Interview with Matthew R. Simmons

The Way Ahead Interview - A conversation with energy investment banker Matthew R. Simmons.
What was your first job, and what were your impressions of the oil and gas industry when you started working?
I accidentally stumbled upon my first job. When I was in my second year at Harvard Business School, I reluctantly signed up for a course called Manufacturing Policy. I say reluctantly because of all of the courses I took in my first year, Manufacturing Operations was singularly the most boring. But during a conversation with a finance professor, he recommended this as the best finance course of the second year. A few days later, the school paper listed all the secondyear courses, and Manufacturing Policy was rated as the course with the hardest workload in all second-year courses, so it was with great reluctance that I signed up.
Upon completion of the course, before our grades were issued, I was asked to meet with the professor—I was positive I had flunked the course. I was astonished when the professor asked if I would stay on and work at the school as a research associate to rework the case studies in this particular course. This detour is what stopped me from returning to Utah and becoming a commercial banker, which had been my chosen career path when I enrolled. As it turned out, several of the case studies I worked on during this two-year program were on oil companies. The first was on Phillips Petroleum betting its future on building the world's largest ethylene plant. I then did a case on a new refinery being built in Come-by-Chance, Newfoundland, and another on a merger between three very tiny exploration, production, and refinery companies based in Wyoming called Tesero Petroleum. Frankly, none of this work heavily influenced me in getting interested in oil and gas. I was actually nearing the end of my second year as a case writer when I was on my way to Los Angeles to write a case on American Cement and I stopped in Palm Springs for the weekend. My father, a commercial banker in Utah, was in Palm Springs attending a mergers and acquisitions seminar. When I arrived to spend the weekend with my parents, Dad told me about a really interesting young guy in our class who was apparently a deep-sea diver. When I heard "deepsea diver," I assumed he was probably a treasure diver and I was really keen to meet him. So, the next day during the seminar coffee break, I introduced myself to Laddie Handleman. Unknown to me at the time, this chance introduction became my introduction to the oilfield service industry. It turns out that Laddie had founded a company called Californian Divers ("Cal Dive"). The company had grown so fast that they were running out of money and were talking about being acquired by Santa Fe. I asked him why he was considering selling and if he had instead thought about raising some venture capital. I told him that I could probably find a few investors who could put enough capital into his company to give it 2 or 3 more years of growth, and then he could sell the business.
At the Crossroads: Technical vs. Managerial Careers and the Common Ground for the Road Ahead

Soft Skills
Finding common ground in technical and managerial careers.
Daily we find ourselves at a crossroads because we have to make decisions.
Although it is true that some of these decisions can affect or influence our future career paths, the outcomes are not irrevocable. In other words, a single "good" career pick made today does not necessarily predetermine a successful career in the future.
Technical and managerial career paths are not mutually exclusive. On the extreme ends of the job spectrum in the oil and gas industry there are unique talents like pure research or general manager. However, for the 80 or 90% of technical management roles in between, there is significant common ground with respect to the journey, accomplishments, recognition, and relative success.
All kinds of research are available that promote particular career paths. Numerous publications offer in-depth academic studies of industry employment trends, statistical compensation analyses, updates on the state of engineering and science graduates around the globe, the significance of personality profiling, the potential relevance of birth order, the differences in generations (baby boomers vs. millennials), the value of diversity and inclusion, the effectiveness of mentoring programs, and even attempts to plot career roadmaps Feng Shui-style. These types of studies do offer insight and encouragement as well as being catalysts for self-introspection, awareness, and observation. They often provide a framework or structure that so many of us need or believe we need to organize, plan, and control our lives. They do their best to: explain "why" people act the way they do, delineate "who" might have natural abilities or aptitudes, and ultimately attempt to predict future behaviors. However, I do not believe that any one of them present a magic bullet, right answer, or single path to success.
Youth, Depth, and Innovation in the Oil and Gas Industry

Forum - Youth and innovation in the oil and gas industry.
According to Michael Kenison, technical solutions must have the proper blend of creativity and practicality and ideas should meet a legitimate need. Kenison is a project manager at Schlumberger and has six patents to his credit with six more in the pipeline. He received his first patent at the age of 29. He is just one of the many young achievers in the oil and gas industry. Physics, chemistry, and mathematics are overflowing with people who have exemplified the meaning of prodigy and their names are found in numerous high school and college textbooks. Wikipedia pays respect to these names. Units are named after them. Newborn elements derive their name from these people, not to mention bagel houses.
But we rarely take a look in our own backyard. Given that products and services in the oil and gas industry are highly specialized and that young people are given little responsibility in their initial career years, crossing the rift can be tricky. Instead of being inspired by these examples, sometimes young people feel constrained by the long learning curve in the industry. But with the “easy oil” era over, this is a time for innovation and young professionals can be a source of refreshing insight, unique perspectives, and new ideas.
Discover a Career in Underbalanced Drilling

