The Crude Life Week In Review Episode 514: EVolution Hybrid, Haynesville is Hot and Growing Up in an Oil Family

Jim Willis, owner, Marcellus Drilling News gives an update on the MVP Pipeline project as well as the Shell Ethane Cracker Plant in the Marcellus Utica Appalachian Basin. Willis discusses the MVP Mountain Valley pipeline, a natural gas pipeline that spans 303 miles from West Virginia to Virginia. The pipeline was originally projected to be completed in 2018 at a cost of $3.5 billion, but it is still under construction and now estimated to cost $6.5 billion. Various green organizations have brought lawsuits against the pipeline, resulting in delays. However, legislation was passed to complete the pipeline, and the court has been asked to dismiss the remaining lawsuits. The company behind the pipeline has requested permission to finish the remaining 6% of the project, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has given them the go-ahead. Green groups are challenging the dismissal of the lawsuits. The interview also dives into what happened with the Shell’s Public Relations with their ethane cracker plant.

MVP Pipeline and Shell Ethane Cracker Plant Update

Steve Bakken

 Bailey Midkiff, Performance Pulsation Control, Inc, stops by Talk of the Town with Steve Bakken and Wednesday co-host Jason Spiess, the founder of The Crude Life. Midkiff work with major oil and gas companies (Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream) to diagnose positive displacement pump issues and provide solutions. Midkiff talks about how utilizing Performance Pulsation Control’s breadth of pulsation dampening equipment and engineering expertise has opened new opportunities into other areas of the marketplace. The three discuss whether the youth is entering oil and gas or if they are turning their attention towards other professions.

Midkiff Appears on Talk of the Town with Steve Bakken

Canada’s Greatest Export Terry Etam, author of The End of Fossil Fuel Insanity: Clearing the Air Before Cleaning the Air, columnist for the BOE Report and writer for Public Energy Number One, gives an update on the oil and gas activity north of the border, how logging policies are leading to wildfires and his new role to find new clean energy for the planet. Content and transcript coming soon…  Here is Amazon’s description of Etam’s book The End of the Fossil Fuel Insanity: Everyone knows that fossil fuels won’t last forever. Something needs to change at some point, regardless of whether the issue is climate change or because we need a practical replacement for petroleum as cheap supplies run out. But while headlines suggest that a green-energy paradise is around the corner, not many are aware of the immense technical challenges that stand in its way. To turn our backs on fossil fuels, a staggering amount of work will be required to refit a global energy sector that has grown systematically for over a century. News of the latest green advancements can make it seem like plug-and-play technology, and simply a matter of switching from one source to another. In reality, the challenge is far greater, and infinitely more complicated. To make matters worse, environmentalists and fossil-fuel defenders wage continuous but fruitless war, and the growing gap makes it impossible to have any sort of constructive dialogue. Each camp becomes more locked in their position with every exchange, and the most revolutionary ideas never see the light of day. Instead of building, time and money are wasted sparring. Sparing no sacred cows, Terry Etam cuts through the media rhetoric, government propaganda, and widespread ignorance of the energy sector to get to the heart of what needs to change—and what needs to stay the same—if the challenges of moving away from fossil fuels are to be met, while maintaining the quality of life we have come to expect and rely on.#post-15521 .CPlase_panel {display:none;}

Canada’s Greatest Export Terry Etam, author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/End-Fossil-Fuel-Insanity-Clearing-ebook/dp/B07MXSTYFS" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The End of Fossil Fuel Insanity: Clearing the Air Before Cleaning the Air</a>, columnist for the <a href="https://boereport.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">BOE Report</a> and writer for <a href="https://publicenergynumberone.com/author/terryetam/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Public Energy Number One</a>, gives an update on the oil and gas activity north of the border, how logging policies are leading to wildfires and his new role to find new clean energy for the planet. Content and transcript coming soon… <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/End-of-the-fossil-fuel-insanity.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> Here is Amazon’s description of Etam’s book The End of the Fossil Fuel Insanity: Everyone knows that fossil fuels won’t last forever. Something needs to change at some point, regardless of whether the issue is climate change or because we need a practical replacement for petroleum as cheap supplies run out. But while headlines suggest that a green-energy paradise is around the corner, not many are aware of the immense technical challenges that stand in its way. To turn our backs on fossil fuels, a staggering amount of work will be required to refit a global energy sector that has grown systematically for over a century. News of the latest green advancements can make it seem like plug-and-play technology, and simply a matter of switching from one source to another. In reality, the challenge is far greater, and infinitely more complicated. To make matters worse, environmentalists and fossil-fuel defenders wage continuous but fruitless war, and the growing gap makes it impossible to have any sort of constructive dialogue. Each camp becomes more locked in their position with every exchange, and the most revolutionary ideas never see the light of day. Instead of building, time and money are wasted sparring. Sparing no sacred cows, Terry Etam cuts through the media rhetoric, government propaganda, and widespread ignorance of the energy sector to get to the heart of what needs to change—and what needs to stay the same—if the challenges of moving away from fossil fuels are to be met, while maintaining the quality of life we have come to expect and rely on.#post-15521 .CPlase_panel {display:none;}

