Mark E. Thompson has been a professional geologist for 45 years. From the trees of Wisconsin to the plains of Texas, the mining and oil and gas geology stories did not disappoint! This man has spent a career drilling the serpentine mounds around South Texas and we believe there are more discoveries to be made! We’re just starting to understand the geology of serpentinization and we’re now applying it to the real world. Let the elephant hunting begin for the new era of energy! What a show this was to start off our new journey of PBE podcasts from the famous river of San Antonio.

This is an introduction to the Ultra-Deep Hydrothermal model brought to you by MagmaChem Research Institute. These are not just ideas, they have been tested and proven, and we believe will be a foundation for the next generation of resource exploration. From kids to retired individuals, let’s think about the Earth in a whole new way!!

Our co-host of the podcast Matt “The Skips” Scipione is getting a Ph.D. in Australia and we’re bringing in the new Earth model to help make discoveries. LETS GOOOOOOOO

There is no end without a beginning, and there is no celebration without winning! Skips is in Australia and we’re going to document every step of the way on his journey of truth and discovery pursuing a Ph.D. in Geology. LETS GOOOOOOOOO!! Our advisers during this journey will be the legends themselves, Monte Swan and Stain Keith from the MagmaChem Research institute. The geology will never be the same down under!

TEDrv was the talk of the Geomark booth for 2022! Adam Turner, Ph.D, took the time to sit down and talk with us at the booth this year. We talk about his career and drive as a geochemist, but also about time-lapse geochemistry from production. What’s actually changing in the hydrocarbon markers while producing a well on your lease? Where are you actually getting your oil from and how do you get more of it, or isolate it and go after a different zone? Geomark is here to help you figure that out and optimize your production. Engineers, geologists, landmen, accountants, and CEOs all should be very interested in this company and this data to better optimize their assets!

Dr. Toti Larson is a Research Associate and Principal Investigator of the Mudrock Systems Research Laboratory (MSRL) consortium at the University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology. As PI of the MSRL since 2019, Toti coordinates with Energy companies to identify knowledge gaps and develop subsurface geology characterization projects that leverage the MSRL research team strengths. In his own research Toti applies geochemistry, geology, and machine learning tools to develop predictive subsurface characterization models. Toti built a Python package (CorePy) for open source sharing of subsurface characterization tools and geological characterization workflows he has developed.

We have now some history with Bryan McDowell and the Sabata Energy Consultants! These folks are the real deal when it comes to oil and gas geology data. Logs, core, seismic, cuttings, rock-eval, all of it! If the data exists in your area, they know it and can help you get it! As we celebrated 10,000,000 records in the database because of Geomark’s footprint added to the already robust database. LETS GOOOOO!
