Talking Dust with Dusty

February 18, 2021 by PBOG

This month’s topic is absolutely pertinent and timely. Normally it is a sleep-inducer of a topic, the reason being that its ramifications are long term, as opposed to short term—and short term ramifications generally attract greater attention. Silica and silicosis have been an issue in the oilfield and construction industries for quite some time. Largely […]

In with the New

January 21, 2021 by PBOG

Happy New Year! I am certainly glad 2020 is in the rear-view mirror. I only wish this COVID-19 (Corona virus) was in the rear-view mirror as well. So, greetings and salutations. To say that 2020 was a strange and tough year is like calling Moby Dick a guppy. If you are reading this, I hope […]

Let the Sun Shine In

September 21, 2020 by PBOG

Historically, the word “environmental” in the oil patch has had the connotation of inconvenience, hassle, and extra cost. Today, several things are converging to change that narrative—ESG has made it more necessary and technology has made it more user-friendly.

Risk

September 17, 2020 by PBOG

From the inception of the oilfield, risk has been a part of the business. Most everyone agrees that the first oil well in the world was drilled by Colonel Edwin Drake in Pennsylvania in 1859, a whopping 21 meters in depth, which equals 68’ 10”.

September 14, 2020 by PBOG
