3 Podcasters Walk in a Bar Episode 38
Stuart Turley [00:00:14] Hello, everybody. Do you ever have that crazy uncle at a Christmas party when he started saying these three guys walk into a bar? Well, I happen to know those other two guys that are walking the bar. My name’s Stu Turley, president CEO, the Sandstone Group. And we are the three podcasters today. We’re going to cover some pretty big topics. We got Biden, we got President Z. We got broken down things. And we’ve also even got some other stuff going on in California. I got me an expert with a pump jack running in the background. He’s an EMP operator. He’s a big dog over there, Pecos operating. But more importantly, his day job is the podcast host for the Crude Truth. How are you RT?
Rey Treviño [00:01:03] I’m doing well. I’m doing well. The Crude truth is doing great. And Pecos country operating. That actually pays my paycheck for that. Their job is doing really, really well also. And Stu, thank you so much for always with that great intro. You know, it’s it’s always so much fun. I do. You know, we’ve got three guys walking to a bar. One of them have to these Stu Turley One of them have to be Rey Treviño. And the last but not least, the most revered is the one, the only. David Blackmon.
Stuart Turley [00:01:39] And could you give us the purple wave? Because you’re on what? RT He’s on sub. He’s on Substack, which is an animal twice. He’s so well, he’s got to paint, you know, get everybody twice. He’s on The Daily Caller, he’s on a telegraph, He’s in Forbes. He’s also got the energy question and he’s also got the energy transition. Unbelievable. And you got a new podcast geek, I mean, host on their website. He’s a nerd.
David Blackmon [00:02:13] Yeah, he’s fantastic. Sam Frisby. He’s he’s great. He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve come across and based in Pakistan. And he gives us some great perspective on what’s happening in Asia, which we don’t talk about him, frankly, and we don’t talk enough about what’s going on in Africa and other parts of the global South as well. South America, too, because all of that is is big stuff that that has an impact globally. And unfortunately, our our news establishment here in the United States doesn’t cover it much.
Stuart Turley [00:02:49] And normally you guys are Monday on that, right?
David Blackmon [00:02:53] Yes. Monday morning. First thing. First thing, by the way, I think we’re going to have to start calling RT Treviño the most interesting man in energy. He is in a different location. Every time we record this podcast. Stu and I will. Stu’s in a different location a lot of the time, too. I’m just always sitting up here in my studio, you know, because I’m lazy. But you guys move around a lot.
Rey Treviño [00:03:19] No, Come on now. You know, I think the only reason why we’re meeting and where we are right now is because Stu’s moving around so much. We can’t get back into the bar. God knows my hair could go by. And so. But hopefully after the holiday season, we’ll get back together. And now I’m just out on another location right now trying to trying to at least help feel the world for all the energy, more importantly, all the power we need for the electrical grid, if you know what I mean. But, you know, you mentioned real quick, you’re bringing on the new guy on the energy transition and I think that’s awesome. Bring it on, Sayeed And you mentioned South America. You know, I find it very interesting that all of a sudden that Exxon is, you know, buying up the stuff down there with Chevron and that guy on a field and all of a sudden a dictator country, i.e., Venezuela, they’re starting to say, hey, wait a minute, those are our fields. And that’s not being brought up anywhere right now, is it?
David Blackmon [00:04:24] Well, yeah, you know, Venezuela has had that claim. I think they first started making that claim in the mid-nineties. They have lost several times in several different courts and the World Court rejected their claim. Well, was it earlier this year or late last year? And but then they’ve renewed it again using different arguments. I don’t think there’s any legitimacy to it, but it sure is a nuisance for the guy and his government and for the consortium down there that’s developing that massive oil field. But by the way, Guyana has 800,000 people. That’s their population. It’s an area the size of a portion of south Texas. It is it is expected. It’s already producing 427,000 barrels of oil a day out of the Stabroek block is what the development’s called. By 2027, they’re going to be producing a million barrels a day. Guyana’s economy is going to be is already the fastest growing economy on earth, and it’s going to stay that way for the next ten years or more as ExxonMobil and and now Chevron will become a partner. As a result of the Hess acquisition. And then Sihanouk, the Chinese, one of the Chinese national oil companies, this is the third partner. And that country, that little country is going to become fabulously wealthy because of that oil development.
