    EP 75: Rudy Lacovara from PetroBricks

    Rudy Lacovara is on a mission to untangle the messy data spaghetti that runs through oil and gas. He built PetroBricks to be the “Zapier for energy”, a way to connect clunky systems, automate the repetitive stuff, and make workflows actually make sense. We got into the pain points everyone in the industry knows too well: outdated data standards, SCADA headaches, and the constant struggle to automate without breaking things. Rudy shared how his aerospace background shaped the way he approaches energy tech, why MQTT matters, and how low-code platforms could finally change the game for operators. If you’ve ever wished your data systems would just talk to each other, this one’s for you. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    EP 74: Husam Rahman from aai agency

    AI is shaking things up in oil and gas, and Hussam Rahman is right in the middle of it. He’s the founder of AAI Agency and the brains behind tools like Petri, a copilot built for engineers, and the Business Toolkit that helps companies cut through messy workflows. We got into how AI is solving everyday headaches, think bad data management, clunky reporting, and inefficient processes, while opening the door to automation and smarter decision-making. Hussam’s mix of industry experience and forward-thinking tech makes for a conversation that’s equal parts practical advice and big-picture strategy on where AI is taking the energy world next.  Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    EP 72: Scott Casso from Casso Land

    AI isn’t just creeping into oil and gas, it’s blowing the doors open. Scott Casso from Casso Land & Imaging Services walked us through how his team is dragging decades of dusty, “dark” data into the digital age. Think land title work, document digitization, and the kind of workflow cleanup that makes mergers and acquisitions a whole lot smoother. Instead of drowning in paper, companies can now actually use their data, cut inefficiencies, and make faster, smarter decisions. It’s a mix of old-school industry grit and next-gen AI muscle and it shows how tech can unlock value hiding in plain sight. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    EP 71: Mathias Lia Carlsen from whitson

    Mathias has a knack for shaking up an industry that doesn’t exactly love change, and he’s doing it from the inside. As CEO of Whitson, he’s bringing petroleum engineering software into the cloud era, building tools that work in real time instead of waiting on clunky desktop updates. We talked about what it takes to get a traditional industry to embrace modern platforms, why seamless data integration is the real game-changer, and how Whitson Plus is helping make it happen. Somewhere along the way, we compared life in Norway to Houston, swapped taco recommendations, and even found a few similarities between fjords and tech. It’s a mix of innovation, culture, and just enough humor to remind you that oil and gas tech can actually be fun. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    EP 70: Michael Egan from Bunting Labs

    AI and GIS might not sound like the flashiest combo, until you hear what Bunting Labs is cooking up. Michael Egan breaks it down with John and Bobby: how they’re turning old-school geologic maps into clean, digital datasets, baking large language models into QGIS, and giving non-technical folks the power to ask spatial questions like pros. From landmen to transportation planners, this episode explores how tools like Mundi are cutting down analysis time and opening up the GIS world to way more people. It’s all about smarter maps, faster workflows, and making geospatial data way less intimidating. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Tired of clunky geoscience software that feels like it was built in the '90s? Same. That’s why we brought on Cameron Snow from Danomics to talk about how his team is shaking things up. He’s built a platform that actually makes life easier for geologists and engineers, no more wrestling with legacy tools just to run a few thousand wells. We got into how Danomics uses AI (without going full robot overlord), how the cloud isn’t just buzzword fluff, and why data management doesn’t have to suck. If you’ve ever cursed at reservoir modeling software, you’ll want to hear this one.
