Curaçao-domiciled oilfield services company
POPULARITY
Harshil Mathur started Razorpay after quitting the highest-paying job on his campus, a role his whole family had just celebrated, because he walked in on day one and realised he was a guy who wanted to sit and code, not step onto an oil field.Then he spent a decade away from that: walking into bank after bank getting laughed out of the room, surviving the grind no funding can fast-track, and the night Yes Bank froze with customer money stuck inside it. This is the founder story, lived experience as an edge, why the rejections compounded in his favour, why the grind always comes, and the values that made the hard calls simple.And then the thing that pulled him back: agentic AI. "It went from being an assistant to an execution engine." Six years after he last wrote real code, Harshil locked himself in a room, asked "if I were to start Razorpay today, how would I build it?" — and rebuilt everything.The second half is an operator's view of what that shift actually changes: 1. Why AI magnifies an org's weaknesses instead of fixing them2. Why an agent with no plan drifts exactly like a company with no plan3. How Razorpay flipped its leadership hackathon and the bet behind Agent Studio4. Hosted by Avnish Bajaj with Vikram Vaidyanathan this is a conversation about building, walking away from it, and being pulled back, and what that says about where AI is headed.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:15 Growing up in Jaipur & coding since 6th grade05:30 IIT Roorkee, SDS Labs & building without permission10:45 Quitting a $100,000 Schlumberger job in 6 months14:20 The Facebook comment that sparked Razorpay18:00 100 banker rejections & how rejections compound24:10 Getting into YC with zero expectations35:30 Yes Bank freezes — one decision defines the culture40:00 Going back to coding after 6 years — AI changes everything52:00 Rebuilding Razorpay from scratch with AI agentsFollow Z47Website - https://www.z47.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/z47.vc/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/z47-vc/
Treasury teams are being asked to move quickly to digitalize, with AI only adding to the pace as the number of tools, use cases and ideas keeps expanding. The challenge for many NeuGroup members is figuring out where to start and what will actually make a difference. In this episode, Dan Morrison, Global Treasury Digital and Performance Manager at SLB, formerly Schlumberger, joins NeuGroup's Justin Jones to discuss how treasury teams can make AI useful without getting overwhelmed. For Mr. Morrison, the future of treasury starts with consolidating information in tools like SAP Central Finance, a system that consolidates financial data from multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems into a single platform. From there, the focus shifts to how the data is used.Across SLB, teams have built dashboards in Microsoft's Power BI, often referred to internally as PBIs, to visualize cash positions, exposures and other key metrics. Some are highly effective, but they are not always consistent across regions. Part of his role is identifying what works, standardizing it and scaling it, so treasury teams are working from the same data and definitions.As more processes become automated, Mr. Morrison emphasizes the need for clear ownership. That includes using frameworks like RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted and informed) to define who owns data, who validates it and how issues are escalated. Structure becomes more important as AI is layered in. If the data is inconsistent or ownership is unclear, the tools will only amplify the problem.Listen to the full episode for Mr. Morrison's insights on how AI is reshaping treasury, where to focus now and how teams can keep pace.
Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Guilbeau v. Schlumberger Technology
Darius Lahoutifard is a visionary sales leader, serial entrepreneur, and founder of MEDDIC Academy, the premier global MEDDPICC® certification platform. A former executive at PTC and Oracle, Darius is best known for scaling PTC France's revenue from $4M to $27M in just three years—outperforming major industry competitors.Originally trained as a robotics engineer, Darius combined technical expertise with sales excellence, becoming CEO of a Schlumberger subsidiary at just 28 years old. He has since launched four successful tech startups, raised over $20 million in funding, and authored Always Be Qualifying. Today, through MEDDIC Academy, he equips sales professionals worldwide with the discipline, clarity, and strategy needed to improve qualification, forecasting, and win rates.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Darius Lahoutifard to discuss how authentic selling starts with purpose—and how strong qualification creates better sales outcomes. Darius shares that when purpose aligns with your work, selling from the heart becomes natural rather than forced.The conversation focuses on one of the biggest weaknesses in sales: poor qualification. Darius explains how optimism, urgency to close, and self-deception often cause sales professionals to hold onto deals that were never real. He introduces the Three Whys—Why buy anything? Why buy now? Why buy from us?—as a simple but powerful filter for qualification.He also breaks down the MEDDIC/MEDDPICC framework—Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Process, Decision Criteria, Paper Process, Pain, Champion, and Competition—showing how disciplined qualification protects time, improves forecasting, and increases trust. This episode is a masterclass in selling smarter, not just harder.KEY TAKEAWAYSPurpose makes authentic selling natural—when your work aligns with meaning, trust follows.Qualification is a time management strategy, not just a sales process.Sales optimism can become a liability when it blinds you to disqualifying signals.The Three Whys—Why buy? Why now? Why us?—help determine if a deal is real.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESFind your purpose, match it with your job, and then you'll be selling from the heart.Our time is limited and is the most precious asset we have as salespeople.We can deceive ourselves by not responding truthfully—the best way is to ask the customer.If the economic buyer asks why they should buy from you—how solid is your answer?ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

I'm thrilled to share some powerful insights and real-world lessons from my latest Capitalist Culture® podcast episode. This week, we dive into private equity, leadership, and building enduring businesses with James Andersen, founder of Clearview Capital.Here are the highlights you will not want to miss:James' Journey:• From Engineer to Investor: James began his career as a field engineer with Schlumberger in the Middle East, gaining hands-on operational experience early. • From Consulting to Private Equity: His curiosity about business systems led him into consulting, then into private equity, where he focused on operating and improving businesses, not just closing deals. • Building Clearview Capital: He eventually left to start his own firm, driven by a desire to do things his way and build a founder-friendly investment platform. Early Challenges and Entrepreneurial Grit• No Backup Plan: James emphasized full commitment, believing that eliminating a safety net forces better outcomes. • Sleepless Nights: Early deals came with real pressure, financial risk, and uncertainty. • Persistence Wins: Success often comes to those who simply refuse to quit.A Different Approach to Private Equity• Growth Over Cost Cutting: Clearview focuses on investing in people, systems, and sales rather than slashing costs. • Founder-Friendly Model: They prioritize trust, rarely replace CEOs, and partner with founders to unlock growth. • Culture Matters: Many lower middle market businesses are underinvested but have strong cultures that can be scaled.What Makes a Great Investment• Unexploited Growth Opportunities: The best deals are not broken companies, but businesses with untapped potential. • Building Infrastructure: Adding financial leadership, sales capability, and operational systems drives scale. • Patience Pays: Real value creation takes time, often over a five-year horizon.Lessons From the Field• The Via Deal: A challenging early investment impacted by the dot-com crash, but ultimately turned into a successful exit through strategic reinvestment. • The Adult Daycare Platform: Built through 15 acquisitions over a decade, resulting in a 29x return.Leadership and Succession• Stepping Back After 25 Years: James shared the emotional and strategic