Shawn Dawsey is a Petroleum Engineer out of THE Texas A&M University. He developed a passion for rod pumping and oil well optimization. He has studied the Dynomometer and Fluid Echometer in so much detail, he made a 50-hour eCourse on it. You can now learn every detail of how to maximize your pump efficiency and optimize operations and profits. Check out his website for more information.

Ms. Sue Pritchett is a technical engineer who infiltrated the geology world better than maybe anyone else we’ve had on this show! Her experience and wisdom are second to none, she’s always a beam of light at the conventions and in the conversations. Thank you for your friendship!

Doug Nester and Microseismic Inc have a partnership together, they have a history together, and they win together! Doug’s story is one to hear.

Charlie Stevens has been in the microseismic business since it pretty much began! He has seen the ups and downs of the energy industry and applying this technology to exploration projects. He is now part of the team that’s getting to take that 20-plus year experience and immediately apply the best practices to new businesses in energy like geothermal, carbon storage, and karst detection.

Dr. Thornton is the Chief Technical Officer for Microseismic Inc. and Keaton is a data scientist, they talk about the software and hardware of monitoring microsesmic events and making sense of the data. Allowing us to apply this technology to monitor hydraulic stimulation projects for oil and gas, geothermal, karsting environment mitigation and carbon storage seal integrity studies. The future is...

The President and Chief Operating Officer of Microseismic Inc. sits down with us to share his vision and his plans to help develop the company into future applications. With a background in computer tech, we’re going to see Mr. Hargraves apply the latest innovations in machine learning and AI to the microseismic world.

Charles is a man born to a geologist, born into the oil patch! Worked the tongs to make his way through college, got a geology degree, and helped pioneer the Eagle Ford play in South Texas. He explains why microseismic is so valuable for operators today, lets goooooooooooo!!

Dr. Peter Duncan shares the story of how he became a microseismic specialist, but also the birth of a completely new service to the energy business. Fascinating to hear everything he’s been through and how they are now applying it to new sectors of geoscience like karst monitoring, geothermal energy, carbon storage, and oil and gas. This is Microsiemic Inc.
