Mathias has a knack for shaking up an industry that doesn’t exactly love change, and he’s doing it from the inside. As CEO of Whitson, he’s bringing petroleum engineering software into the cloud era, building tools that work in real time instead of waiting on clunky desktop updates. We talked about what it takes to get a traditional industry to embrace modern platforms, why seamless data integration is the real game-changer, and how Whitson Plus is helping make it happen. Somewhere along the way, we compared life in Norway to Houston, swapped taco recommendations, and even found a few similarities between fjords and tech. It’s a mix of innovation, culture, and just enough humor to remind you that oil and gas tech can actually be fun.

AI and GIS might not sound like the flashiest combo, until you hear what Bunting Labs is cooking up. Michael Egan breaks it down with John and Bobby: how they’re turning old-school geologic maps into clean, digital datasets, baking large language models into QGIS, and giving non-technical folks the power to ask spatial questions like pros. From landmen to transportation planners, this episode explores how tools like Mundi are cutting down analysis time and opening up the GIS world to way more people. It’s all about smarter maps, faster workflows, and making geospatial data way less intimidating.

AI isn’t just showing up in oil and gas, it’s kicking the door down. We hung out with Bella Kelada-Khalil from Midnight Marketing, who’s diving headfirst into petroleum engineering and AI after starting in sales and events. She’s asking the smart, unfiltered questions you wish you could, and we’re here for it. We swap stories on how AI is automating the boring stuff, making data wrangling less painful, and helping teams actually trust what they’re looking at. From LangChain setups to sketchy data rooms, it’s all on the table. This one’s for anyone wondering how tech and tradition can play nice in the field.
