I was looking on e-bay and found a pretty slick looking 1950's looking microphone. Before long, after some reflections into the bottom of a glass of gin and tonic, I had an epiphany.
It occurred to me that there just might be some people out there that would not mind hearing a monthly podcast -- occurring mid month, every month. I would hit on the state of the oil and gas economy and my fearless forecast (or at the least, factors to watch for) for the upcoming months). I would also seek listener questions that can be answered in a sentence or two. Nothing too lawfully technical. This will not be a course on oil and gas law. Things that you might want to ask an expert witness on land, leasing and title (like me).
Let me know here of your interest. I think that it might be fun for me to promote my basic agenda, which is to offer contributions, through a vast and varied knowledge of our industry, as a value added benefit to the many participants in this network who are forming opinions and seeking solutions in an ever-changing and ever-more-informed society, involving landowner/company negotiations and operations. This is doing the "good work" that needs to be done. I just hope that I am doing it.
I think it would be fabulous. I've been actively learning about the oil industry and leasing process for a year, and still a novice that wants to learn as much as I can.
An expert like yourself willing to share a vast amount of knowledge, some of which the average mineral owner would never know, is priceless.
