MRP 65: Behind the Scenes on a Drilling Rig and Why Quality Matters

I'm really excited about this week's episode because we have two really interesting guests lined up for you.   Kyle Chambers and Joey Falbo with Texas Quality Assurance LLC join Justin and I to teach us about quality management and why everyone needs to know what it is.  In fact, Kyle and his wife Darci host a podcast called the #QualityMatters Podcast where they talk all about quality management and ways to make your life easier at work and at home.  This was a really interesting conversation as we dive deep into how quality management is really important when drilling a well.  Joey tells a few stories from his experience working in the field around things like inspecting drilling equipment and why this is so critical in making sure a wells is drilled safely and on-time. This is important to us as mineral owners because if the operator has an equipment failure that causes them to have to plug the well and it may never get repaired and completed.  If the well never produces oil and gas, we don't get paid royalties. Resources: I had the pleasure of being a guest on the #QualityMatters Podcast in Episode 70 where we talk about the importance of Continuous Improvement during the downturn in the oil & gas industry and some of my experience with continuous improvement at Shell.  Click the link above to give it a listen or listen on your favorite podcast player.
