Thank you to PBSHRM for the opportunity to connect with some of the most amazing HR folks around - people operations in the Permian is no joke! We have some of the most unique challenges and opportunities in the nation. I hope you will join me on September 12th at 9:00am to discuss recruiting in the Basin. Topics I will cover are long-term demographic trends, alternative sourcing techniques, and common pitfalls. What is important to you? Comment below if there is a recruiting topic in particular you would like me to cover!

🚀 "Care a Crew" Program — Strengthening Trust and Safety in the Workplace! At our Kent company, we believe that strong relationships between leadership and employees are the key to success, safety, and overall well-being on the job. Recently, we wrapped up the "Care a Crew" program with Glen Fyfe and IC&T team, an initiative designed not only to better understand the challenges our teams face but also to build trusting relationships with every member of the crew. Over the course of three days, we: 1️⃣ Engaged in ice-breaking activities and interactive exercises, fostering an atmosphere of openness and mutual understanding. 2️⃣ Participated in the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) alongside the team, immersing ourselves in their work to observe firsthand the challenges they tackle every day. 3️⃣ Held a final team interaction, reinforcing trust and providing our full support to the team in their critical roles, followed by recognizing and rewarding their professionalism and invaluable contribution. This has been an enriching experience for both us and our employees, as trust forms the foundation for a successful and safe working environment. We believe that initiatives like this help to improve communication, enhance safety, and increase team engagement. ✔ Hope you enjoy exploring our video by Kazybekbi Zhantore! 🎥👇 #CareACrew #TeamBuilding #SafetyWorkplace #Teamwork #Leadership

𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘀 Petroleum traps are geological formations that contain accumulations of oil and gas, making them essential targets for hydrocarbon exploration. Understanding the different types of petroleum traps is crucial for identifying potential reservoirs and optimizing exploration strategies. In this article, we will discuss the main types of petroleum traps, their characteristics, and their significance in the search for oil and gas reserves. *1. Structural Traps* Structural traps are formed by deformation of the Earth's crust, resulting in folds, faults, and other structural features that trap hydrocarbons. The most common types of structural traps include: - **Anticline Traps:** These traps form in areas where rock layers have been folded into an upward arch-like structure called an anticline. Hydrocarbons migrate upwards through permeable reservoir rocks and become trapped beneath impermeable cap rocks. - **Fault Traps:** Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred. Fault traps occur when hydrocarbons are displaced along fault lines and become trapped against impermeable barriers. *2. Stratigraphic Traps* Stratigraphic traps are formed by variations in the sedimentary rock layers that make up the Earth's crust. These traps are less dependent on structural deformation and more on the characteristics of the sedimentary sequence. Common types of stratigraphic traps include: - **Lenticular Sands:** These traps occur when permeable sandstone layers "pinch out" or terminate abruptly, creating a localized accumulation of hydrocarbons. - **Carbonate Buildups:** In carbonate reservoirs, hydrocarbons can accumulate in porous structures such as reefs, shoals, and buildups formed by the accumulation of calcium carbonate. *3. Combination Traps* Combination traps are traps that exhibit characteristics of both structural and stratigraphic traps. They often result from a combination of structural deformation and variations in sedimentary deposition. Combination traps can be particularly complex and may require sophisticated exploration techniques to identify and assess. *4. Unconventional Traps* Unconventional traps refer to reservoirs that do not fit neatly into the categories of structural or stratigraphic traps. These include unconventional hydrocarbon resources such as shale gas, tight gas, and coalbed methane. The trapping mechanisms in unconventional reservoirs often involve factors such as organic richness, natural fractures, and matrix porosity.

"Communication, communication, communication" - It's the construction industry's equivalent to the real estate phrase, "location, location, location". Like anything in life - you appreciate it so much more when you've experienced the lack of it. I'm sure everyone can attest to this. Keep up the good teamwork boys! #facilities #construction #facilityconstruction #oilandgas #pipeline #teamwork #communication

What's Your Hot Work Planning & Approval Process? When I ask a lot of people that question - the often jump right to the field execution phase of hot work. Safety meeting, getting the permit, gas monitoring, prepare the work area, add spark and fire watch resources and get to work. Those are just the direct costs, but for you and your site, in a live plant situation, there is likely have an entire process of planning, risk mitigation, hot work meetings, hot work package preparation and senior manager approvals BEFORE you can get to the field activities. Often - dozens if not hundreds of person hours happen in planning and approvals, with no certainty the hot work with be authorized. What if you could eliminate all that uncertainty and plan the work with a cold work permit.

Want to boost the efficiency of your frac operations? Look no further! An operator used Corva’s GeoCompletions solution to find important links between low pumping rates and underground geology. By bringing together different data types easily, they saw that low pumping rates correlated with deeper well positioning, and in some stages, next to and crossing a fault feature. Spend less time gathering relevant data and identify patterns quicker with Corva GeoCompletions! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eWit_ybj
