Summer Rocks 23: Allen Lazenby Jr.

Allen Lazenby Jr. is a true contrarian, a person who opposes popular opinion and made a career out of it!

Wichita Falls 2023: Dr. Jonathan Price Midwestern State

We got to be at the SWS AAPG Annual Convention this year in Wichita Falls. What a great history, great community, and a great time - Enjoy this show with Dr. Jonathan Price, Chair & Prothro Distinguished Professor of Geological Science at Midwestern State University. More on Dr. Price below!

I study mass and energy transfer in the Earth's interior, assessing chemical signals in rocks to understand partial melting, crystallization, and alteration processes. I am keenly interested in the nature and origin of high-temperature systems closely associated with magmatism (volcanoes and plutons). I have applied these techniques to diverse systems such as the Adirondack Mountains of New York, the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, the Seridó Fold Belt of Brazil, and the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma.

I encourage student involvement in my research endeavors. I am an active member of MSU's successful UGROW program where undergraduate students engage in research during the Summer I term.

Specialties: Mineral and rock identification and petrology; pore space and geometry assessment; fluid-rock interactions; application and maintenance of X-ray and optical spectrometry and diffractometry, and electron and polarized optical microscopy;
Intranetworking and webhosting; virtual instrumentation

Geolog Event: Pablo Perez Founder and President of Bardasz

We had a great time sitting down with Pablo and talk about data generation at the wellsite! Here’s a little more about the man in the show -

In every crisis, opportunity awaits those who prepare for it, so this is the time to get to work. When the petroleum business cycle rebounds, you need to be positioned ahead of your competitors.

My name is Pablo Perez, and I am ready to manage your project from start to completion.

With 20 years’ experience in the oil and gas business, I have the know-how to help my clients tap new sources of oil revenue, especially in the international market. I pursue projects until I achieve my client’s ultimate goal through hard work and operating under strict business ethics.

As the world’s business markets expand, it is important to navigate the diverse cultures with their different languages and work structures. I have worked successfully in the international community, especially in Mexico, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. More than a sales agent, companies need a business partner like me who understands what it takes to operate successfully in foreign environments.

I create the necessary processes to get projects up and running and take your requirements into consideration in order to maximize ROI. I also know whom to talk to and whom to trust in foreign locations.

My track record includes a project I did for a wellsite data management company, for whom I was hired to develop their Latin American market. That company does drilling operations in real-time and hired me to generate accounts with expectations of bringing in $50,000 a month. I produced revenue between $500,000 and $1 million a month over 10 years.

One of my biggest projects was with Pemex in Mexico. I negotiated and signed a framework agreement allowing my customer to provide a wide range of services, enabling us to go from $0 to $25 million a year. I also assisted in showing the success with Pemex to help land other big contracts with NOCs like Saudi Aramco.

If those are the kinds of results you are looking for, contact me via email at pablo.perez@bardasz.com.