The Crude Life Week In Review Episode 508:  Automation in Energy, Small Business, EVolution Hybrid and the Pawn Star of the Bakken

In the fifth part of the EVolution Hybrid series, Levi Perkins, Perkins Electric Innovations and Jason Spiess, founder of The Crude Life, discuss the roadblock known as the supply chain. Perkins explains how the rare earth minerals and foreign imports have created a new issue in the economy.  He specifically discusses the surge in EV Agriculture equipment. Perkins attended a World Ag Show recently and was taken back by the number of EV Projects now existing in agriculture compared to last year. “Last year at the show I do not recall any EV farm machinery or equipment,” Perkins said. “This year it’s all I can recall is the number of companies pitching EV services.” Spiess specifically asks if this is policy driven rather than free market.  Perkins believes so. The two discuss how the recent legislation has created a marketplace where dollars are directing who gets preferred treatment.” “Are these companies showcasing multiple EVs or are they showing a prototype and hoping for orders?” Spiess asked. “Prototypes mostly that I could see,” Perkins said. “In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen and experienced, I do think the Agriculture market got and is getting preferential treatment with the supply chain right now.” The two discussed the rationale from feeding the world to political posturing, thus pontificating whether the distribution channels would be next on the government EV priority list. The conversation also dives into several examples of how smaller companies are having issue getting parts, information and access to the EV supply chain. If definitely looks like they are favoring the larger vehicle manufactures, that’s where we are seeing all the batteries and controller components going into because they have large production numbers.” Perkins gives an update on Tesla and Panasonic’s latest EV Batteries as well as parts from companies like Rockwell.  He also explains why China is leading the EV market right now due to their historical use and mineral access. In the fourth part of this series following EVolution Hybrid, a project integrating a traditional semi truck with a combustion engine with a EV battery and electric vehicle technology we get an update on the engine features, roadblocks and successes. In this exclusive interview with Levi Perkins, Perkins Electric Innovation, and Kenley Nebeker, TrainND Northwest, the two discuss how EVolution Hybrid is ready to take on these traditional challenges, plus a couple anticipated ones too. In Part Three the challenge is towing and range anxiety. “If we have  a greater amount of weight that we are towing or resistance whether it be a vertical incline or bad roads or a low tire, just things that will impact how much power we are using and increase the amount of amperage by the motor, and that would consume the battery quicker.” Towing creates conversations about torque as well. “The electric motors we are using they can build what we call Peak Torque at a really low if not zero RPM,” Perkins said. “This is different from a reciprocating piston where your peak torque could be at a specific RPM usually in the RPM range.” The interview also discussed tires and how many electric vehicles have specific tires for the vehicle and if someone put new tires on, it impacts how far you can drive.  So does temperature. “An individual going to see his son on Christmas on the east coast was set to drive 200 miles in the below freezing temperature after he hit the SuperCharge Station close to his house,” Perkins said. “When he left his garage the Tesla battery was warm enough to start and drive, only when he got to the charge station and at that point the battery has discharged some but it’s cool enough it will not allow him to charge.” This transitioned into one of the biggest issues right now for the EV Transition is “Range Anxiety”.  Nebeker has had first hand experience and says it is a real thing. “I experienced range anxiety first hand and absolutely it is real,” Nebeker said. “That question of am I going to get where I need to get is a real worry with range anxiety.  With an internal combustion engine with gas motors, you know you have until empty then you have to fill it up.  It’s a consistent draw versus unpredictability really.”  In Part Two, the two talked about time and money. When it comes to life, time is money. In transportation it’s time and weight that equal money. Well in the world of EV Transportation, it’s time, weight and temperature that mean money. In Part One, the two gave an overview of project EVolution Hybrid, which is integrating an electric battery into a traditional combustion engine while maintaining the classic trucking look.  With maybe a hint of flare or contemporary fashions. “One of the things we looked at with the EVolution Hybrid is the future of the transportation and trucking industry,” Kenley Nebeker, executive director, TrainND Northwest said. “We are really trying to find a way to expose our students and the community to the potential that lies within the electric truck, or in this case a hybrid truck.  I’ve never been a believer in all-one-way or another.” Nebeker is referring to an all EV solution or an all fossil fuel solution.  Nebeker believes this project will shine a light on how a “marriage” between the two concepts will ultimately become a viable solution to an energy transition. “One important part of this project is the look,” Nebeker said. “I like that traditional Americana semi truck look and understand that still connects with the public too.” Click here for Part Two of The Crude Life’s series on EVoltion Hybrid: Transporting Innovation Into A Sustainable Society Click here for Part One of The Crude Life’s series on EVoltion Hybrid: Transporting Innovation Into A Sustainable Society One of the ways the electric combustion collaboration can occur is weight.  According to Perkins, the weight of fuel, the batteries and cargo are factors when determining your bottom line in business. “Most Class A trucks vary as there are different models from the manufacturers, but there’s a lot that is similar” Perkins said. “The less a truck can weigh, the more freight you can haul and essentially, generate higher revenues because of it.”  For fleets, this could have significant savings.  Perkins dives into the details of sleeper cabs, drop steer axles and other accessories when discussing the weight and revenues in trucking.  All these additional details matter when discussing electric batteries and transition. “Most electric trucks are going to be in the 400-600 kilowatt hour range. Tesla just released a 1000 kilowatt hour battery,” Perkins said. “But interestingly enough in the past three years the battery technology has allowed us to have reductions in weight but still, it is over 10,000 pounds in battery weight.” The interview also discussed the difference between fuel weight and battery weight.  Which would save money in the long haul?  Host Jason Spiess cited an example of an interview with Keri Frank, CEO, Comply365, and her integration of iPads in aviation. “Before iPads, the industry had a 50-plus-pound black metal box that contained procedure papers required by law,” Spiess said. “After Keri Frank got the industry to transition those papers to an iPad, not only did they see an immediate impact by not printing new sheets every time a new code was issued.  But the real savings they saw was over a year in fuel savings.  The weight over time was nickels turning into dollars.”  Both Nebeker and Perkins agreed with the sustainable savings and how trucking companies will see similar results. Another area of change or transition EVoltion Hybrid will see is jobs.  Nebeker is anticipating changes with mechanics, IT and other areas of trucking and transportation, and is in constant contact with the supply chain and supporting cast. Here are some supporting interviews for EVoltion Hybrid and the community of Williston, ND. Williston’s Wenko Says Economic Development Getting More Diverse Williston Mayor Talks About The Bakken’s Continued Community Growth Bakken Small Businesses Staying Busy Bakken Boom Created An Astounding Educational Opportunity For Williston State Students The project is scheduled to take 9-12 months, depending on the supply chain, according to Nebeker.

