Great video love the long detailed analysis, simply watch over a few days

[gabrielshaughnessy]

Definitely effective (for learning purposes) to watch multiple times, at different speeds, to rehash the info. Different tidbits sink in at different times

[ericthornton]

Yes the long content is great. It would only suck if you not focused and rambled. You stay on point and it’s all good. Watched about 5 in the last month and I know now how little I really knew. Thanks!

just amazing. didnt know on youtube you could find such technical explanation. btw someone from oil & gas industry says it. awesome job! keep it up please. do you have knowledge on Gas industry? would like to take your views on natural gas prices, supply and demand. thanks

Where can I find your shale update? I've worked on quite a few jobs for the company you mentioned and I'm very curious to see their production curve. We've been told to absolutely rip on wells for them, and they seemed to be onto something at the time. Right up until a coil unit showed up to get them out of the beach. Like I said, very curious to see how this effects longevity.

Any info on ESP's is always welcome as well. I work around a lot of them. I wish it was as easy as just turning a knob. The power demand alone has forced my hand in becoming a NG generator tech of sorts... We usually target speed off of amperage, but you can "turn the dial" as you say (you input whatever frequency in a query line) and source speed off your target frequency. They're interesting to say the least, but once we get downhole and I can't see what's going on in real time, my grasp on everything wanes. Which is why I ask. Enjoyed the video, thanks!

When do choose water vs steam flooding? Is it the viscosity of the oil and size of the reservoir that determines it?

[gabrielshaughnessy]

What would be the benefit of the Peace River Multi-Lateral Horizontal over the Lyodminster Horizontal?
Is the extra complications of all those laterals worth it? Seems questionable

[jiayuan]

what book do you recommend to understand the structure/products of the oil market? thx

[gabrielshaughnessy]

So re pumpjack mechanics, the reservoir has enough pressure to push oil into the pump chamber, just not enough pressure to push oil all the way to the surface, without continual revolutions of the pumpjack

Shubham,
Where do you think will the natural gas price go in the next months?

Are the weatherford courses online or in person
