The Geology Vlog Podcast

A conversation with Chris about his experience working as a geologist in the oil and gas industry, including drilling prospects in Michigan, Oklahoma, and Illinois, mapping the subsurface throughout the Permian Basin, lots of talk about enhanced recovery techniques, directional drilling, a comprehensive overview of the petroleum system including seals, traps, source rocks, migration pathways, and reservoirs, and his take on the state of the energy industry and the way forward into the next decade. 

A conversation with Cory about his company Integrity Insitu including: measuring rock mechanics in the subsurface, geomechanics, rocks stresses, down hole measurement tools, applications towards civil engineering, soil mechanics, oil and gas reservoir dynamics, the oil and gas industry, a parlay into the life and times of Cory Fehr, as well as what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in research and development of new technology for the oil and gas industry. 

A conversation with Michael about being a geology student, motivations to study geology, career goals, bedrock mapping, environmental drilling, soil and sediment mapping, water quality, hydrology, hydrogeology, geophysics, passive seismic, Tremino machines, bedrock mapping, subsurface water flow, contaminant transport, environmental consulting, Michigan Geological Survey, American Institute of Professional Geologists, Western Michigan University.

A conversation with Will about wellsite geology, mud logging, collecting mud logging samples, drilling cuttings, cutting sample interval rates, drilling, the drilling industry, reservoir mechanics, reservoir management, and the oil and gas industry as a whole.  

A conversation with Eric Eckberg about gold mining, ore body deposition, analyzing rock core, hard rock geology, aspects of mining precious metals, and the future of mining and rare earth elements.

A discussion about life as an early career geologist, the software and inner workings of Cognitive Geology, some of the ins and outs of reservoir modeling and geologic modeling, some talk about AI and machine learning, and some dollars and sense about the oil and gas industry.

Doran Mauldin II and Neal S. Turluck discussing faulting and the influence of faulting on unconventional reservoir production.   Please see the link below for more information for Doran's company, Shalecase Energy.   There is also a link for the tectonic history of the Permian Basin.