complexity of transitioning out of the CEO role. • Multi-Year Process: Effective succession requires time, planning, and developing internal leaders. • Promote From Within: Building future leaders is one of the most important responsibilities of a CEO.Choosing the Right Partner• Not Just About Price: The best private equity partner is not always the highest bidder. • Do the Work: Founders should speak directly with other founders who have worked with the firm. • Trust and Alignment: The right partner can be worth far more than a higher valuation.Leadership Philosophy• Radical Honesty: Clear, direct communication builds trust and alignment across teams. • Know When Not to Act: Sometimes the best decision is allowing situations to resolve without intervention. • People First: Treating people well and investing in their growth drives long-term success.Final Thoughts• Private Equity at Its Best: When done right, it is about building, not breaking businesses. • Long-Term Value Creation: Systems, people, and culture create durable results.Send us Fan MailConnect with Kip on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kipknippel/Watch Bite-Sized Clips on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@capitalistculture/shorts

SMALL-CAP MARKET INTELLIGENCE — MARCH 26, 2026Defense, biotech, resources and critical minerals dominate today's small-cap tape with a wave of catalysts across nine companies.Defense & Technology Lead the ChargeDraganfly Inc. (DPRO) anchors today's session with a sweeping corporate update confirming $145 million in cash — nearly matching its current market cap — while flagging growing U.S. defense contracts, including a supply deal with Air Force Special Operations Command and a perfect score in the Secretary of War's Drone Dominance Program. Meanwhile, Nextech3D.ai (NTAR) announced the addition of Apple Pay and Google Pay to its blockchain ticketing stack, completing a mainstream-ready payment infrastructure that lets attendees buy verifiable on-chain tickets with no crypto knowledge required. The platform is now positioned for enterprise and government deployment across thousands of events.Biotech MilestoneQuantum BioPharma (QNTM) named Harvard-affiliated neurologist Dr. Salvatore Napoli as Principal Investigator for its planned Phase 2 trial of Lucid-MS, a first-in-class compound targeting demyelination in Multiple Sclerosis. Napoli brings over 20 years of clinical and research experience from the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. An FDA Investigational New Drug application is expected within weeks — a critical regulatory milestone before clinical evaluation can begin.Oil & Gas: Namibia in PlayReconAfrica (RECO) has commenced production testing at its Kavango West 1X discovery in Namibia, with updated petrophysical analysis boosting net hydrocarbon pay to 75 metres — up from 64 metres previously. Six zones spanning 345 metres of prospective interval will be tested using Halliburton and Schlumberger services, setting up a near-term production catalyst.Critical Minerals in FocusNouveau Monde Graphite (NOU) executed a binding long-form offtake framework with the Government of Canada for 30,000 tonnes per year of graphite concentrate from its Matawinie Mine in Québec — on a take-or-pay basis over a seven-year term. The deal complements US$335M in committed senior secured project debt from Export Development Canada and the Canada Infrastructure Bank, clearing a path to a positive Final Investment Decision. SAGA Metals (SAGA) acquired a 120-claim titanium project directly from Rio Tinto in Quebec's Havre-Saint-Pierre Anorthosite Complex — the same district as Rio Tinto's world-class Lac Tio operation — with grab samples returning 32.4% TiO₂, 65.1% Fe₂O₃ and 2,260 ppm vanadium. Antimony Resources (ATMY) continues to impress at its Bald Hill project in New Brunswick, where the newly discovered Marcus (West) Zone has expanded to 80 metres of exposed massive stibnite mineralization, resembling the main zone in concentration, while 6,500 of a planned 10,000-metre drill program is complete.Gold ShinesAton Resources (AAN) reported standout polymetallic results from Abu Marawat in Egypt's Eastern Desert, including 21.85 g/t Au, 178 g/t Ag, 0.55% Cu and 5.21% Zn over 20 metres — the kind of high-grade, multi-commodity intercept that underscores the deposit's strategic value. Omai Gold Mines (OMG) further cemented its Tier 1 credentials in Guyana with drill results of 7.74 g/t Au over 13.5m and 10.02 g/t Au over 5.4m at the Wenot deposit. With five rigs turning, an updated Mineral Resource Estimate expected within weeks, and a new geophysical drill target — "The Handle" — now underway, Omai continues to build scale rapidly.AGORACOM Small Cap Breaking News | agoracom.com
