Read MoreURTeC is an Unconventional focused conference that happens once a year and it never disappoints. The folks at this event are dedicated to the idea that we can generate a lot of value from a part of the geologic system that for most of the history of oil and gas, the operators never thought could really work… We’re they wrong? or we’re they right? Time will tell, and until then, we’re going to be at this event talking with Dr. Susan Nash every single year! She is an innovator herself and someone that keeps a close watch on emerging sciences and technologies that are developing from the professionals working the unconventional reservoirs.
Read MoreThis episode is with an entrepreneur! Founder of Integrity insitu, a downhole geomechanical tool that can help constrain your regional and local stresses and strains in the rocks for many applications. His resilience is inspirational and the technology really got us thinking! Every rock on the planet is a record of time, the magic is figuring out what the strains were during the time of deposition AND what the current day stresses and strains are. Align these in your interpretation and you should be able to increase your probability of getting control of your frack heights, widths, and preferential directions. This is an essential data set to collect when developing and optimizing a field.
Read MoreIn the last 20 years, the rise and what some would say the fall of the unconventional resource play has happened. Who seen it coming? Not anyone that we know AND, the plays are not dead yet! We learned a lot about the rocks and how to explore and exploit the fluids in them. It’s a rising time in the industry globally, what will we see? Will the money merge, major acquisitions? Where are they going to go with the money, offshore, or onshore? We get to talk about all these ideas and especially what Canada has to say about all this!
Read MoreZircons are a key physical material to the Earth's past... Like, the beginning of Earth!

We also dove into the subject of MagmaChem, where it started, and some of the basics of how we use the models to explore natural resources. Lew has a Ph. D out of the Colorado School of Mines, he is someone to reach out to if you’re in Colorado and want to get involved with the societies and what’s happening in the mining and metals world.
