Oil and Gas Global Network

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini who a buyer should hire for a job in oil and gas. A completions program. Produced-water handling. A gas-processing dedication. Power for a data center. You get back the same handful of big names almost every time, and most of the companies actually fighting for that work never come up. I got curious enough about this to stop guessing and measure it. A few weeks of running real buyer questions past the assistants and reading what came back.

A procurement lead at an operator has a short list to build. Ten years ago she’d have called three people she trusts and run a Google search.

Hosted by Kailey Euceda. The Energy Basket Podcast focuses on industry problems within a systemic framework. The weave of the basket carries its distributed load. The hinge points are the cross hatches where unmitigated circumstances can overwhelm interconnected systems.

Drive across northern Pennsylvania today and it’s easy to believe the Marcellus Shale has settled down. The endless lines of water trucks are fewer, drilling rigs don’t dominate the skyline the way they once did, and the daily headlines announcing another wave of permits have largely faded. To someone watching from the outside, it might appear the industry has reached its peak and is slowly winding down. That assumption couldn’t be further from the truth.

Somewhere in your organization, a capable manager is about to put an AI tool into a workflow that touches a material decision — a reserves narrative, a maintenance call, a trading input, a hiring screen — and the approval for it will be an email thread, not a board decision. That is the gap. Most energy companies have a rigorous process for approving a new drilling program or a capital lease, and almost no process for approving software that quietly participates in the same judgments.

Most energy companies that lose a deal blame the same three things: price, timing, or the incumbent. Almost none of them blame the real one, because the real one is harder to look at. They lost because the buyer didn’t trust them yet, and nothing in their sales and marketing was built to earn that trust before the decision got made.

Pennsylvania quietly reached a milestone this month that deserves more attention than it received. With the latest distribution of Act 13 revenue, the Commonwealth has now returned more than $3.12 billion in impact fee payments to counties, municipalities, and state programs since the law took effect in 2012. This year’s distribution alone totaled nearly $244 million, driven by higher natural gas prices and an increase in new unconventional wells.
