Around 15 years ago we were the laughing stock of the MLB, I never imagined anything close to a run like this Despite it ending, I can proudly say I never took it for granted. Thank you for what was probably the best run any MLB team will ever have in our lifetime @Astros

Everyone knows the Manhattan Project. But NO ONE remembers the OTHER secret project that helped win WWII. It wasn’t built in a lab. It was built with welders, bulldozers, and 1,400 miles of steel. It moved oil NOT uranium. And in just 350 days—under the threat of Nazi…

Today the most consequential jurist in Texas history retires. The iconic Chief Justice @NathanLHecht built a sterling, 43-year judicial legacy. NLH = the GOAT, the best of us, a Mount Rushmore figure in the life & law of Texas. The Lone Star State owes him an unpayable debt. 🐐⚖️

The energy industry lost a legend this week, and I lost a great friend. I want everyone in energy to hear this message about Scott Gale and how he tackled life. The work that we do to power the world is extremely important and you should be proud that you play a part in that.…

I just found out that we have an unreleased video on Autry Stephens and how he built his $26 billion empire. In light of his passing, today seems like a good time for you to hear the story of one of the greatest oilmen of all time.

Great oilfield content from my guys @DWildcatters. Crushed it, @Tejanobrown.

These oilfield hands can make $200k+ per year. Andy walks us through his job and shows us how this $1 million Wireline truck is used to log and frac oil wells.
