  Can Canada Become An Energy Superpower? Yes, But It Will Take More Than Slogans

  Aug 12, 202614 min

  Energy superpower is a fine marketing slogan. In fact, lots of countries have stated their ambition to become the next energy superpower, but oddly, no one spells out what that actually means. Fortunately, there is a rigorous academic definition for energy superpowerhood, which ranks the EU, the U.S., and China as the world's true energy superpowers. All others are pretenders, Canada included, despite its obvious oil and gas resources. What would it take to become a true energy superpower, and is now strategically the right time to pursue such a game plan? ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources: Go backstage and check out my studio: https://geoffreycann.com/mystudio/ Take my one day digital strategy training course for oil and gas: https://www.udemy.com/course/digital-oil-and-gas/?referralCode=0161D4D49AB75735A185 Connect with Me: ️ Blog series: https://digitaloilgas.substack.com/ Podcast: https://geoffreycann.com/broadcast/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/advocate-digital-innovation-for-energy/ X: https://x.com/geoffreycann ⚠️ Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are my own and do not constitute professional advice.

  Agentic AI Is All The Rage: Reducing The Cognitive Burden On The Workforce

  Jul 29, 202612 min

  Industrial AI is into a new phase. Agentic AI is software that can plan, reason, learn, and act with far greater independence than traditional automation. While the technology is advancing quickly, the oil and gas industry faces unique technical, regulatory, and operational challenges that make full autonomy far less straightforward. In this episode, I share what agentic AI actually is, why it differs from conventional automation, and why the industry's aging assets, fragmented data, safety requirements, cybersecurity concerns, and accountability standards create real barriers to adoption. I also share where I believe agentic AI can deliver the greatest value today: reducing the cognitive burden on engineers by assisting with planning, monitoring, coordination, and decision preparation while keeping humans squarely in the loop. The future is a function of humans plus AI, instead of the gloomy either/or we hear. ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources: Go backstage and check out my studio: https://geoffreycann.com/mystudio/ Take my one day digital strategy training course for oil and gas: https://www.udemy.com/course/digital-oil-and-gas/?referralCode=0161D4D49AB75735A185 Connect with Me: ️ Blog series: https://digitaloilgas.substack.com/ Podcast: https://geoffreycann.com/broadcast/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/advocate-digital-innovation-for-energy/ X: https://x.com/geoffreycann ⚠️ Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are my own and do not constitute professional advice.

  Digital Lessons From The US War on Iran: Drones, Remote Sensing, Speed and More

  Jul 22, 202612 min

  It's sad to say but wars create opportunities to apply new technologies in novel ways as the combatants seek to gain advantage over each other. The US-Israeli War on Iran is a case in point. If you've been monitoring the public airwaves about the war, you'll have picked up hints about the role that digital innovations are playing in the crisis. These signals in and of themselves are almost always overshadowed by the big kinetic actions , such as bombings and destruction. Collect them together, project them forward, and they reveal how the world will likely be different when the hostilities abate. In this podcast I share several insights that I believe have significant bearing on the future of oil and gas infrastructure , not just in the Gulf area but globally wherever there is the potential for conflict. ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources Go backstage and check out my studio: https://geoffreycann.com/mystudio/ Take my one day digital strategy training course for oil and gas: https://www.udemy.com/course/digital-oil-and-gas/?referralCode=0161D4D49AB75735A185 Connect with Me ️ Blog series: https://digitaloilgas.substack.com/ Podcast: https://geoffreycann.com/broadcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/advocate-digital-innovation-for-energy/ X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/geoffreycann ⚠️ Disclaimer The views expressed in this podcast are my own and do not constitute professional advice.

  The $50B Junk Drawer: Turning Oilpatch Surplus Into Serious Cash

  May 20, 202631 min

  Oil and gas companies are sitting on vast amounts of surplus inventory, often without realizing its true scale or value. Equipment purchased for major projects frequently ends up idle, and stored across warehouses and laydown yards, while tying up capital and incurring ongoing costs. While some of this surplus results from project changes or cancellations, much of it reflects a deeper systemic issue around how industrial assets are tracked and managed. The challenge is greater than just the existence of surplus, and is much more about the inability to act on it. Data quality deteriorates as assets move through their lifecycle, internal systems fail to communicate across business units, and there are few effective tools to support reuse or divestment. At the same time, procurement incentives often favour new purchases over internal utilization. The result is a fragmented environment where companies unknowingly duplicate spend while valuable inventory sits unused. In this episode, I am speaking with Taylor Assaly , founder of IronHub , about how AI-driven data enrichment is transforming surplus management. He explains how structuring and scaling industrial data allows companies to identify, trust, and reuse existing assets—unlocking significant cost savings and improving capital efficiency. We also explore the broader opportunity to create internal and peer-to-peer marketplaces that increase asset utilization and turn surplus into measurable financial returns. 👤 About The Guest Taylor Assaly is the Founder and President of IronHub , a company focused on transforming how industrial organizations manage and monetize surplus inventory. With a background that spans entrepreneurship and frontline oilfield experience, Taylor has built IronHub into a platform that leverages AI to structure and enrich industrial data at scale. His work centers on improving asset visibility, enabling reuse, and driving capital efficiency across the energy sector. 💼 LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-assaly/ 🌐 Company Website https://www.ironhub.com/ ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources 🎬 Go backstage and check out my studio: https://geoffreycann.com/mystudio/ 🎓 Take my one day digital strategy training course for oil and gas: https://www.udemy.com/course/digital-oil-and-gas/?referralCode=0161D4D49AB75735A185 🔗 Connect with Me 🖥️ Blog series: https://digitaloilgas.substack.com/ 🎧 Podcast: https://geoffreycann.com/broadcast/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/advocate-digital-innovation-for-energy/ 🤬 X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/geoffreycann ⚠️ Disclaimer The views expressed in this podcast are my own and do not constitute professional advice.
