Great Podcast, always download your episodes before flying to work on the North Slope. Question for you guys, with the market where it is and a ban on federal lands, do we see a huge shortage in supply coming within a year that also cannot keep up with the rise in demand? Having a 50% shale decline rate and the decreased drilling activity over the last year how is the US and rest of the world going to maintain production at a healthy rate as we get back to 100 million bbl of consumption a day? Will this not send our bbl price through the roof? Thanks guys, hopefully I can get to one of yalls events soon! Cheers Chan Poonian, Big Red Army!

hello, I have been meaning to leave a review since 2017 but just never got around to doing it. I used to be a chemical engineer working for an oilfield service provider, I wanted to switch to a business related role (still within industry) but I only had engineering knowledge and experience. I started listening to your podcast to learn about what is going on in the industry (business, geopolitical unrest and industry drivers). In 2017 I successfully landed a role in strategy and I was told that what set me apart from the other candidates was my knowledge on the various digital activities going on within the sector. I first heard about that from you guys and did more research into it. One year later, still listening to your podcasts, I landed a job in one the IOCs (super majors) as a business development advisor; I saved myself so much money because I was told that in order for me to make that switch I had to do an MBA. So I just wanted to say thank you for this podcast because it helpe