Rey Treviño [00:05:57] Well, it sounds like to me I need to get some franchises and water burger out there and some Starbucks start real quick, if you know what I mean. And maybe some Red Bull. Maybe some Red Bull for all those oil and gas guys. I need to be out there.
Stuart Turley [00:06:11] I think I’m going to fund some illegals and give them some pay cards and then have a army down there because I’m going to need a place to live. Never mind. Sorry, that’s already been done in the U.S. It’s not an original idea.
David Blackmon [00:06:28] Yeah, No,.
Stuart Turley [00:06:29] RT You had another story out in California, didn’t you?
Rey Treviño [00:06:33] You know me?
Stuart Turley [00:06:34] Yeah.
Rey Treviño [00:06:35] Oh, I don’t know if it’s a story, but I was, you know, here today when we’re recording. I just wanted to do some real bored talk into this Twitter thing or X, you know, I’m trying to get more on it, so be sure to check out my Twitter feed @ truth underscore crude and I’ll let the guys also tell theirs here in a second. But you know, every now and then you go down those Twitter holes and so can you save that? Is that a thing? I don’t know.
David Blackmon [00:07:02] Apparently, yeah.
Rey Treviño [00:07:02] But, but they’re showing videos right now of the Chinese government coming in to San Francisco. And you would think that we’re in China. There’s not one American flag anywhere. There are the streets are covered with Chinese flags, with Chinese signs. And it’s like, you know, this is getting scary. I believe in national pride. Okay. You know, you go to certain concerts, you got people that have their country’s flag. I did it. You’re representing. But when you move to a new country, that is your new country, you know, you’re here for the passion, for all the opportunities. And it just blew my way. You blew me away. And you would think we were in China with the way that this governor and president impersonator Newsom is rolling out the red carpet for this guy. It’s scary. Scary. And if I was better at my Dana Carvey George Bush impersonation from the early 90s, I’d be out. Scary, very scary.So
Stuart Turley [00:08:06] All I got is nuclear. When George W Bush or whoever was saying that was absolutely wonderful. Nuclear.
Rey Treviño [00:08:13] Yes, nuclear.
David Blackmon [00:08:14] Well, he got it. He got it from Jimmy Carter, who was a nuclear engineer supposedly who pronounced the word the wrong way. So, you know, it’s tradition.
Rey Treviño [00:08:23] He was well, you know, don’t say that. And I on Twitter or on YouTube and on my crude truth Web website, the CrudeTruth.com, I just released my interview with Grace Stanke, who is Miss America 2023. But more importantly, she’s a nuclear engineer at the University of Wisconsin, graduating here in the next 3 or 4 months. And somebody on YouTube had to say that we were saying nuclear riots, like, you know what maybe is my Texas accent? Maybe is her Wisconsin accent. You knew what we meant. Okay.
David Blackmon [00:08:59] There you go. There you go
Stuart Turley [00:09:01] He’s classic. That was a fabulous interview dude.
Rey Treviño [00:09:04] Yo, she is a wealth of knowledge. And I mean, she has a passion for nuclear engineering. She’s going to go into the field after graduating. And and what a great representative for the United States to really be pro-nuclear. You know, one thing we’ve talked about in the past are these modular nuclear deals. Right? David and I butchered it right there. But I think these modular nuclear tubes are going to really be the.
David Blackmon [00:09:35] Reactors exactly.
Stuart Turley [00:09:37] SMRs RT, SMRs, SMRs
Rey Treviño [00:09:43] Yes. All blown away to invest in them. I will do that along with oil, I’ll tell you that much. I believe it all.
Stuart Turley [00:09:50] Got to have the baseload.
Rey Treviño [00:09:52] Yeah,
David Blackmon [00:09:54] Yeah. they’ll be the future if the government allows them to be the future. Yes.
Stuart Turley [00:09:58] Well David Daily Caller article flows right on into that. Now wait a minute. One of the things that I just got tickled at was did you guys see on X or Twitter or whatever Elon’s calling it today, the thing where Governor Newsom was standing there and somebody said, did you just clean up the cities for President Z? And he goes, Yeah, but what about it? They could have cleaned the city up all of this time. All it takes is President Z rolling in and they’re going to do it. This was like Biden. Remember when we were laughing about Biden when they cleaned up the down there near the border?