Grit isn't a personality trait — it's something you can build. In this episode, leadership expert Lara "LJ" Johnson breaks down how the "born with it or not" myth holds people back and what grit actually looks like in real life. You'll learn why the "muscle through" mentality fails most teams, why most people stay trapped in negative thought loops, and the tools that helped Lara survive life's toughest moments. Topics discussed: Introduction (00:00) From homelessness to rebuilding her life in the U.S. (01:35) Belief as the difference between quitting and finding a solution (07:37) The tragedy that inspired the Global Grit System (10:32) How the 54321 grounding technique saved her life (13:42) The aftermath: why she wrote
Ameriwest Critical Metals CEO David Watkinson talked with Proactive about the company's recent strategic shift into a broader critical metals portfolio, highlighting the acquisition of a high-grade copper, gold, and silver project in Oregon. Watkinson noted that the property, known as the Borate project, is one he worked on in the 1990s while at Plexus Resources, a company that later helped form Kinross Gold. He explained that the asset is a breccia pipe deposit with a high-grade copper shell and potentially minable lower-grade interior. “Some of the assays are, you know, as much as 6 or 8% copper,” Watkinson stated. He added that the ore body's vertical cigar-shaped geometry could be suitable for underground development and offers significant exploration upside, including the potential for additional breccia pipes or a porphyry system at depth. Watkinson also discussed Ameriwest's two lithium properties, including one being optioned to Pure Energy Metals—whose key backer is SLB (formerly Schlumberger)—and a rare earths project in northern British Columbia. While those assets remain part of the company's diversified portfolio, Watkinson confirmed that fast-tracking permitting on the Borate project will be the primary focus in 2026, capitalizing on U.S. government incentives for domestic critical minerals development. #proactiveinvestors #vric2026#AmeriwestCriticalMetals#CopperMining#CriticalMetals#DavidWatkinson#OregonMining#LithiumStocks#RareEarthMetals#MiningInvesting#ProactiveInvestors#JuniorMining

On this episode of the Energy News Beat Stand Up, I cover the key issues around Davos, Greenland, and some investing stories around Oil Field Service Companies, and why this is important.The main topics discussed in this podcast are:1. President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he promoted America's energy dominance and criticized policies like net zero emissions targets.2. The potential acquisition or deal regarding Greenland, which the host suggests could be called the “Green New Deal” as a joke.3. We give Newsom a shout-out as ourcriticism of California's energy policies and the potential energy crisis in the state has helped our numbers and new subscribers.4. Analysis of several oil and gas services stocks, including Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, and Liberty Energy.

Entre diplomatie au lasso et puces électroniques en folie, je vous débriefe cette première semaine où la logique a définitivement quitté la salle. Au menu cette semaine : Le Far West Vénézuélien : Trump prend le pouvoir à Caracas pour faire couler le pétrole. Qui encaisse ? Les "plombiers" Schlumberger et Halliburton, ainsi que les raffineurs comme Valero. La Prophétie de Jensen Huang : À Las Vegas, Nvidia sort "Vera Rubin". Résultat ? Une psychose sur la mémoire qui propulse Sandisk de 27 % en une séance. Défense & Énergie : Un tweet pour couler le secteur, un budget de 1 500 milliards pour le faire exploser. On tourne sa veste à la vitesse de la lumière. Le Paradoxe de l'Emploi : Seulement 50 000 jobs créés en décembre. C'est moche, mais Wall Street fête ça avec des records historiques parce que "Baisse des taux, nous voilà !". En Vrac : Le "Milk-Gate" de Nestlé dans 50 pays et le râteau monumental d'Alcon en Californie. Bilan : Le Dow, le S&P et le DAX sont au plus haut de tous les temps. La morale est en option, mais le profit est de série.

Wie auch unmittelbar nach der Panama-Operation im Jahr 1989, reagiert die Wall Street und die Ölpreise auf die US-Eingriffe in Venezuela zunächst gelassen. Aktien von Chevron, Exxon, Occidental und Schlumberger führen die Gewinnerlisten heute an. Allein Chevron ist für rund ein Drittel der aktuell täglichen Förderung von rund 900.000 Barrel verantwortlich und ist vorteilhaft positioniert. Optimismus, was eine kurze bis mittelfristige Ausweitung der Ölförderung Venezuelas betrifft, dürfte sich als zu früh entpuppten. BCA Research betont, dass Jahre hoher Investitionen notwendig seien. Außerdem steigt das Risiko, dass das wachsende Selbstbewusstsein Washingtons zu erhöhten Risikoprämien bei Öl führen wird. Vor allem dann, wenn es mit Iran zu einer erneuten Eskalation kommen sollte. Abseits der geopolitischen Entwicklungen, stehen vor allem die Tech-Werte im Fokus.

