Do More with Less: The New Standard for Oilfield Workflows – with Philip Richard of Porosity

Why Oilfield Digital Pilots Fail... And How Sensia Is Changing the Game

Oil and gas companies are drowning in data and stalled pilots. In this conversation with Sensia’s Eric Fidler, we unpack why digital initiatives fail, how edge-to-enterprise automation works, and what operators can do differently. For mid-market leaders and engineers looking to scale automation without losing domain knowledge, this episode delivers a clear view of where the industry is headed and the practical steps required to get there. Eric Fidler has worked in more than 100 countries and brings a rare blend of field experience, global perspective, and technical depth. From the rise of real-time edge intelligence to why U.S. operators lag behind in tech adoption, this is the playbook for building smarter, more resilient operations. Listen for insights on: • Why most pilots never scale • The data trust gap inside oil and gas • How Sensia blends SLB’s domain expertise with Rockwell’s automation • The role of edge controllers in real-time optimization • How mid-market operators can afford modern automation • Why preserving knowledge matters more than ever • The future of AI inside production workflows See more Wisdom at the Wellhead: @WisdomAtTheWellhead [https://www.youtube.com/@UCGKttjBg3wiEAOxdtAapIIA] For business inquiries: WisdomW@totalstream.com

The Hidden Economy of Trust in Oil & Gas – With Claude Thorp of NTG

Presented by New Tech Global and Total Stream Systems. (Links Below) From his first rig before age ten to leading New Tech Global’s upstream teams, Claude Thorp has spent five decades proving that trust is still the strongest currency in oil and gas. In this episode of Wisdom at the Wellhead, Claude joins Jeff Dyk and Kevin Fischer to share how great partnerships build great companies — and why relationships, not contracts, keep the best projects moving. From building teams that scale to collaborating with firms like Total Stream, SLB, and Baker Tilly, Claude explains how culture, consistency, and connection define lasting success. This is a conversation about what truly endures — people, trust, and the legacy you leave behind. Watch, learn, and be reminded why trust is the foundation of every great oilfield story. 📽️ Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomAtTheWellhead 📬 Business inquiries: WisdomW@totalstream.com [WisdomW@totalstream.com] https://ntgauburn.com/ - New Tech Global (NTG) — staffing, environmental, and project/asset management solutions built for energy. https://totalstream.com/ - Total Stream Systems — end-to-end operational intelligence: unify production, asset, and financial data for faster, smarter decisions.

Do More with Less: The New Standard for Oilfield Workflows – with Philip Richard of Porosity

Presented by New Tech Global and Total Stream Systems. (Links Below) In this video, Porosity CEO Philip Richard joins Wisdom at the Wellhead to show how operators are moving from spreadsheet chaos to guided mobile workflows—and seeing real returns. In this conversation we break down practical workflow automation for LDAR, maintenance, and safety; why clean, human-verified field data must come first; and how simple, oilfield-specific UX unlocks adoption across lease operators and production teams. Philip shares concrete outcomes from recent deployments, including cutting data-entry time by about 50%, reducing errors by 90%, shrinking average leak-repair cycles from a week and a half to a day, and collapsing annual regulatory reporting from a month of work to a single click. We also discuss what investors actually want to hear about AI in oil and gas, why efficiency will define the next decade, and career wisdom for young engineers who want to build something that lasts. https://ntgauburn.com/ - New Tech Global (NTG) — staffing, environmental, and project/asset management solutions built for energy. https://totalstream.com/ - Total Stream Systems — end-to-end operational intelligence: unify production, asset, and financial data for faster, smarter decisions.

Rise of Automation in Oil & Gas - A Talk w/Robert Wichert

Presented by New Tech Global and Total Stream Systems. (Links Below) The oilfield is changing faster than ever — automation, AI, SCADA, and real-time data are rewriting the rules. In our first episode of Wisdom at the Wellhead, hosts Jeff Dyk and Kevin Fischer sit down with Robert Wichert, CEO of Cougar Energy, to talk about building a truly automated oil company from the ground up. Robert shares his 40+ years of upstream experience, why integration between engineering and finance is critical, and how Cougar is using platforms like Quorum, OpenInvoice, and Sensia’s Avalon to connect the technical with the financial. From U.S. Gulf Coast plays to international ventures in Latin America and Africa, Cougar is showing how automation and data can scale companies without bloated overhead. If you want to understand where the future of oil and gas is headed — from predictive maintenance to AI-driven decline curve analysis — this episode sets the tone. https://ntgauburn.com/ - New Tech Global (NTG) — staffing, environmental, and project/asset management solutions built for energy. https://totalstream.com/ - Total Stream Systems — end-to-end operational intelligence: unify production, asset, and financial data for faster, smarter decisions. 📽️ Watch more episodes and clips here: https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomAtTheWellhead 🌐 Learn more: http://watwh.com/
