what a day-in and day-out sort of process is like. So like having worked in the field, I never walked, I've never worked in a corporate environment before, but just kind of seeing how teams integrate and work together, it's going to say I've never seen that portion before. And so for me it's been fun, you know, going from classroom and then getting the actual hands on application of what we learned in the classroom. That's what's been fun for me so far.Erica:32:01Anyone else agree? Agree, disagree?Sean:32:03I agree. Yeah. No, I mean another thing that I feel a lot of us, especially me and with my Phd projects, they're very wide scale. I'm not talking about basins, I'm talking about plates. And so it's been very rewarding to kind of zoom in. Even if we are still basin scale, that's a lot smaller than I'm used to. So I'm able to kind of get lost in the details more than I would in a very large scale study.Hualing:32:28I think also a good thing is we learn from each other. Like where were you working together? Yeah, we're getting familiar with the software and if any of us found something and others will get around and see what we found. And I think that's very important for us to learn.Erica:32:48Yeah, absolutely.Cahill:32:50Yeah, I think kind of going off that as well and we obviously us for come from different backgrounds in Geo Science and what we've worked in and we kinda bring those backgrounds and each of our own projects and we kind of can come together and help each other out in different areas that we might not be more experienced with, like certain, well log interpretations or mapping things, stuff like that. So, so yeah, it's, it is helpful to have a team.Geoff:33:14Good overlap.Erica:33:14What's it like working at TGS, culture wise? The people, the food?Sean:33:22(Laughter) well they treat us well hereGeoff:33:24I was gonna say no complaints there. Yeah, I mean getting started in know there's always a learning curve, but I mean I guess as much of a learning curve as there could be, you know, everyone around here has been as helpful as possibly could be, you know, to help make that climb that much less steep, if that's a good way of wording it. But that's kind of what I would think.Cahill: 33:43The food is definitely good. Healthy. I like it.Sean:33:45Can't complain about free lunches.Cahill:33:47Yeah. But, but I mean I think the culture here is really, everyone's been extremely nice and even just within the geoscience team, a lot of nice guys; Cian and Alex, they've been so helpful with any questions we have, whether it be geology related or software related, and we've had company outings already. Going on Top Golf is super fun. Everyone's very open to meeting different branches and whatnot. So that was really fun.Erica:34:12Why did you apply? Did it, for TGS' internship program in particular?Sean:34:17Well. Yeah. So, our professor, me and Hualing, we have the same, advisor at the University of Houston. Dr. Paul Mann. And he was actually the one that reached out to us because, James, the head of the Geoscience Department here, had reached out to him looking for good candidates. and he had asked us if we wanted to, to join up. We, we kind of, you know, we researched it. We, I was, I talked to James on the phone and it just seemed like something, so different from what I was doing at the moment that I felt like it was a great opportunity to jump back. And it, I have absolutely no regrets.Erica:34:54Awesome.Geoff:34:54Yeah, my story is pretty much the same thing. My thesis advisor was, was good friends with James K and so he reached out to me and saying, pretty much the same deal as him. Looked into you guys, obviously cause say Jason, I met you before. So that, and also, the interns from last year, I was going to say I was good friends with them too. So I knew what they did. And so, here I am.Erica:35:17Any surprises along the way? Anything that you weren't expecting that you've encountered during your time here?Cahill:35:25I guess one thing is, it shouldn't be surprising, but I'd always is that I'm working with really big data sets. There's always lots of errors you have to put up with. And even with the amazing technology we have, there's always, there's always a human aspect to it, that's always interesting, that we've dealt with in our data at least so far.Hualing:35:44I think for me it's the flexible working time and my, yeah, he didn't request a specific time to be here or like a specific time to leave. So that's like really helpful for my schedule that I can make adjustment along and try to see by what time range works best for me. Yeah.Geoff:36:08Yeah, that's definitely been nice. I feel, like you said having to commute from Spring. I was going to say, getting to come in maybe later or earlier as need be. It's always definitely nice to dodge that traffic.Erica:36:22What are you guys looking forward to working on for the remainder of your internship here?Geoff:36:27Well, I'm really excited to see the end product of what we're doing, especially because, we're going to be presenting it to upper management, and presenting it to our, our geoscience team as well. I think that's really going to help bringing it all together. Cause right now we know we're all working on our separate areas as well. I mean, we're still two teams in a certain area, but it's still very much our own work. And so that, that finish line I think is going to be where it all comes together and I see more bigger, I see a bigger picture than maybe I'm seeing right now.Geoff:36:57Yeah. I think one aspect that I like about is, it's not just busy work. You know, we're actually adding value to the company with an end result. Kind of like what Sean said.Erica: 37:06No making coffee?All:37:08(Laughter) Danggit. For ourselves, we make coffee for ourselves.Erica:37:14Um, what advice would you give to other students wanting to intern here?Cahill:37:20Say like, don't be afraid to get into anything that you're not experienced with. Whether it's geology or software related. Since coming here, I feel like you can learn a lot from a lot of different people and there's a lot of different backgrounds here and people are all open to helping you or talking about their passion and their little branch of geology or geoscience. And so I would say don't be afraid to ask questions and go up to random people and say, hey, what do you do here? And what are you into? Because chances are they're happy or passionate about their job and you can probably learn something from it.Geoff:37:54Yeah. Maybe to add onto those, don't feel like you have to know everything beforehand coming in. Cause I mean you're not, no one's gonna know everything. Kind of like what Cahill said, there's plenty of resources around. You don't feel afraid to ask. No. Everyone out here is more than willing to give their time to help you out for what you might have a problem with. And we've had that reiterated to us time and time again. So, I mean, it's been nice to know.Sean:38:17Hmm. And, I don't know if before we talked about how we got the internship, and I feel personal connections are the biggest, you know, it's not about going on a website and clicking apply. It's about going to the conferences and meeting people from TGS and they're extremely friendly. We've all seen that firsthand. So I'd definitely recommend, and I, I would recommend it as well that you would get an internship with TGS, but just go up and see them during conferences, talk to them, ask them about opportunities, say, Hey, what are you guys doing? Be interested. and even if you don't get something out of it, that's fine. You're still gonna make connection, connections and learn about where the industry's heading.Hualing:38:53Yeah, I definitely agree with Sean, cause I met Alex on with, the person, our geoscience group, we met during the AAPG meeting at San Antonio and I talked to him and, he talked to me about his project and what I may be expecting for my interns. I think that definitely helped. And yeah, when I first day, when I came here, I saw him as, hey, yeah, that's, yeah. I feel like familiar and yeah, I'm more easy to get along. Yeah.Erica:39:28What have you gained during your time here at TGS that you're gonna take with you as you continue your studies and your career?Sean:39:36Everything we just talked about. Yeah, no, I mean that, that's a good sum up question. So the, the connections we've made with all the people here, not just in the Geo science team, every, every other team that there has that there is at this company. All the skills that we're learning with these different programs, the different perspectives we're getting because we're looking at, again, not just geological data, we're looking at, these problems more holistically. All that and above, I think is what we're going to take with us.Cahill:40:02Yeah. I think, you pretty much nailed it on the head. It's seeing the, the geoscience in an actual industry application in its own way. It's a lot of different moving parts coming together for an end product that's ultimately valuable and generates business. And then seeing how that works, you know, if on a fundamental level that's, that's pretty interesting and being able to be a part of, it's pretty cool. So.Erica:40:27Well, awesome.