David Blackmon [00:10:41] Oh, in El Paso? Yeah.
Stuart Turley [00:10:42] Yeah. He didn’t even have to change his depends because he was walking in going this is clean. There’s no riot in Marcus was going deported to cure. I don’t know.
David Blackmon [00:10:55] You know what what confuses me about that situation in San Francisco is our news media has no curiosity about where all those homeless folks went and all of the stuff that has been occupying the streets in that city for the last several years. Where did they all go?
Rey Treviño [00:11:13] Where did they go To Oakland? Why are they send them to Oakland? And I mean that. I’m not trying to make a joke. I heard they busing to Oakland. That is what I heard. I’m not going to make it. Okay.
Stuart Turley [00:11:26] Hey, these three moves.
David Blackmon [00:11:28] Either stay away into.
Stuart Turley [00:11:29] A bar, guys.
Rey Treviño [00:11:31] No, I was joking. David, I seriously heard that before. I think from Fox News and the way they’ve been shifting the bus into Oakland.
Stuart Turley [00:11:43] I have I have those in favor of Boston and New York. And seeing the mayor, does that lose his mind all these.
David Blackmon [00:11:52] Oh, well, it’s.
Rey Treviño [00:11:55] Who else can say they do to America and then got to go on a cross-country trip from Oakland to New York City. I can’t imagine a cross-country trip yet.
Stuart Turley [00:12:04] How about the Venezuelans going through one snowstorm and saying the accommodations aren’t that good in Detroit and they want to go back to Venezuela?
David Blackmon [00:12:15] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Isn’t that a great story? Yeah. There. It’s Chicago, not Detroit. It was Chicago. Things are so awful in Chicago that the illegal immigrants from Venezuela are literally trying to find ways to get back to Venezuela. That’s how bad life is in Chicago right now.
Stuart Turley [00:12:36] Wow.
David Blackmon [00:12:37] Really stunning story. And that was that story was what was it in The New York Times or one of the major newspapers? It was wild.
Rey Treviño [00:12:46] Yeah. Well, they’re not for paying for all these people, You know, whoever it is that is convincing everybody to come to America is telling them there’s jobs, there is food there. And it’s like none of that is here for anybody, you know? You have to work for a job. You have to show you know, you have to be a product of society. You just don’t walk across the border and get handed a job anymore. It’s not you know, we’re joking. It’s not like it was at the turn of the century for World War One where people were coming in on one ship, getting enlist in an American army and going out on the other ship. Things like that aren’t happening anymore. And it is bad in Venezuela. That’s a terrible dictator there. But, you know, but if you’re going to do it or claim asylum, hang out in Mexico and then get your turn. But yeah, it’s cold in Chicago. I mean, I don’t want to be in Chicago, you know, if I don’t have to be up in North Dakota in the wintertime and that is frickin cold. So go figure.
David Blackmon [00:13:47] Coldest day of my life. I’ve been to the North Slope of Alaska, but the coldest day in my life was in Bismarck, North Dakota, 1st January, about 20 years ago. We had a meeting with the governor and the parking lot and the governor’s offices in the Capitol building. The parking lot is at the bottom of the hill where the Capitol building sits, and it was seven degrees below zero and the wind was blowing at about 50 miles an hour. We had to walk up that hill to get to that meeting with the governor. And I literally thought I was going to die. I have I don’t ever want to go back to Bismarck, North Dakota, in the winter.
Stuart Turley [00:14:22] Well, what temp was it with windchill?
David Blackmon [00:14:25] Seven below. The temperature was seven below. Windchill must have been. I guess it had to be like -40.
Stuart Turley [00:14:33] Oh, absolutely. I’ve been on the ice floes up up near the up in there during the winter in Alaska and it was -20. So I’m sure you beat that dude. And I’ll tell you what, my nose was the only thing sticking out of my parka.
Rey Treviño [00:14:51] It is cold. Yeah. I’ve been to North Dakota in February. Every time I’ve been in North Dakota as of February. I have a great partner up there and a man in, but he always comes to Texas in August. So it’s it’s a trade off. It’s hilarious, you know.
