Thank you to everyone who joined Dustin Lott, President of TRC Gas Lift Technologies, Inc., at the OWI APAC 2026 Conference last week. Dustin presented how TRC's Super Sonic Technology (SST) is helping operators optimize gas lift performance to increase production, save lift gas and stabilize their gas lifted wells. The presentation generated excellent discussion, and we appreciated the opportunity to share how innovative gas lift solutions are delivering measurable results in the field. #TRCInAction #GasLift #OWIAPAC2026

250 Years of Independence. One Future Built on Innovation. 🇺🇸 Happy 250th Anniversary, America! Diversified

One of the messages that really resonated with me from this month’s AAPG Explorer was that AI doesn’t replace good geology. It makes good geologists even better. At Diversified, that’s exactly how we think. The foundation of any AI model has to be real, physics based data. That’s why we’ve invested so heavily in extracting as much information as possible from drill cuttings or core,whether they’re collected in real time while drilling or from legacy sample archives. Drill cuttings are one of the industry’s most valuable and underutilized data sources. By combining geochemistry, imaging, mineralogy and AI, we turn those samples into practical information that helps operators make better decisions. The objective is simple: better reservoir understanding, reduced uncertainty and more efficient resource extraction. As our industry adopts more AI, the companies that will create the most value won’t necessarily have the biggest models. They’ll be the ones with the best grounded data. That’s what we do every day at Diversified. If you’d like to learn more about how we help operators unlock the value of drill cuttings and legacy geological collections, please get in touch. 📧 info@diversifiedai.com #Geoscience #AI #DrillCuttings #ReservoirCharacterization #Geochemistry #MudLogging #Mining #Geothermal #CCS #DiversifiedAI Diversified

New episode just dropped!!! ( links are in the comment section below) Mr.Mario Ruscev needs no introduction… It was really cool to sit down with someone who started to work at the same company that I did but 30 years earlier!!! 🤯 I was in for a treat and for a nice history & leadership lesson. Mario is a 6 TIME C-Suite leader and sits on several boards, now you tell me who else you know has had this much career success?? I enjoyed the conversation and excited for you all to tune in tomorrow. Make sure you follow The Massiel Diez Show page so you’re up to date every time a new episode drops on Mondays! #oilfield #podcast #schlumberger

Today marks 20 years with CHRISTUS Health! I knew this was a great organization from my first interview with Ellen Reiss ➕. What I didn't know was how much I would grow both professionally and personally over the years. I've had the opportunity to lead meaningful projects, work alongside incredible leaders and colleagues, and contribute to initiatives that support our mission and strategy. Along the way, I've been challenged, encouraged, stretched outside of my comfort zone, and given opportunities that have helped shape the professional I am today. I may be a little biased, but I truly believe CHRISTUS is one of the best places to work. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and that's not something everyone gets to say. As I reflect on the past twenty years, my biggest takeaway is gratitude. Gratitude for the people who have invested in me, believed in me, and created opportunities for me to grow. Excited to keep "Extending the Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ" 💜.

That’s a wrap on URTeC 2026!

Happy Father’s Day from Diversified -ai. Today we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and father figures whose strength, guidance, and dedication help shape the lives of those around them. Wishing all fathers a wonderful Father’s Day filled with pride, appreciation, and time with loved ones.

The 60 biggest miners on Earth are worth $2.6T combined. They sell $1.1T a year, and as a group are up +14.8% YTD. Stack all of them up and they are still worth less than Microsoft is on its own. The copper in your wires. The lithium in your phone. The iron in your building. The gold in the vault. All of them. Together. Worth less than the software that runs on top of the metal. Now here is the strange part. Gold is the single most common metal these 60 giants chase. 15 companies built their name on it. And yet: -> 10 of those 15 are down this year -> Gold miners average -5.8% YTD, while the whole group is up +14.8% The metal shines. Most of the people pulling it out of the ground are in the red. Everyone wants gold at the top and hates it at the discount. I am taking the discount, because I believe this is the pause before the run. Gold does not need permission, and neither do I. So if not gold, who is actually winning? Follow the wires. Copper is the quiet king: -> 13 companies -> The single biggest slice of all this value, 25%, exactly $654.0B -> 11 of those 13 are up this year Copper is the metal of everything electric. Wiring. EVs. Power grids. The data centers training every AI model you have heard of. The market is already pricing in a structural copper shortage by 2030. But the loudest winner? A metal you have probably never said out loud. -> Tungsten averaged +162% YTD, with one Chinese producer up +233.8% -> Molybdenum rose +85.4% on its single producer, Jinduicheng Moly Tiny. Obscure. Used in defense, cutting tools, and semiconductors. The metals nobody talks about quietly won the biggest. Now the twist that breaks most people's mental map. Where these giants live is not where they dig. -> The UK hosts Rio Tinto, Anglo American, and Antofagasta -> Switzerland hosts Glencore -> None of them meaningfully mine at home Where the head offices actually sit (by company count): -> China: 15 companies, $457.0B -> The US: 6 companies, $462.6B -> Australia: 6 companies, $347.5B -> Canada: 9 companies, $329.9B -> The UK: 4 companies, $300.6B Read that twice. China has the most companies. The US has the most money, $462.6B, from just 6 firms. Where the digging actually happens (countries of operation): -> Australia, where 25 of these 60 operate -> Canada, 17 -> Chile, 15 -> Peru, 13 -> Brazil, 12 -> plus heavy presence across Africa The map of head offices is a map of money. The map of operations is a map of rock. Two completely different maps. One last thing the numbers hide. Glencore sells $252.8B a year. The market values it at $92.7B. Southern Copper sells just $13.4B a year. The market values it at $162.3B. One sells 18 times more and is worth less. Because investors do not pay for the sales ticket. They pay for the rock in the ground and the margin on it. So which would you bet on for the next 10 years: the metal, the miner, or the ground itself?