In this exclusive interview with Levi Perkins, Perkins Electric Innovation, and Kenley Nebeker, TrainND Northwest, the two discuss how EVolution Hybrid is ready to take on these traditional challenges, plus a couple anticipated ones too. In <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2023/01/03/evolution-hybrid-series-towing-torque-and-temperatures-showing-advancements-range-anxiety-real/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Part Three</a> the challenge is towing and range anxiety. “If we have  a greater amount of weight that we are towing or resistance whether it be a vertical incline or bad roads or a low tire, just things that will impact how much power we are using and increase the amount of amperage by the motor, and that would consume the battery quicker.” Towing creates conversations about torque as well. “The electric motors we are using they can build what we call Peak Torque at a really low if not zero RPM,” Perkins said. “This is different from a reciprocating piston where your peak torque could be at a specific RPM usually in the RPM range.” The interview also discussed tires and how many electric vehicles have specific tires for the vehicle and if someone put new tires on, it impacts how far you can drive.  So does temperature. “An individual going to see his son on Christmas on the east coast was set to drive 200 miles in the below freezing temperature after he hit the SuperCharge Station close to his house,” Perkins said. “When he left his garage the Tesla battery was warm enough to start and drive, only when he got to the charge station and at that point the battery has discharged some but it’s cool enough it will not allow him to charge.” This transitioned into one of the biggest issues right now for the EV Transition is “Range Anxiety”.  Nebeker has had first hand experience and says it is a real thing. “I experienced range anxiety first hand and absolutely it is real,” Nebeker said. “That question of am I going to get where I need to get is a real worry with range anxiety.  With an internal combustion engine with gas motors, you know you have until empty then you have to fill it up.  It’s a consistent draw versus unpredictability really.” <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/trainnd.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> In Part Two, the two talked about time and money. When it comes to life, time is money. In transportation it’s time and weight that equal money. Well in the world of EV Transportation, it’s time, weight and temperature that mean money. In Part One, the two gave an overview of project EVolution Hybrid, which is integrating an electric battery into a traditional combustion engine while maintaining the classic trucking look.  With maybe a hint of flare or contemporary fashions. “One of the things we looked at with the EVolution Hybrid is the future of the transportation and trucking industry,” Kenley Nebeker, executive director, TrainND Northwest said. “We are really trying to find a way to expose our students and the community to the potential that lies within the electric truck, or in this case a hybrid truck.  I’ve never been a believer in all-one-way or another.” Nebeker is referring to an all EV solution or an all fossil fuel solution.  Nebeker believes this project will shine a light on how a “marriage” between the two concepts will ultimately become a viable solution to an energy transition. “One important part of this project is the look,” Nebeker said. “I like that traditional Americana semi truck look and understand that still connects with the public too.” <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/11/13/part-two-checking-the-battery-and-fuel-weight-with-evolution-hybrid/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for Part Two of The Crude Life’s series on EVoltion Hybrid: Transporting Innovation Into A Sustainable Society</a> <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/09/20/evolution-hybrid-the-genesis-of-the-ev-combustion-hybrid-conversion/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for Part One of The Crude Life’s series on EVoltion Hybrid: Transporting Innovation Into A Sustainable Society</a> One of the ways the electric combustion collaboration can occur is weight.  According to Perkins, the weight of fuel, the batteries and cargo are factors when determining your bottom line in business. “Most Class A trucks vary as there are different models from the manufacturers, but there’s a lot that is similar” Perkins said. “The less a truck can weigh, the more freight you can haul and essentially, generate higher revenues because of it.” <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/vehicle-categories.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> For fleets, this could have significant savings.  Perkins dives into the details of sleeper cabs, drop steer axles and other accessories when discussing the weight and revenues in trucking.  All these additional details matter when discussing electric batteries and transition. “Most electric trucks are going to be in the 400-600 kilowatt hour range. Tesla just released a 1000 kilowatt hour battery,” Perkins said. “But interestingly enough in the past three years the battery technology has allowed us to have reductions in weight but still, it is over 10,000 pounds in battery weight.” The interview also discussed the difference between fuel weight and battery weight.  Which would save money in the long haul?  Host Jason Spiess cited an example of an interview with Keri Frank, CEO, Comply365, and her integration of iPads in aviation. “Before iPads, the industry had a 50-plus-pound black metal box that contained procedure papers required by law,” Spiess said. “After Keri Frank got the industry to transition those papers to an iPad, not only did they see an immediate impact by not printing new sheets every time a new code was issued.  But the real savings they saw was over a year in fuel savings.  The weight over time was nickels turning into dollars.” <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kenley-Nebeker-2.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> Both Nebeker and Perkins agreed with the sustainable savings and how trucking companies will see similar results. Another area of change or transition EVoltion Hybrid will see is jobs.  Nebeker is anticipating changes with mechanics, IT and other areas of trucking and transportation, and is in constant contact with the supply chain and supporting cast. Here are some supporting interviews for EVoltion Hybrid and the community of Williston, ND. <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/11/06/willistons-wenko-says-economic-development-getting-more-diverse/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Williston’s Wenko Says Economic Development Getting More Diverse</a> <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/11/03/williston-mayor-talks-about-bakkens-community-growth/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Williston Mayor Talks About The Bakken’s Continued Community Growth</a> <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/10/27/bakken-small-businesses-staying-busy/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Bakken Small Businesses Staying Busy</a> <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/10/26/bakken-boom-created-an-astounding-educational-opportunity-for-williston-state-students/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Bakken Boom Created An Astounding Educational Opportunity For Williston State Students</a> The project is scheduled to take 9-12 months, depending on the supply chain, according to Nebeker.

