ONEOK is buying a set of NGL pipelines for $280 million. The announcement says a lot about contemporary oil & gas strategy. Let’s start with the corporate speak: ====== "This strategic acquisition provides the quickest pipeline connectivity to and within the critical supply and demand centers for our NGLs, refined products and crude oil assets in the Gulf Coast," said Pierce H. Norton II, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. ====== The word “quickest” is incredibly important here. As I’ve remarked before, today’s oil & gas industry is all about time to value. Investors have no patience for future windfalls. The future is way too uncertain. They want to see value today, and often that value is from increased cash flows, a fraction of which go directly to shareholders. You can compare this path – buying existing assets – with the alternative of building your own new pipeline system. Building new systems can be expensive, slow (because of permitting and just general construction limitations), and risky. It’s much easier to buy something in place and integrate it in short order. That’s what ONEOK is committing to do. Another critically important part of the above quote is the mention of the Gulf Coast. Again, with uncertainty at unprecedented levels across the oil & gas landscape, investors prefer a geographical concentration in the most resilient areas of supply and demand. The Gulf Coast certainly qualifies. The Gulf Coast has existing infrastructure, access to land- and water-based distribution networks, and operational efficiencies that will allow it to remain competitive far longer than other, less favorable marketplaces. What then did we learn about contemporary oil & gas strategy from this ONEOK announcement? ➊ Moderate, tangible value today is worth much more than potentially larger, more speculative value in the future. ➋ The Gulf Coast should be one of the last regions to become stranded as decarbonization momentum builds. Investment there is preferred. ONEOK’s move here is showing us why “consolidation” is the name of the game in oil & gas today. #energy #oilandgas #ksg 𝘗.𝘚.

Passionate about serving clients along their journey of TA improvement, our CruzAlta team offers unparalleled professional and operational experience in the oil and gas and petrochemical industries. In this post, we want to spotlight one of our Operations Consultants, Carl Pitts, with a few Q&As to help you get to know our team and hear firsthand how we aim to serve our clients. What do you do? I serve our clients on their TA improvement journey focused on the TA Operations/Production organization. This includes leading interactive operations deep dive workshops, challenging and improving mechanical and operations planning/scheduling practices, enhancing capital project work processes and practices, and collaboratively delivering CruzAlta’s CAPE readiness methodology with TA Management consultants. I also work regularly with clients’ TA leadership team to help them with the preparation for a successful event. What do you enjoy most about your role? I really enjoy mentoring TA people and teams. More specifically, I enjoy helping identify improvement opportunities and helping clients implement innovative solutions on their journey to successful TA events; this is a means to “give back” to the industry that I grew up in and pass on my experience as a means for continuously improving in all aspects of the TA process (i.e. equipment strategies, work selection, planning, estimating, scheduling and all aspects of execution, operations practices, etc.). What are key focus areas in your work? Key elements in my work include all aspects of TA readiness and specifically TA operations preparations. I also focus on shutdown and clearing/decon activities, managing the mechanical window, and preparing for and starting up the operating unit(s). We spend a significant amount of time focusing on the shutdown and startup phases of the event, and how they interface with mechanical handover. Gaining efficiencies in those areas will shorten the duration of the “bookend” windows to minimize waste and maximize production. What are your end goals with clients? As a CruzAlta Artisan, I partner with our clients to increase the probability for a predictable TA event by helping them navigate through the preparation and execution phases to identify and capitalize on continuous improvement opportunities. It is extremely rewarding to be part of each TA team and see our partners achieve their goals. To learn more about how our team serves clients globally, visit: https://hubs.la/Q02tYdzx0

One month in to a job search to get back into IT and has been a rough one so far. No interviews as of yet, but still a lot of valuable things I have learned along the way that I felt like just sharing to anyone else that may be in the same position. 1. You cannot let the “no’s” interfere with the constant learning you need to have for the field. This space is a constantly changing one, and what is popular and important this month could be old news by next. Keep going, keep learning, keep that passion alive and you will reap the benefits. 2. Restructure your resumes to tailor different types of fields you are pursuing. This doesn’t mean redoing your resume for every single position (not saying you shouldn’t), but what it does mean is what makes you standout as a Network Engineer won’t help for SOC Analyst position. The first step in any interview is getting past the initial resume screening, and after that it’s all up to you. 3. Talk about your experience! The amount of tips and insider tools to get a leg up on the competition I have received through things like Reddit, Discord and even some forums has been incredibly eye opening. I’ve found that hearing these experiences, only refueled my passion for Cybersecurity and really IT as a whole. With all that being said, chose your own path. YOU are the one doing the work, and only YOU will bring yourself to the end of that path. Sorry for the long read, but just wanted to share! #opentowork #cybersecurity #IT

Tornado season is currently underway. Please take a moment to get ready for any unexpected circumstances. It’s common to think that such incidents won’t impact you until it’s too late. Understanding Watch and Warning: A tornado WATCH indicates that tornadoes are possible in or near your area. Be prepared to take action promptly. A tornado WARNING means immediate action is required as a tornado is close by, posing a threat. Move to a safe location without delay. Preparation Steps: Identify a safe room designed to withstand strong winds. Alternatively, opt for a windowless room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building Stay updated with local weather forecasts and news. Have backup power sources for your cell phone and a battery-operated radio for power outages. Stock up on food, water, and medication as stores may be inaccessible during emergencies. Organize supplies into a portable Go-Kit (at least a 3-day supply) and a Stay-at-Home-Kit (with a minimum of 2 weeks' worth).

🚨 Important Update: GPA Midstream & Industry Partners Respond to PHMSA's Proposed Regulations 🚨   GPA Midstream was joined by 10 leading organizations in the gas gathering industry to formally address significant concerns to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Our joint comments with groups like the American Petroleum Institute and others from key states highlight critical issues with the proposed leak detection rules, which do not comply with statutory requirements.   The discussions held during recent GPAC meetings have brought to light the pressing need for major revisions to the proposed regulations to ensure they are reasonable and backed by accurate risk assessments that meet criteria established by the U.S. Congress.   For a deeper look at our concerns and the potential impact on the industry, visit our website. Let’s ensure that regulatory changes are made with careful consideration of both safety and feasibility.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/ghgNeqtj   #GPAMidstream #PHMSA #GasGathering #PipelineSafety #RegulatoryUpdate #IndustryLeadership
