Speaker B: Leland, how long have you been involved with the Tri State Oil and Gas Convention?

Speaker A: Uh, two years. So, um, we. Renee Cudd is a. Is a good friend of mine and that Bobby Joe's widow and she lives here in Woodward. And, uh, I've known Renee for several years through the oil and gas industry. She has a big horse sale and so, uh, she come to me a couple years ago. So in 2020, everything shut down, including the trusted gas convention. Um, so they. In the midst of that, the person that was chairing this passed, uh, away. And so they was like, we need. We need to bring this back. And they blinked their eyes. And five years later, in 2025, we brought it back and she asked me to chair it. And so, uh, that's. That's what. I've been doing this for now for two years. So. But I was a part of this convention, when I was in the oil and gas industry myself, I companies uh, I worked for had booths up here and so I'd always go to it.

Speaker B: So yeah, well, uh, western Oklahoma, Northwest Oklahoma, and of course that tri state area, Kansas and Texas. Knows a lot about the energy industry, has a long experience in the energy industry. So hey, why not bring everybody together in one location? It's going to be Thursday, August 6th at the Woodward Conference center, the Tri State Oil and gas convention. Seven, uh, 30 that morning. Breakfast. That's when the exhibits open up. Lunch at 11:30, 5:30 cocktail hour, 6:00', clock, dinner and awards. A couple of heavy hitters in the energy industry. Tom Ward is the lunch speaker that evening. It'll be Harold Hamm.

You know, I mean you know of these gentlemen. You know Tom of uh, Tom Ward and Harold Ham. Talk to me. You said Tom Ward's company is busy right now?

Speaker E: Yes, they're actively exploring in, in central and western Oklahoma right now. So I have some friends that are actually doing some work for Mach and, and I've, I've worked for, for Chesapeake Sand Ridge and MACH in western Oklahoma. So they, they're actively, actively drilling in, in the area. So that's good to see that.

Speaker B: Have you uh, so you, you yourself have worked for some of Tom Ward's.

Speaker E: Yes.

Speaker B: Companies.

Speaker E: All three of his companies.

Speaker B: Wow. Did you ever have the opportunity to run into him personally?

Speaker E: I never did get to meet him. I never did run.

Speaker B: What have you heard about him?

Speaker E: Well, um, heard he's a good guy and everyone that I uh, know that's worked for his company's long term has been extremely happy, takes very good care of them.

Speaker B: So my kind of guy to work for then. And you say you've heard of this other newcomer? This uh, this Harold Ham guy, Harold

Speaker E: Ham, that, that is, that is the guy in the oil and gas industry, has the ear of uh, the president and the elites in Washington and also wrote a $974 million check to settle his divorce with his wife. That's, that's pretty impressive.

Speaker B: Uh, I don't think I realized until you told me this five minutes. I remember the big divorce settlement. I don't think I realized he literally wrote a check to pay that bill, a personal check.

Speaker E: He took a picture of it and you know, it was kind of a, kind of a flex I think. $974 million personal check. I believe her name was Sue Ann Arnold. If you look at the name on the check, you can check Google and you say fact check me on. You say she immediately, she immediately moved into the Forbes list of the richest women in America.

Speaker B: And so that, let's assume that at least uh, probably cut his net worth by a third. What do you think? Did she get half?

Speaker E: Was it, I don't know. You'd like to think the guys would insulate themselves from, from uh, when they get to get to that level of business. But uh, he's still, still going strong. They're still uh, still making money and still exploring.

Speaker B: So somebody texted us and said uh, looking for wheat hay for sale. That's probably going to be for tradio coming up at 10 o' clock or heyday. Wednesdays on today and ag with Jimmy Clark at noon. Uh Frank, you were telling me yesterday you've been in the, you've worked in the oil field for about 25 years, right? Got into it right out of high school.

Speaker A: Mhm.

Speaker B: And you said you followed in the family footsteps and which side you decided to go on?

Speaker E: I went to the drilling side where most of the people and most of the opportunities in western Oklahoma are in the completion side and production side. We talked about cud. There was a lot of opportunities there for some snubbing. There's a lot of opportunities uh, uh, on those sides of the well field. But I followed my dad's footsteps and went into the drill drilling side.

Speaker B: Does your family also have a background in agriculture?

Speaker E: Yes. Yeah, my family's uh, been in western Oklahoma, uh, farming and ranch and pre statehood. So I have deep uh, connections to western Oklahoma.

