You won't want to miss this fun episode of the Energy News Beat Conversations in Energy with Stu Turley and also on the Energy Impacts with David Blackmon.


We have two special guests, Doug Sandridge and Mark Stansbury, who are both oil and gas executives in the industry. We will be covering some great and fun parts of the series, but we will also cover the "Drill Baby Drill" expectations from President Trump. Expectations from Washington and Hollywood don't always align.