EVolution Hybrid Hits Supply Chain Issues

Dr. Loren C. Scott joins The Crude  Life’s founder Jason Spiess for an update from Louisiana’s innovation, importing/exporting natural, extracting energy and the overall refining industry. According to Dr. Scott, the state is experiencing some healthy economic activity, primarily due to the refining industries and natural gas. “Right now countries are racing for the cheapest natural gas molecules and the United States is considerably cheaper than the rest of the world,” Dr. Scott said. Dr. Scott continued to explain why foreign countries are especially interested in LA.  Dr. Scott also explains why the pipeline system in LA is critical to the energy activity currently happening as well as the Mississippi River. “What they (foreign countries) are figuring out is the best places to come are on the Mississippi River, between Baton Rouge and the mouth of the Mississippi River,  and The Calcasieu Ship Channel over in Lake Charles and then on the Southeastern Coast of Texas,” Dr. Scott said. The Pipeline Grid in LA is massive in size and according to Dr. Scott, it is critical to the nation’s infrastructure and energy security. “What you see when you look at a pipeline map of the United States is a mass of pipelines along the Louisiana and Texas Coast,” Dr. Scott said. “So not only will they be able to get cheap natural gas, but they would have accessibility to it.” Right now, according to Dr. Scott, the Haynesville shale play is the main reason for the state’s oil and gas activity. “In terms of oil and gas extraction, the really bright spot is the Haynesville Shale,” Dr. Scott said. “The reason the Haynesville Shale is doing very well right now, which the rig count has gone from about 16 to about 45 in the Louisiana portion of the shale, and the reason for that is that there has been a tsunami of new chemical firms and LNG export firms that have come into the southern part of the state.” Dr. Scott also explains why ocean-going ships can travel up the Mississippi River giving that area of the world an advantage in transportation and distribution.  Loren C. Scott &amp; Associates, Inc., is a 35-year old firm that provides economic consulting and public speaking services for a wide range of clients.

