“I have known Jim for seven years, and in that time I have come to respect him for his leadership, both as a thought leader and team lead, for his ability to get things done, and for his communication style. Jim has a knack for, and is a tenacious leader in innovation. He is the early adopter sought out by his colleagues for insight into new systems and processes. He has an insatiable curiosity that keeps him, and those around him, on the cutting edge of technology. He is adamant that change must occur where and when necessary, but mindful that what doesn’t bring value today or tomorrow must be tempered with practicality. While Jim is a persistent and divergent thought leader, he couples that with a strong need to deliver results in everything he does. He has a tremendous work ethic. His bias toward action is infectious to those around him, leading his teams to accomplish more. His communication style is very purposeful. While some may characterize him as “quiet”, those that know Jim know that he doesn’t speak to “fill the air”. When he speaks, what he says is very impactful, and valuable. I am grateful to have met Jim, and hope that we enjoy many years as colleagues in our professional lives, as well as friends outside of work. ”

Funding Announcement: The U.S. Department of Energy and the EPA announced $850 million in federal funding to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sectors. Methane Reduction: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and this funding aims to cut emissions significantly, supporting clean air and climate goals. Job Creation: The initiative will create good jobs, especially in disadvantaged communities, and support small oil and gas operators in adopting new technologies. Community Benefits: Applicants must show how their projects will benefit local communities, focusing on diversity, equity, and environmental justice

Worth a watch. I’m not full endorsing what is said, however I also am very against the slavish way some practitioners in the OT space rely on PERA to cover their own lack of any actual understanding of fundamental skills such as Networking, Endpoint Security, Application Security and more. It has a value as a thought exercise, but that’s pretty much all. The model in 62443 defining Zone and Conduit is far better, but needs a deeper understanding so of course many people also get that wrong. OT Security as a practice is disturbingly full of people that parrot the Bluffers Guide, or come from the wrong background.

The United States achieved a significant milestone in 2023, becoming the world's top exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), marking a pivotal moment in its energy dominance journey. This development signals a transformative shift in the present global energy landscape, with the U.S. exerting considerable influence on energy markets and geopolitics. The U.S.'s emergence as a major LNG exporter sets the stage for continued impact on the future of global energy trade and geopolitical dynamics, shaping strategic alliances and economic relationships worldwide. #LNG

🤖 Quantum key distribution (QKD) might be highly relevant for companies in the Oil & Gas industry, particularly in the midstream sector, because it offers unparalleled security for protecting critical data and communications infrastructure. 🛢️As midstream operations increasingly rely on digital systems for monitoring, control, and communication across pipelines and storage facilities, the risk of cyberattacks grows exponentially. QKD provides a revolutionary way to secure these sensitive data transmissions by using the principles of quantum mechanics 🤯, making it virtually impossible for others to intercept or tamper with communications without detection. It might be worth the time exploring how by adopting QKD, midstream companies can safeguard their operations against evolving cyber threats, ensuring the integrity and reliability of their supply chains in an increasingly interconnected and vulnerable digital landscape.

According to just-released data from the Environmental Protection Agency, methane emissions across all major oil and gas basins in the U.S. have fallen 44 percent since 2011. This has occurred even as our country continues to produce more crude oil than any other nation ever has. https://lnkd.in/ezW7tSKN

In the current edition of Oil IT Journal https://oilit.com (Number 278) my editorial considers how much information we are allowing to "leak" into third party large language models - for possible future use by competitors. And (for subscribers) more from the 2024 EAGE Digital event, reports from Norwegian FORCE event on, inter alia, "strategic misrepresentation" in reserve estimation, on the "impossibility" of getting data out of OSDU, on TotalEnergies semantic NLP that is to "revolutionize oil discovery" ... and lots more good stuff.

We walk through formation targets, geographies, base declines, and cube development effects. We also investigate the surprises and look at good and bad case studies. This topic is important for both the oil and gas macro picture.
