Snippets from the Episode "A lot of these transactions where a company is going out and acquiring either, whether they're profit equity backed or they're merging merger of equals, a lot of what we see from the midstream perspective on those types of mergers is a checkerboard pattern of crossed over dedications and midstream capacity." -John Stavinoha"As these companies consolidate and get bigger, they're seeking out efficiencies and cost savings and they're also going through a reprioritization of their inventory stack. And so, some of that's taking a little bit longer. There's a lot that goes into a lot of these large scale mergers." -Austin Lee"One of the things that we could hopefully see down the line is, know,  gas assets, hopefully coming back into the picture." -Austin Lee"The more proactive a client can be with reaching out to their support teams, whether it be on the legal side or on the land side, the better." -Brent Broussard Resources Need Help With A Project?

So it's fairly simple, but that's not to say it's totally foolproof." - Drew Lebowitz"The size of a project is really dictated by the project and energy capacity that you're looking for." - Sean Daly"Certain suppliers need an inverter, a power conversion system external to the container. There are some suppliers where those inverters are integrated in the container.  And I think we're seeing some more of that in the industry." - Sean Daly"I'd venture to say that they might have the best BESS book out there.