David Blackmon [00:15:12] You’ll need to Switch, North Dakota is a cool place. I mean, I actually been up there several times and really enjoyed it, but not not in early February. No.
Rey Treviño [00:15:20] It’s it’s gorgeous. Yeah. I’ve been in July once. It’s a gorgeous place and so it’s good. And it’s all the rest of America. It’s we’re just really blessed to be in such a great place. And, you know, we’re speaking of how cold it is. I had an article on my substack from Utility Drive dot com talking about how here in the great state of Texas, our administration and our legislation more importantly, voted to help up the power in our grid using natural gas we don’t have. Any more cold spells or hopefully right, David, that we don’t have these shut downs like we had about two years ago.
David Blackmon [00:15:59] Yeah. If we get the plants built, I mean, you know, they passed the incentive but still got to get generating companies to agree to build the plants. And that’s been a real problem for a decade now in Texas is due to a lot of different factors. The generator companies don’t want to build power plants far by natural gas or anything else. They just want to build when in solar, because that’s what the incentives have been there for. And so, you know, what this program is, is a program to compete with those incentives. And unfortunately, unfortunately, because of federal policy and some state policies, all forms of energy on the grid now are subsidized by some government entity or another. So, you know, I have people complaining to me about the story I wrote on that, you know, that I would endorse that program. But you you know, normally in a normal situation, if there really was a free market for power generation in Texas, like the government likes to claim there is, then I wouldn’t have been in favor of that program, and neither would it. By the way, the lieutenant governor wouldn’t have been in favor of it either. But the fact of the matter is, every form of energy on the grid is subsidized and controlled by the government in one form or another. And so if you want to get natural gas built, you’ve got to compete with that in that space. And that’s why Governor Patrick or Lieutenant Governor Patrick endorsed that bill and pushed it through the process.
Rey Treviño [00:17:32] Isn’t that a shame that we have to compete with the federal government to make sure that we have reliable, sustainable, inexpensive energy? I mean, that’s that’s a shame.
David Blackmon [00:17:44] That’s where we are today, folks.
Rey Treviño [00:17:47] That’s a Shame.
Stuart Turley [00:17:47] Hey, David, your article in The Daily Caller today is a who. Absolutely. Pretty cool. Could you go over that for us with.
David Blackmon [00:17:56] Yeah. Well,.
Stuart Turley [00:17:59] What does China know? The Biden ad man doesn’t I’d say one where they are to win their battles are going to move so but you left those two out. Tell us what you were thinking when you wrote this.
David Blackmon [00:18:13] Yeah, that program, that story covered a lot of ground in it. I actually worked the Texas bill into that. It starts with a discussion about the fact that China is so interested in building more coal plants that they’re implementing a yet another new program to subsidize the building of even more coal fired power plants than they already have on the books. On the books right now under development, China has more proposed and and. Coal fired power plant projects underway right now. Then the rest of the world combined. Okay. But they want so much more of it that now they’re going to implement a program in January that’s going to offer even more subsidies to build more coal plants. At the same time, the Biden administration is destabilizing our grid in the United States by, you know, forcing these coal plants the few that we have left into decommissioning because they can’t afford to operate them anymore. And there’s no way for them to meet the new emissions requirements without doubling the cost of energy for everybody. So you’ve got that going on. And then I just thought it was kind of ironic that in the midst of all that, voters in Texas approved Proposition seven to to try to get these natural gas power plants built here in Texas, which runs completely contrary to what’s happening in the Biden administration. So you’ve got all these competing priorities in different jurisdictions and, you know, the places that are going to have a stable grid are the places that are going to have enough electricity fired by coal, natural gas or nuclear to cover their needs because wind and solar are only good when the weather’s fine and the sun is shining and you’re not going to make up for that with a bunch of batteries that have a three hour life cycle or charge cycle. So, you know, when you have a major winter storm that goes on for a week, a battery with a life of three hours isn’t going to do you any good. You have to have baseload generation.
Stuart Turley [00:20:18] It’s kind of funny that Diablo Canyon up in in southern in California, they provide I’ve heard between 10 and 14% of the state’s power got another 20. Another 20 year extension 20 years. Try to do that to a wind farm. They don’t last 15 minutes. They’ve got a bounty out on eagles to kill.