Discover a Career - What the future holds for positions in underbalanced drilling.
Despite the drilling industry’s shift toward managed pressure drilling (MPD) over the past half-decade, underbalanced drilling (UBD) continues to be a desirable option for many operations today, especially when drilling into pressure-depleted formations and/or attempting to reduce skin damage for better productivity. Because of this sustained demand, largely by operators willing to pay top dollar for skilled UBD personnel, a fundamental knowledge of the technique can benefit young petroleum engineers looking to excel in their field.
UBD Overview
The philosophy of UBD is diametrically opposed to traditional/conventional drilling methods and MPD. Conventional drilling uses an equivalent mudweight (EMW) that results in a bottomhole pressure (BHP) greater than that of the pore pressure exposed to the open hole to prevent formation fluids (oil, gas, or water) from entering the wellbore. MPD uses equivalent circulating density—a combination of hydrostatic pressure, circulating friction pressure, and applied surface pressure—to create a BHP equal to or greater than formation pore pressure.
Java Hosts Young Professionals Workshop

International Activities Update - A roundup of SPE young professionals events worldwide.
In April, the SPE Kuala Lumpur and SPE Java sections held an Asia Pacific Regional Young E&P Professionals (YEPPs) Workshop. The workshop was part of the Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition. Participants included industry executives, young professionals, SPE officers, academics, and students. Speakers included 2005 SPE President Giovanni Paccaloni; Greg A. Lanham, President, Anadarko Indonesia; William Bullock, Vice President, ConocoPhillips Indonesia; and Romi Branajaya, workshop Chairperson.
The workshop began with a keynote address from Paccaloni. He highlighted the motivation behind the initiation of young professionals programs, many of which are designed to create attractive models for students and to bridge the gap between senior and young professionals. Lanham described SPE young professional activities as an amazing tool kit of resources and technology know-how.
Lanham's advice for getting ahead in the oil and gas industry included patience, passion, and perseverance. Bullock spoke of the need to accelerate the skills of young professionals. He stated that the key to professional development is to share responsibility, seek challenging job experiences, and acquire new skills. Branajaya closed the presentations by speaking about his experiences as a young engineer.
Participants then broke into groups to discuss topics. Following are highlights from each topic discussion and recommendations from the participants.
"Old School" vs. "New School" - Back to Basics!
Authors: Thomas Tony 
Published: April 2015

What's Ahead - Editor Tony Thomas summarizes this issue of The Way Ahead.
The scene: A boxing champ of yesteryear steps into the ring for one last time—coming out of retirement, defying all odds—to face off against the current world champion. Movies of this genre compare "old school" and "new school" in the most obvious way, along the lines of aging strength and experience vs. speed and cockiness. The story usually proves that underestimation and disrespect of one's opponent leads to certain defeat.
In this issue of The Way Ahead, we are not setting up this kind of a challenge match between the old thinking and work style and the new. On the contrary, we are trying to couple the best practices and experiences from the past with the innovations of the present, integrated with active mentoring and dialogue to equip us to tackle the challenges of the future.
The tenets of professionalism remain the same irrespective of the "school" to which you belong. By taking the time to learn, being humble, and being ethical, and by keeping our minds open, we can learn from anyone around us and then can share the knowledge we have gained.
The existing contrasts between the two schools of thought and work are probably more pertinent to young professionals because at some future point, today's practices will become old school. We have to guard against complacency, always keeping an eye out for new approaches and ways to solve problems so that we won't come to be viewed as outdated.
The E&P Industrial Evolution - Failing Forward
Authors: Reid David 
Published: April 2015

Pillars of the Industry - David Reid of National Oilwell Varco.
On any given day, the exploration and production (E&P) business is fraught with myriad challenges. To address these challenges properly, they generally need to be framed technically. Unfortunately, there are gray areas in life that do not lend themselves to a technical solution, so we may have disappointing results. Therefore, I propose the alternative principle of failing forward (known by its technical term as continuous improvement), a principle which defies the silos of pure success and failure. Failing forward is ensuring the experience of failing is not distorted into a picture of who we are, but forms an important part of discovery, wherein we learn not to hide from errors but instead to embrace them as opportunities to learn.
When we optimize our operations, two factors are untouchable: risk management and calculation of insurance coverage in case of failure. Our E&P careers ask us to execute risky projects while working hard to eliminate risk with contingency alternatives. It sounds contradictory, but it is the way we have trained our industry mind to work and we do it every day. The key is to manage expectations while knowing where you can have some operational leeway. For example, on a drilling operation, all our capital equipment works in series with low utilization and has many spares to cover an undefined wide spectrum of risk, while service personnel stand by, getting paid to judge the right time to intervene in the process.
In my opinion, we really don’t have a continuous improvement culture, and, as many of you know, rigs are filled with people trying to avoid failure or “manage the fire” without asking how it started. If you managed the fire with no one getting hurt and operations not impacted too adversely, then you have succeeded.

