Landmen React to Landman TV Series - Season 2, Episode 3 & 4

H2S gets the Hollywood treatment, and let’s just say reality has some thoughts. The crew tears into how *Landman* portrays one of the oilfield’s most dangerous hazards, separating legit risks from TV-level exaggeration based on real-world experience. Along the way, the conversation veers into iconic Billy Bob Thornton one-liners, unhinged family drama, and the kind of business chaos that makes the show wildly entertaining, even when it stretches the truth. Equal parts industry reality check and group chat-style commentary, it’s honest, funny, and exactly how people who’ve actually been around the patch talk about this stuff.

Landmen React to Landman TV Series - Season 2, Episode 2

Chuck, Matt, Gates, and Boar got together to unpack “Landman” Season 2, Episode 2, and it turned into the perfect mix of oilfield therapy session and comedy hour, calling out the ridiculous drilling logic, roasting Cooper’s disastrous money moves, and laughing through the show’s dramatic family moments. They riff on everything from cartoon-level oilfield economics to cartel side hustles and legal chaos, plus one absolutely unhinged analogy comparing modern extraction to a Whataburger milkshake. And of course, the infamous “sins of the father” moment sparks plenty of debate. If you’re into oil and gas or just love watching a good TV meltdown get dissected by people who actually know the industry, this breakdown hits the spot.

Cloud vs On-Prem Compute & Data Security with Bill Arend (Microsoft) & Canisius Rozario (Collide)

Canisius and Bill dug into the whole on-prem vs cloud debate through the lens of AI, pointing out that massive compute needs and generative models pretty much force serious work into the cloud, with most operators moving to a hybrid setup rather than pure on-prem or multi-cloud. They spent a lot of time on trust, encryption, and data ownership, stressing that customer data stays isolated, is not used to train models unless you opt in, and that Microsoft’s job is to be the secure, scalable platform while companies like Collide handle the oil and gas specific workflows and “last mile” value. They also hit on why “we already have Azure and Copilot” is not the same as having a purpose-built solution, why a single-cloud plus good governance usually beats juggling multiple hyperscalers, and closed with a look ahead to a world where agents manage other agents and AI is wired into everyday work across legal, operations, and the field.

Drilling Down on Data with Bobby Neelon & John Kalfayan (Collide)

John and Bobby broke down how RAG actually works and why the real battle isn’t the LLM, it’s the chaos sitting in PDFs, Excel files, post-job reports, random folder structures, and handwritten scans. They showed how extraction, chunking, and embeddings fall apart when data is messy, and why clean structure, good metadata, and consistent organization matter way more than people want to admit. They also hit on how tools like MCP and text-to-SQL let AI pull from WellView, production systems, and databases in one place, instead of everyone living in 20 different apps. The takeaway was simple: AI gets powerful fast when the data is ready, but if the inputs are junk, you’ll just get faster junk back.

Case Study LifesAIver Initiative with John Argo (Continental Resources) & Chuck Yates (Collide)

Continental Resources’ John Argo sat down with us to talk about how AI can materially improve safety and performance in the oilfield, starting with the Lifesaver Initiative, a collaboration between multiple operators and workover companies to use AI and shared incident data to surface well- and job-specific risks before crews ever step on location. Drawing on his own path from first-generation oilfield kid to leading Continental’s Williston Basin, John connected the dots between the shale revolution (where U.S. production wildly outperformed every forecast), our still-low recovery factors (often under 20%), and the massive upside in using AI to capture tribal knowledge, diagnose problems faster, and turn scattered data into actionable frontline insight. He closed by tying it back to the culture that built Continental in the first place, embodied by Harold Hamm mapping wells at night from library logs and made the case that AI is the next big lever for the same mindset: more energy, safer operations, and better use of the resources we already have.

Collide Case Study Marketing Contracts with Aurian Norouzi (Kraken Oil) & Nick Smart (Collide)

Aurian Norouzi from Kraken Oil and Nick Smart from Collide break down how Kraken is using AI to replace some of the most time-draining midstream and commercial workflows, from digging through gas contracts to analyzing acreage dedications. They walk through real examples like automating North Dakota stripper-well filings, speeding up third-party forecasting with GIS data, and mapping contract dedications directly in Collide. A quick look at how AI is cutting manual work, reducing friction, and helping teams move way faster.

