Cority has been quietly building environmental, health, and safety software for forty years, and Amanda Smith runs the strategy keeping up with AI that changes every six months. She and Chuck get into why a system of record beats raw AI on life or death calls, how a 600 page permit went from months to minutes, the stat that 95 percent of employees are already using shadow AI, and the PDF problem that has every energy company stuck.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.

90% of the Oil Is Still in the Ground. This Is the Technology Built to Get It.
Jon Slominski, Founding AI Engineer at Collide, sits down with Chuck to break down what it actually takes to build AI that works inside a real oil and gas enterprise. From agent hierarchies that read and write across legacy systems, to a mapping interface that lets you chat your GIS data into shape, Jon shares what he's building, what wakes him up at 4am, and why the biggest unlock might still be the 90% of oil we haven't touched yet.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.

The Unsolved Problem Hiding Inside Every Oil and Gas Deal
Most energy companies buying billion dollar assets get handed a stack of hard drives and have zero clue what's on them.

TCU Sent College Kids Into the Permian Basin. Here's What Happened.
TCU's energy internship program is back for round two and the results are kind of wild. What started as a summer experiment with business students who knew zero about oil and gas turned into kids giving no-notes presentations on legacy well economics in just ten weeks. Nikki Morris, Executive Director of TCU's Ralph Lowe Energy Institute, and Ryan Haggerty, Owner at RHR Oil and Gas, break down the field trips from Diamondback frac sites to 70 year old vertical wells, how AI is changing the game for young talent but still can't replace the crusty old timer making the final call, and why the industry's biggest problem with 150,000 orphan wells in Texas might need a proactive solution before Washington forces 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.

Why Collide's CTO Left a Billion Dollar Company to Join 12 Employees
Canisius Rozario left a multi-billion dollar company managing 300 people to become employee number 12 at Collide. The CTO role at a seed-stage startup came with anxiety, stress, and constant noise about every new AI tool dropping daily. But it also came with the opportunity to build something real in an industry that solves actual problems, where bad answers don't just cost money, they kill people. Chuck and Canisius break down what it actually takes to go from a ChatGPT wrapper to enterprise-grade AI infrastructure, why oil and gas professionals are more impressive than tech bros, and how they're building models trained specifically on petroleum engineering exams. The team went from six months to build a pilot to days, and they're just getting started.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.

Why Every Oil & Gas Company Is Getting AI Strategy Wrong (And How to Fix It)
Most companies talk about AI strategy but freeze when it's time to actually implement. Collin McLelland shares how one E&P CEO cut through the noise by focusing on small, tangible wins—like automating regulatory filings that saved 1200 engineering hours. The real insight? Stop chasing sexy AI projects and start with workflows that deliver immediate ROI. Once teams see quick wins, adoption spreads fast and sophistication builds naturally.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.