Speaker B: I'm wondering because I was uh, looking at this uh, wheat hay for sale or looking for wheat hay and it made me think that uh, when I was doing exploring energy those five and a half years, a lot of discussion of agriculture with energy and Those two, those two industries coming together. Do those two industries work well together out here?

Speaker E: Absolutely. Uh, so there's a large majority of our farmers and ranchers that have been able to make it through the lean years with subsidizing uh, uh, from the oil and gas industry, the lease checks and royalty checks, uh, selling water, land damages. And, and I know that there's uh, many, many, many people in the area that have been extremely blessed and been able to grow their operations because of uh, because of money from the oil and gas industry or uh, like my situation, I kind of uh, call it hobby farm or hobby ranch. And I am you know, using, using the wages from the oil and gas industry to make that happen.

Speaker B: Who's your current employer?

Speaker E: My current employer. Working for Permian Resources in West Texas and New Mexico.

Speaker B: How long have you worked with them?

Speaker E: Well I'm contracting for them but I've been with them for three and a half years now, so almost four years.

Speaker B: In your 25 year period, have you moved around a lot with different companies?

Speaker E: I've tried not to but unfortunately uh, that's had to happen a few different times. Companies shutting down, uh, slowdowns in the industry and uh, uh, work projects drying up. You know, whenever an area has not become profitable anymore, you know they cease operations and you have to go find a new spot somewhere. So uh, my resume doesn't look as uh, jumbled uh, up as some people I know. I've tried to stay, tried to stay in one spot, try to pick good spots. I'm in fantastic spot right now.

Speaker B: So can you control that? I mean really if you're in the energy industry doing what you do, can you to a large extent control whether or not you move around or is it just unavoidable?

Speaker E: It's ah, sometimes unavoidable. Uh, um, so I'm contracting directly for the EMP company right now, so I'm able to stay in uh, the area of my choosing. But, but when I've uh, worked as a third party directional driller for a directional drilling company, you're basically at their mercy. And, and that's, that's how I've uh, gotten experience in basins all over the United States. When, when a new basin opens up, uh, usually one of the, one of the, or had been one of the first guys they'd send to a new area to go go check it out and get established.

Speaker B: So when you said your father was in the industry before you did, he was at the same, you know, 30 years ago. Were guys moving around?

Speaker E: No, no he, he was, uh, he, he went to work in the industry during the, during the boom for, uh, Laughlin Brothers Drilling and got on one of the rigs in western Oklahoma. He actually came out from, came out from Arizona, left the, the movie industry and old Tucson studios in Southern Arizona and came to work, came, uh, to work in the oil fields in western Oklahoma in the late 70s.

Speaker B: Uh, somebody texted us. I have not seen that sod buster you're talking to in a while. Just saying hello. I don't know who that is. There's no name. I got a number. I don't know who the name is. I suppose it's somebody you know.

Speaker E: If I owe you money, we'll, we'll settle up after, after the, after the show is over.

Speaker B: 8:43. That's Frank Sullivan over there. I'm talking to him. Nathan Brewer filling in for Sean Wilson on the Exploring Energy show here on 97.6.5 KECO. If you have minerals and royalties, be my guest. David Allen. Guest is a certified mineral manager, has been doing this for four decades. Uh, this can be a complicated subject. So it really does help to have somebody who knows what he's doing, who's up on all the laws and the rules and has this experience. And he's a good guy, man of integrity, a guy who's happy to talk business with you, help you get the most out of your royalties. David A. Guest 4053-4186-9840-5341 86. 98, uh, you're home for a little bit on a break. When you go back, you'll be going back to West Texas, correct?

Speaker E: Actually, New Mexico.

Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry, New Mexico.

Speaker E: Yeah, in between, uh, Hobbs and Carlsbad, out in the lovely federal desert that we have out there. It's federal, federal land where we've been drilling for the last few months.

Speaker B: Is it, roughly speaking, hotter there than it is here?

Speaker E: No, it's actually been hotter here than it has there. Uh, my last hitch on, we got rain every few days, which is surprising, uh, for that area, rain. And we had nice days of cloud cover, so it was, uh. Come back here to get into the heat.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: What do you tell, I mean, you're 45 years old, you got kids, and, uh, when you talk to younger people, do you talk to them about the energy industry and do you, do you tell them what to expect? Do you talk to people in there, like anywhere between the ages of 16 and, I don't know, 25 who are looking at getting in the Industry.