Dr. Scott Explains Why Louisiana is Red Hot in Energy

Joe Sinnott, Witting Partners and host of the Energy Detox Podcast, joins The Crude Life founder Jason Spiess to talk about how mental health is part of the oil and gas industry. From the early days of “throwing some dirt” on your mental health issues to actual programs companies are installing into their company culture. Sinnott and Spiess also discuss the mental health impacts of a company “using” an employee for marketing purposes – i.e. Women’s History Month or Minority Month.  Themed months can become a tricky employment marketing plan as highlighting someone’s interests, genders and cultures once a year can open up new conversations for the other 11 months of the year. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Sinnott gives a boots-on-the-ground update from the Marcellus Utica with an update on the Shell Ethane Cracker Plant. Sinnott said despite efforts of transparency and communication, the plant is facing some PR hurdles with flaring and environmental activists. (The day after the interview with Sinnott, Shell was served legal papers and was sued by a local environmental group.) The “cracker” plant, located along the Ohio River about 30 miles (48 kilometers) outside Pittsburgh, opened in November and uses ethane from a vast shale gas reservoir underneath Pennsylvania and surrounding states to makes polyethylene, a plastic used in everything from consumer and food packaging to tires. Clean Air Council, it alleges that operator Shell Chemical Appalachia LLC, a subsidiary of British oil and gas giant Shell plc, is violating state and federal limits on smog, as well as emissions limits in its state-approved operating plan. The company had projected to spend $6 billion on the refinery, which took years to build. At full capacity, the plant is expected to produce 3.5 billion pounds (1.6 billion kilograms) of polyethylene annually.

Sinnott Gives an Update on Shell’s Cracker Plant and Oilfield Mental Health

It’s Wattage Wednesday on SuperTalk 1270AM Bismarck-Mandan’s Talk of the Town with Steve Bakken. Bobby Adkins and Stuart Schmidt of iTankData and joins The Crude Life’s founder Jason Spiess and Bakken during two segments of the 2-hour daily talk and news program. The four discuss the technology of the Bakken and other oil and gas basins across the United States. The conversation specifically dove into what iTankdata does for oil and gas, which is remotely monitoring fluid levels in tanks and provides management data to mobile devices. Adkins says the cost is $625 plus $20 a month for the data plan. Spiess compares it to a past article and interview with Kerry Frank and Comply365, which revolutionized the aviation industry with the use of iPads to save gas money. Adkins explains that their technology is more cost-effective and accurate than competitors like SKAA systems. Stuart recently spoke with operators from Murphy Oil and OXY about bringing in additional chemical and oil field technology. For example, in this case the technology can remotely monitor tanks and identify leaks and slow-downs, improving efficiency and catching negative events sooner. It can be used by anyone with a tank, including farmers and fuel storage facilities. To contact Adkins or Schmidt of iTankData, click on their names or here.

iTankData Joins Talk of the Town to Discuss Automation in Energy

Here are this week’s special guests and energy experts on The Crude Life Week In Review Episode 506. Energy professional Dennis Lindahl comments on whether the new ecological thriller “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” is appropriate for public venues and Netflix with an aggressive title. How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a 2023 environmentalist action film directed by Daniel Goldhaber, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ariela Barer and Jordan Sjol. It relies on ideas advanced in Andreas Malm‘s 2021 book of the same name, published by Verso Books. It stars Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Jake Weary and Irene Bedard. According to Wikipedia, Malm’s book is a work of nonfiction that uses a history of social justice movements to argue that property destruction should be considered a valid tactic in the pursuit of environmental justice. For those who wish to file a communication with the Federal Communication Commission, click here Luke Eggebraaten recaps his new book Moving Digital Dirt. Eggebraaten considers himself more than a serial dirt entrepreneur and a Dirt Bag Podcaster, so he used that momentum to springboard into becoming an author too. The book “The Digital Dirt World” is now available on Amazon and is for a very small audience, according to Eggebraaten. “This book is written for about 1% of people. We’re taking a deep dive into the fundamentals of digital marketing for construction companies,” Eggebraaten said. “This is for the construction management student that wants to understand how to market a construction company. I’m writing to the innovative and curious 63-year-old septic company president, who inherited the business from his great-grandfather and is motivated to keep it running and well-branded for future generations.” Bobby Adkins, iTankData, joins The Crude Life Content News Correspondent Ken Lavin to discuss how time is money.  Adkins explains how their software is allowing companies to access real data on their phones and laptops in order to see uptime, downtime and other metrics. “CFOs get it in a blink. Operational guys figure it out. Field guys they love it too cause it makes it a little easier on their lifestyle,” Adkins said. Raw costs of production, downtime, pulling units are just a couple areas cited as examples of what their software detects. “You can punch in your own data whether it is a 6 barrel a day well or 60 barrel a day, maybe it’s much larger with a horizontal,” Adkins said. “We are in 18 states and working with oil companies, chemical companies and even salt water.  This also helps with pick ups and deliveries in real time fashion.  These digital tools allow you to see your physical return.” iTankData has 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.  Services include remote tank level monitoring technologies and well site data. They also serve operators with daily needs in the oilfield, along with current information technology allows us to identify an operator’s cost and time lag issues.     The Voice of West Texas Kris Moore leads a discussion on energy issues and empowering women in oil and gas.  Franki Osburn gives advice for new women working in industry. The interview is conducted by The Voice of West Texas Kris Moore. Franki, a single mother of three, talks about her support system for her three children and how the industry has become a surrogate family. Kenley Nebeker, TrainND and Levi Perkins, Perkins Electric Innovations with an update on EVolution Hybrid. In the fourth part of this series following EVolution Hybrid, a project integrating a traditional semi truck with a combustion engine with a EV battery and electric vehicle technology we get an update on the engine features, roadblocks and successes. In this exclusive interview with Levi Perkins, Perkins Electric Innovation, and Kenley Nebeker, TrainND Northwest, the two discuss how EVolution Hybrid is ready to take on these traditional challenges, plus a couple anticipated ones too. In Part Three the challenge is towing and range anxiety. “If we have  a greater amount of weight that we are towing or resistance whether it be a vertical incline or bad roads or a low tire, just things that will impact how much power we are using and increase the amount of amperage by the motor, and that would consume the battery quicker.” Towing creates conversations about torque as well. “The electric motors we are using they can build what we call Peak Torque at a really low if not zero RPM,” Perkins said. “This is different from a reciprocating piston where your peak torque could be at a specific RPM usually in the RPM range.” Music heard on The Crude Life Week in Review is written and performed by Alma Cook of Cook Compliance Solutions.