Abstract
Objective—To evaluate the effects of a constant rate infusion of remifentanil, alone or in combination with ketamine, in healthy cats anesthetized with isoflurane.
Design—Randomized, controlled, clinical trial.
Animals—23 cats undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy.
Procedures—Cats were premedicated with acepromazine and morphine; anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane. Cats were given constant rate infusions of remifentanil (20 μg/kg/h [9 μg/lb/h], IV; n = 8), remifentanil and ketamine (0.5 mg/kg [0.23 mg/lb], then 1.8 mg/kg/h [0.82 mg/lb/h], IV; 7), or crystalloid fluids (8). The anesthesiologist was blinded to treatment group, end-tidal isoflurane concentration, and vaporizer setting. Heart rate, systolic arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, end-tidal partial pressure of CO2, temperature, and end-tidal isoflurane concentration were monitored; recovery scores were assigned.
Results—There were no significant differences among treatment groups with respect to age, body weight, surgery time, anesthesia time, time to extubation, recovery score, or cardiorespiratory variables. End-tidal isoflurane concentration was significantly reduced in cats given remifentanil and ketamine (mean ± SD, 0.63 ± 0.4%), compared with concentration in cats given crystalloid fluids (1.22 ± 0.5%) but not compared with concentration in cats given remifentanil alone (1.03 ± 0.4%). Compared with cats given crystalloid fluids, mean isoflurane requirement was reduced by 48.3% in cats given remifentanil-ketamine and 15.6% in cats given remifentanil alone.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—At the dosages administered, a constant rate infusion of remifentanil-ketamine resulted in a significant decrease in the isoflurane requirement in healthy cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy. However, significant differences in cardiovascular variables were not observed among treatment groups.
Showing Support: Some Reflections on Vancouver’s Dance Economies
Authors: Dickinson Peter 
Published: April 2015

Abstract: This essay draws on a series of recent in-studio conversations and collaborations with different Vancouver dance artists (James Gnam and Natalie Lefebvre Gnam of plastic orchid factory, Ziyian Kwan of dumb instrument Dance, and Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg of Tara Cheyenne Performance) to ask how we value and make meaningful the process that leads to the performance product. Following from Shannon Jackson, I seek to make visible—to show—the various structures of support, from the operational to the affective, that underpin and enable this process. How might both the precarity (financial and physical) and the motility (locomotive and emotive) specific to dance as discipline help us to rethink the different economies of scale that performance engages: from the abstractly derivative and all-encompassing markets of global commerce to the resolutely embodied and intimate spaces of local collaboration? In attempting to answer this question, I am also seeking to account for the work of living—for both my dance-artist friends and myself—that goes into making and supporting a work of live art.
Selling Himself in Central Park: Banksy Does New York
Authors: Stowell-Kaplan Isabel 
Published: April 2015

Abstract: In October 2013, as part of his New York “residency,” British street artist Banksy staged an art sale in Central Park. Here, unadvertised and unannounced, he sold original Banksy canvases for only $60 each. The second part of the performance took place the following day as Banksy, by way of his New York blog, publicized this already concluded event, reminding his audience that “it will not be there again today.” Underlining the apparent fragility of the event (“it will not be there again today”), he quite literally capitalizes on the valuable vulnerability of his work which most New Yorkers couldn’t help but miss. It was this apparently fleeting existence that was precisely the quality that many had thought might exclude performance (and, indeed, street art) from a kind of commodity-driven market. However, as Banksy’s latest interventions demonstrate, it is precisely this sense of ephemerality which gives the work its value. Crystallized into a kind of “just-missed” aesthetic, Banksy’s skyrocketing economic worth rests upon a longing for this kind of intangible affective work; a longing translated rather easily into dollars and cents. In this article I explore the tensions between such apparently ephemeral work and a market so keen to acquire it, examining precisely how Banksy creates his place in the contemporary art and performance markets.
The Ballad of __________B
Authors: Granados Francisco-Fernando 
Published: April 2015

