À propos de ce contenu audio

What actually powers modern life, and why does oil and gas still matter more than most people realize?

In this episode of Executive Connect, host Bryan Hancock sits down with John Casiano, an independent consulting geologist based in San Antonio, to unpack how geology drives oil and gas investments, energy security, and the global economy. John explains how petroleum geology works in real terms, from identifying source rocks to understanding pay zones, fracking, and horizontal drilling.

The conversation also tackles the energy transition, the realities of renewables, the role of infrastructure, and why oil and gas remain essential for everything from manufacturing and transportation to emerging technologies like AI and data centers. If you want a grounded, technical, and practical perspective on energy without political spin, this episode delivers.