The book “The Digital Dirt World” is now available on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW23B1ZY?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_K6NYZ4ARKTNAWPXY5WTP" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Amazon </a>and is for a very small audience, according to Eggebraaten. “This book is written for about 1% of people. We’re taking a deep dive into the fundamentals of digital marketing for construction companies,” Eggebraaten said. “This is for the construction management student that wants to understand how to market a construction company. I’m writing to the innovative and curious 63-year-old septic company president, who inherited the business from his great-grandfather and is motivated to keep it running and well-branded for future generations.” <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-adkins-a606ab24/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Bobby Adkins</a>, <a href="https://itankdata.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">iTankData</a>, joins The Crude Life Content News Correspondent Ken Lavin <a href="https://www.thecrudelife.com/2022/02/22/itankdata-can-show-you-the-money-in-real-time/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">to discuss how time is money</a>.  Adkins explains how their software is allowing companies to access real data on their phones and laptops in order to see uptime, downtime and other metrics. “CFOs get it in a blink. Operational guys figure it out. Field guys they love it too cause it makes it a little easier on their lifestyle,” Adkins said. Raw costs of production, downtime, pulling units are just a couple areas cited as examples of what their software detects. “You can punch in your own data whether it is a 6 barrel a day well or 60 barrel a day, maybe it’s much larger with a horizontal,” Adkins said. “We are in 18 states and working with oil companies, chemical companies and even salt water.  This also helps with pick ups and deliveries in real time fashion.  These digital tools allow you to see your physical return.” iTankData has 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.  Services include remote tank level monitoring technologies and well site data. They also serve operators with daily needs in the oilfield, along with current information technology allows us to identify an operator’s cost and time lag issues.

Kenley Nebeker, executive director of TrainND Northwest and president of the TrainND Foundation,  joins The Crude Life and ESG University founder Jason Spiess on KLXX 1270AM SuperTalk’s Talk of the Town with Steve Bakken to talk about the new non profit that legislators and UAS leaders to “promote autonomous efforts in the state”. the potential of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and how drones can be adopted for mosquito and weed spraying. Trinity Northwest is committed to providing a pathway for people to get their aerial application license. The speakers shared insights on how fast-track programs in nursing and drone spraying can provide entry points for people to gain skills and potentially progress into higher-level positions. Additionally, the meeting discussed the potential for providing local hospitals with enough CNA staff to eliminate the need for hiring traveling CNAs. Other interview topics include: – Attend training sessions to learn how to fly drones and learn how to make a great market use of them. – Consider entering the drone industry as there is still plenty of unrealized potential. – Research the legal process and requirements for legally spraying chemicals using drones. – Consider the opportunity to obtain a Part 107 license for flying drones commercially. – Evaluate opportunities in the drone spraying industry. – Explore fast-track programs for nursing assistant training. – Look for entry-level positions in the medical industry to gain experience. – Research hospital partners that offer job opportunities in nursing and healthcare. – Raise funds for CNA scholarships. – Offer CNA training responsive to workforce needs. – Offer frontline safety leadership courses to develop necessary skills to create an effective safety culture in companies.

TrainND Northwest Offers UAS, CNA and other Training Opportunities

CNBC’s Sullivan Educates The Crude Life during Financial Literacy Awareness Month

Every March since 1987, Congress and U.S. Presidents have designated March as Women’s History Month. This year, The Crude Life celebrates and honors their accomplishments and contributions in history with interviews and stories that center around women’s experiences in industry. The Crude Life believes women are vital in energy.  Today more than ever. From a female’s point of view to intuition to specific skill sets, women are vital in energy. Today’s women in industry are not only modern-day leaders, but truly are defining history as well.  Everyone at The Crude Life is grateful for all your contributions to industry, to your communities and to our planet. In this interview, host Jason Spiess talks to Mary Anderson, executive director, ABLE Inc. and Monte Besler, Frackinator Consulting, Williston, ND about ABLE Inc. and how it is impacting the Bakken oil fields.  Anderson discusses the integration into the Bakken oil fields and some of the projects underway.  Besler gives a first hand testimonial on how ABLE’s social services have allowed him to continue to work in the oil and gas industry. Prior to 1984, people with intellectual disabilities were referred to the State Institution at Grafton, ND. During this time there were very few or no community supports available to people with intellectual disabilities and families.