Space startups today look a lot like the internet in 1995 – early, chaotic, and packed with upside for the founders brave enough to build in the void. With VCs going all in on space, Techstars betting big on the category, and an entire industry quietly taking over venture capital, this is a moment founders can't ignore.In this episode of Demo Day, Techstars Space Managing Director Gabriel Schlumberger breaks down why “SPACE IS THE FUTURE” is more than a catchy thumbnail – it's an actual investing thesis. Gabriel explains how launch costs, new business models, and a surge of satellites are turning space into one of the most important frontier markets for startups and venture capital.Gabriel shares his journey from Pixar, Blue Sky, and Disney to becoming a founder himself, building an FDA‑regulated glasses startup for kids in the middle of a global pandemic, and then stepping into his role at Techstars Space. That experience across creative studios, corporate innovation, and true zero‑to‑one startup chaos shapes how he now evaluates founders and why he's so bullish on space companies.You'll learn:Why space today feels like the internet did in 1995, and what that means for startup timing and upside.How Techstars is betting big on space through its accelerator with NASA JPL and the U.S. Space Force.The trait Gabriel calls “pathological curiosity” and why it separates the best founders and VCs.What actually happens inside Techstars: mentor weeks, “give first” culture, and how a few teams get picked from hundreds of applicants.A real founder story: running a hardware and medical device startup through COVID, fundraising, manufacturing, and brutal unknowns.Whether you're a founder thinking about space, a SaaS builder curious about frontier markets, or an investor trying to understand the industry quietly taking over VC, this episode is a masterclass in how the next decade of startups will be built.
Paul Schatz is “sanguine and bullish” into the end of the year, saying it's hard to find negative catalysts in late December. However, he thinks 2026 will be “the worst year since 2022,” arguing that there won't be double-digit growth again, but it will still be a positive year overall. He likes SLB (SLB), formerly Schlumberger, as well as CF Industries (CF) and Veolia (VEOEF). On the small cap side, he highlights several ETFs.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Oil Ground Up podcast welcomes Doug Terreson to parse the dynamics of the chaotic and confusing current oil market. Terreson details his illustrious career path, which included drilling oil wells for Schlumberger, managing one of the world's largest energy funds on the buy side at Putnam, and managing the global energy group at Morgan Stanley and Evercore for 30 years. He explains how his research note, "The Era of the Super Major" (1998), spurred the industry's most significant consolidation phase since 1911 by forcing companies to pivot from growing production to a value-based model. This focus on value was reinforced by "The Pledge" in 2017, which mandated greater capital discipline, flat spending, and tying intrinsic value metrics to CEO pay. Discussing the present, Terreson analyzes the complex situation where fundamental analysis points to potentially massive inventory builds that have never been seen before. However, he suggests the market must also account for aggressive geopolitical currents, including a potential strategic push from the U.S. and allies that may be defunding three different global conflicts. Finally, Terreson shares his long-term view on the refining sector, recalling his profitable "Golden Age of Refining" call and asserting that utilization rates and margins are poised to rise again due to zero net growth in global refining capacity.

