#QualityMatters Ep 135 - Small Business - Oil & Gas - Mark LaCour of OGGN

We're back! We apologize for the pause in new episodes for
#QualityMatters, but we're back! Today we're diving into a topic
that Kyle is very passionate about, the role of small business in
Oil & Gas here in America. The simple fact is, the super majors
like Chevron and Exon do not play near the role in Oil & Gas
extraction for the average American as small business does.

"Environmental - Social - Governance" requirements is placing
additional requirements on small business.  But this is not
all bad news.  The small businesses and teams that are
prepared to implement, and quickly and more efficiently than the
larger or otherwise slower counterparts are in a great position to
dominate their space and stay competitive.  Special thanks to
