Blake Mosley

from Conventionally Uncouth · host collide.

Mud, wildcat wells, and a whole lot of oilfield chaos, Blake Mosley brings it all to life with the perfect mix of science and field stories. Reed gets him talking through everything from lime-based mud to modern hydraulic tricks, breaking down how drilling fluids actually keep wells under control and why the industry is never done evolving. Blake’s been in the thick of it for years, so every explanation comes with a story, a laugh, or a “you won’t believe what happened on this job” moment. It’s the kind of conversation that hits whether you’ve spent decades on rigs or you’re just curious about what really goes into punching a hole in the ground.

Renewable Energy Anum Khan and Laura Vargas As our civilization continues to progress, we continue to face challenges such as the destruction of our natural resources and global warming. As time passes, we require more energy, but fewer people have access to that energy. According to the United Nations, 1.2 billion people did not have access to electricity in 2010 but today it has gotten worse and is estimated to be around 733 billion people. This is the main reason why the United Nations has a clean energy goal; to provide access to all those who do not have it, especially now that energy is more important than ever (1). With all the doom and gloom looming around energy disparity, we decided to explore a couple of Sustainable Technologies that seem to offer promising results to our problems; Biomass and Wind Energy.
