Are we poor at explaining things?
Posted on November 8, 2011 at 13:00 0 Comments 1 Like
I had an idea on Sunday afternoon to try to test how well the oil and gas industry is at explaining things compared to mainstream business, by asking my 4 year old daughter to select passages which caught her attention from a recent issue of Journal of Petroleum Technology and Fortune Magazine we had in our living room. I would set up the passages as a survey and invite technical professionals to rank them for whether they understood them, if they thought they would be helpful (to someone,…
Continue Macondo: information about gas bearing sand not passed on

Here's an interesting news story from Bloomberg about Macondo
My understanding of this story is that BP subsurface people had determined that the sand above the oil target zone might contain gas rather than water, and this information was not…
Does anybody care about both subsurface and surface data?

Does anybody care about both subsurface and surface data?
Or do all the people in the oil and gas industry who are involved with one, never get involved with the other?
I was thinking about this on the plane home from Trondheim this week, where I had been attending the excellent Integrated Operations conference, organised by NTNU. On the leg from Stavanger to London, I bumped into Jill Lewis from Troika International and Ugur Algan of Volantice, who had been…

brandy said… - Hi Karl,
Would love to visit with you about Digital Energy Journal! It looks great! Energy People Connect is simmilar, but with a totally different focus-we address the lifestyle issues around the energy industry and we are downstream and alternative as well. The premise is that the social/lifestyle context is an effective one in terms of getting people to identify with one another despite industry segementation and age differences. We don't touch upon technical issues at all-Would love to talk about cross promotion with you.

Jose Antonio Rodriguez Pimentel said… - In my opinion, it could be a two sharp knife, don't forget Enron: "Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow and other executives not only misled Enron's board of directors and audit committee on high-risk accounting practices, but also PRESSURED Andersen to ignore the issues". Enron was suposed to be in good shape, but the real world was at the back stage, euphemisticly speaking. Not always a third party can guaranty a succesful enterprise or plan.
