À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to Conventionally Uncouth with Reed Goodman. The show that gives the mic to the men and women who’ve been drilling, pumping, producing, and wildcatting for decades, long before shale. This show catalogs knowledge, shares stories, and reminds us: there was a life before shale. And there will be one after. Stories straight from the oilfield, real insights, lessons learned, and (probably) a healthy pour of whiskey.2025 Digital Wildcatters, Inc Nature et écologie Science Sciences de la Terre

    Reed sat down with Tadd Wallace, the guy steering the ship at C3 Oilfield Services, and let’s just say this one’s packed with real-deal oilfield wisdom. From breathing new life into old conventional wells to experimenting with hydrocarbon-based fluids, Tadd’s got a playbook that blends tradition with innovation. We got into the nitty-gritty of how veteran knowledge, shared data, and a little outside-the-box thinking can completely change the game when it comes to efficiency and production. It’s part war stories, part strategy session, and all about how the oil patch keeps evolving.

Thank you Andy for the time and the look inside a country boy’s brain on Leasing, Land, Minerals, Ranching, and growing up with a Geo for a dad!