Speaker E: I actually try to talk them out of it. I don't want to be uh, doom and gloom. I'm actually an optimist. Uh, but um, AI will take my job, the job that I have. And AI is coming for a lot of the jobs in the oil and gas industry. So uh, if that's a plan that you have to get into a segment of the oil and gas industry, you really need to, really need to look and make sure that it's not going to be a job that AI can take over.

Speaker B: Wow. So it's making inroads even into energy.

Speaker E: It is already right now in my line of work as a directional driller we have uh, some directional drilling software programs that uh, are extremely successful in the field and they are actively replacing men on location with uh, with AI software.

Speaker B: Wow.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: What is this going to do to the energy industry?

Speaker E: Well uh, the name of the game is try to get people off of location. Try to get as many people uh, into, into basically oil and gas data centers in Houston, Dallas and Oklahoma City. Try to get people off location and ultimately cut costs. With the AI program you can have a guy that's an experienced directional driller that's looking over multiple rigs and the software is controlling following the well plans and one man to look over multiple rigs where it used to take two guys to staff a rig. So uh, it's money saving. And also the insurance companies really have a lot of say in what goes in the industry. Liability sake. And removing people from location makes the cost cheaper on that end too.

Speaker B: Ah, I hadn't even thought of that. The energy aspect, the uh, uh, insurance, uh aspect.

Speaker E: Insurance and OSHA aspect of it. Try to get people off location. Less people actually touching things with their hands. Uh, automation. Automation and AI is the way it's going.

Speaker B: Yes. AI doesn't file a work or workers comp claim, does it?

Speaker C: No.

Speaker E: AI doesn't call in sick. AI doesn't have uh, a family emergencies. It's uh, just the uh, way things are going though. Wow.

Speaker C: Wow.

Speaker B: I had not considered AI in the energy industry but I mean I guess it'll touch all industries.

Speaker E: It's going to get everyone at some point, some aspect. So.

Speaker B: 96.5 Kecos, the Early Morning Show. 13 minutes away from the top. That's Frank Sullivan. I'm Nathan. Have I gotten close to making commit? I'm getting very close to making commitment. I got this stack of papers over here. I don't know what's going on the exploration energy show.

Speaker D: I mean because when they're in a bind. They're in a bind. You want that company to think of you first. Oh, we need this call, Brock. You call me. Uh, we'll get it taken care of.

If they call me, they're expecting me to get whatever task done to a farmer. Tractor, combine gets them up and running. Uh, he's back in the field, makes some money. Guy in the oil field, their piece of equipment's running again. That makes them money. Solves that problem. I'm Brock Kalk, and my company is American Hose and Supply.

Speaker B: Right now on the back porch of KECO radio, it's about 81 degrees. Sky's mostly clear, humidity 66%, which is. I mean, it's high for us. It's dropping earlier, like an hour ago is about 70, uh, percent. So it's down to 66%. It's gonna keep dropping through the day, which will actually give us a little bit of help. I mean, if the humidity drops, it's gonna give us a little bit of help on the heat index. Yes, but we do need rain. We need moisture. Actually.

Speaker F: It's gonna make it really muggy, but.

Speaker B: And, um, not much wind right now.

Speaker F: No, no, we're good on the wind.

Speaker B: And I'm trying to decide how I feel about that.

Speaker F: I know. Well, if you're inside, it's great.

Speaker B: Okay. At 5:21, did you feel it? At 5:21 this morning, did you feel it?

Speaker F: I fell asleep. What was I supposed to feel?

Speaker B: At 5:21 this morning, I felt it.

Speaker F: What did you feel?

Speaker B: In the Texas Panhandle, 38 kilometers. I don't know why they measure it this way. South of south, southeast of Spearman, north of Pampa, there was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake.

Speaker F: Really?

Speaker E: Yes.

Speaker B: And at, uh, 5:21 this morning, I was sitting in my house and I felt. You know how when you're in a room somewhere near a busy street or a major street.

Speaker F: Yeah.

Speaker B: And a truck, like a big vehicle traffic, and there's just this little. Just a little, you know, rumble? Um, Just a little.

Speaker F: Yes. Those are called jake brakes.

Speaker B: But, yes, I felt that. And you know what it sounds like when you're in a house and there's this little settling? Just this little. Just a very quick little. Okay. I heard and felt that. I mean, it only lasted second, second and a half. It was quick.

Speaker F: Almost like thunder.

Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Yeah, it was a little. It was very fast. It was like that. And I remember my first thought was, I guess a truck passed by. But then I realized, no truck that passed by. I wonder if there was maybe an earthquake somewhere.

Speaker A: Wow.

