Allen Lazenby Jr

 Allen Lazenby Jr. is a true contrarian, a person who opposes popular opinion and made a career out of it! While almost every large operator was exiting the oil fields of Colombia, he was going into them. He shares his story, his experiences, and his passion for the energy industry. He crossed paths with some of the most dangerous people on the planet, and he still has just as much love for them as ever. There are hard times, and there are not so hard of times… Whatever time you are in, continue it with gusto and make it work! Go with your gut, listen to others, and do it with GUSTO!

 We got to be at the SWS AAPG Annual Convention this year in Wichita Falls. What a great history, great community, and a great time - Enjoy this show with Dr. Jonathan Price, Chair &amp; Prothro Distinguished Professor of Geological Science at Midwestern State University. More on Dr. Price below!I study mass and energy transfer in the Earth's interior, assessing chemical signals in rocks to understand partial melting, crystallization, and alteration processes. I am keenly interested in the nature and origin of high-temperature systems closely associated with magmatism (volcanoes and plutons). I have applied these techniques to diverse systems such as the Adirondack Mountains of New York, the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, the Seridó Fold Belt of Brazil, and the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma.I encourage student involvement in my research endeavors. I am an active member of MSU's successful UGROW program where undergraduate students engage in research during the Summer I term.Specialties: Mineral and rock identification and petrology; pore space and geometry assessment; fluid-rock interactions; application and maintenance of X-ray and optical spectrometry and diffractometry, and electron and polarized optical microscopy; Intranetworking and webhosting; virtual instrumentation

 We had a great time sitting down with Pablo and talk about data generation at the wellsite! Here’s a little more about the man in the show - In every crisis, opportunity awaits those who prepare for it, so this is the time to get to work. When the petroleum business cycle rebounds, you need to be positioned ahead of your competitors.My name is Pablo Perez, and I am ready to manage your project from start to completion. With 20 years’ experience in the oil and gas business, I have the know-how to help my clients tap new sources of oil revenue, especially in the international market. I pursue projects until I achieve my client’s ultimate goal through hard work and operating under strict business ethics.As the world’s business markets expand, it is important to navigate the diverse cultures with their different languages and work structures. I have worked successfully in the international community, especially in Mexico, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. More than a sales agent, companies need a business partner like me who understands what it takes to operate successfully in foreign environments.I create the necessary processes to get projects up and running and take your requirements into consideration in order to maximize ROI. I also know whom to talk to and whom to trust in foreign locations. My track record includes a project I did for a wellsite data management company, for whom I was hired to develop their Latin American market. That company does drilling operations in real-time and hired me to generate accounts with expectations of bringing in $50,000 a month. I produced revenue between $500,000 and $1 million a month over 10 years.One of my biggest projects was with Pemex in Mexico. I negotiated and signed a framework agreement allowing my customer to provide a wide range of services, enabling us to go from $0 to $25 million a year. I also assisted in showing the success with Pemex to help land other big contracts with NOCs like Saudi Aramco.If those are the kinds of results you are looking for, contact me via email at pablo.perez@bardasz.com.

 We had a great time sitting down with Zach and talking carbon! Here’s a little more about the man in the show - With over 20 years of upstream experience, I specialize in CO2 EOR and CCS. As a licensed Petroleum Engineer and Chartered Financial Analyst, I possess expertise in CO2 storage, hydrogen storage, CCS MMV/MVR, Class VI permitting, 45Q, and LCFS.My skills in petrophysics, geology, geomechanics, and finance enable me to conduct conventional and unconventional oil and gas petrophysical and geological evaluations with tools like Geolog, Techlog, PETREL, and PETRA. I also have experience in geomechanics analysis (PPFG, Fault Seal, MEM, WBS, HF), reserves and economics (PHDWin, ARIES), and leadership, presentation, and public speaking.In my free time, I enjoy playing golf. If you would like to discuss CO2 EOR and CCS, petrophysics, geology, geomechanics, or finance, feel free to connect with me.

 Jacob is one of those people that after meeting them you think, wish the world had more of them! This man jumped up on one of the darkest days in human history and said he was going to go fight for his country. His story is truly one of a kind and the PBE Podcast is better because of the opportunity to share time with this man. He plays for the Houston Arrows Rugby team with a lifelong friend of the show Richard Pagel. These two men give their hearts to the game, and the community, and are a major motivation for our future.

Wayne Wisniewski

 Long-Time Petroleum Engineer Wayne Wisniewski shares his story of how he got involved with KinFrac and his relationship with the late legend, Ed Anders - How KinFrac WorksKinFrac is the ultimate solution for variable pulse fracking. KinFrac generates a huge, repeatable kinetic energy pulse for maximum fracture development. Additionally, by incorporating CO2 gas into the fracking fluid, KinFrac converts an incompressible fluid column into a compressible fluid volume. The compressed CO2 gas within the fluid column captures the tremendous kinetic energy generated from the rapid deceleration of the fracking fluid which is used for more complete and complex fracture growth.Production Cost SavingsKinFrac requires fewer surface pumps and less horse power, yet produces greater fracturing energy than conventional fracking techniques. Significantly less water is required in the KinFrac process, resulting in additional savings.The InventorEdward O. Anders earned his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&amp;M University in 1950. With over 50 years of experience in the oil field, as well as the corporate world, and with numerous patents to his name, his first Kinetic Energy patent, 'Apparatus, Systems, and Methods for Fracturing a Geological Formation'  aka KinFrac, is the invention he considers to be the professional achievement of his lifetime. Subsequently  a second and third patent have issued and a forth and fifth are in progress adding to what Mr. Anders envisioned as an entire "Family of Kinetic Energy Patents". The final two patents should issue in 2021. To view the first three patents in the "family" please see section below.Sadly, Mr. Anders passed away on December 15, 2018 at the age of 92. However, his legacy will live on as his work will continue through his family and professional associates as they pursue his dream of revolutionizing the oil industry. Through his methods, extracting shale oil will become more economical and environmentally friendly and will help the US to become more oil and gas independent which was Mr. Anders' lifelong goal.
