Chuck Yates Needs A Job

Chuck stumbles into one of his most unhinged stories yet, something about a Russian defector named Kitcha, some midnight phone calls, a secret energy weapon, and oh yeah… Greta Thunberg might be Putin’s biggest problem? It’s part spy thriller, part geopolitical fever dream, and 100% classic Chuck chaos. There’s technetium, there’s nuclear waste, there’s even a voicemail or two that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about climate activists and global energy. Buckle up, this one’s wild.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

The Jones Act has been messing with American shipping for over a century, driving up costs, stifling competition, and forcing bizarre workarounds, like Hawaii importing oil from Africa instead of Texas. Chuck sits down with Colin Grabow from the Cato Institute to break down how this outdated law makes everything from groceries to gas more expensive, why it costs a mind-blowing $333M to build a U.S. ship when the same one costs $55M overseas, and what can actually be done about it. If you like policy takedowns with a side of sarcasm, this one’s for you.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

From scrubbing tanks in Indiana to leading an energy company, Matt Gallagher’s story is anything but boring. He’s seen it all—booms, busts, wild innovations, and even a UFO (or maybe just Starlink?) from a hot tub in Colorado. We get into the early days of horizontal drilling, what it was like growing Parsley Energy during the shale boom, and where he sees U.S. oil production headed next. Plenty of laughs, plenty of insight, and maybe even a conspiracy theory or two—this one’s got it all.Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

Scott Sheffield—oil industry legend or convenient scapegoat? The FTC sure has opinions, and so does Russell Gold. Chuck sits down with the Texas Monthly senior editor to unpack the wild allegations that Sheffield was secretly cozying up to OPEC. Was the guy who helped turn the Permian into an oil superpower really playing both sides, or is this just another case of regulators picking a high-profile target? They dig into Sheffield’s legacy at Pioneer, the politics of energy regulation, and why industry leaders always seem to end up in the hot seat. Plus, a look at how Texas Monthly is helping bring the oil world to Hollywood with Taylor Sheridan’s new series, *Landman.*https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

And to make it even more special, we went on location and recorded it in Dealey Plaza.  See the Grassy Knoll, the Triple Overpass, the Texas Book Depository, where the Umbrella Man and Dark Complexed Man sat, where Zapruder stood, where Howard Brennan was, the Sniper’s Nest.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

From the wild art of wrangling a 100% payout farm out deal to the gritty realities of Val Verde Basin operations, this episode is packed with the good, the bad, and the hilariously accurate of oil and gas life. We’re pulling back the curtain on what the show gets right (and where it completely misses the mark), with real stories about stubborn landowners, dicey field security, and those high-stakes private banking chats that could make or break a deal. It’s all here, served with a healthy dose of Midland charm and a side of sharp commentary.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

Chuck chats with the GOAT oil research analyst Doug Terreson about his new book Can’t Deny It, recounting his days at Schlumberger, Morgan Stanley and Evercore ISI. Doug made three of the greatest calls in the energy business if not all investing. “Era of The Super Majors”, “The Golden Age of Refining” and “The Pledge” are amazing stories of doing the fundamental research and bucking the Wall Street consensus. And of course he begged the oil price collapse in 2008 when the rest of Wall Street was predicting $200 oil. This is a must listen for any investor.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

James Kostohyrz argues there’s a real chance that Israel and Iran are going to war.  Like bombs and missiles.  Real war. If so, what’s Iran’s first move?  Shut down the Strait of Hormuz and immediately block 20% of the world’s oil production.  Oh crap.  What would that mean for oil prices?   It’s a scary yet possible scenario we are facing.  Horrifying with huge ramifications for oil prices.  James argues it’s not priced into today’s crude prices.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

You’ve probably heard me complain about the lack of content creation by energy folks. The reach of the internet and social media is vast and can truly turn your world from an “outbound” cold call approach to a content driven “inbound” program. And we have amazing stories to tell in energy, fascinating, cool stories. But we don’t tell them, we let environmentalist define the narrative. That said, one dude is bucking that trend. My guy Steven Hatcher has been crushing it on social media with his videos and building his personal brand as The Minerals Guy. He literally has people calling him, wanting to sell him their minerals. Cool chat about building a brand and we also geek out on the minerals business these days. https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

I wanted to hear about Bryan and Max’s recent merger so I had them on to tell me all about it.  Bryan’s company Aegis is a leader in hedging advisory for commodities; Max’s company Ancova has a leading technology platform and strong marketing expertise in the physical markets.  I’m always skeptical of deals that seem like perfect fits, tons of synergies, asset-less but people based businesses.  But this merger seems to have really worked.  Cool discussion on culture, fit and complementary skill sets.  And of course, having Bryan and Max on, we geeked out on a lot of energy trends  - nukes, AI, electricity demand, heck we even chatted about campus protests and the media.  These guys are great. https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.
