We're talking about one of the best trades ever made: swapping out Kirk to bring on the legendary Dave Purcell! Dave's done it all—from leading development at Apache to diving into some seriously big ventures. We'll get into his wild ride through the oilfield, hitting everything from hydraulic fracking to global capital strategies, and he’s got insider takes on OPEC moves, the latest in U.S. drilling, and where American Shale might be headed. If you want the scoop on drilling rigs, roughneck life, and how automation is changing the game with giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil, this one's for you!
