Ultimate Goals: Increase Production Reduce Operating Cost Safer Work Environment
Looking for Efficiency and New Relationships Through AI, ML, Iot
The Big Drivers
- Efficient management of 1000’s
- f wells instead of the usual 50-
100 brought about by the Shale Revolution
- Safety and HSE Concerns driven
by increased activity and the advent of the Crew Change
Capital Markets are Demanding a Return on Investment
Even Government is Involved!! $40 Million Dollar 4 year Research JV with Industry
The Biggest Challenge ???
The Biggest Challenge to Change
The Old School Way of Doing Things
“Get ready for the Big Crew Change”
Drive the Message with HSE and Safety
The Message and Top 10 Ideas to Weather The Storm
- Be aggressive in the down markets- be open and flexible
- Be inquisitive and keep connected to Professional
Societies- GSA, AAPG, NABG, SEG
- Get a plan and a strategy but be ready to “morph”
- Consider furthering your education
- Get a Mentor ( and be one too!)
- Partner with those who compliment your experience
- Value your reputation more than your money
- Schedule your time so you give back to others
- Try something new ( International ) It may lead to
bigger things!
- Jump on Board the Technology Train
Bright Areas Now!
- Natural Gas- We will see a shortage
- Oil and Gas Storage- Where can I store over supply?
- Reservoir engineering
- Emerging Technologies that Reduce Opex
- AI ML Iot
- Health Safety and Environment
- Water Resources
- Rare Earth Element Identification and extraction
- Hybrid Power systems that combine renewables with
Natural Gas
- Geology + Engineering; MBA; GIS; Law; Regulatory Affairs
- International - Jobs in your home countries
- Government- National Labs-BLM-MMS-DOE

- Do what ever it takes to stay in the field
- Don’t give up
- Things will definitely get better
- Be there when recovery starts
For a protracted downturn
Be……..
Prepared
The Future ?
- Oil and gas prices will recover
- Access to qualified people
gets tighter
- Wind, solar, bio fuels will play
important but still a relatively small part of energy supply
- Climate change will play an
important role in future energy development
- Ai ML and IOT will bring
- perational efficiency