Bill Diggons, managing partner at Qittitut Consulting (yes, named after a fast-growing, healthy Inuit bear), shares 24 years of pricing wisdom earned across 182 projects in 57 countries. A disciple of pricing legend Tom Nagle and former oil industry marketer at Schlumberger and Halliburton, Bill reveals why single-column bids are leaving 3-5 margin points on the table and how tiering transforms B2B pricing. From Wagyu beef pricing psychology to semiconductor de-specification strategies, Bill and Mark debate whether prices should be easy or hard to compare, why "Boss Hog" beats techno-nerd names, and the counterintuitive power of ending prices in odd numbers instead of zeros. Plus, why Bill charges $5,000 extra just to read client contracts. Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover why tiering consistently delivers 3-5 margin points minimum—and how three-column bids with strategic naming force buyers to make trade-offs instead of price comparisons. Learn the "no zeros" pricing rule that generated $8 million in three months by making prices look carefully calculated rather than negotiable. Master the art of non-compliant RFP responses with alternatives that disrupt tender processes and win on value instead of lowest price. "Not profound, but no zeros on the quote. It's so often that we can get half a margin point just out of stuff like that. And then beyond that, try some naming and tiering because it's going to work for you." – Bill Diggons Topics Covered: 02:09 - The Qittitut Origin Story: Why a Dancing Bear Beat "Bill & Bob's Consulting". 05:39 - What is Tiering? Moving Beyond Single-Column Bids. 10:07 - The Restaurant Menu Masterclass and Boss Hog's Emotional Appeal - How to Decide What Features Go in What Tiers. 19:02 - Responding to RFPs with Tiered Alternatives and Non-Compliant Bids. 20:02 - The Power of "Networking Best Practices Meeting" vs. "Presentation". 26:23 - Final Advice: No Zeros on the Quote (And Why It Generated $8 Million). 28:12 - Contacting Bill and Why He Charges $5,000 to Read Contracts. Key Takeaways: "Tiering to me is having at least a three-column bid, naming the columns, and then having some names on the products or services to imply added value. Whenever we've introduced this, it always results in three to five margin points minimum." - Bill Diggons "I demand the right to segment that price to the outcome, the value the buyer gets. Even though the variable cost of the motor is identical, I want to be able to sell it at an economy price in a benign environment and at a premium price in an extreme environment because I put billions of dollars into creating this thing." - Bill Diggons People / Resources Mentioned: Tom Nagle: Author of "Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" - pricing authority who transformed Bill's approach in oil and gas. Schlumberger: Oil company where Bill worked in marketing. Halliburton: Oil company in Bill's background. QSales: Where Bill was practice leader for 20 years. A.T. Kearney, McKinsey, Deloitte: Consulting firms mentioned in the RFP rejection story where Bill's price was "too low". Starbucks: Referenced for tall, grande, venti tiering strategy. iPhone/Apple: Used as two examples - 99-cent pricing psychology AND customers not comparing to Huawei when upgrading. Huawei: Mentioned as iPhone competitor that iPhone users ignore when upgrading.

In this episode, Casey sits down with Ty Nielson and Tim Miller, the entrepreneurial duo behind Ninja Kids, for a candid masterclass on building creator-led experiences with heart, vision, and relentless execution. Fresh off a Tony Robbins immersion, they unpack how state, story, and strategy helped catalyze new habits and higher standards; and why the energy of an aligned community can flip limiting beliefs into bold action.Ty and Tim trace their path from shaping the trampoline park industry to founding Ninja Kids; along the way they learned that it's rarely a lack of resources, but a lack of resourcefulness that holds leaders back. Their time scaling hundreds of locations provided a front-row education in private equity, deal structure, and culture; lessons they'd later use to design on their own terms.They also share the scrappy stories that shaped the brand's creator partnership strategy; from pursuing real estate with nothing but conviction, to a chance introduction that led to the Ninja Kids collaboration and a new growth thesis. Expect takeaways on proximity as power, building wonder into product, modeling excellence, and leading so your people feel believed in.Chapters00:00 | Opening & Intros: Ninja Kids leadership00:41 | Tony Robbins: going “all in”01:52 | Shared values & why Sandlot invested03:58 | What a Tony event feels like (state → story → strategy)06:47 | The 55° room, physiology, and energy07:14 | Full-circle moment on Casey's plane10:08 | Community, permission to play big, and breakthroughs11:00 | Proximity is power: the billionaire story15:13 | Belonging, imposter syndrome, and belief17:15 | Dreaming bigger: from $20M to $1B vision17:46 | Shared values with investors & doing them proud19:50 | Theme of the journey: people who believe in you20:56 | Origins: missions in Russia & lifelong partnership27:06 | What Russians taught them about trust and loyalty29:29 | Ty's childhood in post-USSR Russia (Pepsi → Coke!)31:44 | The leap: from Schlumberger to “ringmaster” vision35:12 | Titles, vision, and chasing wonder36:20 | Modeling leaders; habits, gratitude, and wonderment41:08 | Designing for wonder: lighting, art, and moments45:46 | Scaling lessons: do your absolute best, be resourceful47:49 | It's not resources; it's resourcefulness54:14 | 300+ parks, private equity, and real-world MBA56:32 | Culture shock: when the magic dwindles58:21 | Fired → phone call → blessing → new chapter01:02:23 | Pattern recognition: rebrands vs. creators01:06:05 | Tesla saga to Chicago: conviction on wheels01:08:37 | Kindness compounds: the people who helped01:12:50 | Emergent strategy: buy tired parks, create energy01:14:01 | Non-competes, red tape, and 34-month realities01:16:35 | The Ninja Kids intro (thanks, Stevie from BYU)01:17:44 | First acquisition in Dallas & signing the PGs Hosted on Acast.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! In this episode, Ben Berggreen breaks down a high-conviction short opportunity in the energy space, triggered by a sudden shift in ISM sector data and weakening fundamentals in major oilfield service companies. Focusing on Schlumberger, he outlines a bearish calendar put spread targeting downside into earnings, with a 3:1 reward-to-risk profile. Ben also explores a broader macro angle, noting softening crude oil positioning among large speculators and offering an alternative, simpler XLE put play to capture a September–October market pullback. Both setups aim to combine macro, fundamental, and technical alignment for maximum edge. ITPM Flash Episode 86 A Slippery Slope with Ben Berggreen || Filmed 11-Aug-2025, Uploaded 14-Aug-2025 ||

For decades, hydraulic fracturing—or fracking—has relied heavily on water and sand to crack underground rock and release oil and gas. Fracking is safe, proven, and reliable, and in collaboration with horizontal drilling, has resulted in the huge growth in hydro carbon production in the US and Canada. But fresh water is a scarce resource particularly in arid settings, and in many places under stress because of climate change. Disposal of used water is a technical challenge and costly. The sand resource, or proppant, is both costly to mine and heavy to ship. The mechanical process of forcing water and sand under pressure down the wells and into the rock generates a substantial carbon footprint. Enter RocketFrac, a Calgary-based innovator using solid rocket fuel to crack the status quo. Unlike conventional fracking, RocketFrac's technology eliminates the need for water and sand, which dramatically lowers carbon emissions and site disturbance. This self-propping, solid-fuel-based technique also opens up economically stranded assets, including abandoned or underperforming wells, with potential applications in water-stressed regions like California and the Middle East. It's an innovation that could redefine the economics and environmental impact of oil extraction. In this episode I speak with Pavan Elapavuluri, Chief Technology Officer at RocketFrac, to hear firsthand about the origin of RocketFrac's solution, the physics behind the technology, its regulatory journey, and the digital tools they're using to model outcomes and rank well candidates. From carbon offsets to offshore potential, this episode is an explosive look at what could be the next big leap in oilfield operations. And yes, those puns are all intended! ⸻

We dive into the early struggles of being taken seriously as young founders, the organic evolution of Razorpay from a side project, and the philosophy behind choosing a B2B path when the world was chasing B2C valuations. Harshil also unpacks the real complexity behind payment systems, the rise of UPI, the regulatory ecosystem, and what the future of seamless, biometric-based payments looks like.Whether you're a fintech enthusiast, aspiring founder, or just curious about how India's digital economy was built—this episode is packed with stories, strategies, and sharp insights.About SparX by Mukesh BansalSparX is a podcast where we delve into cutting-edge scientific research, stories from impact-makers and tools for unlocking the secrets to human potential and growth.

SLB (SLB), formerly known as Schlumberger, missed on its latest earnings report. What makes this an overlooked stock, according to George Tsilis, is its importance to cyclicality in the oil and gas space.