Speaker B: Well, then fast forward an hour. I get here, Landry walks in and says, hey, did you feel something this morning? I said, yeah, I did. He said, well, I did too. And they're saying, uh, there was a earthquake in the Texas Panhandle. Wow.

Speaker F: So I looked at the twin telepathy thing.

Speaker A: Huh.

Speaker F: Huh?

Speaker B: No, it was a real thing. Well, lo and behold, Jimmy Clark said he felt it. Aaron Kalk said his dog woke up.

Speaker F: Oh, okay. Wow.

Speaker B: And Aaron looked at his, uh, phone at 5:21.

Speaker F: And you know what? I was awake, but I couldn't hear anything. But I don't. I don't feeling anything.

Speaker B: If I'd been in a room with a TV on or if, you know, people, I'm not sure I would have noticed.

Speaker F: Well, uh, my husband sleeps with a sound machine, so I hear nothing.

Speaker B: But I happened to be in a room that was, you know, quiet. No noise.

Speaker F: Yeah.

Speaker B: And I mean, it was just quick, but I felt it. And, you know. Oh, that's interesting. Well, and we had people texting in. Somebody north of Woodward felt it. Leedy. They felt it. Sweetwater felt it east of Custer City. Jimmy Clark. South of us felt it.

Speaker F: Right.

Speaker B: And in fact, I saw, uh, some news outlet posted it on Facebook and there were, you know, comments. Somebody down at Quanah, Texas, way down there, claimed to have felt it.

Speaker A: Wow.

Speaker F: Uh, so that's. I mean, that's a pretty good one.

Speaker B: Five. Yeah. In fact, there's. That's one of the biggest that they've had in the Texas panhandle in years.

Speaker F: Crazy.

Speaker B: Uh, somebody texted us from Lidi. Yes. We felt it at Leedy. The wife said a picture fell off the wall.

Speaker F: Holy cow. I mean, if it's not going. Pictures of the wall, that's a, uh, really good one.

Speaker B: I mean, we've all seen the footage of California, uh, earthquakes.

Speaker E: Yeah.

Speaker B: And what happens in a. In a business, you know, and stuff. Shelves and stuff like this.

Speaker F: Right.

Speaker B: And I've always wondered what that would be like. I don't. Not that I want to experience.

Speaker F: Yeah, no, me either.

Speaker B: But. But this was so quick. And we're so far away from the episode here, you know, in Elk City. We're so far away from the episode. I really wonder, though, if you were near it. I wonder what it was like for people there.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker F: Ah, I can't imagine, because five's pretty good.

Speaker B: Five's pretty good size.

Speaker F: I bet that was a little scary, to be honest.

Speaker B: I think that would freak me out.

Speaker F: Right.

Speaker B: If I was near a big earthquake like that.

Speaker F: Especially woken up with that.

Speaker B: What are you supposed to do? Are you supposed to go stand in a doorway?

Speaker F: Yes. Or go outside.

Speaker B: Okay. That's what I think. I think being outside's the best.

Speaker F: I agree.

Speaker B: Stuff's not around you to fall on you.

Speaker F: Yeah. But, yeah, they say a doorway is the best. Or underneath a strong table or something in case, you know, your house caves in. You want something to be over you.

Speaker B: I think this morning that what I experienced. I think, no. I'm good with earthquakes.

Speaker F: You don't ever want to feel anything else?

Speaker B: I don't need anymore. I am plenty. Lift up on earthquakes.

Speaker F: I felt one in Washington whenever I was visiting my girls up there. They didn't feel it, but I felt it. Yeah. I was like, how did you not feel that? They're just used to it now.

Speaker B: Do they have. Of course. That's near Northern California in the fall.

Speaker C: It is.

Speaker F: Yes.

Speaker B: So they get a lot of earthquakes

Speaker F: and they do have quite a few. Yeah. Yeah. And they're not like real big or anything. The ones that they feel, you know, it was just kind of a little. I was in bed and I felt the bed moving. It was.

Speaker B: Do they always happen at that time of day?

Speaker F: Right. I know you don't ever get a two.

Speaker B: A, uh, two. Two in the afternoon. Why don't we get those? Tony, thanks for sitting in with me. I appreciate it. Of course, we're sitting at about, uh, 81 degrees. We're going to hit 101 heat index upwards of 108. Be careful, stay hydrated, please drink a lot of water. Light colored clothing, stay indoors if you can and keep listening. Really the best way to battle the heat is to keep listening all day long. 96.5 Kelly City. Pick up on a dirt road kicking up dust. That's what country sounds like. 96.5 K E C O Elk City.
