Have a Game Plan

May 18, 2023 by PBOG

Today I will be making an analogy to the sport of football. It is one of the most popular sports in the Permian Basin. Most companies, large or small, evaluate their respective effectiveness as a safe company once a year. Traditionally it is after the Christmas season and the start of the new year in […]

Balancing Act

May 8, 2023 by PBOG

Drilling a well in any oil formation actually produces three things: Oil, natural gas (and associated liquids), and water. All of it must go somewhere on its way to processing, disposal, or reuse. As those ratios change, apportioning the midstream capacity can be a moving target, especially when those investment decisions and construction windows involve […]

To Weather the Storms

April 17, 2023 by PBOG

The saying about the weather—if you don’t like it, just wait a minute, it’ll change—has become interchangeable with oil prices. Actually, oil prices tend to change even if you do like the current ones. The last two years have pelted the industry with everything from the tornadoes of negative prices to the sunshine of triple […]

Document and Verify

April 6, 2023 by PBOG

For the last three years of writing for this publication, I’ve yet to run out of things to say! Isn’t that a typical safety person? That was a rhetorical question—you don’t have to answer that. As I’ve stated throughout the years, safety has become litigation driven. If it is not documented, it didn’t happen. At […]

The More Things Change…

March 13, 2023 by PBOG

by Paul Wiseman   Like everyone in the industry, the oilfield services sector has ridden waves of change over the last three years. Some companies, like EV Oilfield Services, actually expanded during the Pandemic. Others, like Florida-based Lightning Master, weathered the storm and has grown significantly since then.   Pandemic? What Pandemic? EV Oilfield Services, […]

Encouragement Matters

March 2, 2023 by PBOG

It is an unfortunate reality that the danger in our industry of oil and gas is not limited to our locations, jobs, or even our commutes. Aside from the workplace and the traffic, the tentacles of danger have crept into our industry in the form of mental unrest and stress by social, financial, and overall […]

Life on the Wire

February 20, 2023 by PBOG

“It’s super competitive.” Those were the first words out of the mouth of Max Killingsworth, a wireline professional working in the Permian Basin, when asked what conditions are like for wireline companies trying to maintain market share in the ever-bustling Basin. Killingsworth is Operations Manager for Unconventional in the Odessa District for KLX Energy Services. […]

Deliver Excitement and Gain Results!

February 16, 2023 by PBOG

Greeting and salutations! Here’s hoping that this month brings milder weather, higher oil prices, and good fortune to all in the oil and gas industry. Have you ever seen the movie Ferris Bueller’ Day Off? It was a hit show in 1986 and it had numerous memorable cameos and fun scenes that make the film […]

Based on True Fiction

January 19, 2023 by PBOG

Greetings and salutations! In lieu of the non-popularity of our industry by the current Administration, I wanted to take this opportunity to lighten things up a bit. Most safety professionals, when asked if they would like to say a few words, ought to respond realistically by saying, simply, “No.” We seldom have a few words. […]

Pumping Black Gold

January 16, 2023 by PBOG

With the spread of horizontal drilling around 2013-15, the artificial lift landscape began to change. For almost 100 years most wells had started the production phase with a beam pump (pumpjack) and finished with the same. Horizontal wells are a more complex beast, as production levels drop significantly over a well’s life. Changing production levels […]
