Me: What do you do for a living?
Girl on Bumble: I do excel for an oil company.
I initially winced at how dumb the answer was and then later realized that I was just mad that she could so accurately describe so much of my career in so few words.
Jokingly invited my oldest son’s teacher to go to Colorado with me next weekend to get away from the heat and she gave me her phone number and said let’s start with a date first. Definitely was not trying to make that happen. This school year might get weird.

Training the next generation of oil and gas professionals. Now that the basics of finding oil are out of the way, I will be teaching an advanced workshop on gas station nutrition and how to choose the right attorney for their first divorce.

I used to have 80+ service hands traveling internationally. At least a couple times a year, one of them would go AWOL and I’d get a call from a mad wife. I’d always cover, but those hands knew they weren’t allowed to turn down jobs in the future.
Celebrating Friday Night EFT Roll Call by getting rid of this garbage. In a moment of weakness, I let a woman bring this poison into my house, and I allowed it to share a space in my refrigerator with my beloved Shiner Bock. Never again.

My 4 y/o is by far the best date. Good conversation, orders the cheapest thing on the menu, and is always happy to listen to Texas country music on the way home in my truck.
I’ve been having problems staying connected to my wireless printer lately. Looks like it’s because one of my neighbors is also connected to it. Just had a picture of ground beef pop out of the printer during the middle of a conference call.
When I said that I wanted to be able to buy a frac spread one day, I was hoping that the possibility arose because I was rich and not because the price of horsepower had plummeted to nothing.
I’ve learned a lot over the last 2 days about how AI will be replacing oilfield geologists. While I do understand the negative effects that this step closer to the singularity will have on the mail order bride industry, I look forward to the improved customer service at GameStop.
BRV has not put out any quality content ever since his gray sweatpants pic. Art has been dispensing his oilfield expertise since Spindletop. His knowledge, experience, and flexibility are why I was one of first subscribers on OnlyFans.
I see why you only show that to a few
@willrayvalentin
The real question is why anyone would pay to see that.
Especially compared to real data that I showed in my last response.
Just got reinstated into my MBA program. Shoutout to my finance professor who thought my politics and world views in 2021 were “borderline extreme” and “not applicable to the discussion post topics”. I’ve only gotten worse.
@FracSlap
So he pulled you out of the car and beat you in front of your wife? That’s pretty messed up because you know she probably could have saved you if she felt like it.
Just ate “breakfast sushi” from a food truck in central Texas. In the imminent event of my passing from this world to the next, I am willing my X (formerly Twitter) account to

My 8 y/o is making beats today. My worst fears were that he would one day end up in OFS sales or petroleum engineering. Now I have to worry about him potentially becoming a DJ. Being a parent is not for the faint of heart.
Hard to believe that the cork in this premium bottle of wine broke in half while I was tripping out. Thankfully I was able to run a spear and get the fish. Big thanks to
@BuckQuivas
for recommending his fave to me.
BlackRock just gave me $600 mil to install a direct air capture plant next to the volcano. It will be powered primarily with renewables. The remaining 98% of the power needed will come from organic coal.
Raspberry Pi programming a Raspberry Pi Pico with code written by ChatGPT. I’m asking it to do pretty mundane things, but it’s been flawless so far. Only
@oilmutt
with appreciate this.
I got signed up to read to my son’s class this Friday so I figured this would be more age appropriate than excerpts from Industrial Society and Its Future by Theodore Kaczynski.
I was told by God in a dream last night that he would blackout the Sun today unless I could find one mildly ethical and legitimately profitable OFS company.
Checking into roll call a day late, but with an El Tiempo Margarita and a former D1 athlete that’s almost as tall as I am. I can’t wait to start making some future pro athletes with her tonight.

Who’s on and what are we drinking?
Last sober Friday of dry January!
Big week on the internet from Zyn Bans to LNG permit cancelations…
Cheers all! cc:
@EnronChairman
Of all my vices, women have come the closest to bankrupting me, driving me crazy, and sending me to an early grave.
She could have literally pointed the vent in any other direction.
Like most conspiracy theories:
- adamantly denied by perpetrators
- polarizes the public
- spread by problematic individuals
- kinda true
- involves landmen and oil money

Only of my favorite EFT experiences was being introduced at a Midland happy hour to someone as Kermit Andrews and them immediately telling me that there were actually two towns nearby named Kermit and Andrews.

Slow week for Energy, aside from war in the Middle East?
We're reworking the tag list, so check ins tonight will be added to the list for next week!
Check in, what're you drinking?

How do you sell or scrap half of your capital equipment without having to deal with the pesky reality that you’ve been carrying its book value at 4 or 5 times its actual value?
Asking for a friend (entire OFS industry).
@FracSlap
The company is a fraud or the tech is. Two different things. We all accept that certain tech is a fraud, but we sell it to our customers because they sell that lie to their investors.
Looking at you - dissolvable frac plugs
Just went to my first amateur robot battle. Truly a celebration of neurodivergence. Somewhere between my freshman engineering classes and an AAPG happy hour.
Deceptively pleasant day about 30 miles east of predicted landfall. My 8 year old thinks he’s the next Reed Timmer so he needed to get down on the beach to take readings with his own anemometer today.
Nothing like trekking through a Marriott parking lot in a swimsuit with a Glock wrapped in a towel just to find out that the audible Armageddon of aftermarket security system mayhem unleashed upon your fellow hotel compatriots was just caused by your radar detector dismounting.
Just turned down a job that I would have taken in a heartbeat 5 months ago. It makes no sense that my declining net worth has inflated my self worth. Really hoping this unfounded confidence leads to some Dallas-based PE group giving me way too much money for no reason one day.
Respected elected official: I like your shirt. What does it say?
Me: I never pull out.
Tee Time Driller: *gets prohibited from bringing guests to the club
Come see me at the IADC Advanced Rig Technology Conference today. I’m easy to spot. I’ll be one of the small handful of guys here that’s had sex with a real human woman.
My ex-wife replaced my kids’ 55 year old Salvadoran nanny with a 25 year old tall brunette. First the first time in a long time, she and I are on the same page.
Thankful to be spending this Christmas with the ones that I love and not latched up to a sketchy well floating off the coast of some third world country.
Bread machine paddle broke midway through making yeast rolls. Non-productive time limited to <10 minutes. Will be sending failed parts and datalogger files to
@stresseng
for failure analysis.
Just spent the last few days touring industrial facilities outside of oil and gas. As much as I hate to say anything good about safety and environmental people in the oilfield, they are exponentially better than their counterparts in adjacent industries.