Collide Case Study Well Search & Regulatory Filing Automation with Buck Crum (Winn Resources) & Michael Cortez (Collide)

Michael and Buck broke down how well search and automated regulatory workflows are already helping small, lean production teams move faster. Instead of digging through PDFs, Buck can pull a full well history in seconds, and he sees the next big win as using AI for diagnostics, spotting trends, suggesting likely issues, and helping pumpers focus on what actually matters. They also talked about the huge amount of tribal knowledge stuck in people’s heads and how tools like transcripts and voice-to-text can finally capture it so newer hands aren’t starting from scratch.

Real world AI use cases with Todd Bush (Collide)

Todd broke down how we’re actually getting real ROI out of AI instead of chasing buzzwords, starting with the simple idea that domain expertise and clear value beats any hype cycle. He walked through the three places AI moves the needle G&A, capital, and risk and safety showing how agents can take over the daily grind like SCADA alert triage, revenue statements, AFEs, regulatory filings, and even capturing tribal knowledge before it walks out the door. He explained how Collide sits above systems like Quorum, WellView, SCADA, and accounting so teams can query everything in one place and see how a single well status change ripples across leases, contracts, and compliance. Regulatory use cases are exploding W-10s, injectors, flaring permits, methane reporting and mapping is becoming a key layer using tools like Mapbox. On the non-op side, the team is already extracting revenue statements and AFEs, pushing data into Aries and accounting, and setting up real ROI analysis for OBO partners. The takeaway start small, prove the value, then expand into a stack of agents that quietly take on the busywork so teams can focus on decisions that matter.

Landmen React to Landman TV Series - Season 2, Episode 1

Demi Moore storms into *Landman* Season 2 like she owns the place, instantly shaking up the oil patch with a leadership style that’s equal parts steel and swagger. The tension snaps from the jump, boardrooms turning into battlegrounds, wildcatters taking big swings, and Cooper somehow leveling up in the most unexpected way. Tommy’s playing his own dangerous game, Sam Elliott shows up with that signature gravitas that makes every family moment hit harder, and the whole season moves with this “anything can happen” energy. It’s messy, bold, and addictive in the best way, with twists and dialogue sharp enough to cut through pipe.

ProFrac STARS 2025 with Matt Wilks & Seismos

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.

The Secret Data Engineering Behind Industry AI

This episode is packed with big-picture energy talk and some seriously nerdy (but fun) data breakdowns. John Kalfayan from collide. and Chuck start with what’s really happening in oil and gas today before shifting into the challenges of putting AI to work in the field. From there, things get deep: contract dedications, what RAG actually means, how data chunking works, and the never-ending battle with duplicate info. We also weigh the costs of storage, querying, and running models, plus the tradeoffs between RAG and foundational models. If you’ve ever wondered about vector databases, data strategy, or just why we have a rant about sand, it’s all here. By the end, we hit on the human side too: education, privacy, and making sure the right people can access the right data.

Biomanufacturing the Future of Energy

Cemvita is taking microbes and turning them into an entirely new playbook for energy and manufacturing. Chuck sat down with CEO Moji Karimi and BioWell’s Paul Palmer to talk about how biology, AI, and genomics are teaming up to replace petrochemicals with bio-based alternatives. We’re talking everything from sustainable aviation fuel to biofertilizers to underground biorefineries that sound like science fiction but are already in motion. Along the way, they unpack how biomanufacturing could clean up supply chains, cut waste, and unlock new energy sources, all while building a circular bioeconomy that makes sustainability actually scalable. If you’ve ever wondered what the future looks like when bugs beat barrels, this one’s for you.

Office flings, awkward disclosures, and dating policies gone sideways, Janell Zeug, Founder & CEO of P3 HR Solutions, unpacks the real stories that made HR sweat, including the infamous Coldplay incident.

Inside the Global Uranium Market with Eric Keller

Nuclear is back, baby! But there’s a catch: the world is hungry for uranium, and we're running short. Turns out, countries like China, India, and Saudi Arabia aren’t waiting around—they’re ramping up reactors faster than you can say "energy crisis." Small Modular Reactors (think mini but mighty) could totally flip the script on how we power cities, AI data centers, and your neighborhood coffee shop. Our guest knows the ins and outs of uranium investments, the weird logistics of mining, and why nuclear might just be the unsung hero of clean energy, controversial, sure, but impossible to ignore.

Chuck Yates Got A Job
Welcome to Chuck Yates Got A Job with Chuck Yates. You've now found your dysfunctional life coach, the Investor Formerly known as Prominent Businessman Chuck Yates. What's not to learn from the self-proclaimed Galactic Viceroy, who was publicly canned from a prominent private equity firm, has had enough therapy to quote Brene Brown chapter and verse and spends most days embarrassing himself on Energy Finance Twitter as @Nimblephatty.
