How the Workforce Shapes Up

August 20, 2020 by PBOG

What’s it like working in the environment of 2020 and possibly beyond? In 1972 the Rolling Stones issued an album called Exile on Main Street, with a song called “Ventilator Blues.” Its chorus varies, but the first time through it says: Ain’t nobody slowing down no way Everybody’s stepping on their accelerator Don’t matter where […]

Safety: Let’s Have a Meeting!

August 20, 2020 by PBOG

Greetings and salutations! It is my sincere hope that by the time this edition hits the press that the price of oil has crept back up and everyone has started ramping back up! Between the coronavirus, the quarantine, riots, and the Saudis and Russians seeing who can drop the prices the fastest, it has been […]

Riding the 2020 Emotional Rollercoaster

August 10, 2020 by PBOG

Well, at the end of June, nearing $40/bbl for the price of oil sure feels better than nearing $10/bbl. While it’s not the $55/bbl that we enjoyed pre-“Double Whammy,” (Covid-19 and Price War) it is much better than we experienced in the month of May, when realized prices for many were in the $17/bbl range […]

Hire to Retire: Be Prepared

August 6, 2020 by PBOG

Times have changed, and less is more. In July, I wrote about bringing back your employees to either full employment or from working from home. We have all learned that not everyone has to be physically present to get their jobs done. In that light, I would guess that commercial real estate is going to […]

Changing with the Times

August 3, 2020 by PBOG

The decade of 2010 opened to a “black gold rush” built upon horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, drawing in a flood of investment money of all kinds. Investors dreamed of funding an unlimited Christmas list for producers and service companies alike, asking only that the list be used to expand the company so it could […]

“Buy American”

July 27, 2020 by PBOG

Well, at the writing of this article things are looking much better than over the last two months, as many states are “opening up” and the Covid-19 statistics are not changing dramatically. It appears the worst of the pandemic is behind us. We’ve survived a lot. We’ve survived weeks of full quarantine. We’ve survived negative […]

Employee Legal Disputes, and How to Avoid Them

July 23, 2020 by PBOG

I have a forum to write about crucial Human Resource (HR) topics, or shall I say, people topics that may allow your organization to avoid unwanted employee legal disputes as well as provide some helpful hints for you. It is May 16, 2020, and I am writing this article for the July 2020 issue. What […]

Data Security: Staying a Step Ahead

July 13, 2020 by PBOG

Any conversation with a corporate IT or cybersecurity person very quickly includes the phrase “It’s not if, but when and how bad” when the topic is the likelihood of being hacked. Employing good security measures in hardware, software, and the most important factor—people—does provide great protection. But, like Luke Skywalker slipping a bomb into a […]

No Time to Back off Safety

July 9, 2020 by PBOG

As companies start recovering from the coronavirus debacle and the major downturn due to oil prices, the time has come to focus on rebuilding a sustainable business, especially in the field of safety. Some companies just continue to rebuild following the same philosophies and principles that have been carried on for years. It is a […]

Natural Gas: What’s Next?

July 6, 2020 by PBOG

Can natural gas prices rise even in a generational downturn like the COVID-19 situation? Analysts including the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) feel that prices were already so low that they had nowhere to go but up anyway. In the Permian Basin in particular, gas prices were artificially low due to takeaway constraints. Such constraints […]