David Blackmon [00:20:47] Oh, the wind farms. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I mean, they. They kill a lot of eagles every year. A lot of endangered birds. You know, we’re building all these wind farms in South Texas right in the middle of migratory car corridor for over a thousand species of birds.
Stuart Turley [00:21:02] Okay.
David Blackmon [00:21:03] And they’re just decimating the migratory bird populations along the Texas Gulf Coast. And no one’s willing to do anything to stop it.
Stuart Turley [00:21:11] You know RT, the thing of second order magnitude, you and I have talked about a lot. One of them is mosquitoes. And I just flat didn’t understand. But the bats that are being killed by these silly things, people are getting over the mosquitoes.
Rey Treviño [00:21:27] Wow. But reasonable.
David Blackmon [00:21:33] Anybody there?
Stuart Turley [00:21:35] Yeah, well.
Rey Treviño [00:21:35] There will be.
David Blackmon [00:21:37] That’s right. Yeah. I mean, bats fly. Do anything that flies, you know, up to about 3 to 500ft high because that’s how tall the towers are, is going to get hit by those blades.
Stuart Turley [00:21:47] I need to just get my ex-wife on her broom up in a windmill farm.
Rey Treviño [00:21:54] Yeah. Oh, that’s just. Rude. That’s just rude
Stuart Turley [00:22:03] That was funny. I can’t believe I thought of that.
David Blackmon [00:22:09] I don’t know your wife, but I’m sure your ex-wife. Excuse me, but I’m sure she’s a nice person.
Stuart Turley [00:22:14] Oh, she was. I was the only divorced virgin in the planet. Hey, I got one in California, and it was the you. I’m a funny son of a gun. It was the Wall Street Journal article, and she. This poor girl went around 140 different charging stations and I guess got tickled watching the video. And a video was who she had three major problems. And I didn’t know this was that bad of a deal. I knew it was bad deal. But 40% of the 120 didn’t work. Credit cards didn’t work and they you had to put in cash, but there was no cash machine part of it. The credit cards wouldn’t do it and then the car wouldn’t handshake. I didn’t realize that. I’ve always trained, tried to train the kids in the church and in Boy Scouts firm handshake, look them in the eye and you get the job. Boy, you can’t do that with an EB that the handshake wasn’t working. So then they had to get a repair deck out there to put a new motherboard in the handshake. And then it was also the grid portion of it. And they get a guy out there to flip the breaker and it was ready again. So, holy smokes, how does anybody drive one of them rascals? And the only the bottom line was get a Tesla because the others have a lot of higher failure rate with a handshake.
David Blackmon [00:23:51] Yeah. Tesla’s, of course, in Tesla has its own proprietary chargers and charging stations all over the country now. Tesla’s so far ahead of the traditional automakers like Ford and GM in the electric vehicle space. I’m not sure that that companies like Ford and GM really have much hope of ever catching up. Tesla is so far out in front of them.
Stuart Turley [00:24:14] Oh, yeah. They’re they’re horrific. Well, RT what do you see coming around the corner with. Oil prices Because we saw that we’ve had a bit of a spike and OPEC came out and said they’re not going to increase production. And they’ve even said that they’re even not going to increase production through, uh, Q1, possibly Q2. But I did see another article that even though the quotas did not get increased there, they are producing more. So what are your thoughts on oil coming around the corner? I’m confused, which is easy.
Rey Treviño [00:24:55] I’m right there with these two because I think the IAEA, the International Energy Agency, just came out that they’re they’re already quoting that we’re going to need a higher demand for oil for 2024 and 2025. And yet oil, you know, here as we record, is, you know, still below $80 a barrel. You know, I figure, well, you know, we’ll get up a little bit higher here once actually, we get to the holiday season as it approaches. But, you know, it’s all guesses are off. I was talking to I had a great interview this week that I did with Brian Stubbs of Air Compressor Solutions. And, you know, I’ve been on record for half the year saying we’d average $100 oil this year. Well, we haven’t even touched it yet this year. So obviously it’s been a you know, and I’m on record. I mean, I record a show called The Crude Truth. Check it out. And speaking of that cheesy pun, guys, I just want to say this off topic. Shout out to my boy, J.P. Warren. With all these goofy videos he started to post on LinkedIn and on Twitter, he is just I tell you what, he is doing it right, networking, taking, networking to a level beyond the next level. But anyway, I just I love his his promotions and promoting the exact crew and connection crew and JP Morgan. So sidebar. Okay. But Stu, I really don’t know any more. I mean, we’re not even at 80. The oil agencies are telling us we’re going to need more oil, and the major suppliers of oil are telling us they’re going to continue to cut back on that oil. So go figure. I mean, you know, that’s a question that I would definitely ask David Blackmon if he’s around.
