The Ones in the Middle

May 11, 2020 by PBOG

With the slowdown in drilling due to several issues, including quarantines related to the coronavirus, combined with frantic construction of pipelines over the last four years, pipeline shortages may soon be over. A trade agreement with China, which had promised to jumpstart petroleum exports to that country, has been dampened by that same virus due […]

Midstream’s Shifting Course

December 16, 2019 by PBOG

For the first 150 years of the oil industry, rig counts were a strong predictor of imminent production levels and, hence, midstream takeaway capacity needs. One rig punched one hole.

November 18, 2019 by PBOG

By Paul Wiseman To be a Basin business and be a mere four years old and have almost 100 employees—this is not the typical track for a Permian startup of recent vintage. But at Van Zandt Controls, Larry Richards and team have focused small to grow big. The news is always full of stories of […]

Playing Catchup

November 1, 2018 by PBOG

Of oil and gas’s three industry sectors—upstream, midstream, and downstream—midstream has been where the action’s at in 2018, and it’s driving decisions in both upstream and downstream as well. By Paul Wiseman Anyone who has ever held the business end of a garden hose while someone else—around the corner and out of sight—controlled the faucet […]

Getting the Resources Gone

November 15, 2017 by PBOG

Takeaway is what the midstream sector is all about. Getting the crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids away from the wellheads and on their way to the processing plants. Sounds simple, but it’s a world unto itself, and it’s a world that’s undergoing dramatic change. by Jesse Mullins The upstream sector has its […]

The Downturn-Resistant Middle

November 2, 2015 by PBOG

By Paul Wiseman   In spite of the precipitous fall in oil prices and the contingent drop in rig counts, production, particularly in the Permian Basin, is still at record levels as wells drilled in the last five years continue to produce.