Every March since 1987, Congress and U.S. Presidents have designated March as Women’s History Month. This year, The Crude Life celebrates and honors their accomplishments and contributions in history with interviews and stories that center around women’s experiences in industry. The Crude Life believes women are vital in energy.  Today more than ever. From a female’s point of view to intuition to specific skill sets, women are vital in energy. Today’s women in industry are not only modern-day leaders, but truly are defining history as well.  Everyone at The Crude Life is grateful for all your contributions to industry, to your communities and to our planet. In this interview, host Jason Spiess talks to Mary Anderson, executive director, ABLE Inc. and Monte Besler, Frackinator Consulting, Williston, ND about ABLE Inc. and how it is impacting the Bakken oil fields.  Anderson discusses the integration into the Bakken oil fields and some of the projects underway.  Besler gives a first hand testimonial on how ABLE’s social services have allowed him to continue to work in the oil and gas industry. Prior to 1984, people with intellectual disabilities were referred to the State Institution at Grafton, ND. During this time there were very few or no community supports available to people with intellectual disabilities and families. In 1980, the Association of Retarded Citizens of North Dakota filed a class action suit against the State of North Dakota, declaring that the state’s method of providing care for people with mental retardation violated their constitutional rights. In 1984, The North Dakota ARC won their lawsuit and people began going home. ABLE, Inc. was incorporated in October 1984 as a result of people moving back to their home communities.

Celebrating Women In Energy: Social program ABLE assisting oil field workers in the Bakken

Every March since 1987, Congress and U.S. Presidents have designated March as Women’s History Month. This year, The Crude Life celebrates and honors their accomplishments and contributions in history with interviews and stories that center around women’s experiences in industry. The Crude Life believes women are vital in energy.  Today more than ever. From a female’s point of view to intuition to specific skill sets, women are vital in energy. Today’s women in industry are not only modern-day leaders, but truly are defining history as well.  Everyone at The Crude Life is grateful for all your contributions to industry, to your communities and to our planet. Heidi LaBree, American Cancer Society, talks about MBI’s leadership on the Relay for Life project. She comments about how they were able to bring other companies together for the BBQ and pull off a top notch event. She also shared her observations of giving in the Bakken. LaBree believes there is a community within the Bakken and her observations have been that the giving has far exceeded her expectations. Subscribed   Heidi LaBree I’m from Brandon and I cover the Western North Dakota area. Jason Spiess And how long have you been working out here in the Bake? And then Heidi LaBree I have been working out here for about nine months, nine months. Jason Spiess Relatively new position. Heidi LaBree Yes, very Jason Spiess new before you took this position nine months ago. Where did you work? You don’t have to give the name of the place. But territory, I Heidi LaBree was a loan officer at a bank in Western Montana. Jason Spiess Western Montana. Okay. So you’re over on the Yellowstone side, kind Heidi LaBree of Jason Spiess not a lot of oil activity out there, tourist areas. And so what are your experiences since coming out here and working in the back in nine months ago? From Western Montana? Heidi LaBree It does, it’s, it’s a lot busier. Um My parents live in Dickinson and they’ve been here for quite a while. So even when I came here to visit, I’ve noticed the influx of people in the area. Um traffic is a lot heavier is the main thing. So it takes, it takes longer to go out to eat, just takes a little bit longer to do everything. Jason Spiess So, and what challenges have you experienced since coming out and working here in the Bacon. … Heidi LaBree I honestly don’t, I haven’t run into any challenges. It’s actually been very, very smooth transition and has gone very well. Jason Spiess Good to hear. Good to hear a lot of opportunity out here. Yes. Um You are with American Cancer Society. We’re here at the Bacon barbecue M B I is putting on the barbecue for a fundraiser for Relay for Life, which is a uh activity. What group organization? What is that? I know it’s a Heidi LaBree Walk. Yes. The relay for life is the signature or the signature fundraising activity for the American cancer society. Um it started in 1985 and just continues to grow every year. And this year we’re gonna reach the $5 billion dollar mark of funds raised throughout the entire um time of the relay for life. And this is actually Missouri Basins. Fbi’s first year as a relay for life team. So they’re doing an excellent job and putting this, this event together here today. They’ve just gone all out. So it’s been really good Jason Spiess in the past nine months under your position at the American Cancer Society. Have you, have you noticed or have you heard any anecdotal or seen any technical numbers to indicate whether there’s a surge of giving out here in the, for non profits in the oil patch? Is it on par to what you thought it would be or is it less? Heidi LaBree I think it’s above and beyond what I ever imagined it would be. I’ve had um three relay for life events so far. Um My next one will be in Dickinson. But so far those three have well exceeded all their goals and expectations of myself and of the committees that plan the events. They’ve just all three have done very, very well. This is actually Missouri Basins, MB eyes. So they’re doing an excellent job and putting this, this event together here today. They’ve just gone all out. So it’s been really good. I feel like there is a community within, within the bacon, especially working with the FBI relay for life team and just seeing how they’ve worked with all, not just other oil companies in the area, but just all, all companies in the area have, they’ve all come together to, to work to accomplish this. And it’s, it’s very neat to Jason Spiess see. Did you hear any stories about the bacon before you came out here? Heidi LaBree And Jason Spiess now that you’re out here, um, is there any facts or myths that stick out in your mind that now that you’re out here that, wow, I came out here and the traffic is as bad as I thought or it’s not as bad or the price of milk is X or um, whatever it might be or I, I’ve gone to a store and not harassed by everybody or whatever? Just, um, are there any facts or myths that you heard coming into here that you now have experienced that. Have your own Heidi LaBree opinion on. Well, the traffic is one of them. Um, whereas there is an increased amount of traffic, It hasn’t been as much as I expected when I had heard about it. I drive up to Watford City once a month and take highway 85 up that direction and it’s been pretty smooth, smooth drive every week. And, um, when I had first moved over here I had just heard horror stories about that highway and how busy it is and stuff and it hasn’t been as bad as I expected. Well, that’s good to hear. Jason Spiess Uh, it seems like everybody has a boxing story. I’ve, I’ve heard everything from car accidents to, uh, just guys driving out here having no money in their pockets and coming out here finding a job too. Um, a, uh, what was the other one? I heard that was just remarkable. Oh, a guy trying to run down, trying to beat the Amtrak to the next station because he missed his Williston one. So it’s, you know, it seems like everybody has a bacon story that they tell friends and family from afar. Do you have one yet in the, in the nine months that you’ve been out here? Some unbelievable that could only happen out here Heidi LaBree type thing? Actually, I don’t, not yet. I’m Jason Spiess Sorry, but the fact that you call highway 85 somewhat safe, that’s, that’s the bucket story to me. I call it white knuckle highway. Heidi LaBree I haven’t, I mean, I haven’t felt uncomfortable on it yet, so that’s Jason Spiess good. Thank you much and appreciate the work you’re doing. I lost my mother to cancer. So I appreciate all the work that you guys are doing. It’s a, it’s a worthy cause and it’s something that I feel needs to be explored a lot further on. And that’s why we’re doing this for free. So, Heidi LaBree well, I appreciate your, your publicity here and I really appreciate the FBI team for putting it on, so it’s, it’s a great event so. Well. Thank you much. Alright, thank.

