    The Sable vs. Coastal Commission Showdown, Explained | BDE 11.04.25

    California’s energy situation is getting messy, and the story behind it isn’t what most people think. Mark sits down with Mike Umbro, founder of Californians for Energy & Science, to break down how policy decisions, refinery shutdowns, and halted oil production are reshaping the state’s entire energy mix. They dig into why geothermal isn’t the quick fix it’s made out to be, how rising energy costs and job losses are hitting local communities, and the surprising environmental fallout from natural oil seeps along the coast. It’s a raw, honest look at what happens when politics and energy collide, straight from someone who’s been in the trenches. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Sable Offshore Stalled, BP’s ICC Win, Oil Glut or Tightness?, Waha $0 Gas | BDE 10.18.25

    California’s energy mess is heating up, and Kirk and Mark aren’t holding back. They’re calling out what happens when regulators, like the California Coastal Commission, start flexing too hard, leaving companies like Sable Offshore tangled in lawsuits over something as basic as fixing old oil platforms near Santa Barbara. Between the fallout from the 2015 pipeline spill, shrinking refining capacity, and a growing dependence on imported crude, California’s energy future looks messy at best. The guys dig into whether regulation is protecting the environment or just strangling innovation and property rights. And because no episode’s complete without a few curveballs, they also weigh in on Phil Mickelson’s surprise energy takes, Venture Global’s LNG drama, and the weirdly booming-yet-bloated Permian gas market. It’s sharp, fiery, and full of big-picture takes on how policy, money, and power collide in the energy world. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Revolutionizing Fracking with Real-Time Data | BDE 10.08.25

    Real-time frac data isn’t some future concept, it’s here, and it’s changing the way completions get done. Chuck Yates sat down with folks from ProFrac and Seismos to break down how AI, automation, and acoustic sensing are turning traditional fracking on its head. Matt Wilks and Panos Adamopoulos talk about ProPilot 2.0 and how closed-loop fracturing is giving operators instant feedback to fine-tune every stage. Then Larry Carroll and Steven Bourgoyne take it further, showing how machine learning and data-driven workflows are pushing completions toward adaptive, even autonomous, operations. From cutting costs to squeezing every drop of performance, this one’s a look at how the oilfield is starting to feel a lot more like sci-fi. Click here to watch a video of this episode.