David Blackmon [00:26:42] Well, I don’t know where oil prices are going. I think they’re probably going to. You know, if I had to guess, I would guess they’re going to stick around about where they are through the end of the year. And then we’ll see what happens with drilling next year and demand. You get to this later in the year and things tend to calm down as far as volatility in the oil price. So I guess we’ll probably end up around $80 at the end of the year and going into next year, which, by the way, is a pretty healthy price. I can’t make anybody think they’re okay. Sorry. No.
Rey Treviño [00:27:18] It’s a very big price. I was I was speaking to some investors the other day. And, you know, I mean, we budget right now everything at $65 oil and right now 80 is looking real good. So we can’t complain.
Stuart Turley [00:27:31] Yeah, my investment is doing fine. Got a lot of.
David Blackmon [00:27:38] That’s good.
Stuart Turley [00:27:39] Yep, Oh, yeah. You know, in the altar, alternative investments is huge because my dad is a stock day trader, and he’s. Sometimes I go down in the Harry Carey knife is all set out on the table, and I’m a little worried. But today it’s fine because he’s he’s able to do some serious day trading. I just shoot me. I couldn’t do it. So. All right. Coming around the corner, what do we got coming up this week there, David? What do you think?
David Blackmon [00:28:11] Well, I’ve got Todd Royal, who is the coauthor of the book about energy literacy with Ronald Stein. I’ll be posting that interview later today. It’ll go live on the energy question. Paul Akin, the editor in chief of The Petroleum Economist, will be up next. That one should go live over the weekend. And then I just completed an interview with Emily Head, a geologist at Invariance, talking about I think everyone’s going to have a real interest and we’re talking about how the Barnett Shale, the Barnett Shale formation, could be the next big thing in the Permian Basin down in West Texas. So that’s a really interesting story. I’m sure most people don’t even realize the Barnett extends down that far, and it’s got a real interesting twist to that story. So I think everyone will enjoy that. Emily’s fantastic. She’s she should really be doing more public speaking than she does.
Stuart Turley [00:29:13] Oh, yeah.
Rey Treviño [00:29:14] I’m looking forward to that one David. Looking forward to that one.
Stuart Turley [00:29:17] RT, how about you? What’s coming around the corner?

That just released Who’s Miss America? I got Jim Holms, who’s the CEO of LFS Chemistry. Great entrepreneur. I got some great tips in giving us the crude truth, entrepreneurship, but also as we needed to lead into the end of the year and into the beginning of the year, I got some great people coming on that are just some real great positivity people, people that are talking about, hey, ways of, you know, just, you know, giving us the crude truth of, hey, everything’s going to be okay and and how there’s people out there that can help you get past where you’re at that aren’t, you know, anyway, just people that can help you get past your problems and, you know, and that life is going to be okay and I mean that.

So, so check those out and get ready for those Very excited and of course will be at NAPE February 7th through the ninth. We are lining up some great interviews with some great LinkedIn influencers, I’ll call them, but also some amazing CEOs and people in the energy sector that will not be speaking because NAPE speaking engagement group is going to be amazing. So if you haven’t gotten the NAPE where you can listen to all the speakers, I recommend you do that now. But we’ll also have some great ones at our booth.

So this will be reaching, you know, 100,000 people over a two month period.

He’s got a new gig, going to be introducing an interview and him Monday I got Grace coming out and got like four others that are coming out as well too. So the CEOs and industry leaders are lined up around here. We got them all lined up, kind of like a dairy barn for milking. You know, at 4 a.m., you hear Moomoo, Moomoo mange.

Stuart Turley [00:33:18] Move, move, move. At 4 a.m.. Is your herd of cattle coming in to the dairy bar and going, Hey, I need to be milked. So, you know, and. And when I shovel it, it usually is.
