The One Where Chris Holcomb Tells Us About Compression Opportunities On Marginal Wells

Lets face it... we all have unreliable wells from liquid loading or high line pressures BUT this doesn't have to be the status quo!  There is a ton of opportunity with well head compression like Chris Holcomb with 7 Compression explains.  The narrative has historically been "Lower LOE!!!" so compression gets put on the back burner. Let's change that narrative to a value based conversation through testing marginal wells with compressors like 7 Compression AND if the economics are there... put it on full time compression and make some $$$

The One Where Jesse Smith Shows Us The Ropes On Scaled Plunger Lift Optimization

Every E&P is trying to scale optimization and reap the benefits of more reliably high well performance BUT how do you tangibly do it!? Jesse Smith is THE guy to listen to for this! Not only has he patented plungers but he has lead optimization teams across basins you probably operate too! Listen in as we talk about the fundamentals needed for plunger optimization, methods to align stakeholders, and how to achieve scaled optimization.  Jesses runs Optimal Production Solutions, where he can help you accomplish your Plunger Optimization Goals!  You can find information on his Co. @ https://www.optimal-production.com/

The One Where the Mason Brothers Break Down Gas Lift & Plunger Lift Operations

Gas lift alone is hard to optimally produce but what about when you put a plunger in the well? Do the rules of the game change?  Clint & Kelly Mason with Kaizen Well Solutions dive into the opportunities around GL troubleshooting & GAPL/PAGL Operations!

The One With Pod2- Making Work Not Suck

Most Co's don't have a meaningful vision- not Pod2! In their efforts to make work enjoyable they have found the appropriate balance of process & technology to help employees have better days.  An easy way to do this... is take the crap off their plate that does not use their skills, critical thinking, is repetitive & time consuming.

The One With Shawn Dawsey- Rod Pump Extraordinaire

Whats the best way to economically operate, troubleshoot, and optimize a rod pump?  Shawn with Downhole Diagnostics gives us, what I believe, to be the most logical & experience based approach to do so.   You may have heard of "If you ain't bumpin', you ain't pumpin." Well, Shawn busts this myth and many more on the best practices for rod pump.  Shawn is quite possible one of just a few experts out there in industry who know their shit from both the technical theory side & field experience. This harmony is what leads to some insights you have to hear about!