Celebrating Women In Energy: How Oil and Gas Come Together for a Cause and Community

Sinnott on March Madness, Spring Forward and Professional Changes

Every March since 1987, Congress and U.S. Presidents have designated March as Women’s History Month. This year, The Crude Life celebrates and honors their accomplishments and contributions in history with interviews and stories that center around women’s experiences in industry. The Crude Life believes women are vital in energy.  Today more than ever. From a female’s point of view to intuition to specific skill sets, women are vital in energy. Today’s women in industry are not only modern-day leaders, but truly are defining history as well.  Everyone at The Crude Life is grateful for all your contributions to industry, to your communities and to our planet. Vicki Granado, VP Corporate Communications, Energy Transfer Partners, discusses the recent donations made to emergency service organizations across the Dakotas, Iowa and Illinois. The donations from Energy Transfer Partners are on behalf the Dakota Access Pipeline.  The local counties in North Dakota are receiving checks from Energy Transfer Partners for $20,000. Energy Transfer Partners also made donations to 4-H, Future Farmers of America and a couple other local organizations.  Granado talks about investing in the foundation of the communities is another way to invest in the community and their employees. The donation follows a $15 million dollar donation to the state of North Dakota to be used for law enforcement purposes. Host Jason Spiess directs the conversation with Granado into the symbolism behind the major investments energy companies are making in the Bakken. Click on picture for America’s Crate!

Celebrating Women In Energy: Energy Transfer Gives Back To Local Communities

Every March since 1987, Congress and U.S. Presidents have designated March as Women’s History Month. This year, The Crude Life celebrates and honors their accomplishments and contributions in history with interviews and stories that center around women’s experiences in industry.  The Crude Life believes women are vital in energy.  Today more than ever. From a female’s point of view to intuition to specific skill sets, women are vital in energy.  Today’s women in industry are not only modern-day leaders, but truly are defining history as well.  Everyone at The Crude Life is grateful for all your contributions to industry, to your communities and to our planet.      The Voice of West Texas Kris Moore leads a discussion about what it is like for women working in the Permian Basin. In this exclusive interview with The Real Oilfield Women of the South, Heather Ferrill announces she has accepted a new position with Thomas Oilfield Services. After a quick congratulations and an overview of Thomas’ services, the three dive right into a real lifestyle issue in the oil patch. Franki starts off the round table discussion on how to balance the work involved in the oilfield and family life. Franki, a single mother of three, talks about her support system for her three children and how the industry has become a surrogate family. Tiffany grabs that baton and balances the single mother living in multiple cities. She talks about having several places to call home is the right fit for her work home balance. Heather continues the work home balance conversation and brings it back to the two other girls involved the interview how they are her family too. They joke about picking up each other’s kids and taking them to dinner while the other is wrapping up at work. After the three describe what life is like for a woman working in the oil patch, they give a quick boots on the ground update from the Haynesville DUG Conference.