Abstract: The Ballad of _______ B is an experimental script for an action-based installation that bridges the disciplines of performance art, conceptual art, and theatre. Based on a biographical narrative about the artist’s background as a refugee to Canada during his teenage years originally published in a newspaper, the text was appropriated for profit by an English-language textbook company. As a response, the artist reclaimed the text as a readymade, presenting the central character as a series of lines that create blank spaces within the story. Readers are invited to fill in the blanks as a means to imagine a new character. An accompanying text contextualizes the script, exploring the circulation of the text in a cultural and material economy.
Marketing, Merch, and Media: Nicole Lizée, in Conversation
Authors: Wiseman Howard , Disman Adriana 
Published: April 2015

Abstract: Nicole Lizée is an award-winning classical music composer and performer who composes for string quartet, electronic music, turntable, film, and other media. She has emerged as a major new voice in new classical composition, winning the coveted Canada Council for the Arts Jules Léger Prize (2013) for new Canadian chamber music with her work White Label Experiment. She has been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet among many other prestigious ensembles. This interview engages her relation to various aspects of her work, from marketing and promotion to inspiration and creation in the context of “avant garde” music. How can marketing continue to be part of the art itself? Does instinctively not fitting into a box allow for greater freedom to explore classical and chamber music in the broader context of film and other media? What other factors may be contributing to the inspired vitality of her work?
La musique « répétitive » : une révolution conservatrice dans le monde musical savant américain ?
Authors: Denave Laurent 
Published: April 2015

La musique dite « répétitive » (dont les représentants les plus célèbres sont Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Adams et Laurie Anderson) est-elle un exemple de révolution conservatrice dans le monde musical ? Ce courant, qui émerge aux États-Unis à partir des années 1960, est en effet considéré comme « moderne » ou « d’avant-garde » alors qu’il semble pourtant marquer un retour au passé, tant au niveau des prises de position musicales (remise au goût du jour d’un style d’écriture traditionnel) qu’à celui des positions dans l’espace des compositeurs savants (renoncement à l’autonomie vis-à-vis notamment du « marché » de la musique). Pour savoir s’il s’agit bien d’une révolution conservatrice, nous rappelons tout d’abord les conditions standard de production de la musique moderne (ou d’avant-garde) aux États-Unis, depuis sa naissance au début du XX e siècle jusqu’aux années 1960. Nous montrons ensuite que ces conditions changent de façon remarquable pour les principaux tenants du courant répétitif. La dépendance à l’égard des institutions académiques et, surtout, des institutions commerciales devient forte alors qu’elle faisait auparavant l’objet d’un rejet par les compositeurs modernes. On pourrait ainsi considérer la musique répétitive comme une entreprise de réintégration d’une partie de la « musique nouvelle » dans l’ordre musical dominant (académique et commercial), réaction contre la modernité musicale et remise en cause de l’autonomie de la création musicale, autrement dit une révolution conservatrice dans le monde musical savant américain.
Une littérature moyenne
Authors: Tommek Heribert 
Published: April 2015

À l’instar de la production culturelle en général, le champ littéraire allemand connaît des transformations majeures depuis les années 1960. Les interactions entre le sous-champ de la production restreinte et celui de la grande production y sont fréquentes. Il convient donc d’analyser cet espace intermédiaire dans lequel les valeurs esthétiques internes au champ, les fonctions de divertissement et les critères de réussite économique s’hybrident. En prenant l’exemple du champ littéraire allemand et de son évolution depuis les années 1990, nous nous proposons ainsi de mettre en évidence une nouvelle dynamique régie par une logique horizontale qui mêle capital culturel et capital économique ; nous introduisons à cette fin le concept de « littérature moyenne » par référence au concept d’« art moyen » défini par Pierre Bourdieu. On peut, en effet, établir un parallèle entre la photographie des années 1960 et la littérature actuelle : elle oscille entre forme et fonction. Son caractère transmissible et reproductible la démarque de l’art issu de la haute culture. Mais elle se distingue également de la littérature populaire ?
« Sésame ouvre-toi... » ou Comment créer des espaces d’expression en pédopsychiatrie
Authors: Rajablat Marie , de Truchis-Ramière Vésiane 
Published: April 2015

Une équipe pédopsychiatrique propose ici un conte, présenté en juin 2013 lors des 28 e Journées de Saint-Alban consacrées à la psychothérapie institutionnelle. Les acteurs de ce récit sont des soignants qui ont comme intérêt commun le « soin de l’être » des enfants et des adolescents qu’ils accueillent. Et c’est au cœur du quotidien qu’ils tentent avec délicatesse, chacun à sa façon, d’amener l’enfant ou l’adolescent à reconnaître autrui sans qu’il se sente menacé dans sa propre existence. Ainsi, tour à tour, les infirmières deviennent pour un temps « tisseuses » ou « conteuses », l’aide médico-psychologique devient une « tricoteuse », l’aide-soignant, « un géant », le psychomotricien, « un troubadour » et la psychologue, « une penseuse ou panseuse ».
