Every Gas Shortage Call Has Been Wrong, PE Dumps Assets & SLB Chases GPUs | BDE 07.28.26
Somebody spent 18 months modeling every well, pipe, and storage facility in the US gas system and came out calling for a shortage by 2028. Collide is not buying it, and the receipts go all the way back to Greenspan. Then it is deal season, with Magnolia grabbing Wildfire and Matador stacking up two more, all cash and no leverage. Plus SLB is quietly building a billion dollar data center business with Liberty, and somebody deserves a raise for selling that one.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Iran Kills US Troops, Houthis Blockade the Red Sea & Oil Shrugs | BDE 07.21.26
A listener named gopher27 fired back with Bastiat, Krugman, and Thomas Jefferson, and what followed might be the sharpest debate this show has had in two years. From whether Walmart really guts a small town to Middle East escalation rattling crude, a hurricane aiming at the refining corridor, and the messy fight over data centers, water, and farmland, the guys chase it all down.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Trump's $32M Hormuz Toll, Houthis Break Truce & Oil Nears $90 | BDE 07.14.26
Slap a 20% toll on oil tankers, add drones that can sink a ship for less than the price of a pickup, and you get a Strait of Hormuz that keeps running out of off ramps. From there it spirals into why a 141 year old Ohio brick maker got hammered by its power bill, how data centers are quietly rewiring the grid and hollowing out small towns, and whether big oil earnings are about to spark another round of Washington theater.read Old Man Coffeehttps://collide.io/old-man-coffee/old-man-coffee-the-2am-ledgerClick here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

US Bombs 90 Iran Targets, Oil Yawns, & Russia's Diesel Export Ban Detonates Crack Spreads | BDE 07.09.26
Four energy supply shocks landing on three continents at once, and somehow the oil traders got bored before the generals did. The crew works through strikes on Iran, Russia's diesel export ban, and how drones you could build in a garage are quietly rewriting global markets. Then a turn into Palantir CEO Alex Karp warning that the big AI models are out to eat their own customers, why the knowledge stuck in your employees' heads may be your best data, and what Collide is doing to capture it.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Trump's Big Oil Witch Hunt, $58 Cracks Spike & California's Refinery Graveyard | BDE 07.03.26
Gasoline creeps past four bucks and everyone reaches for the same villain, but the real story lives in the refining margin, not the gas station down the street. Arjun Murti of Veriten joins Mark Meyer for a holiday-weekend conversation on why big oil doesn't set your pump price, how refining flipped from the worst business in energy to the best, what California's shrinking refinery count really signals, and the Lee Raymond mindset that still shapes how smart operators ride the cycle.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Trump Blinks on Iran, Cushing Hits Tank Bottoms & Warren's Big Oil Shakedown | BDE 06.23.26
Cushing is scraping tank bottoms, the SPR is back at 1980s lows, and somehow there is room to argue about soccer, the World Cup, and the audacity of parking your car at the Buc-ee's pump. Kirk and Mark break down the new Iran MOU and what the Strait of Hormuz standoff means for crude, why production keeps slipping while exports surge, and the recycled windfall profits tax playbook out of Warren and Whitehouse. It lands on the SpaceX IPO and the builder versus blame mindset worth chewing on.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Lee Raymond Dies, Oil's Pavlovian "Deal" Swoon & Gunvor's $300M Enron Sequel | BDE 26.06.12
Lee Raymond gets his due first, the Exxon legend who turned the Valdez disaster into a safety overhaul and still holds the record for oil's biggest merger. Then it's whether the Iran deal is real or another oil market head fake, why trading houses like Gunvor are buying gas wells instead of pipelines, and the data center that paid fifty five million just to get its power line built four months early. Waha gas math, flaring pain, and a questionable David Lee Roth show close it out.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Paxton vs Talarico Goes Nuclear, ERCOT Chokes Data Centers & BP Burns Its Boss | BDE 26.05.28
BP just fired its chairman after eight months, and that somehow is not even the wildest thing this week. The Texas Senate race opens with Ken Paxton and James Talarico already swinging, vegan campaign ads and all. ERCOT's interconnection queue is buried under 410 gigawatts of data center dreams at a 1.5 percent approval rate, so off grid gas starts looking real. Plus a quant trading lab built with Claude, Cushing draws getting tight, the shaky Iran ceasefire, and a Wuhan study with some nerve.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
