What's not to learn from the self-proclaimed Galactic Viceroy, who was publicly canned from a prominent private equity firm, has had enough therapy to quote Brene Brown chapter and verse and spends most days embarrassing himself on Energy Finance Twitter as @Nimblephatty. Chuck's diverse and entertaining guests do agree on one thing - Chuck Yates Needs a Job.

The Future of Lithium with Daniel Layton and John Burba of IBAT

May 07 2024 48 mins

I wanted to learn more about lithium because this mineral is a big deal for batteries. Phones EVs everything needs lithium. So I had the guys from International Battery Metals on to talk lithium and their extraction methodology. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) is a thing, a real thing, even Exxon is doing it. Think about it, oil and gas guys, if you got waste water, why aren’t yo

Kevin Searcy, Odessa’s School Bond Election

Apr 23 2024 37 mins

I had heard all about the Midland County school bond election last winter. $1.4 billion for new buildings, upgrading old ones, new technology. I didn’t realize that right next door the Ector County Independent School District had a similar election for $423 million that passed too. A large part of the proceeds will be used for the Career & Technical Education Center. CTE soun

Are family offices really investing in oil and gas deals?

Apr 16 2024 46 mins

The head of Stephens Inc.’s Energy practice told me he’s got family offices investing in oil and gas. I cried “bull shit, that’s up there with UFOs, Bigfoot and pleasant ex-wives.” Keith doth protest so I had him, Brad Nelson and Evan Smith on to convince me otherwise. Cool discussion on family offices - how to find them, how they operate, how they view the energy world.

Doug Kris, SVP Corporate Communications for Diversified Energy Company PLC

I didn’t know much about Diversified Energy and their approach to the oil and gas business and they operate more wells than anyone else in the US so I wanted Doug to come on and tell me all about it. Pretty cool stuff they’re doing to manage end of life issues for old producing wells. Plus some really cool finance stuff they’re doing - securitizing debt in the insurance marke

Mark is one of the smartest guys I know so I had him on to explain to me what the hell is going on in the economy, the implications for the energy business and what his fund is looking at these days. Pretty fascinating opportunity in hydroelectricity. Mark is buying century old dams, modernizing and selling electricity into the grid. Cool way to play the demand for baseload power.

Greg Little aka Bunkie Perkins

Pretty cool to talk to the dude that runs the Bunkie Perkins account on X, sports sarcasm at its finest. And it’s even cooler when you talk about starting an oil and gas company with a rural SBA loan.

Angst

When I first started the podcast, Collin would always ask me: How long is this week’s episode? And did somebody cry? It did seem like in the early days, when the industry was hanging by a thread, we did a lot of serious mental health content. I joked I was the Brene Brown of the oil business. So I did a thing this week. I went on my friends Donnie and Stephanie’s podcast called
