  • A disruptor in the best way

    This podcast is revolutionary for a number of reasons: first, there is nothing like its kind on the Internet. To have the best or factfinder’s, engineers, petrophysicists, etc. all in one location on one podcast… What more can you ask for? Secondly, the hosts are inquisitive knowledgeable and challenge the accepted norm. Too many “experts“ in our field accept historical data as truths without ever questioning it, causing our industry to stagnate and stymie independent thought. This podcast is a ... more
