June 19, 2025 by PBOG

Welcome and salutations! We may be going into some tough times, not that we as Americans—or as members of the oil and gas community—haven’t had our share already. One topic that is prevalent in our industry and often skirted or glossed over is mental health. It is a given that our industry is a “dog […]

The NTSB estimated a total of nearly 24 million flight hours in 2007, when 6.84 of every 100,000 flight hours yielded an airplane crash while 1.19 of every 100,000 yielded a fatal crash. This was down from an all-time high of 9.08 accidents per 100,000 hours in 1994. It is an old statistic that I’m […]

Taking Carbon Captive

May 12, 2025 by PBOG

April 14, 2025 by PBOG

You are probably aware that the water problem in the Permian Basin is dire—it is the desert, after all. But the issue isn’t so seemingly obvious. Of course, as a natural resource, water is scarce in the Permian, and that is an issue that in itself places constraints on growth and development. But that is […]

Let’s Go Hunting!

April 10, 2025 by PBOG

Throughout the years, numerous policies and procedures have been developed to increase safety awareness and improve workplace safety. Ideas come and go based on needs, studies, and action plans.
